the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM
Such a scene would precisely be a flashback in Rand's plot-/ timeline, especially if we would get the PoV from Graendal just before Rand's balefire hit her palace. It's clear from his answers, that BS won't jump back in Rand's plotline.


a better candidate as Asmodean's killer. Which it does not. There are plenty of ways to reveal Graendal as the culprit even if she is dead AND there are NO flashbacks.

There are dozens of ways to incorporate a Graendal scene from another POV that is NOT in Rand's plot line. Aran'gar could be near Elayne, Mat or Perrin and have such a flashback. Mesaana could have a chat with Demandred. Moridin could inform Cyndane and/or Moghedien of Graendal's death (or escape if that's how it plays out), there could even be another Social prior to Rand Balefiring NB.

Just because BSand said there won't be as much flashback as book 10 doesn't mean Graendal won't appear, you can't even claim she's even part of Rand's plot line! For most of the series she's not been involved directly in any of the main cast's plot lines.

He's been vague on her death since the beginning and has even alluded to her possibly being alive, which could mean she has a live appearance after the events at NB.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1221 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1068 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1003 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1029 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 975 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 878 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 996 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 975 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 940 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 948 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 869 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 844 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 807 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1013 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 774 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 935 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 866 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 894 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 802 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 800 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 854 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1013 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 786 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 909 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1100 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 827 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1013 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 902 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1074 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 942 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1008 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 897 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 997 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 821 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1033 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 896 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 857 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 977 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 906 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 981 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 398 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 715 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 834 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 794 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 904 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 926 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 968 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1044 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1019 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 895 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 905 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 817 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 890 Views
I also just said that... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 786 Views

Re: I think Datakim - 16/07/2010 04:37:20 PM 946 Views
Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 874 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 987 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 946 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 999 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 924 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 888 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 1051 Views
hrmm, not necessarily Kieran - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 843 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 828 Views
