Loghains glory

[Tomp]

Any ideas out there concerning Loghains glory to come?

[Clayden69]

Destroying the DF Ashaman and delivering the Ashaman to their destiny as the "Guardians". and opening a can of whoop ass on Taim, depending on whether Taim=Moridin or if Taim is just a highly placed very powerful DF. if Taim=Moridin then Logain will inflict a stunning defeat upon Taim/Moridin but then Moridin will escape to eventually face Rand at some point, if Taim is a highly placed DF then Logain will burn him to a crisp

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i was thinking maybe a st peter situation, with logain left behind as the leader of the light and the BT after rand disappears. but my knowledge of catholicism is pitiful, and probably any other apostle would work well.

[Durinax]

logains glory, may be paving the path to redemption for the people force turned.

[Sharaman]

Maybe he figures out a way to reverse the 13x13 (assuming that's what been happening) after frying Taim. He is after all, linked to two women channelers permanently and that might give him an edge in handling weirdness.

[Superhal]

His brave sacrifice at TG allows him to become a HotH.

this is Bela's role after the LB

Haha it's going to be more than just defeating Taim. Min repeatedly saw glory, "lots of glory", in his future. I wonder if this is one of those things where RJ changed his mind and so the absence of Logain in the past few books was not originally intended .. in any case, I'm guessing he'll have some important role in Tarmon Gai'don and probably afterwards as well. I wouldn't rule out him using Callandor with Rand as a further safety for example(if it needs 2 women to be safe but still isn't safe with two women, why not two women and two men or something?).

 

Also, why do people keep calling him Loghain??

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

@ Darren - that's ridiculous. you'd have to cut ear holes in the pointy red hat.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

wasn't the glory supposed to involve blue and gold? what kind of game is the last battle?

Isn't that what the sign of glory was, like doves would be a sign of peace and a white tower would be a sign of ... the white tower?

[Hybrid]

Yes, it's all becoming clear now . . .

 

Logain is the founder of UCLA.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i think logain founds notre dame. or my HS basketball team, the rams.

[Hybrid]

That would be neither blue and gold, nor glorious.

Some names are different when books are translated. I own the English versions now, but my first read-through was in Dutch and Rand was called Rhand Altor and Perrin was Perijn, Mat was Mart etc. I think Logain's name is different in the version OP reads as he used it twice :D

[Mats Spare Hat]

You guys didn't hear? Because of the whole hackneyed timeline backtracking and whatnot it got lost in the shuffle:

 

Logain aced the Suicide Six Wing Challenge in record time...I heard it was glorious!

[MarkDiLillo]

Logain might actually be the one to get the credit for defeating the DO in the end. It occured to me that the Dragon/Rand may not actually "do battle" with the DO or his physical shape in the world. His primary job may be to get the world ready and lead them towards the Last Battle. And in the end it's going to be up to the people to walk across the finish line and win the thing. Of course, Rand will play some important part...but the world may view Logain as the guy who championed the light to victory. Rand is really more hated and feared than loved.

 

Idk if I would bet on this happening...but it's certainly in the realm of possibility.

[dokfeelg00d]

I see Logain joining Rand in doing battle with DO Bill and Ted style... Logain's glory is making the DO yell "YOU HAVE SANK MY BATTLESHIP"...

 

Jokes aside the image of Rand distracting/weakening the DO and Logain making some effort that either pushes him back thru the bore or *killing* him somehow feels like a sound theory, once he nukes Taim of course.

[Owayn The Traveller]

It would really irk me if Rand softens up the big guy and logain lands the killer blow. Rand is the hero and he better get his due.

Logain couldn't even cut it as the dragon reborn.

What in flaming blue blazes is the Suicide Six Wing Challenge?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

suicide wings generally refer to buffalo style chicken wings made stupidly spicy with the addition of nearly, or truly, pure capsaicin or otherwise inedible hot sauce.

 

the 6 wing challenge would require the nutburger in question to eat all 6 wings.

 

the reward is very often the remaining 6 of the dozen, free, or just the original 6 wings free. and your name chalked on a board for all to know the depths of your silliness and probable drunkenness.

 

please don't try this at home, there are better ways to demonstrate your, er, machismo.

 

and if you do try this, please, for the love of all that's holy, wash your hands before you go to the bathroom.

Ahem.

 

To bring a little sanity back to the proceedings..

 

Here are Min's Viewings of Logain:

 

A flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come.

 

that flaring halo of gold and blue shone about his head, speaking of glory to come.

 

a halo flared around his head, a radiant crown of gold and blue.

 

Logain's aura still speaks of glory, stronger than ever."

 

The aura is still visible in KoD18.

 

Note the first Viewing mentions both power and glory.

 

The blue and gold echoes the enamelled pin he now wears on his shoulder, three golden crowns on a field of blue (KoD18). He was a minor noble in Ghealdan but King Johanin and the Crown High Council stripped him of his land and title when he became a false Dragon.

I would b seriously annoyed if this happened, and I'm a Logain fan

Thank you for the information, cindy.

 

And this Suicide Six Wing challenge sounds so flaming insane, that I think a person would have to be as crazy as Ishamael or Moridin before agreeing to willingly take on this challenge.

Perhaps it's how Rand will defeat the DO...........
