So in other words Sidious Send a noteboard - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 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...


... if it's proven to us that SH can teach weaves, you'll drop the whole Graendal thing? I think that's the case. He can cut people off from the One Power - he must have other abilities.

Elza's Compulsion Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 1951 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 896 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 740 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 680 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 745 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 270 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 243 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 583 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 218 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 516 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 537 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 526 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 563 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 528 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 550 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 524 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 882 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 741 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 822 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 767 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 652 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 493 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 513 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 504 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 495 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 613 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 514 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 542 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 534 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 522 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 557 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 495 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 555 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 539 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 918 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 537 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 558 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 497 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 241 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 744 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 778 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 581 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 594 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 517 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 735 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 601 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 607 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 578 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 484 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 663 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 599 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 492 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 487 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 562 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 557 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 536 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 499 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 598 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 554 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 445 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 487 Views

Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 734 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 689 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 609 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 605 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 652 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 584 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 642 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 630 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 239 Views
