Odds are she's dead darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM
I personally believe that RJ didn't leave notes specifically concerning how Graendal would meet her fate. Maybe he did, but many of the events leading up to her dead were undoubtedly Sanderson. And while Sanderson's done a great job, I get the feeling that his grasp on both the One Power and repercussions of making small mistakes like this is minimal at best. RJ spent so long writing the books because there is so much detail that one has to be careful about. Sanderson probably didn't think "Graendal would realize that Rand already found out about others whom I've put Compulsion and be more careful in the future."

I might be wrong, but I'd bet quite a bit that Graendal is toast.


I am looking forward to seeing what led up to her death in ToM though!

Graendal's fate? Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 04:18:11 AM 1877 Views

Maybe... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 04:28:16 AM 854 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 897 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 774 Views
She is dead dacole - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 725 Views
That's pretty terrible logic beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 887 Views
I disagree. Rand al'Thor - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 728 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 1296 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 818 Views
I say dead. *NM* Gher - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 398 Views
Dead. Seriana Sedai - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 724 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? Master Radishes - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 813 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 810 Views
Moridin would most likely know. RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 724 Views

That weave was very complex. Kronin al'Sulc - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 719 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 801 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 743 Views
Almost certainly dead Isaac - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 893 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 3065 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, Fred Gaidin - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 725 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 903 Views

Not necessarily. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 702 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 956 Views
Re: Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:48:30 AM 898 Views
Hm. Possible. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 1020 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 732 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 663 Views
That's just absurd Marshall - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 816 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 748 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 768 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 787 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 729 Views
Well Marshall - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1171 Views

Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 681 Views
