Bigmikey357 he/him Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 I am currently re-reading Wheel of Time and something interesting occurred to me in regards to the Forsaken. There are 3 assumptions baked in to this thought exercise. One, that the Forsaken could actually get to Roshar, that they became good guys and that they could actually form a Nahel bond. The second assumption isn't quite as important as we know Voidbinding forms twisted versions of the Orders although we don't know if names have been established for them. Btw, I know this is impossible; I'm basing this on the personalities of the Forsaken and how they match with the characteristics of the Orders. With that out of the way, lets start this thing: Ishmael/Bondsmith. The leader of the Forsaken, seems to understand the DO best. Demandred/Windrunner. None of the Forsaken try to protect anything but of all the Forsaken he's the best leader. Also has more honor than any of them. Semirhage/Edgedancer. Healing, plus into small details. Edgedancers according to Hessia Mythica, ignore large scale considerations in favor of the minutia (Remember the Forgotten) Mesanna/Elsecaller. About the spread of knowledge, a teacher and an organizer. Lanfear/Lightweaver. Rarely lies yet can use both lies and truth like a scalpel. Master of Tel'aran'riod because she knows herself very well. Samael/Skybreaker. A lawful dude despite his allegiance to the Shadow. Aginor/Dustbringer. As a researcher and a mad scientist, he likes taking things apart to see how they work. Graendal/Willshaper. Consummate Puppetmaster. Moghedien/Truthwatcher. Hides in the shadows and gathers secrets like no other. ???/Stoneward. Cannot think of any of them embodying the virtues resolute/builder. Maybe Rahvin or Be'lal? Of the last 2 Forsaken, Asmodean was an artist during AoL and thus could fit with Lightweavers potentially. As for Bathamel/Aran'gar/Halima, I have no idea. Feel free to comment. 1
