Well... Etzel Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 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.

That's a huge leap. We have zero evidence that SH would have any such ability! SH could have just taken his "pleasure" with her which as we saw from Mesaana, not pleasant.


BS's statement indicates that the knowledge came from SH (note that BS doesn't say that someone thought AoL weaves) during the process in which Elza became his tool. We really don't know what SH is capable of, but he certainly becomes more and more powerful.


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.

Why, when they had a perfectly easy minion at hand, would they risk putting another FS woman in the room with Semi... who was also being tasked with getting back in S'T's good graces?

All I'm saying is that Graendal was the source of teaching Elza the weaves and detected her Compulsion (something SH has not been able to do in the past).


There was no need to teach Elza those things, if Graendal could fetch the Domination Band. Then she could give it Elza. However, that Elza was "essential", indicates that SH had no other minion - like e.g. Graendal - to use in this situation.

Elza's Compulsion Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 1993 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 932 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 786 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 717 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 801 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 283 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 256 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 621 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 232 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 560 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 576 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 565 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 605 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 563 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 591 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 561 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 922 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 776 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 861 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 808 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 696 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 531 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 549 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 537 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 534 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 648 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 552 Views
Re: no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct Sidious - 18/01/2010 04:48:33 AM 578 Views
I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 576 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 577 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 559 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 593 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 535 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 593 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 579 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 960 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 578 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 609 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 536 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 254 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 780 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 815 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 623 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 638 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 558 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 771 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 642 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 653 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 619 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 523 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 700 Views
Re: Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:25:32 PM 589 Views
Re: Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:44:26 PM 555 Views
Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 637 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 529 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 522 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 599 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 594 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 574 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 542 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 636 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 591 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 485 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 525 Views
Re: I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:30:53 PM 631 Views
Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 772 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 722 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 647 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 641 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 689 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 617 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 681 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 660 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 251 Views
