It was locked and warded by Caddy. Only she knew where it was, until she showed it to Sorilea and Bair.
I'm betting SH "sniffed it out". Elza was at the Cleansing and knew Caddy had it. Obviously he circumvented the wards, (Sorilea was closing the door when Caddy dismantled them so it couldn't have been her) and if he did that it probably wasn't beyond him to sniff out were it was. Don't forget that even run of the mill fades can detect channeling.

we don't know everything he's capable of and he could certainly have done something himself, like unravel weaves. He does have the power to shield after all.
but it seems speculative so I just have it in the back of my mind for now.
btw, long time no post - welcome back

It's funny, but I know very few women (none) IRL who act like AS, but RJ definitely fits their MO

I don't think I've ever heard a woman actually "sniff" at someone either

My gut feeling tells that Sorilea isn't a DF

I don't think so
13/01/2010 06:02:40 PM

Actually it was very much like a DF

Actually, it's not about who stole it. It's about how Elza knew where it was AND

Not quite, IMO

and Verin told us that you could betray the FS if you could justify it

Sorilea never saw the wards unraveled. And I'm pretty sure they were inverted.

inverted yes, but she was standing right there when Cadsuane unwove them

As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps.

The point was that Sorilea knew two key pieces of information from that moment

She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too...

How do you know Caddy embraced the source only then?
14/01/2010 07:35:00 PM

so you contend that she was walking around holding the Source the whole time?

I think Bsand or RJ stated that Shaidar Haran could not do that himself, which is why he needed Elza

I disagree that Verin would have tried to create suspicion or discord.

IMO either she or Bair are a DF
