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 955 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 824 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 754 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 852 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 295 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 269 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 646 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 245 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 585 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 604 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 589 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 648 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 586 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 630 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 589 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 961 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 813 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 905 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 832 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 740 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 556 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 577 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 563 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 555 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 674 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 577 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 598 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 604 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 583 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 618 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 563 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 617 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 602 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 992 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 602 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 636 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 558 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 266 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 821 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 846 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 658 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 662 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 594 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 805 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 665 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 677 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 641 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 550 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 730 Views

what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 625 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 618 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 565 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 659 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 612 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 510 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 550 Views

Re: One point - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 672 Views
Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 666 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 717 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 641 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 703 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 683 Views
