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 2111 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 915 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 975 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 828 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 636 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 642 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 682 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 685 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 893 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 748 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 679 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 753 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 633 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
Re: I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:30:53 PM 741 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 731 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
