certainly her intentions were to be one of the good guys darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 05:40:26 PM
But most likely not when she was involved with Rand. She may have reported on her escapades with Rand in TGH to her superiors, but I don't think she ever sabotaged Rand. I don't doubt that she sowed discord among his 'followers' who were scheming like crazy behind his back, but her plan was to help the Dragon Reborn, and at that point she'd decided that Cadsuane could be trusted. (I can't quite remember, but IIRC the scene mentioned in the original post is after Verin decides not to poison her isn't it?)

And in the years leading up to Rand's birth and Moiraine's discovery of him, Verin probably killed, tortured, kidnapped and jaywalked with the best of them. But then she was there to help Rand.


But she certainly implies that she had to juggle the BA leadership's orders where she could... like giving Egwene notes on the 13 that left and the items they took. She slipped in what extra information she could without betraying her oaths, and gave the the Stone Ring ter'angreal without their knowing etc... but that's just typical AS slipperiness.

But it's also clear that she believes that she had done many things that she could not be forgiven for ... I wonder if we'll learn more about her actions...

I wondered at the phrasing of that passage ... Yondaime - 14/01/2010 03:41:36 AM 1216 Views
Heh, you ironically misspelled "spell" *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 04:47:55 AM 716 Views
RJ was Aes Sedai to the core! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:33:45 AM 1333 Views
It's funny, but I know very few women (none) IRL who act like AS, but RJ definitely fits their MO RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:00:00 PM 1218 Views
I don't think I've ever heard a woman actually "sniff" at someone either darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:09:07 PM 1221 Views
I was under the impression that SH got the Band DREWRULESWOT! - 14/01/2010 09:10:48 AM 1185 Views
I, too, have suspicions ... Yondaime - 13/01/2010 06:11:12 AM 1407 Views
I agree! darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 07:13:10 AM 1199 Views
I doubt that there is anything in the book .... Yondaime - 14/01/2010 02:58:47 AM 1146 Views

