That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM
Another key quote/Q&A from Brandon:

Q. Was the Compulsion which Elza told Semirhage about, Verin's work from after Dumai's Wells, and was it Shaidar Haran who told her about it and to ask Semirhage to remove it?

A. Yes.


So, we know for a fact that it was SH who told Elza about her Compulsion, AND told her to have Semirhage remove it.

But Graendal could have told SH! Nothing in this answer precludes that.
If Graendal was involved in this plot at all (e.g. it was Graendal who delved Elza and told SH about the Compulsion), SH would have had Graendal remove the Complusion right then and there, rather than tell Elza to go have Semirhage remove it. Especially since Graendal is the most expert on Compulsion of all the Forsaken, so we're lead to believe.

There's one reason why that wouldn't be true. The moment Graendal channeled to remove the compulsion, Semi would have sensed her. She would have suspected FS involvement in her escape, and smelled a trap.

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 952 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 820 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 752 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 850 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 295 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 268 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 643 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 244 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 583 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 600 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 586 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 646 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 583 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 628 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 586 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 958 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 811 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 902 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 830 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 737 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 553 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 574 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 561 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 552 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 672 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 575 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 596 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 602 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 581 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 616 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 560 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 615 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 599 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 989 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 600 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 634 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 556 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 266 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 819 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 844 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 655 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 660 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 591 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 802 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 661 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 674 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 638 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 548 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 728 Views

Re: Good point! - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 556 Views
I agree - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 539 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 623 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 616 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 562 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 657 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 610 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 507 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 548 Views

Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 664 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 714 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 639 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 701 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 681 Views
