While I agree on most of it I have to ask how Taim picked up AoL mannerisms unless darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 03:48:41 PM

I think Taim has been a darkfriend for years - maybe even his whole life.

At some stage he was picked up by one of the male Forsaken and trained a little. He was undoubtedly picked up by Ishamael at a very early stage, and rescued by his command, but his training could have been under a different Forsaken, like Demandred or Sammael. If he's even had training - he may just be a very skilled channeler who's worked out some secret weaves.

Either way, I think he's Alviarin's equivalent. She was selected to be the head of the BA long ago by Ishamael, and eventually Mesaana picked her up and trained her a little. It's similar with Taim.


he spent a lot of time training under Ishamael before the events of the series.

Is Demandred able to transpose his personality onto his servants, with a Compulsion type of weave? Shannow - 06/12/2009 07:26:44 AM 1382 Views

IMO RJ shot down Taimandred in order to surprise us. But you make good points. *NM* Lord Haart - 06/12/2009 10:17:56 AM 415 Views

I not only agree with your Arangar theory, I think it is undoubtedly true... Shannow - 06/12/2009 11:55:25 AM 667 Views
Indeed Etzel - 06/12/2009 01:10:49 PM 560 Views
I posted a theory at the old wotmania that maybe he is "linked" to Demandred. Tom - 06/12/2009 03:23:09 PM 530 Views

Why is Taim believed to be directed by Moridin? Shannow - 06/12/2009 05:55:44 PM 577 Views

If you base it on Osangar, then you should also say Moridin was in charge of Egwene... Shannow - 06/12/2009 06:04:37 PM 699 Views

Agreed ... this seems just a hangover from Taimandred theory to me darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:33:32 PM 636 Views
Moridin didn't EXIST when Taim first arrived in Caemlyn... Shannow - 06/12/2009 06:37:42 PM 646 Views

very well said darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:15:22 PM 541 Views
A few points... Shannow - 06/12/2009 07:24:09 PM 501 Views
You are making an assumption that Demandred could have done all this is a few months darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:18:43 PM 494 Views
Yes, I am assuming that... Shannow - 06/12/2009 08:34:40 PM 551 Views
But you are missing a couple of key points darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 02:12:04 AM 628 Views

I'll have to go back and check, but I could have sworn there was an Aiel thing too darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 09:14:29 PM 453 Views

100 Ashaman, plus the Dragonsworn, plus the Whitecloaks, plus Murandy would be an achievement... Shannow - 07/12/2009 12:49:31 PM 523 Views
Probably over 100, plus he picks the most powerful of them. Lord Haart - 07/12/2009 02:34:25 PM 473 Views
