I often explained it, because many don't seem to get it Etzel Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 12:17:21 PM
Because it obviously would have a more powerful impact. If Graendal was the killer, BS just had the chance to reveal it in her PoV in TGS, prologue. Why then, should he skip this opportunity to let it e.g. Moridin tell someone else that Graendal did it? Makes no sense.

And if SLAYER were the killer (note that "were", not "was" is the correct subjunctive form here), why wouldn't he be more proud about that accomplishment than killing a couple of stupid Black Ajah Aes Sedai when it was HIS PoV??? It's funny how you use one argument to disregard one person while ignoring that same argument to favor another.


Isam & Luc obviously hate Aes Sedai for very personal reasons (in short: Isam is Malkieri, Luc was manipulated by AS). Therefore Slayer likes to kill AS best, of course especially in such a bloody way like it was possible in TSR. On the other hand, nothing suggests that Slayer hated Asmo that much, who was after all a former possible patron. It's rather ridiculous to believe that Slayer prefers to kill "more powerful people", as you seem to believe, since he also considers in his PoV that it's just "a pity" that he won't soon get another chance to kill the most powerful person in the world, Rand (and he still thinks about those AS as his best kill, while he is on his way to kill the DR, whom he just calls his nephew!).

Since BS said that Slayer will be in ToM and possibly in AMoL, he can still reveal it in his PoV.

Another blow to the Graendaldunnit-theory Etzel - 14/11/2009 10:41:32 AM 1482 Views
I don't see any reason the Graendal theory is wrong from that. Tom - 14/11/2009 02:53:25 PM 900 Views
He has stated that they will put the mystery to rest in the final books... ursidae - 14/11/2009 04:02:53 PM 1045 Views
I actually figured a way that this could come up quite naturally without Graendal Jim - 14/11/2009 04:11:24 PM 1000 Views
RJ said it will probably revealed in the killer's PoV Etzel - 14/11/2009 04:46:20 PM 846 Views
And Brandon said Harriet gave him the freedom to tell the story as he wishes. TaskmasterJack - 14/11/2009 06:05:40 PM 800 Views
We (you, me & RJ) agree that it would be best to reveal it in the killer's PoV Etzel - 14/11/2009 06:40:33 PM 837 Views
Wait...wait...this is funny. Tom - 20/11/2009 02:05:26 AM 715 Views

So maybe Graendal didn't care enough about Asmodean, either. Tom - 20/11/2009 02:07:02 PM 732 Views
Neither Graendal nor Slayer mention killing Asmo... Etzel - 20/11/2009 02:46:40 PM 863 Views
I'm sure you can see... Legolas - 20/11/2009 03:25:41 PM 878 Views
Well... Etzel - 20/11/2009 05:23:28 PM 723 Views
It seems you think I don't read any posts and you certainly haven't read this board much. Tom - 14/11/2009 04:30:06 PM 791 Views
That's wrong Etzel - 14/11/2009 04:45:02 PM 908 Views
Not one word of what I wrote is wrong. Tom - 15/11/2009 01:41:18 AM 854 Views
right here Jim - 15/11/2009 03:04:57 AM 776 Views
If Graendal's name is mentioned, then "Graendal" is in the book. *NM* Tom - 15/11/2009 12:13:57 PM 346 Views
BS just said that Graendal will be mentioned, not appear as a character in ToM. *NM* Etzel - 15/11/2009 09:58:53 AM 327 Views
I never said "appear as a character." *NM* Tom - 15/11/2009 12:14:16 PM 328 Views
Etzel - 15/11/2009 12:44:07 PM 848 Views
BS never would have figured it out himself that Graendal did it? *NM* Etzel - 14/11/2009 05:20:19 PM 328 Views
Re: I don't see any reason the Graendal theory is wrong from that. BlackAdder - 19/11/2009 12:07:25 AM 1015 Views
Just once it would be nice to get a blow from Graendal. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/11/2009 03:50:41 PM 310 Views
Agreed. *NM* Etzel - 14/11/2009 04:46:33 PM 315 Views
Nope, that's not a blow against it at all beetnemesis - 14/11/2009 06:32:10 PM 701 Views
I don't agree with this interpretation at all - your grasping for straws... kcf - 14/11/2009 07:34:58 PM 805 Views
Agreed *NM* Sidious - 15/11/2009 06:55:44 AM 308 Views
I disagree... Etzel - 15/11/2009 09:57:23 AM 795 Views
Only if you make the assumption that she was the most obvious to Sanderson. lord-of-shadow - 14/11/2009 07:37:39 PM 862 Views
Personally... Legolas - 15/11/2009 12:11:50 AM 863 Views
I think... Etzel - 15/11/2009 09:55:42 AM 720 Views
No. Try again. everynametaken - 14/11/2009 11:35:59 PM 881 Views
Ok, I will stay alert for further blows to Graendaldunnit, if this didn't already convince you! *NM* Etzel - 15/11/2009 10:02:26 AM 312 Views
Actually this is more against the Slayer theory Sidious - 15/11/2009 01:49:08 PM 779 Views
Nonsense... Etzel - 15/11/2009 02:06:04 PM 757 Views
Your tenacity is impressive. Legolas - 15/11/2009 03:14:50 PM 817 Views
Absolut statements in such discussions... Etzel - 15/11/2009 03:53:22 PM 731 Views

It's also possible that Lanfear gave Slayer the task. *NM* Etzel - 15/11/2009 07:55:17 PM 973 Views
Pa'ah did it. *NM* Mjolner - 18/11/2009 01:02:09 AM 337 Views
It is not gone, I have a copy of it *NM* Ryan - 15/11/2009 06:19:11 PM 312 Views
I agree with Etzel. Skeeve the Great - 20/11/2009 02:59:44 AM 724 Views
