Got to agree with Etzel here. Mik Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 10:09:21 PM

- Aran'gar was discovered by Egwene and friends and had to flee. She was homeless.

- Aran'gar were seen making an alliance with Graendal.

- Aran'gar is residing with her ally while she seeks a new base of power.

Now please do tell... how is this 'incredible'? It's so obvious it hits you like a brick in the head.
Ehmmm.

It's so Out Of Character for a greedy, non-trusting, self-centered, back-stabbing "Chosen" -who survived years of wicked infighting by excelling at the aforementioned traits- it's beyond me you're even taking those points you mentioned serious.

It's been pressed time and time again ever since when we first saw any Forsaken meeting in TSR untill as late as KoD -in TAR or in the waking world-, that they don't trust eachother for even an inch.
As soon as one shows weakness, the others get ready (or think to themselves) they'd strike out or betray the others. Not even once have we seen kindness or mercy.

Aran'gar was a homeless/ baseless/ useless Chosen, that failed the Great Lord of the Dark. She was ripe for the slaughter/ betrayal or at the very least ripe for abandonment.

The Graendal we know from TFoH through TGS -in third person or her own PoV- would never, even for a second show kindness of any kind.

I think it's really odd.
Etzel has a point.

But how does it make sense... Etzel - 23/09/2010 07:25:22 PM 1021 Views
And don't forget Graendal's belief that Rand would need to see saidin-woven Compulsion disappear in newyorkersedai - 23/09/2010 07:56:41 PM 1030 Views

I agree, it was totally obvious *NM* Rurouni_Kenshin - 24/09/2010 07:10:47 AM 381 Views
Well... Etzel - 25/09/2010 09:36:08 AM 894 Views
Well, Graendal does say that Aran'gar was still paying for her failure with Egwene darius_sedai - 25/09/2010 05:56:01 PM 1018 Views
Thusly... fionwe1987 - 24/09/2010 01:13:49 AM 1017 Views
It's one thing to have an alliance with occasional meetings... Etzel - 25/09/2010 09:40:26 AM 947 Views
What a well reasoned rebuttal! fionwe1987 - 25/09/2010 02:57:39 PM 905 Views
No, I object because the whole scene was written in an utterly silly way, as I explained... Etzel - 25/09/2010 03:06:37 PM 1366 Views
You didn't explain... fionwe1987 - 25/09/2010 03:11:10 PM 881 Views
You should re-read all my posts in this thread. *NM* Etzel - 25/09/2010 03:17:50 PM 976 Views
Though on second thought, I have to correct myself... Etzel - 25/09/2010 04:55:25 PM 1027 Views
