The point is... Etzel Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM
If there is such a urgent need to reveal further informations on Graendal's plans and deeds, it makes more sense that it will be revealed in the PoV of another Forsaken or SH without jumping back in Graendal's timeline, which ended in TGS, and not bring back a dead character.

Personally, I think it's absolutely clear that Graendal died of course. BS simply doesn't admit it yet, to keep some people a bit guessing.


There is absolutely no reason to believe that just because Graendal likely died in Rands timeline that she won't appear in Perrin or Mat's timeline prior to her death.


There is absolutely no reason to believe that Graendal WILL appear, because as far as we know she was concentrated on Arad Doman and Rand to fulfill Moridin's orders. There is also absolutely no indication in Perrin's or Mat's timeline, which were advanced in TGS, that Graendal played any part there.

As often said, it never happened before that a character, who died in a specific timeline, suddenly appears again in the next book in another timeline before the death. It would likely confuse many readers and is not necessary (BS also told once on his homepage that he doesn't like such flashbacks). You can naturally better advance the plot/timeline and avoid any confusion, if you simply include e.g. an Aran'gar PoV, where she muses about Graendal, her death and how Aran'gar will go one now.

For these reasons it's highly unlikely that Graendal will have another PoV yet, if she died in TGS, like also Sammael, Osan'gar or any other character never got another PoV after their death to give certain informations.

how do you get there from this? - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1068 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1003 Views
Because... - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1027 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 974 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 876 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 994 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 973 Views
No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 868 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 842 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 807 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1011 Views
Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 773 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 935 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 865 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 894 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 800 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 799 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 853 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1012 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 785 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 908 Views
We will see... *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1099 Views

The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1012 Views

It's completely unlikely and unnecessary - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1007 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 896 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 995 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 820 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1031 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 894 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 857 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 976 Views
pure interpretation - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 904 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 980 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 398 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 714 Views

Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1018 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 895 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 903 Views
Ok... - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 817 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 888 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 924 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 888 Views
