Why having other Forsaken at all? Slayer and Moridin should've been enough. *NM* Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 11/11/2010 11:33:04 PM
Graendal's, I mean.

There is nothing about her plans involving Perrin that couldn't have been performed by Slayer alone. Really, the entirety of Graendal's plan was "ambush Perrin with a lot of Shadowspawn". I kid you not. The Dreamspike was not part of her original plan, that was provided to her by Moridin to help her succeed. As was Slayer. And the Children of the Light were not part of her plans either, their presence actually interfered and kept Perrin back for a long time, during which Graendal was unable to pull out her ambush.

Not saying that it wasn't a good ambush attempt, but it doesn't really fit with Graendal's established style. And why would she think this plan would work, when Perrin has access to Travelling?

The real problem is that it doesn't require Graendal's presence in any way. We've seen Slayer command Shadowspawn before. Slayer could have gone under Moridin's direct orders, he could have used the Dreamspike, he could have planned the ambush. Where was Graendal's scheming and manipulation? We don't get any evidence that she even tried to influence the proceedings between Perrin and the Children of the Light.

I just don't see why she was involved in that plot.

It allowed an idiotic plot twist. - 11/11/2010 12:17:24 PM 1235 Views
I don't understand protests like this - 11/11/2010 05:33:12 PM 800 Views
Because we are told that this was her plot, but we are never shown. - 11/11/2010 07:09:48 PM 885 Views
She knew success was critical yet didn't step in at all? - 11/11/2010 10:40:26 PM 761 Views
She didn't even send in her channeler. - 12/11/2010 02:35:02 AM 727 Views
Yeah, but her plan was so lame it kinda ruined her character - 13/11/2010 08:26:34 PM 689 Views

She might be the Tower that crumbles and regrows - 12/11/2010 03:48:13 AM 712 Views
That pretty much assuredly refers to Moridin. - 12/11/2010 03:55:48 AM 689 Views
Aren't dreams about the future? Moridin's death and rise have already happened. *NM* - 12/11/2010 04:10:34 AM 365 Views

Sadly, I agree with you. - 16/11/2010 06:09:49 AM 793 Views
