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 1841 Views
Dead. - 02/11/2009 04:22:48 AM 867 Views
Maybe... - 02/11/2009 04:28:16 AM 839 Views
I think it's fair to say at this point that Graendal did not kill Asmodean. - 02/11/2009 04:36:37 AM 881 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 762 Views
She is dead - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 712 Views
That's pretty terrible logic - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 849 Views
I disagree. - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 711 Views
Agreed. *NM* - 19/11/2009 11:43:45 AM 345 Views
Could it have been Verin who killed Asmodean? - 02/11/2009 05:20:37 AM 1282 Views
She is dead *spoilers* - 02/11/2009 05:44:21 AM 864 Views

Re: She is dead *spoilers* - 09/11/2009 01:38:56 AM 839 Views
I say dead. *NM* - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 391 Views
Dead. - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 712 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 798 Views
Right. That info could easily be revealed through the POV of another. *NM* - 02/11/2009 02:15:31 PM 353 Views
It could but... - 02/11/2009 03:14:23 PM 797 Views
Moridin would most likely know. - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 707 Views
Well.... - 02/11/2009 08:52:52 AM 767 Views
*NM* - 18/11/2009 10:45:52 PM 338 Views
Alive until proven otherwise IMO *spoilers* - 02/11/2009 03:47:51 PM 786 Views
That weave was very complex. - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 702 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 786 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 727 Views
Almost certainly dead - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 878 Views
Yeah. Compared to, say, Sammael's "death" - 02/11/2009 10:40:01 PM 785 Views
Not even almost. Graendal and Sammael now both go well with eggs. *NM* - 03/11/2009 01:51:15 AM 375 Views
Oh, I agree, but fiction, deus ex machina, etc - 04/11/2009 09:58:42 PM 719 Views
Graendal is dead. the evidence is pretty hard - 03/11/2009 08:00:27 PM 3048 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 713 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 881 Views
Re: Balefire. - 04/11/2009 05:30:12 PM 718 Views
Not necessarily. - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 688 Views
The thing is... - 04/11/2009 06:25:43 PM 765 Views
Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. - 04/11/2009 10:30:05 PM 941 Views
Hm. Possible. - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 1006 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 718 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 651 Views
That's just absurd - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 800 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 736 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 755 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 775 Views
Yes, but Compulsion is almost never a maintained weave *NM* - 06/11/2009 07:19:24 PM 401 Views
But the real question in my mind... - 02/12/2009 08:28:31 PM 715 Views
Well - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1160 Views
Odds are she's dead - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM 596 Views
Re: No, I'm making it more simple. - 09/11/2009 01:53:49 AM 728 Views
Amen! Praise the Great Lord of the Dark! **I agree with all points** - 05/11/2009 07:21:52 AM 759 Views
This sounds familiar. - 09/11/2009 06:54:17 AM 666 Views
Yes... - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 667 Views
Yeah, I was shocked initially. - 18/11/2009 10:58:15 PM 733 Views

But Rand's was spread over a LARGE area *NM* - 27/11/2009 12:17:47 AM 306 Views
He was drawing through the Choedan Kal... *NM* - 27/11/2009 01:09:23 AM 298 Views
