as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM
That it doesn't kill the "Graendal was there"-theory, all the quotes rather indicate that truly just SH and Elza were involved - as it seems to be the case in the book - because only these two characters are mentioned regarding the scene. It seems especially unlikely that the Compulsion expert Graendal was apparently needed to find out that Elza was under Compulsion and to teach her the necessary weaves, but that Graendal wouldn't remove the Compulsion then or simply take the DM herself (after probably checking what weaves would actually be needed for Elza to open the box ). It's even said that Elza was "essential" for SH for getting things done (since SH is limited in affecting the physical world), though one wonders why SH couldn't use Graendal, if she was anyway already involved.

Ah, well, we will see.


No one asked if anyone else was involved, nor did we get a specific answer to how Elza learned what she learned, or what else was done to her in order to make her SH tool. For all we know it could have been a series of evenings in TAR with Moridin discussing Theology :)

This is the part of me that wishes authors didn't give out-of-book explanations like this! We all interpret those in a thousand ways too.

Elza's Compulsion Sidious - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 2208 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1130 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 1011 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 953 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 1095 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 391 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 342 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 814 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 321 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 744 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 760 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 751 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 846 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 776 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 818 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 793 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1149 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 986 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 1071 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 1006 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 922 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 719 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 770 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 723 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 724 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 843 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 747 Views
Re: no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct Sidious - 18/01/2010 04:48:33 AM 774 Views
I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 751 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 799 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 755 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 773 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 721 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 763 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 751 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1156 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 796 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 788 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 715 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 337 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 981 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 1015 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 863 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 849 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 828 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 1005 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 824 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 838 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 801 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 710 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 896 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 826 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 722 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 705 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 784 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 805 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 769 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 713 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 816 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 772 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 668 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 716 Views
Re: I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:30:53 PM 829 Views
Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 1025 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 895 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 836 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 843 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 886 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 839 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 855 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 857 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 336 Views
