Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM
Apparently they indeed just met once very few weeks or so in TAR. Probably they also had an agreement not to attack each other (though we know that Aran'gar eventually planned for Graendal's death). In any case, since both had obviously more urgent things on their minds in the last weeks (namely Graendal Rand & Arad Doman; Aran'gar likely a new task by SH) nothing indicates that they created an elaborate plan to kill Demandred & Co. or something else, especially since it is clear that they don't trust each other that well. Likely only Aran'gar will now profit by taking over Graendal's network; on the other hand she is without an ally again, which might force Aran'gar to act sooner against Rand or the fellow Forsaken.


Graendal is supposed to be smart and crafty. This is neither on her part.

This... - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1359 Views
how do you get there from this? - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1195 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1135 Views
Because... - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1178 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1123 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 1034 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1136 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1108 Views
No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 1018 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 977 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 943 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1163 Views
Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 904 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 1062 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 1011 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 1064 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 972 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 974 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 1051 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1177 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 941 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 1040 Views
We will see... *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1239 Views
Indeed - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 954 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1152 Views

It's completely unlikely and unnecessary - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1149 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 1032 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1133 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 969 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1168 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 1047 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 1028 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1131 Views

Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 1114 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 465 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 855 Views

you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 1089 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 1114 Views
not really - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1192 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1183 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 1022 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 1074 Views
Ok... - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 939 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 1015 Views
I also just said that... - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 919 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 1052 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 1006 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 1210 Views
hrmm, not necessarily - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 982 Views
I agree. *NM* - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM 489 Views
