It's very simple darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM

Could you please start at the beginning and tell me why a female Forsaken was involved in this scene?

From what I've read, and from Brandon's answers, SH arrived and did what he could and then he got Elza to go what he could not. It was those two alone.


Someone taught Elza AoL weaves enabling her to perform the tasks for SH, and someone figured out that she was under a Compulsion. We know SH in the past could not tell the difference between weaves so unless he's got a whole new array of abilities (which I acknowledge as possible), only one of the female Forsaken could have been responsible for Elza's knowledge.

Graendal is IMO the most likely since she's already in the area, is attached to Compulsion and was previously given orders to bring Rand pain ... this would seem like just another piece to that...

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1127 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 1008 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 951 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 1093 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 391 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 341 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 812 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 320 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 741 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 757 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 748 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 844 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 773 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 816 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 791 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1146 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 984 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 1069 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 1004 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 919 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 716 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 768 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 721 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 722 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 839 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 745 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 749 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 797 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 753 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 770 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 719 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 760 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 749 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1154 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 793 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 786 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 713 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 337 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 979 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 1013 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 860 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 847 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 826 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 1003 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 821 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 836 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 800 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 707 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 894 Views

what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 782 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 802 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 711 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 813 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 770 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 666 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 714 Views

Re: One point - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 834 Views
Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 841 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 885 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 838 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 853 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 855 Views
