"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM
Something to be "well known" and to be "largely forgotten" is not a controversy.

First of all, Sammael observation happen a way before Rand arrives to Arad Doman. During that time, Graendal easily Compelled large half of all nobels in Arad Doman. Which is pretty much what Sammael predicted - "every Domani who visited here left believing that this land had been handed down in her family since the Breaking".

Second, the nature of "well known" and "largely forgotten" are not that incompatible. The place may be very well known, as in someone says the name and you immideately recognize the name and point it. And the same name can be largely forgotten, as in someone is asked to say the hideout of Forsaken and the "well known" place does not come up in the list at all.


Graendal can only compel those who come to her. Seems likely that anyone they tell their story to about a "well known" estate that is suddenly changed hands would raise a few eyebrows. It would be like someone saying they had spoken to the President of the USA and telling you all about how it was John McCain.

Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 03:34:43 PM 2123 Views

Assuming it's not her hideout . . . Palatine - 13/02/2010 05:47:22 PM 996 Views
I don't see problems Skeeve the Great - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 1007 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian beetnemesis - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 979 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 858 Views

I don't think so. Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 940 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 840 Views

you mean the scouts he sent? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:52:59 PM 931 Views
He used scouts to find the place? Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 07:07:16 PM 827 Views
probably, but that doesn't make a difference. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM 897 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 901 Views
Like rotary phones, Milli Vanilli and the Macarena? JasonD - 23/02/2010 12:22:47 AM 800 Views
More... Kieran - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 945 Views
Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM* everynametaken - 14/02/2010 12:22:27 AM 410 Views
seems like pretty big differences darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 836 Views
Not really. everynametaken - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 839 Views
it's Maria's job to find these things darius_sedai - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM 848 Views
Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 1019 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 964 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 912 Views
Any number of things are possible darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 862 Views
You don't get it. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 861 Views
Go re-read it... I said there are discrepancies between what Sammael said and what Rand said darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:54:43 PM 975 Views
There aren't, really. DomA - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 825 Views
so you think a kid who has likely never even seen a map knows the name of a castle darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 10:09:55 PM 944 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name Voscaia Sedai - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 943 Views

She's dead, people need to move on. *NM* Libby - 14/02/2010 07:34:31 AM 462 Views
I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:09:53 PM 886 Views
Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:48:09 PM 870 Views
This from you? HA! darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 871 Views
Look, Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 982 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 847 Views
The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long... Libby - 15/02/2010 08:59:24 PM 942 Views
I'm glad... Jeordam - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 919 Views
I'm with you on her probably being dead only because it's so close to the end *NM* darius_sedai - 16/02/2010 01:30:42 AM 416 Views
Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved? Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 06:42:37 AM 963 Views
I think that I have my names mixed up.... Jeordam - 16/02/2010 04:17:46 PM 866 Views

The quote is in my original post! darius_sedai - 23/02/2010 12:30:14 PM 856 Views
Yes; but those pieces of evidence basically separate the 2 schools of thought on her "death scene" *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 03:59:41 PM 451 Views
