Ishamael plans millennia ahead by sowing the seeds for the Black Ajah, the Seanchan and the current RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 01:57:39 PM
formation of the Westlands by influencing Artur Hawkwing.

There is no way he could have known which seeds sprouted, but he went forward planning with his time limit and despite his lack of omniscience, many of his plans bore valuable fruit.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2826 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1554 Views
