Mazrim Taim

[atlas74]

I was just rereading TSR Chpt 5 the last few pages Eg and Nyn were questioning Joiya on BA plans, she stated that Liandrin had plans to kidnap Taim and using him to pose as Rand and cause chaos in his name. Eggy thought Joiya must be lying, perhaps it was truth? Could Liandrin have followed through or at least made contact with Taim? I dont know if this has been discussed but feel free to critique, criticize, theorize, etc...

Not at all.

When Liandrin attacks the wounded Mogy, then punished and placed under a 'permanent' shield. It all takes place still in Tanchico. Which means the BA never had time to go after Taim.

 

Besides, it might have been a diversion attempt, it was never confirmed as a real plan.

This can go in the existing Taim thread. Though, if you're interested, I've theorized about this--follow the link in my sig to my FAQ, it's under "Taim's 'escape', Joiya's 'lies', and the Borderland 'Aes Sedai'."
