Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base

Brandon's first response to the question about new threads/plots was that these last 3 novels were to be about closing up the loopholes and so new new threads. But then Brandon said "Mostly."
I wonder what new plotline Brandon had in mind when he changed his answer to "mostly."
While still a possibility, it is highly unlikely that we see an army of channelers attacking at Demandred's command from the Aisle of Madmen because this would be starting a new plot/thread.
On the other hand, we've seen several references to the Sharans, including the scene in KoD with the silk worm traders and including all of Noal's tellings. Not to mention Graendal and Sammael's interactions much earlier in the series. I wouldn't rule out the Sharans playing a role in the next book or two.

Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved

Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM*

Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation.

There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines...

I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear.

There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos!

Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM*

No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM*

On a somewhat related note, Sanderson says ToM consists of 80 chapters as of now. Ginormous!
