IMO, he is behind the Sea Folk. Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 10/12/2009 06:41:06 PM
They are the only significant force yet. Rand clearly doesn't have a big tie to them, and those he does have a tie to are clearly in the minority of Sea Folk power-wielders. Harine is pretty much a tool to spy on Rand, scorned by her society (tGS, A Tale of Blood, "'Tell me, Harine, were you punished much for your part in our agreement?' 'I was hung up by my ankles naked and strapped until I could scream no more'";).

An army of 500 Windfinders striking the coasts of Randland at TG would not be insignificant.

Remember also that the Sea Folk have bargained for ownership of land near several major cities (Caemlyn, Cairhien). This would make the perfect foothold for launching a pinpoint attack, especially if the Ways and travelling are not available.

Finally, back to Harine, we know that Demandred is meant to be keeping tabs on Rand along with Dashiva; aside from Rand's mostly trusted cohorts, the one outsider who manages to spend significant time around him is Harine. She is even willing the betray Sea Folk secrets about male channelers in order to get a question she can ask of him - she saves this, possibly in order to find out what Demandred wants to know first.

I know there's lots of speculation here, but I'd say that the Sea Folk are at least as viable a place as Murandy.

They're both Saldaean and have never been seen together! *NM* - 09/12/2009 11:36:46 PM 460 Views
More likely, the hook-nose is too hard to cover up *NM* - 10/12/2009 01:23:32 AM 363 Views
I officially endorse this theory. Anything to see Faile balefired. *NM* - 10/12/2009 02:16:49 AM 357 Views
I like Faile. She has balls. And Perrin's as well, for an extra set. - 10/12/2009 03:23:31 PM 694 Views
Agreed, I liked her far more upon rereading the series. - 10/12/2009 06:23:44 PM 790 Views
I'd think you would like someone like her *NM* - 10/12/2009 03:47:56 PM 362 Views

According to RJ, some guy we've never seen on-screen or heard a POV from. - 10/12/2009 03:20:48 PM 771 Views
But we might have seen him in The Gathering Storm. - 10/12/2009 03:38:37 PM 652 Views
Possible, which is why I say he is some random guy we've never heard of before. - 10/12/2009 03:56:53 PM 699 Views
Nope... - 10/12/2009 04:51:31 PM 746 Views
