The Real Red Herring Mat_Cauthon33 Send a noteboard - 07/10/2009 09:28:01 PM
"Taim's character also doesn't fit Be'lal's, e.g. Taim doesn't like swords.

I've always thought that was a red herring; after Be'lals remark to Rand about how "they" turned a game of swords into combat it would be pretty stupid to immediately appear a master swordsman as well as master channeler. In fact, if he used the sword much around Rand he'd HAVE to deliberately alter his style to avoid outing himself if he's Be'lal."

Wouldnt suddently introducing Taim as Be'lal after several books of giving proof he is dead be more of a red herring than Taim not wanting to use a sword in case Rand figures out he is Be'lal?

RJ actually indicated... Etzel - 10/10/2009 10:51:23 AM 829 Views
I don't think he'd have considered it at all without this aspect. Joel - 12/10/2009 12:45:26 AM 799 Views
Nope... Etzel - 07/10/2009 04:09:52 PM 839 Views
Good points, but still not convinced. Joel - 07/10/2009 04:19:42 PM 843 Views

Except for mentions of the fellow pretending to be Sammael. Joel - 07/10/2009 04:56:11 PM 1105 Views

Honestly, I do think Graendal was posing as Sammael, but we can't know for sure. Joel - 12/10/2009 12:58:58 AM 979 Views

No, Taims disdain for swords is a red herring for RAND. Joel - 12/10/2009 01:02:30 AM 875 Views
