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 - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 2187 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1107 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 978 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 918 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 1066 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 380 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 333 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 793 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 308 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 721 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 738 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 731 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 824 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 748 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 791 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 769 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1123 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 958 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 1049 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 981 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 894 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 698 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 747 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 703 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 700 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 817 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 722 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 729 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 774 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 737 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 751 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 698 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 741 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 733 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1134 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 759 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 764 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 696 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 327 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 949 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 985 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 830 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 816 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 770 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 972 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 803 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 820 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 781 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 687 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 876 Views

Re: Good point! - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 703 Views
I agree - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 681 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 763 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 782 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 692 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 788 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 750 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 641 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 693 Views

One point - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 874 Views
Re: One point - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 813 Views
Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 812 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 862 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 811 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 838 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 835 Views
