: We don't actually know that it was the Deceiver who

: From Stoneheim, the Dark forces could have been coming

: exclusively mindless undead, which suggests that the
: Watcher rather than the Deceiver was commanding them.
The allusion is clearly that it was the Deciever. He was trying to cross the mountains, and the knots were a means of outflanking the Legion forces holding the passes. True, it _could_ have been the Watcher, or Soulblighter, or the Faceless Man. But the Deceiver's the only one mentioned in the narrative at this point.
: I think the Dark just wasn't that *interested* in
: figuring them out. Sending small teams across the
: country into enemy territory is the Light's job; most
: Dark units aren't competent to fight except en masse,
: and World Knots don't transport them fast enough. A
: single Dwarf stationed at the exit knot could destroy
: an entire army of incoming Thrall.
Couldn't kill an incoming shade or Trow though ;) I know, they'd never waste such important units on risky missions like this etc. Perhaps playing too conservatively explains why the dark really lost the war?
