Moraine Damendred and Massana Dagar

[Abraxas77]

This theory hardly deserves the title, but again I feel I should mention it because I've never heard this angle.

Basically, I think there may be some type of forshadowing going on with names. Domadred/Damendred and Mesema/Massana. Anyone agree?

I truely can not see Moraine being Massana, or any of the Forsaken for that matter. But I have made a good arguement for Masema as Damendred (see "The Prophet has Forsaken Us"). Does anyone know of a correlation between Damendred and Messana?
**taps on head--winnie the pooh style** "think... think... think..."

Ingtar showed us that anyone can be of the shadow, but I would have a VERY had time accepting Moraine as one. This is one theory of mine that even I don't like very much.

Oh, I know... there's more than one Domadred. Maybe Caroline is another cover for Massana. I mean, it was rather strange how she just happend to be the first to find Rand (alone might I add) when he went to Hadden Mirk. Can females set wards to detect sadin?

Does she ever tap her lip in thought?

Why would there be a relation between Demandred and the Damodred family? Just because their names are similar? Do you think that Demandred visited the founding father of the Damodred family (which he couldn't have done, because he was imprisoned), and told him to take a name close to his own, or some other weird reason?

Or do you think that RJ is such a hack of a writer that he will base plotlines on the fact that some names might be similar? I mean, come on...

Yeah, the names of many of RJ's characters have some significance, but only in relation to characters from our own history or mythology, never in relation to other characters in the series (except of course shared names because of family relations).

BTW, there is actually a relation between Demandred and Mesaana other than that they're both Forsaken: they and Semirhage have had an alliance since before the Sealing of the Bore not to attack eachother as long as other Forsaken are still alive.

Like I said, it's a rather weak arguement. I just thought that the name thing might be a little forshadowing.
