Dead. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM
Alive? Dead? What are your thoughts...

I personally believe that she survived by some weird circumstance. It seems that I had read somewhere that Brandon was supposed to answer the "who killed Asmodean" question in the final three books and seeing as how it was not answered in this one and if Graendal did kill Asmodean, who will reveal it later on. I doubt that she had cohorts in the Asmodean assassination, much less would speak about it in casual conversation with the other Chosen.

Just a couple of thoughts to chew on...

She was one of my favorite Forsaken so I wish she'd had a big moment for herself, but her death is a huge moment in Rand's character progression. So much of the weight of that scene is just gone (in my opinion) if she managed to wiggle out of it.

Graendal's fate? - 02/11/2009 04:18:11 AM 1949 Views
Dead. - 02/11/2009 04:22:48 AM 912 Views
Maybe... - 02/11/2009 04:28:16 AM 890 Views
I think it's fair to say at this point that Graendal did not kill Asmodean. - 02/11/2009 04:36:37 AM 927 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 808 Views
She is dead - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 757 Views
That's pretty terrible logic - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 935 Views
I disagree. - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 766 Views
Agreed. *NM* - 19/11/2009 11:43:45 AM 378 Views
Could it have been Verin who killed Asmodean? - 02/11/2009 05:20:37 AM 1331 Views
She is dead *spoilers* - 02/11/2009 05:44:21 AM 914 Views

Re: She is dead *spoilers* - 09/11/2009 01:38:56 AM 883 Views
I say dead. *NM* - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 421 Views
Dead. - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 763 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 853 Views
Right. That info could easily be revealed through the POV of another. *NM* - 02/11/2009 02:15:31 PM 377 Views
It could but... - 02/11/2009 03:14:23 PM 841 Views
Moridin would most likely know. - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 758 Views
Well.... - 02/11/2009 08:52:52 AM 815 Views
*NM* - 18/11/2009 10:45:52 PM 361 Views
Alive until proven otherwise IMO *spoilers* - 02/11/2009 03:47:51 PM 831 Views
That weave was very complex. - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 747 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 834 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 785 Views
Almost certainly dead - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 923 Views
Yeah. Compared to, say, Sammael's "death" - 02/11/2009 10:40:01 PM 835 Views
Not even almost. Graendal and Sammael now both go well with eggs. *NM* - 03/11/2009 01:51:15 AM 402 Views
Oh, I agree, but fiction, deus ex machina, etc - 04/11/2009 09:58:42 PM 762 Views
Graendal is dead. the evidence is pretty hard - 03/11/2009 08:00:27 PM 3102 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 761 Views
Alive. It's the simplest answer for me, especially considering that Rand knew she was more cunning - 04/11/2009 05:03:38 PM 946 Views
Re: Balefire. - 04/11/2009 05:30:12 PM 770 Views
Not necessarily. - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 738 Views
The thing is... - 04/11/2009 06:25:43 PM 809 Views
Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. - 04/11/2009 10:30:05 PM 1003 Views
Hm. Possible. - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 1053 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 771 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 707 Views
That's just absurd - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 847 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 782 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 799 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 836 Views
Yes, but Compulsion is almost never a maintained weave *NM* - 06/11/2009 07:19:24 PM 426 Views
But the real question in my mind... - 02/12/2009 08:28:31 PM 763 Views
Well - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1206 Views
Odds are she's dead - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM 651 Views
Re: No, I'm making it more simple. - 09/11/2009 01:53:49 AM 776 Views
Amen! Praise the Great Lord of the Dark! **I agree with all points** - 05/11/2009 07:21:52 AM 803 Views
This sounds familiar. - 09/11/2009 06:54:17 AM 716 Views
Yes... - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 712 Views
Yeah, I was shocked initially. - 18/11/2009 10:58:15 PM 780 Views

But Rand's was spread over a LARGE area *NM* - 27/11/2009 12:17:47 AM 334 Views
He was drawing through the Choedan Kal... *NM* - 27/11/2009 01:09:23 AM 325 Views
