I agree. *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM
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.

how do you get there from this? - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1046 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 979 Views
Because... - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1002 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 949 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 854 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 974 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 958 Views
No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 849 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 820 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 788 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 991 Views
Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 748 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 914 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 841 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 871 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 778 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 778 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 831 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 989 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 756 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 885 Views
We will see... *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1078 Views
Indeed - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 805 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 990 Views

It's completely unlikely and unnecessary - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 985 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 871 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 974 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 799 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1010 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 866 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 831 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 953 Views
pure interpretation - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 885 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 951 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 385 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 687 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 810 Views

Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 996 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 873 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 883 Views
Ok... - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 794 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 867 Views
I also just said that... - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 762 Views

I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 902 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 870 Views
Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base - 12/07/2010 07:36:49 PM 1023 Views
hrmm, not necessarily - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 819 Views
