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 856 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 899 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 775 Views
She is dead dacole - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 727 Views
That's pretty terrible logic beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 890 Views
I disagree. Rand al'Thor - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 729 Views
Agreed. *NM* Lord Haart - 19/11/2009 11:43:45 AM 353 Views
Could it have been Verin who killed Asmodean? Bookwyrm - 02/11/2009 05:20:37 AM 1298 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 820 Views
I say dead. *NM* Gher - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 399 Views
Dead. Seriana Sedai - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 726 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? Master Radishes - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 815 Views
Right. That info could easily be revealed through the POV of another. *NM* RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 02:15:31 PM 362 Views
It could but... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 03:14:23 PM 812 Views
Moridin would most likely know. RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 725 Views

Alive until proven otherwise IMO *spoilers* Dragonsworn - 02/11/2009 03:47:51 PM 801 Views
That weave was very complex. Kronin al'Sulc - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 720 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 802 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 745 Views
Almost certainly dead Isaac - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 895 Views
Yeah. Compared to, say, Sammael's "death" beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 10:40:01 PM 802 Views
Not even almost. Graendal and Sammael now both go well with eggs. *NM* Marshall - 03/11/2009 01:51:15 AM 384 Views
Oh, I agree, but fiction, deus ex machina, etc Isaac - 04/11/2009 09:58:42 PM 733 Views
Graendal is dead. the evidence is pretty hard NaClH2O - 03/11/2009 08:00:27 PM 3067 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, Fred Gaidin - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 726 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 904 Views
Re: Balefire. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 05:30:12 PM 733 Views
Not necessarily. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 704 Views
The thing is... Etzel - 04/11/2009 06:25:43 PM 778 Views
Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:30:05 PM 958 Views
Re: Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:48:30 AM 900 Views
Hm. Possible. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 1022 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 734 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 664 Views
That's just absurd Marshall - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 818 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 750 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 770 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 789 Views
Yes, but Compulsion is almost never a maintained weave *NM* Marshall - 06/11/2009 07:19:24 PM 410 Views
But the real question in my mind... darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 08:28:31 PM 731 Views
Well Marshall - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1173 Views
Odds are she's dead darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM 616 Views

Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 682 Views
Yeah, I was shocked initially. BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:58:15 PM 748 Views
