Is anyone else confused or bothered by the fact that Semirhage seems to be such an expert on men driven insane by the taint on saidin?
I realize torturing people is kind of her thing and she probably knows the flavors of crazy like the back of her hand, but how could she develop an expertise in men driven insane by the taint. I thought the taint was the last counter strike of the Dark one before being sealed away.
If that is the case, since Semirhage was sealed away with the Dark One, she would not have had any time in the Age of Legends to observe men going insane because of the taint. This would leave only her time in this age after breaking free. Where are the insane male channelers she observed to draw this conclusion?
I'd say it was possible that Semirhage lied and said this to undermine Rand, but she seems to be exactly correct. So... ::shrug::
How could Semirhage have this knowledge? (sorry if this is off topic)
