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.

Maybe... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 04:28:16 AM 1048 Views
I think it's fair to say at this point that Graendal did not kill Asmodean. LlordNakcor - 02/11/2009 04:36:37 AM 1086 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 965 Views
She is dead dacole - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 908 Views
That's pretty terrible logic beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 1097 Views
I disagree. Rand al'Thor - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 922 Views
Agreed. *NM* Lord Haart - 19/11/2009 11:43:45 AM 473 Views
Could it have been Verin who killed Asmodean? Bookwyrm - 02/11/2009 05:20:37 AM 1475 Views

I thought so too, but KCF set me straight.. his response in a thread further down the board kavorka - 02/11/2009 05:56:40 PM 998 Views
I say dead. *NM* Gher - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 484 Views
Dead. Seriana Sedai - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 940 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? Master Radishes - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 1000 Views
Right. That info could easily be revealed through the POV of another. *NM* RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 02:15:31 PM 453 Views
It could but... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 03:14:23 PM 1001 Views
Moridin would most likely know. RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 915 Views

Alive until proven otherwise IMO *spoilers* Dragonsworn - 02/11/2009 03:47:51 PM 977 Views
That weave was very complex. Kronin al'Sulc - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 895 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 967 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 920 Views
Almost certainly dead Isaac - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 1086 Views
Yeah. Compared to, say, Sammael's "death" beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 10:40:01 PM 1002 Views
Not even almost. Graendal and Sammael now both go well with eggs. *NM* Marshall - 03/11/2009 01:51:15 AM 468 Views
Oh, I agree, but fiction, deus ex machina, etc Isaac - 04/11/2009 09:58:42 PM 910 Views
Graendal is dead. the evidence is pretty hard NaClH2O - 03/11/2009 08:00:27 PM 3239 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, Fred Gaidin - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 898 Views
Alive. It's the simplest answer for me, especially considering that Rand knew she was more cunning RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:03:38 PM 1101 Views
Re: Balefire. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 05:30:12 PM 928 Views
Not necessarily. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 889 Views
The thing is... Etzel - 04/11/2009 06:25:43 PM 972 Views
Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:30:05 PM 1154 Views
Re: Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:48:30 AM 1109 Views
Hm. Possible. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 1199 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 915 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 867 Views
That's just absurd Marshall - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 999 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 943 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 944 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 1005 Views
Yes, but Compulsion is almost never a maintained weave *NM* Marshall - 06/11/2009 07:19:24 PM 490 Views
But the real question in my mind... darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 08:28:31 PM 916 Views
Well Marshall - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1352 Views
Odds are she's dead darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM 805 Views
Re: No, I'm making it more simple. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:53:49 AM 912 Views

Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 892 Views
Yeah, I was shocked initially. BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:58:15 PM 935 Views