Wow, you should add a spoiler alert to your thread. amirebram - 13/01/2010 06:36:45 AM 1246 Views
Why couldn't have Elza got them? brett014 - 13/01/2010 06:42:03 AM 1300 Views
Re: Didn't Shadar Haran free Semirage? BlackAdder - 13/01/2010 06:44:56 AM 1351 Views
IMO Bair is also a suspect darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 07:18:15 AM 1166 Views
SH has all kinds of strange powers NaClH2O - 14/01/2010 05:52:06 PM 994 Views
Yeah, SH is a wildcard BlackAdder - 15/01/2010 02:20:52 AM 1118 Views
Re: Why couldn't have Elza got them? amirebram - 13/01/2010 10:12:07 PM 1069 Views
It was brought up a while back in one of the earlier discussion threads BlackAdder - 13/01/2010 06:47:33 AM 1194 Views
The whole forum is full of spoilers *NM* darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 07:11:38 AM 664 Views
Be more careful. Spoilers are freely allowed now. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 13/01/2010 04:05:27 PM 658 Views
He didn't mean it as a tGS spoiler BlackAdder - 13/01/2010 04:09:17 PM 1083 Views
Exactly. I have this thing with theories ... amirebram - 13/01/2010 10:16:02 PM 1118 Views
then how do you read the forums at all? darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 11:20:54 PM 1091 Views
With caution. amirebram - 14/01/2010 07:41:39 PM 1155 Views
I'm kind of the opposite I guess darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 08:50:36 PM 1136 Views
My gut feeling tells that Sorilea isn't a DF Etzel - 13/01/2010 11:24:33 AM 1336 Views
My gut agrees with your gut. *NM* Shishka - 13/01/2010 01:31:08 PM 562 Views
Great guts think alike! *NM* Etzel - 13/01/2010 03:06:29 PM 546 Views
And fool guts, seldom differ! *NM* Insomdeon - 13/01/2010 05:10:41 PM 594 Views
My gut would have gotten me killed in WOT amirebram - 13/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 1091 Views
Haha I love how the DFs are coming from all over the place! *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 04:57:19 PM 628 Views
Me neither Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:30:27 PM 1003 Views
I don't think so Sidious - 13/01/2010 06:02:40 PM 1164 Views
perhaps, but Semirhage is also in disgrace darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 06:53:04 PM 1083 Views
Actually it was very much like a DF amirebram - 13/01/2010 10:21:46 PM 1268 Views
I don't buy it Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:29:05 PM 1004 Views
the thread started by pointing out Verin implies Sorilea may not be on the same side... darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:26:51 PM 1168 Views
Moiraine said as much to Egwene long before that Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:07:20 AM 1148 Views
we'll just have to RAFO darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 04:13:17 PM 983 Views
Actually, it's not about who stole it. It's about how Elza knew where it was AND amirebram - 15/01/2010 05:53:08 PM 1109 Views
Not quite, IMO BlackAdder - 13/01/2010 11:53:46 PM 1119 Views
and Verin told us that you could betray the FS if you could justify it darius_sedai - 13/01/2010 11:55:32 PM 1175 Views
Exactly BlackAdder - 13/01/2010 11:58:46 PM 1113 Views
Re: A clue that Sorilea is a Dark Friend? Gerbeaud - 13/01/2010 09:05:19 PM 980 Views
Elza already had the DB when she freed Semirhage from captivity darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 12:24:00 AM 1144 Views
Sorilea never saw the wards unraveled. And I'm pretty sure they were inverted. fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 12:44:58 AM 1056 Views
inverted yes, but she was standing right there when Cadsuane unwove them darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 12:47:26 AM 1032 Views
As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps. fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 03:27:04 AM 1117 Views
Re: As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps. darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:43:16 AM 1072 Views
Did you see what you wrote? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 03:12:58 PM 1141 Views
The point was that Sorilea knew two key pieces of information from that moment darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 03:38:27 PM 1013 Views
She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 05:10:58 PM 1076 Views
Re: She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too... darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:29:39 PM 1100 Views
How do you know Caddy embraced the source only then? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 07:35:00 PM 954 Views
so you contend that she was walking around holding the Source the whole time? darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 08:52:10 PM 1261 Views
Very possible. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:14:21 PM 473 Views
Bair is at least as strong a suspect darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:17:27 PM 1108 Views
I don't think Brandon's statement support your theory Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:34:21 PM 906 Views
That's a bit of a leap. darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 08:55:36 PM 804 Views

Re: Elza already had the DB when she freed Semirhage from captivity Gerbeaud - 14/01/2010 02:42:47 AM 1134 Views
I think Bsand or RJ stated that Shaidar Haran could not do that himself, which is why he needed Elza darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:47:04 AM 1084 Views
I disagree that Verin would have tried to create suspicion or discord. Gher - 14/01/2010 03:16:32 AM 1142 Views
Yet Verin herself tells us that she did things for the Shadow... darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:51:39 AM 1053 Views
Sure Gher - 14/01/2010 05:18:56 PM 1049 Views
certainly her intentions were to be one of the good guys darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:40:26 PM 980 Views
I agree. Gher - 14/01/2010 05:53:58 PM 1012 Views
this scene does happen before she is "sure" of Cadsuane darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:07:19 PM 947 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:17:18 PM 1110 Views
This would be a great development. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 04:55:29 PM 1089 Views
that's exactly the type of foreshadowing I would expect kcf - 14/01/2010 06:48:25 PM 1139 Views
IMO either she or Bair are a DF darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:58:57 PM 1164 Views
this is pure RJ kcf - 14/01/2010 07:07:09 PM 1345 Views
True ... my personal fav is "if she's not BA she's the next thing to it" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:01:05 PM 1084 Views
Have we ever seen two different races of darkfriends working together? Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:46:48 PM 1032 Views
yes - Suroth and Liandrin *NM* kcf - 14/01/2010 08:49:16 PM 764 Views
