So, do darkfriends have any special powers? No spoilers please, if possible.

 

[Spoooon]

No powers.

So, if a Darkfriend was posting here, we would really not have any way of knowing?

Darkfriends are human followers of darkness. Fades are pale-faced eyeless beasts with swords.

Myrddraal are an offshoot of making trollocs. I wont explain who made trollocs, etc, but the myrddraal weren't an expected creation.


Darkfriends have no powers. They are simply people who have sworn allegiance to the Dark One. Though later it does appear that they may get "cool" weapons or something because of that.


Myrddraal have great reflexes, and evil weapons forged on the slopes of the pit of doom. They can also supposedly walk through walls, and vanish by turning.

Trollocs have the black weapons too. But they're nowhere as skilled at swordplay as Faceless Ones.

SO, if you run into a Darkfriend, you might be able to whip up on him, but if you run into a Myrddral, you are severely over powered?

Darkfriends are "average Joes" who have sworn to serve the Dark One. Anyone can be a Darkfriend, basically.

Myrddraal are Shadowspawn, throwbacks to the human stock used to create the Trollocs. They can apparently teleport to anywhere that has shadows and cause paralyzing fear with a look, although they don't have eyes. They're much better at swordplay than Trollocs and often are found leading groups of Trollocs.

Depending on the Darkfriend, I guess you could be in for a fight.

Myrddraal are definitely not something you want to mess with unless you're a strong Aes Sedai or a good swordsman like Lan.
