The Fisher

[Fatty_Oneish]

i have been reading the forums for a long time and want to ask a question to the rest of you.

 

what does the fisher piece refered to by moridin/mordeth when he is play the other type of stones game. i can't remember which book it is, and i wondered which pieces have come true so far.

 

as i remember, he had a piece of cloth over his eyes which indicates rand is going to stay blind

 

he was clucting his side with drops of blood dripping out

 

thier was another thing i can't remember, i think

 

oh and moridin was ranting about loss of knowledge

The game is called shah'rah, and it is described, along with the Fisher icon, in the prologue of The Path of Daggers, entitled Deceptive Appearances. The Fisher does indeed have a bandage or blindfold over his eyes, and is holding a wound in his side which is dripping blood. No further description is given, but Moridin is angry because the Fisher is almost certainly a distant memory of the last time the Dragon had been spun out at this point in the cycle (in other words, the previous "Third Age", not when he was spun out as Lews Therin, or any other Age in which he may have been spun out), and Moridin did not have access to a knowledge of the details of what had happened that time around.

Makes you wonder why the DO desn't tell his people what happened eh?

 

Maybe the DO also forgot? :lol:

Or maybe the Dark One isn't a very honest, forthcoming person.

Since the Fisher predates Rand and since the Fisher cannot be controled and acts indepentantly until the very end of the game, perhaps that is why Moridin hopes to turn Rand before the end

 

Various dreams seem to name Rand as ending in the same contition as the Fisher is described

It is also a reference to the Fisher King which is part of the Arthurian Legends. Do a search for the Fisher King on Google and you will get all sorts of info.
