BS wanted to put her behind a "complicated" plot Marshall Send a noteboard - 25/11/2010 04:11:01 PM

IMO, Brandon realized we hadn't had much Graendal time, that she'd been talked up to no end, and he wanted to demonstrate that she was the conniving, manipulative mastermind that we all have heard she was.

And of course, as it has been with every Forsaken, it was a giant letdown.

I'd say that DomA is one of the most thoughtful posters here. He researches his comments and gives - 25/11/2010 06:47:58 PM 879 Views

That doesn't mean he has any actual evidence as to BS tampering with RJ's notes - 26/11/2010 01:33:08 AM 789 Views

I was under the impression other Forsaken had access as well, something pointed out by their POVs .. - 27/11/2010 09:09:17 AM 694 Views
No, only Moridin - 27/11/2010 06:43:17 PM 681 Views
