[Plot Specific] Good and Evil, Creator and DO?

[Mithan]

 

I can't understand if he WANT's the power of remaking the pattern in his own image (which could be Tainted Two Rivers (T2R) or Evil Caemlyn (EC), or Nothingness) and which option he would prefer. Ishy is of the opinion that the DO will not bother remaking the pattern, he will simply destroy it.

The DO seems to be happy to have even marginal Power over the world; sealed away in the bore with a minimal effect on the Pattern, he has countless shadowspawn at his disposal, dozens or perhaps hundreds of Grey Men, and thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Friend of the Dark.

He's got his Black Ajah (and his Black Ashaman).

Of course he wants more power, but what good is power if there is no one left to serve him? does he prefer the fight, the challenge where he can enjoy the thrill of minor victory, or does he prefer the nothingness?

 

 

One of the realizations that Rand was the Dark Ones option of "nothingness" is nothing but a lie.
