Reading this quote it's odd that Elza still holds to her "you will face the Great Lord and lose" mentality ... that epiphany was due to the compulsion in the first place so with it gone why still hold to it?


It's actually subtly different. Before, her epiphany was that Rand would face the DO and lose in the Last Battle. The context here clearly shows that Rand was supposed to face the DO now, well before the Last Battle and completely in Semirhage's power.

Besides, that wasn't an effect of the compulsion directly; Elza was using it as justification to act out the compulsion. I don't think removing the compulsion would change that (but would stop her from blindly following Rand).

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1085 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 954 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 885 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 1035 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 371 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 320 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 770 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 299 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 702 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 715 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 708 Views
Yeah, as I said elsewhere, would be a nice question for BS, if there was another Forsaken. *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:08:05 PM 803 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 719 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 765 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 750 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1105 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 940 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 1024 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 961 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 869 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 676 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 707 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 679 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 675 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 795 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 700 Views
Re: no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct Sidious - 18/01/2010 04:48:33 AM 728 Views
I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 705 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 755 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 715 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 729 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 677 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 720 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 708 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1112 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 727 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 747 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 676 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 319 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 931 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 958 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 785 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 784 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 736 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 941 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 784 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 797 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 759 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 666 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 858 Views

Re: Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:44:26 PM 688 Views
Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 782 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 678 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 658 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 744 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 753 Views
this makes my head hurt ... or maybe all that red wine I drank last night is doing that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:23 PM 728 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 671 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 770 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 727 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 619 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 669 Views

Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 970 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 850 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 776 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 790 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 840 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 789 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 815 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 807 Views
But that could mean that they were to start the LB between Rand and the Great Lord immediately *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 16/01/2010 01:04:32 PM 319 Views
