Re: As you said... DomA Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 08:32:12 PM
I seriously doubt that we will see Graendal again in the series (Rand's plotline was sufficiently advanced in TGS), or that the new association between Aran'gar & Graendal will play an important plot role (except that Aran'gar might take over Graendal's network now and maybe needs to find a new ally).


To take over Graendal's network, Aran'gar needed this alliance with Graendal to find out how to gain her network. Again, this suggests one Graendal/Aran'gar scene to set this up.

You really tend to overlook the fact that for everyone not in Rand\Egwene's storyline, there's a good chance we're going back to a short while after KOD ended.


Especially the talk between Aran'gar and Mesaana in KoD made IMO pretty clear that of course Aran'gar was behind the murder of Anaiya & Kairen to create more dissension.


I don't see the logic there. Aran'gar could have killed anyone to sow more dissension... it was utterly stupid to kill just Kairen and Anayia, the two women tied to Cabriana. Even if she had a reason to get them out of the way beside creating dissension and fear of the Asha'man alliance, she would not have been so stupid as to kill these two only. It even looks like Lelaine and the Blue had made the connection before Romanda did, but didn't know what to make of it.

In any case, if Aran'gar killed these two and left traces as she did (unlike what's she's done with the maids), it was obviously to make the Asha'man alliance derail, and if so that leaves us with the big question of which Forsaken ordered Moria, a BA, to come up with this plan in the first place. Who can it be but Mesaana, really?

Who screamed at Aran'gar she must sow more dissension among the rebels if not Mesaana herself anyway. You also overlook the fact this is the first time Mesaana revealed openly she was tied to the Aes Sedai. Aran'gar didn't miss that, and thought immediately how wonderful it would be to find an oppportunity to split the trio.

I also don't buy that Graendal would know, who Mesaana is


She says herself she knows her disguise in the Tower in TGS...

Now, ask yourself why Jordan put that in the prologue...

Aran'gar certainly isn't Taim Etzel - 10/06/2010 02:15:40 PM 218 Views
It's not my theory... I do think it would be hilarious though darius_sedai - 10/06/2010 02:44:57 PM 237 Views

I still think yet another clue speaks loudly that Taim is a real Forsaken newyorkersedai - 10/06/2010 04:04:06 PM 210 Views

Mesaana's more likely. There just isn't enough time for it to be the Seanchan, imo *NM* Deadsy - 08/06/2010 08:31:07 PM 106 Views
On the other hand, we know that Egwene has to meet Seanchan yet. *NM* Etzel - 09/06/2010 10:51:37 AM 105 Views
In book time, she'll probably be seeing Seta (and possibly Egeanin) in a couple hours Deadsy - 09/06/2010 11:09:08 AM 234 Views
