Yeah, and Caddy's alarm didn't go off, so I think it had to be a channeler. Sorilea can channel (barely). Bair cannot.
yeah and in TGS Cadsuane notes how adept Sorilea is at her weaves... certainly not strong, but obviously a capable channeler.
In previous books, I was under the impression that Sorilea was on about the same level as Morgase; technically able to channel, but not really able to do much. However, like you pointed out, Cadsuane thought Sorilea was capable. I'm suddenly struck with the thought that maybe Sorilea's talent is to unravel weaves. I'm starting to wonder if Aviendha learned that skill from Sorilea. I don't remember much about Aviendha's ability to unravel weaves, but I think that this is worth looking into.
Hmmmm...
Also, if I remember correctly, didn't Sorilea have a significant choice in which captured AS were brought in to swear fealty to Rand (the group that included Elza)?
Sorry if this seems a bit disconnected. I'm just trying to piece bits and parts together.
The more I think about it, the more and more I like this theory. There's not very much evidence, true, and not many people are going to support it, but it might make it to the top of my "crazy theories" list. But who knows? I supported the idea that Verin was either BA or had somehow managed to sidestep the oaths despite little support for that theory. Maybe this will be the same.
EDIT= Because I cannot splel to save my life...
"Take the Gleeman!" Rand and Mat cried, throwing Thom to the Myrddraal. Then they ran away as fast as they could, and Thom's screams quickly faded into the distance along with any inconvenient feelings of guilt.

It's funny, but I know very few women (none) IRL who act like AS, but RJ definitely fits their MO

My gut feeling tells that Sorilea isn't a DF
13/01/2010 11:24:33 AM

I don't think so
13/01/2010 06:02:40 PM

Actually, it's not about who stole it. It's about how Elza knew where it was AND

Not quite, IMO

Sorilea never saw the wards unraveled. And I'm pretty sure they were inverted.

inverted yes, but she was standing right there when Cadsuane unwove them

As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps.

The point was that Sorilea knew two key pieces of information from that moment

She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too...

How do you know Caddy embraced the source only then?

so you contend that she was walking around holding the Source the whole time?

I think Bsand or RJ stated that Shaidar Haran could not do that himself, which is why he needed Elza

I disagree that Verin would have tried to create suspicion or discord.
