This... Etzel Send a noteboard - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM
***Brandon*** Re: Will we see Rand in the next book? YES. The book will not be a 100% flash-back like Bk 10. There will be a little bit of catch-up for Perrin, but Egwene and Rand both have large parts too.

***Brandon*** Thing is, Elayne was way ahead of everyone else in her plotline. (Meaning what she needed to get done.) And so, with great regret, I moved her to TofM.

***Brandon*** Re: Is Rand up to date with Elayne. To be honest, Luckers, I'd have to go look at my timeline. I'm pretty sure Rand was at June (our world months) at the end of TGS. Perrin ended at beginning of April. Elayne...grrr Can't remember. But Rand/Egwene are in sync with one another as of the end of that book. I think Elayne is just a tad behind.


Makes it yet less likely that there will be an on-screen Graendal flashback, possibly meeting Aran'gar, from before Graendal's death (as some believe might happen, because it would be "cool", and otherwise Graendal couldn't reveal in her PoV that she killed Asmo, since RJ wanted to reveal it in the killer's PoV...).

Graendal was a part of Rand's plot- and timeline, which is basically up to date; the same applies to Aran'gar in Egwene's plotline, which was also sufficiently advanced in TGS. No reason to suddenly jump back in the respective timelines regarding these two Forsaken (though Aran'gar might think in her next PoV about a last meeting with Graendal).

how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1230 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1163 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1204 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1147 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 1058 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1170 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1128 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 1107 Views
Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM 1132 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 1042 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 999 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* Etzel - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 975 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1191 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 933 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 1090 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 1042 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 1098 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 999 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 1005 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 1082 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1199 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 965 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 1064 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1268 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 981 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1192 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 1065 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1258 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 1106 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1171 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 1055 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1160 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 997 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1199 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 1069 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 1053 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1159 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 1057 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 1141 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 476 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 877 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 1026 Views

Re: Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 16/07/2010 05:30:25 AM 997 Views
IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 975 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 1080 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 1146 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 1140 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1217 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1211 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 1047 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 1110 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 971 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 1043 Views
I also just said that... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 945 Views

Re: I think Datakim - 16/07/2010 04:37:20 PM 1108 Views
Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 1016 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 1172 Views
I admit the possibility, but consider it highly unlikely for the reasons I pointed out. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:58:01 PM 1115 Views

Rand used so much baelfire on her that he zapped them all back to the last 3rd Age darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:38:48 PM 1170 Views
I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* RandAllThor - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 1087 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 1040 Views
Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base Logain - 12/07/2010 07:36:49 PM 1237 Views
hrmm, not necessarily Kieran - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 1018 Views
I agree. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM 502 Views
Uh... TaskmasterJack - 12/07/2010 10:10:08 PM 1118 Views

On a somewhat related note, Sanderson says ToM consists of 80 chapters as of now. Ginormous! RandAllThor - 13/07/2010 01:54:15 AM 983 Views
Perrin catch-up? Comet Sedai - 13/07/2010 02:55:22 AM 961 Views
