Re: Probably Slayer Syraelle Send a noteboard - 21/09/2010 04:39:36 PM
Agreed, though it could also be whoever sent the visions to Masema too....

The whole episode toward the end had the nightmarish quality of someone manipulating the dream, but I would think that were it either Slayer or a Forsaken that they'd not be toying with Perrin any more because of Moridin's orders and rather just kill him and put him (and the rest of us) out of his wishy-washy vacillating misery....

PS--doesn't it feel good re: Graendal? Made my day.

Graendal's seemed much weaker... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:20 PM 1936 Views
Elayne also called the x2 turtle angreal "weak"... Shannow - 21/09/2010 08:00:01 PM 1977 Views
and we know it wasn't enough to overwhlem Verin's circle darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 08:02:13 PM 1829 Views
I disasgree. There is no evidence that Aran'gar was holding saidin at the time darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:42:23 PM 1929 Views
Then why did she gasp at the shield? She couldn't have known what Graendal was weaving. fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:49 PM 1937 Views
because she was surprised that Graendal would put a shield on her in the first place darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:58:45 PM 1967 Views
How did she know there was a shield? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:16:59 PM 1927 Views
Fact: Graendal cannot shield a male Forsaken and an Aes Sedai if they are holding the Source... Shannow - 21/09/2010 09:28:17 PM 1904 Views
Who said "they"? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:55:28 PM 1882 Views
Depends on the level of surprise, I guess. If he was only holding a trickle of saidin, then maybe Shannow - 21/09/2010 10:05:37 PM 1958 Views
I don't think strength is the only determinant... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:24:24 PM 1900 Views
I really don't think you have to be holding the source to know you've been shielded Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:29:20 PM 1845 Views
Provide evidence? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:36:36 PM 1915 Views
Thanks, but like I said, they were both wrapped in air. That's enough for Aran'gar to wonder Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:44:17 PM 1831 Views

Siuan was distracted by a number of other things going on, not to mention how suspect darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 02:43:36 PM 1797 Views
And Aran'gar was fully focussed on Graendal? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:02:16 PM 2042 Views
More so than Siuan was on Elaida when they were shielded. darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 03:33:15 PM 2841 Views
