[QUOTE="Enforcer, post: 102026, member: 396"] I don't think anyone has mentioned Genghis Khan, or that Japanese samurai who wrote the Legend of the Five Rings (can't remember his name... something that starts with M). [Wheel of Time fanaticism] Lews Therin Telamon--The Dragon, Lord of the Morning, First among Servants, Leader of the Hundred Companions, Wearer of the Tamyrlin Ring, and Summoner of the Nine Rods of Dominion... Ishamael--other Forsaken are afraid of him/Moridin, plus how many villains' names mean "Betrayer of Hope?" Ouch, he must be bad. Jearom--the guy that even Warders hold as the greatest swordsman of all time, even though a farmer with a quarterstaff kicked his butt. Artur Hawkwing--Hi, I consolidated a continent under my rule, what did you do? Birgitte, Gaidal Cain, and the rest of the crazies tied to the Horn of Valere. Rand is getting there...cleansing Saidin was a good start (yes, I know he had help), and so is ruling the eastern part of the Westlands. He'll be epic once it starts taking a full circle of 13 to shield him (as I hope it will). Lan--it seems he's the best living warrior at the time of the books, and maybe just because I'm currently re-reading the series, and just passed the part in Crown of Swords where he does his forms as Egwene talks to Myrelle. He cuts two flying grasshoppers in half with the same sword swing! Gah! Besides, he taught Rand the sword, and Rand is a raging engine of death with a blade... Of course, some may argue that ta'veren don't count. (shrugs) [/Wheel of Time fanaticism] [/QUOTE]
