Her interrogation of Cabriana was almost aborted when she accidentally killed Cabriana’s Warder while unnecessarily torturing him to satisfy her lust for cruelty. She is too caught up in her perversions and lusts for complex planning, too one-track minded to consider the need for alternatives. The World of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time confirms that Semirhage is no great strategist, and was no great shakes as a general in the War of Power either. From her description, tcheran has similarities with another great game of strategy and war, chess. Semirhage doesn’t tell us much, but then she says she’s an indifferent player. More board games will be referred to in later books and in The Path of Daggers the gamemaster Moridin will reveal that he develops his schemes not on the drawing board, but the game board.īut back to Lord of Chaos, and the Age-old game of tcheran.

Lord of Chaos introduces us to more lost knowledge from the Age of Legends.
