That argument is wrong... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 10:48:57 PM

If Semirhage simply had taken him to SG, the Shadow could have done anything to Rand (who probably would be quite broken after killing Min by himself). Therefore I don't see the DO - the "ur-control freak" - giving away this advantage by allowing Rand to free himself and kill one of his best Forsaken with the DO's own power, just for the chance that this might already turn Rand to the Shadow (which didn't happen in the end).

Moridin knows quite well that Rand is powerfully ta'veren, and I'm sure the DO knows too. Taking him to SG might have been severely counter productive.

Moridin's Sha'rah game makes it clear that the plan is to attempt to damage Rand only in such ways that the Pattern cannot counter easily. Capture had already failed, spectacularly. It is very unlikely Moridin would trust to that again.

Did Cadsuane actually get any secrets from Semirhage during her breakdown? Shannow - 12/01/2010 01:38:04 PM 1251 Views
I don't think Cadsuane learned anything from Semirhage... Etzel - 12/01/2010 02:09:26 PM 682 Views
Of course it was necessary to the plot. It's why Shaitan sacrificed Semirhage. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2010 04:28:10 PM 255 Views
Doubt that Rand's TP use was intended Etzel - 12/01/2010 04:44:12 PM 516 Views
It seems very reasonable that the DO would give Rand access to the TP beetnemesis - 12/01/2010 05:22:17 PM 537 Views
i thought BSand said that the DO wasn't aware ... am I making that up? *NM* darius_sedai - 12/01/2010 05:24:26 PM 225 Views
Rand was captured and helpless... Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:41:20 PM 573 Views

A rescue attempt at SG seems pretty difficult, though. And Min would be dead. Etzel - 13/01/2010 08:09:33 AM 462 Views
But Avi, Elayne and Alanna would be alive... fionwe1987 - 13/01/2010 05:53:18 PM 558 Views
Well... Etzel - 13/01/2010 06:01:35 PM 528 Views

I doubt... Etzel - 13/01/2010 08:05:24 AM 444 Views
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE TRUE POWER WITHOUT SHAI'TAN'S CONSENT. Tom - 12/01/2010 08:20:30 PM 481 Views
Maybe and maybe not Datakim - 12/01/2010 08:31:31 PM 471 Views
What Datakim said... Etzel - 12/01/2010 08:42:45 PM 506 Views
Funny when reading that chapter wheelwright - 13/01/2010 07:08:29 PM 591 Views
We will see. The revelation what was really going on will be very interesting in any case! *NM* Etzel - 14/01/2010 11:11:15 AM 238 Views
I predict we'll learn all about this in Graendal's ToM POV *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:16:21 PM 228 Views
I rather think we will learn this from Moridin. *NM* Etzel - 14/01/2010 06:29:32 PM 234 Views
you are likely correct *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:39:42 PM 267 Views

But would the Shadow want her to do what Moghidien and Asmodean did? Ryan - 12/01/2010 04:44:42 PM 428 Views
IMO: Yes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 03:43:16 PM 563 Views
I think... Etzel - 12/01/2010 04:52:00 PM 534 Views
I have doubts about this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 05:20:27 PM 539 Views
But why would the Shadow tell Cadsuane & Co.? Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:50:19 PM 499 Views
Because Semirhage was broken and may have revealed it to them under interrogation/spanking. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 06:53:35 PM 241 Views
Hmm, I doubt that Semirhage knew this, since she was concentrated on the Seanchan & Rand. Etzel - 12/01/2010 07:12:45 PM 462 Views
I agree that it's much more likely that Sulin told them about Tam *NM* darius_sedai - 12/01/2010 07:30:32 PM 248 Views

I don't think so, but that doesn't mean it was "for nothing". Tom - 12/01/2010 04:26:57 PM 494 Views
Just one Sidious - 12/01/2010 05:00:26 PM 539 Views
But already before her "breaking". *NM* Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:02:24 PM 222 Views
