VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:In terms of economy of storytelling they could parcel out his impact to the other characters, but I sincerely hope not because the infinitely layered onion that is the badassery of Thom Merrilin is one of the pure joys of the books. Do over fantasies are huge in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese media, mostly recently in web comics and litnovels.

Al’Thor Arthur is pretty good as well.

Hopping in late, but swords are basically ineffective against most forms of armor. Thrusting and stabbing have some effectiveness but cuts hardly work against even thick padded cloth armor. They’re good for killing unarmored peasants though.

Gnoman posted:Do we ever find out who started the anti-Morgase sentiment in Eye Of The World? It very strongly feels like the work of another House, but I don't remember if they ever said which one. I thought it was implied to be Rhavin. He was able to take advantage of the situation to get into Morgases good side and he had people setup already to fill the power vacuum after Gareth Bryne and the other lords left. The remaining loyal guards also kept referring to themselves as the queens men and to Rahvins faction in the same way that the anti Morgase faction were referred to, ie loyal to the crown and not the queen.

Famethrowa posted:the issue, mainly, is that he tends to err on the side of humans being super myopic and rigid more often then he does flexible and able to learn new things. most people are able to adopt a growth mindset in the real world. it's pessimism being peddled as reality and it's hard to buy. Seems pretty realistic actually. People tend to be a lot more rigid and stubborn especially when they have a superiority complex.

VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:Thom Merrilin might have been slumming it, but he wasn't exactly going incognito. He didn't change his name, he didn't change his appearance, he still claims to have been a court bard. She might know of some guy named Thom who was a court bard that hung out with royalty. But if she's never met him it's really kinda hard to recognize someone based off just a name.

Just finished reading the recap for LoC that was posted a bit earlier and....How did Taim know that Rand was captured by the Tower Aes Sedai and how did he know exactly where to gate to for the rescue? I must have been a darkfriend/black ajah/forsaken informant right?

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Which really means he had to be picked up by Ishamael, as no one else fits the timeline. Was there a Saldaean at the dark friend social? In that case I seems a good theory is that Demandred (using Taim) was working to foil Mesaanas plan (manipulating the tower aes Sedai and the black ajah). Demandred certainly knew where Rand was as he was communicating with the Shaido encouraging them to also attack the Aes Sedai. Demandred and the Dark one probably didn’t want Rand in Tower hands as that reduces the chance of Chaos, and also increases the possibility of Rand being gentled.
