Most powerful raver

Post by Isildurs Bane »

Hey fellow fans, do any of you reckon there is a Raver hierarchy and if so which Raver is the most powerful? I'm new to the watch so u'l haf to forgive me if i've put this in the wrong forum.

P.S. My money is on Herem

Each of the 3 is capable of equally insideous & cunning power. Understanding that they are bound in service by Foul, I would opine that the question is moot (power). Cruelty may be a trait easier to judge?

Herem get my vote there!

We had a great thread about this before, but I can't find it....

I always thought samadhi Sheol was probably the greatest....at least he seemed to always get the assignments requiring the most trust from LF, and usually wielding the most power. For example, he controlled the king of Doriendor Corishev, he led the largest army Foul ever created in TPTP, and he controlled the Clave, and therefore the Banefire.

Others have argued that turiya Herem must've been the greatest, because he was chosen to massacre the Giants.

Yeah, I suppose what you are saying about Sheol is quite true. As long as noone thinks that Jehannum is the greatest. I really didnt have much respect for that particular Raver

I always took them to be equal, as triplets.

Not so. Even siblings as close as twins and triplets have a definative hierarchy. I'm finding the idea of the triplet ravers very amuzing. I can just see them all dressed in those knee-high shorts and a cap for their first day of Raver school. Each with identicle lunch boxes, the way some mothers have an odd tendency of dressing multiple birth children exactly the same. LOL

Merely congratulating you on the succesful use of humour, I'm sure. :P

~-Hierachy-~ The most powerful raver I've seen was in a club in London... he was pretty big and everyone kept out of his way.

I think they all have equal powers... Though maybe we´ll find out more in the Last Chronicles. :)

Hopefully, as i've always found these creatures facinating. Them and the sandgorgons of course.

I think it would be a safe bet that the Ravers are equal in actual power. However, LF seems to play them off each other - i.e giving samadhi an important job here and having turiya kill the Giants, etc. He does this in an effort to keep them occupied with each other rather than try to undermine his authority. I suppose this has worked to an extent over the years. :) For the most part they vie (sp?) for his attention, yet sometimes they have tried to seize power, IIRC.

Satansfist calls himself the right -hand to the Despiser in The Power That Preserves, so I always thought it was him. of course it could just be sheer arogance. :D

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

"Slagging off" is Brit slang for insulting/criticising
