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 2033 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 966 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 848 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 771 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 884 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 305 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 274 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 656 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 250 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 595 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 614 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 600 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 666 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 597 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 650 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 601 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 977 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 828 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 920 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 850 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 760 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 569 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 596 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 576 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 566 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 695 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 591 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 608 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 623 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 598 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 627 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 570 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 625 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 612 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1008 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 610 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 650 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 567 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 272 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 830 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 858 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 677 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 675 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 613 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 824 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 675 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 687 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 652 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 561 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 744 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 671 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 571 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 550 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 637 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 638 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 613 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 575 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 667 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 630 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 526 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 561 Views

Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 832 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 753 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 684 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 678 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 730 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 652 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 714 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 694 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 270 Views
