I think you're thinking of 'Tracker'. Yep, he's here.

Good point, Stormbringer. Hadn't thought of that, although, since we're going with the rebellion as it was under the Plain of Fear, probably not.

Anyone want to guess how Lady's Empire or the Shadowlands would fare against Netheril?

Tracker and Toadkiller dog, the same guy that faked his death when he was with the company.

Pictures the state of the Netherse "Empire" 6 months after the Lady's sister "Joins" them. A few more voices added to her coarus eh?

I think you have Raven and Tracker confused. Or maybe it's me.

I still say that that is exactly HOW the Empire of the Lady would begin their conquest of the Netherese. Send Soulcatcher and Shapeshifter back as "Traitors"

Question for the Purposes of this arguement, is that rat bastard "Crow" available?
It's Raven you're thinking of.

Raven is the one that faked his death mutiple times. Tracker never did.

Soulcatcher alone would be able to do it. She's a cunning, vicious, and powerful opponent. Look at how she managed to play both The Lady and the Rebels for the Dominators sake. Trust me there is no one better at manipulating people and the masses than Soulcatcher.

Yeah, but she got tricked by Kina, who's not particularly bright.

The Lady's Empire would absolutely crush the Netheril. They've got shitloads of top notch sorcerers and sorceresses; not just the Taken and new Taken but lots of other lesser magic-weilders.

The Shadowlands would go down, hard. They were complete military hacks, only the ex-Taken among them had any real military ability. And then they weren't very good. They only did as good as they did because the other powers were worse.

Not to mention that their powers were greatly reduced in the southlands too.

Who? The Taken? They weren't any weaker than they were in the North. The problem was they had to expend a great deal of power simply to keep the shadows in line.

Look at the carnage Soulcatcher, Shift, or the Howler caused. They did some serious damage. The thing is those that aided the Shadowmasters had to spend their energies fighting their enemies and the shadows.

Well, let's assume that Longshadow got himself locked up in Overlook nice an tight, and then cut loose the shadowgate. Could the Netherese fend that off?

BTW, no spoilers from Water Sleeps or Soldiers Live. Thanks.

I guess that would mean notto mention who's back, IIRC, and STILL holding a grudge... (read only a couple chapters from Water Sleeps in a library)
