Disagree... Shannow Send a noteboard - 18/11/2009 09:09:45 PM
If Rand could wipe the floor with her, he would never have thought that playing mind games with her is dangerous.

She is obviously a major physical threat. She threatened Lanfear. She threatened Rand. She showed considerable rationality when weighing Demandred against Semirhage, but felt fear at facing neither.

Where others are thinking of killing Moridin, she actually contemplates enslaving him, and if the various comments of Rand, Sammael and Demandred are anything to go by, she's capable of it.

I think that the differences in strength between the Forsaken are so thin that the weakest can challenge the strongest, and the battle can go either way. Which is why Demandred doesn't want to face Rand till he has a sa'angreal. No one at these levels has an unassailable lead unaided.


Rand isn't scared of Graendal at all. He is scared that she might ESCAPE him if he confronted her.

RJ himself has confirmed that Rand could have ended the battle with Lanfear at the Docks if he was willing to kill a woman.

Rand would wipe the floor with Graendal.

Graendal is weaker than Cyndane, who is weaker than Nynaeve.

Nynaeve is CONSIDERABLY weaker than Alivia, who is most proabably weaker than Lanfear.


And Rand could have defeated Lanfear at the Docks, if he wanted to, despite not being at full strength yet.

Graendal would stand no chance against Rand. She acknowledged as much when she said she'd never face him head on if Rahvin and Ishamael fell before him.

Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... - 18/11/2009 05:56:58 PM 2173 Views

I acknowledge that possibility... - 18/11/2009 06:24:30 PM 1008 Views
Someryn implies that Graendal is stronger. - 19/11/2009 01:51:31 PM 1103 Views
Excellent point...I'd forgotten about that... - 19/11/2009 02:00:30 PM 1017 Views
As I understand it... - 18/11/2009 06:23:26 PM 1106 Views
My view is that the new list is just a revised one, after RJ changed his mind on some things... - 18/11/2009 06:28:53 PM 1149 Views
Agreed. - 18/11/2009 06:31:22 PM 961 Views
I suppose that's possible. *NM* - 18/11/2009 06:31:42 PM 766 Views
I agree with this interpretation on the new vs. old list - 18/11/2009 07:13:02 PM 1038 Views

One problem... - 18/11/2009 06:10:06 PM 1148 Views
No... - 18/11/2009 06:14:48 PM 1050 Views
That's not a problem. - 18/11/2009 06:31:37 PM 995 Views
Why on earth would there be multiple restrictions on Cyndane's strength? - 18/11/2009 06:47:56 PM 902 Views

But Nynaeve and Mogheiden were of equal strength - 18/11/2009 06:15:52 PM 1193 Views
Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet... - 18/11/2009 06:19:07 PM 1231 Views
I agree...and I have a question regarding Moghedien. - 18/11/2009 06:30:07 PM 1039 Views
Cyndane has to be above Graendal. *NM* - 18/11/2009 06:33:16 PM 579 Views
You're right. I'll post new list below. *NM* - 18/11/2009 06:39:36 PM 598 Views
Was she? Nyn was mid20s and a wilder, I thought she had reached full strength - 18/11/2009 08:00:24 PM 1073 Views
She really hasn't had that much time channelling though. - 18/11/2009 08:07:31 PM 742 Views
Wilders rarely reach their full potential if they're blocked. *NM* - 18/11/2009 08:43:30 PM 618 Views
I know the Cleansing forced her a bit. - 18/11/2009 08:44:59 PM 1027 Views
That's been said before- anyone know where it says that in the text? - 19/11/2009 05:53:50 AM 810 Views
More or less agreed. I was right about Nynaeve! - 18/11/2009 06:29:27 PM 954 Views
IMO... - 18/11/2009 06:37:19 PM 1068 Views
I don't know... - 18/11/2009 06:56:10 PM 937 Views
I still think Alivia is below Lanfear's strength level... - 18/11/2009 06:59:01 PM 1247 Views
That just doesn't make sense... - 18/11/2009 07:02:17 PM 1064 Views
I agree that Lanfear and Alivia are tied. *NM* - 18/11/2009 07:06:19 PM 606 Views
All of my instincts indeed argue that 4 of the Forsaken CANNOT be below Nynaeve, but... - 18/11/2009 07:06:25 PM 895 Views
But why doesn't it make sense? - 18/11/2009 08:47:42 PM 794 Views
I don't think... - 18/11/2009 07:08:09 PM 1128 Views

Sera must be stronger... - 18/11/2009 09:25:00 PM 905 Views
There's no reason to be certain about it... - 18/11/2009 09:28:26 PM 950 Views
Well, the Bloodknives are precisely Tuon's tools - 18/11/2009 09:32:46 PM 906 Views
There are SIX women stronger than Nynaeve, and at least five are accounted for... - 18/11/2009 09:46:28 PM 954 Views
There are six stronger women named on the list - 19/11/2009 11:40:52 AM 964 Views
I'm not ignoring Sera! - 19/11/2009 06:13:43 PM 829 Views
You misunderstand me... - 19/11/2009 06:16:31 PM 917 Views
I doesn't make "sense". Let's leave it... - 19/11/2009 06:19:52 PM 907 Views
But Alivia (while strong in the OP) is an old fraile lady on her deathbed. *NM* - 18/11/2009 09:41:33 PM 601 Views
Pardon? Don't understand this really. *NM* - 19/11/2009 11:45:21 AM 444 Views
You keep saying Alivia was "a common damane" - 28/11/2009 08:58:42 PM 795 Views
You were right about Nynaeve, I was right about Graendal! Well done! - 18/11/2009 06:37:42 PM 1047 Views
Yes. This is one WoT debate coming to a close... - 18/11/2009 06:54:06 PM 818 Views

Someone must ask him: Is Cyndane one of the 6 above Nynaeve. - 19/11/2009 05:35:10 AM 868 Views
