He doesn't? Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 16/12/2009 11:37:34 PM
When does Bryne say that Murandy would be a factor in a conflict between Rand's armies comprised of at least three powerful nations, most of the Aiel in the Waste and a legion of trained channeling war weapons, the Seanchan armies which have conquered similarly or more powerful nations near instantly, and all the Shadowspawn in the Blight?

To me such a sceanrio seems much more satisfying than a complete deux ex machina Sharan army or - even worse - one from the Land of the Madmen (which is only mentioned in the Guide).


I actually suspect Demandred is working through the Black Tower. I mean, what better way to both undercut his hated enemy and get an army capable of defeating him?

But it's still a small country Sidious - 15/12/2009 03:06:24 PM 505 Views
Again, Murandy might be a bit smaller Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:10:11 PM 508 Views

The Dragonsworn made chaos in half of the Westlands. Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:55:00 PM 722 Views
Agreed, only Sammael, Rhavin and Be'lal really laid claim to nations darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:12:17 PM 472 Views
to confirm you amirebram - 15/12/2009 10:47:22 PM 477 Views
I'm just not convinced that this would be a coup major enough to earn Demandred DO Kudos. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 03:06:54 PM 477 Views
As said, controlling Murandy plus chaos by the Dragonsworn in 6 Westland nations. *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:11:25 PM 209 Views
well no, arad doman and tarabon were not his.... *NM* mazza3 - 15/12/2009 03:57:27 PM 217 Views
Umm.., care to elaborate? *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:10:15 PM 208 Views
I was pretty sure that the Dragonsworn as a fighting force were destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 04:07:38 PM 432 Views
But the Dragonsworn caused much chaos everywhere they were through the series... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:28:42 PM 413 Views
But that's not the Shadow's aim. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 06:32:38 PM 434 Views
What if the only way to free the DO involves the world lacking the order necessary to contain him? darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 11:59:47 PM 408 Views
I have always said that Demandred is loosely based on Hannibal Barca... Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:29:22 PM 502 Views
Those a pretty flimsy conformities, IMO... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:53:04 PM 451 Views
Of course.. Shannow - 15/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 434 Views
The Seanchan have elephants too ... S'redit I think they call them darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 12:04:40 AM 491 Views
Yes, but with so many Trollocs who needs vast armies of men? darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:15:08 PM 432 Views

well, it's not like the Forsaken have been particularly impressive thus far darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:51:38 PM 405 Views
It's about the impact of action. Timing. amirebram - 15/12/2009 10:53:03 PM 414 Views
Why does Demandred say: "We" will be ready? Why not "I" will be ready? Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:06:42 PM 575 Views
Well... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:22:57 PM 457 Views

It is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 15/12/2009 10:49:20 PM 416 Views
It's importance lies in it's strategic location. Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/12/2009 04:46:20 AM 421 Views
I think some Murandians might mention Trollocs gathering there. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:05:29 AM 445 Views
what if they're wearing dresses and lady masks? *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 09:10:57 AM 208 Views
Do the ladies in Murandy wear masks? I don't recall. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 09:24:46 AM 429 Views
masks to look like ladies *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 04:11:07 PM 205 Views
Note to self: Avoid the Murandian ladies... *NM* BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 216 Views
Moridin is gathering the Trollocs in the Blight, as we learn in TGS! Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:13:38 PM 404 Views
A Murandian army is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:59:54 PM 416 Views
For example, the Great Captain Bryne doesn't agree with you... Etzel - 16/12/2009 08:25:19 PM 410 Views
Maybe he's based in an alternate universe? BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 09:26:53 PM 397 Views
He doesn't? Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 11:37:34 PM 394 Views
Like the supposed unimportance of Murandy, it's a typical misunderstanding... Etzel - 17/12/2009 11:56:16 AM 485 Views
Re: A Murandian army is insignificant. Sidious - 16/12/2009 08:27:28 PM 440 Views
Surely you jest. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 11:39:23 PM 379 Views
Re: Surely you jest. Sidious - 17/12/2009 06:35:57 AM 404 Views
Well that depends. Fanatic-Templar - 17/12/2009 08:33:12 PM 406 Views
As said, it's additional chaos and strife. Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:01:05 PM 831 Views
Its illogical to assume that Westlanders... Heiko - 16/12/2009 12:25:08 AM 422 Views
But that is exactly... Etzel - 16/12/2009 11:53:11 AM 426 Views
I agree mostly. It's a common RJ theme Deadsy - 16/12/2009 07:42:39 AM 466 Views
Honestly, at this point BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 09:07:35 AM 420 Views

Ah, right that order is certainly out of character with Demandred. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/12/2009 06:40:32 PM 178 Views
