She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM
With Aran'gar or Moridin's pets, besides being informed about what they are doing at the moment (Graendal doesn't even know in TGS that Aran'gar already left the Rebels for several days; it's possible that Aran'gar got another secret task by SH).

And as said, even if Graendal were, that doesn't mean that she would likely appear again in ToM. It was often the case in the books that a Forsaken had several potential plots or confrontations in the future, but due to the sudden death of this Forsaken those things became void.


She's been seen in any number of instances where she has no direct involvement! She's been directly involved with every other Forsaken... she knows most of their plans and could easily make a quick appearance in any number of plot lines without it being difficult. Hell there could be another FS meeting that takes place before her death just as easily as anything.

You are correct that there may be no reason for her to appear, that is certainly a possibility, but it's also possible that the actual Author disagrees and has reasons to keep her final death mysterious for now ... which IMO means she has a role yet to fulfill (that could have happened prior to her death), or we'd have gotten a "she's toast".
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1184 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1035 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 967 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 992 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 939 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 840 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 964 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 946 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 892 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 915 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 837 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 810 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 775 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 977 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 738 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 903 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 824 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 859 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 767 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 767 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 821 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 978 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 742 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 875 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1065 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 792 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 977 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 859 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1038 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 905 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 973 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 860 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 964 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 787 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 997 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 853 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 816 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 939 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 875 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 939 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 379 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 672 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 799 Views
Re: Exchanging info is not doing nothing Etzel - 15/07/2010 10:08:44 PM 844 Views
Re: Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 16/07/2010 05:30:25 AM 800 Views
IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 745 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 866 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 890 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 936 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1010 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 985 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 863 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 866 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 783 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 858 Views
I also just said that... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 749 Views

Re: I think Datakim - 16/07/2010 04:37:20 PM 915 Views
Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 836 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 948 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 909 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 966 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 891 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 858 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 1009 Views
hrmm, not necessarily Kieran - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 809 Views
I agree. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM 414 Views
Uh... TaskmasterJack - 12/07/2010 10:10:08 PM 931 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 795 Views
