I have a hard time... Etzel Send a noteboard - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM
To believe that Graendal saw Elza in TAR, apparently Delved her there and then taught her the necessary weaves to get the DM, because she figured that this would ultimately lead to a confrontation, where Rand will balefire Semirhage with the TP to protect Min. At least to me the idea that Graendal could foresee all this seems very far-fetched (similar to the idea that she figured out how Rand would try to kill her and fled before the balefire came).

I also think Graendal's involvement makes then only sense, if she closely worked together with SH, knew everything about Moridin's link to Rand and that Semirhage should be sacrificed. I don't believe, though, that Moridin would give this away, since it's basically a great weakness for him.

And why wouldn't Graendal visit Elza then in the real world and already cure her Compulsion, and avoid losing any time by teaching Elza those weaves, because Graendal could simply get the DM on her own & give it to Elza.

Besides that, BS didn't even said that Elza was taught any AoL weaves, but that Elza "had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves", and this seems to be related to becoming SH's tool. To me this rather sounds, as if SH was responsible. We have other examples of people, who were obviously changed by the TP, e.g. Alviarin, Fain or Slayer.

Elza's Compulsion - 14/01/2010 08:41:04 PM 1993 Views
I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 932 Views
I disagree - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 785 Views
except work with Semirhage! - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 717 Views
Well... - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 800 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 283 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 256 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 621 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 232 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 560 Views
The question is... - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 575 Views
Re: The question is... - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 565 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 605 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 563 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 591 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 560 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 922 Views
I know... - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 776 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 861 Views
That doesn't prove anything... - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 808 Views
It proves enough for me ... - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 695 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 531 Views
not really - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 549 Views
I don't understand your theory - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 537 Views
It's very simple - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 533 Views
So in other words - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 648 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 552 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 575 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 576 Views
But... - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 559 Views
Exactly my point - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 593 Views
But by this logic... - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 535 Views
Yes... - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 593 Views
While you are right... - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 578 Views
as we've discussed in another thread - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 959 Views
I mean... - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 577 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 609 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 536 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 254 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 780 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 815 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 622 Views
I have a hard time... - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 638 Views
I agree with you - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 558 Views
and you may very well be correct - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 771 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 642 Views
Anything is possible ... - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 653 Views
who knows - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 618 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 523 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 700 Views

Re: Good point! - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 529 Views
I agree - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 522 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 598 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 594 Views
damn double posting - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 542 Views
As it is often the case... - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 635 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 590 Views
Well... - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 485 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 525 Views

Re: One point - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 647 Views
Elza truly believes that... - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 641 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 689 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 616 Views
fair enough - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 681 Views
Not quite - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 660 Views
