It proves enough for me ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM
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.


That's just grasping at straws, IMHO. We don't know that Semi would have felt Graendal - it depends on a whole lot of things we have no idea about. Where did SH meet with Elza initially? Was it near enough to Semi that she'd have felt if Graendal channeled? Even if it was near enough, perhaps SH could have prevented Semi from feeling anything - we know he has special abilities with blocking Shadow minions from the True Source. And, even IF Semi felt something, she'd have had no idea what it was. For all she would know, it could simply be Nynaeve channeling. To suggest that she would immediately leap to the conclusion that another FS was nearby, and that she was being set up, is highly implausible.

Not to mention ... if Semi could have felt Graendal remove the Compulsion, then she could have felt her delve Elza, too. There's no reason to think that the delving would be safer than the removing, which is essentially what you are suggesting.

Elza's Compulsion Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 2112 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1035 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 916 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 839 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 976 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 333 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 297 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 720 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 277 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 664 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 679 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 668 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 745 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 671 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 710 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 669 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1054 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 894 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 988 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 921 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 829 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 637 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 667 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 643 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 633 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 760 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 650 Views
Re: no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct Sidious - 18/01/2010 04:48:33 AM 683 Views
I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 672 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 714 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 672 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 692 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 633 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 686 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 675 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1077 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 675 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 717 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 638 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 300 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 894 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 914 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 749 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 736 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 680 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 889 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 746 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 754 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 717 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 627 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 816 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 744 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 634 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 617 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 701 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 709 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 684 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 632 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 735 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 691 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 584 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 635 Views

Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 919 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 812 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 741 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 752 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 805 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 732 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 776 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 751 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 299 Views
