It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM
I'd say it's easier to explain that a channeler taught Elza a few tricks (maybe in TAR where she couldn't remove the Compulsion) ... than have some convoluted new SH power...


We know the Shadow can muck around with its minions' minds - look at what was done to Fain, for example. I'd say that was much more complex than what I suggested was done to Elza.

As for your TAR idea to explain why the Compulsion wasn't removed ... I could buy that. If that were the case, though, then it seems more likely that it would have been Cyndane or Moggy who taught the weaves, rather than Graendal. Presumably, SH could have rounded up one of Moridin's pets more quickly than Graendal. And even if it was Graendal, I wouldn't consider that as direct involvement in what happened to Semirhage. This idea is more of an incidental involvement - the weave-teacher (Graendal or whoever) likely had no idea (and wouldn't have been told) what was being planned for Semirhage, even if she knew that Elza was in the same camp as Semirhage.

Elza's Compulsion Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 2143 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1067 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 942 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 865 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 1007 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 363 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 309 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 753 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 291 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 689 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 700 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 694 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 784 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 700 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 747 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 708 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1077 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 923 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 1008 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 941 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 856 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 657 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 691 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 665 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 658 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 782 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 676 Views
Re: no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct Sidious - 18/01/2010 04:48:33 AM 711 Views
I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 691 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 740 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 698 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 717 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 660 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 708 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 693 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1095 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 706 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 733 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 662 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 309 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 918 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 942 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 769 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 763 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 712 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 918 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 766 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 784 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 746 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 656 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 836 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 765 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 660 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 643 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 727 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 739 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 712 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 656 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 755 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 712 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 605 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 655 Views
Re: I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:30:53 PM 761 Views
Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 948 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 835 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 762 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 775 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 826 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 763 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 797 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 793 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 310 Views
