Graendal already knew that Rand stays in Arad Doman. According to your view on Graendal, she already would have fled, when she learned that Rand is in Arad Doman. Graendal had to stay, though, to fulfill Moridin's orders. That the DR would eventually contact "Lady Basene", if he is in Arad Doman, must have been obvious to Graendal. Thus Rand's messenger certainly was in Graendal's view finally a nice opportunity to get a grip on Rand and accomplish her goal, not something that immediately scared Graendal so much that she left her Arad Doman, risking Moridin's anger.

Besides that, there is no obvious relevance for Graendal in the plot anymore. The other surviving Forsaken have at least logical confrontations open or are still a mystery, e.g. Moridin, Demandred and Cyndane with Rand, Moghedien with the Wondergirls, Aran'gar maybe with Perrin and of course Mesaana's & Demandred's identity. Graendal managed to create chaos in Arad Doman and Shara and the point of her death was to demonstrate that Rand has become more and more unhuman. She isn't needed anymore. It would be useless to still have Graendal around for the Last Battle in a new location, especially since she is a behind the scenes manipulator, not a general.

Graendal - maybe the deadliest Forsaken - 05/11/2009 07:00:12 AM 1789 Views
It has definitely been hinted - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 841 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 902 Views
I think she was - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 751 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 827 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 755 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 775 Views
I'm divided on it.. - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 695 Views
Here's the deal, though. Semirhage actions actually followed part of the theory to a tee. - 05/11/2009 07:21:21 PM 710 Views
Ah, anyway... - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 643 Views
I agree with you - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 731 Views
Exactly. - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 937 Views
I just don't understand the logic here - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 785 Views
It's quite simple logic. - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 800 Views
Then how did she do it? - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 684 Views

Re: Then how did she do it? - 06/11/2009 02:22:51 PM 695 Views
It is a possibility. - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 670 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 780 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 746 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 280 Views

She's definitely the deadiest - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 778 Views
I think she escaped, but it says something that he had to become worse than a Forsaken to do it - 05/11/2009 06:10:08 PM 687 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 610 Views
Thanks for reminding me. Oh well, then I'm stuck with the whole tearing apart the Pattern thing - 05/11/2009 06:44:35 PM 636 Views
Moiraine says. - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 661 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 671 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 758 Views
From what I keep hearing - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 697 Views
I could well believe it - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 604 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 569 Views
I conceed to Rand's point - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 758 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 606 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 741 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 707 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 734 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 560 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 557 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 577 Views
meh - 19/12/2009 11:56:12 PM 583 Views
