I disagree Etzel Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM
BS's quotes suggest that there were only SH and Elza involved:

Q. "How did Elza defeat the wards on Cadsuane's plain wooden box?"
A. "Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves, and in other ways made into a tool of Shaidar Haran. Not all of it was pleasant for her."

We don't know how, but apparently SH gave Elza this knowledge, when she was made into his tool.

And:
Q: "You mention that Shaidar Haran has quite a few limitations on his power. Can you give us a few concrete examples of these limitations?"
A: "Shaidar Haran needs a minion to most of his work for him. Elza was essential to Shaidar Haran in getting things done."

If Graendal (or one of Moridin's pets) was there, Elza certainly wouldn't be that essential for SH to getting things done. Graendal could have done everything even better than Elza.

Elza's Compulsion - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 2035 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 968 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 851 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 773 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 886 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 305 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 274 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 658 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 250 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 597 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 616 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 602 Views
Yeah, as I said elsewhere, would be a nice question for BS, if there was another Forsaken. *NM* - 16/01/2010 04:08:05 PM 666 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 599 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 651 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 602 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 979 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 830 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 922 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 852 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 762 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 571 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 598 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 576 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 568 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 695 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 593 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 610 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 626 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 600 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 628 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 572 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 626 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 614 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1009 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 612 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 652 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 568 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 272 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 831 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 859 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 679 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 677 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 615 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 825 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 677 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 688 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 654 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 563 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 746 Views

Re: Good point! - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 572 Views
I agree - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 552 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 639 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 640 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 577 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 669 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 632 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 527 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 562 Views

Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 680 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 732 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 654 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 715 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 696 Views
