I don't think so. Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM
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.


But even if she Compelled only the ones that were coming to her, that disproves the original post theory that it can't be "well known" and "largely forgotten". Because to Compell so many, who apparently knew the place, the place itself should be well known. And after Compelling so many who knew the place it's no surpise the place now is "largely forgotten".


So, to summarise your points:
1) Graendal Compelled only the ones that were coming to her;

2) We, the readers, know that Graendal Compelled a lot;

3) The logic conclusion is that in order to Compel a lot that were coming to you, this lot needs to know the place, thus the place needs to be well known;

4) After Compelling a lot of people, who knew the place, it's logical to conclude that there are many less left who knew the place. It'll be hard to find the people who would share the knowledge of the location with you. Thus, the place become "largely forgotten"

5) Case closed.

Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 03:34:43 PM 1747 Views
I brought all this up before.. fionwe1987 - 13/02/2010 04:52:39 PM 660 Views
Glad it's been brought up before darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 04:57:11 PM 599 Views
Assuming it's not her hideout . . . Palatine - 13/02/2010 05:47:22 PM 626 Views
I don't see problems Skeeve the Great - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 658 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian beetnemesis - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 608 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 534 Views
"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM 616 Views
I don't think so. Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 571 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 471 Views

you mean the scouts he sent? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:52:59 PM 545 Views
He used scouts to find the place? Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 07:07:16 PM 503 Views
probably, but that doesn't make a difference. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM 508 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 530 Views
Like rotary phones, Milli Vanilli and the Macarena? JasonD - 23/02/2010 12:22:47 AM 458 Views
More... Kieran - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 580 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 250 Views
seems like pretty big differences darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 499 Views
Not really. everynametaken - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 479 Views
it's Maria's job to find these things darius_sedai - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM 500 Views
Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 676 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 593 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 551 Views
Any number of things are possible darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 491 Views
You don't get it. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 481 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 580 Views
There aren't, really. DomA - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 467 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 569 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name Voscaia Sedai - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 565 Views
There are infinite possibilities darius_sedai - 15/02/2010 12:48:23 PM 577 Views

Kerb wasn't planted by anyone. Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2010 06:41:18 PM 521 Views
She's dead, people need to move on. *NM* Libby - 14/02/2010 07:34:31 AM 268 Views
I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:09:53 PM 507 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 511 Views
This from you? HA! darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 511 Views
Look, Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 577 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 500 Views
The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long... Libby - 15/02/2010 08:59:24 PM 542 Views
I'm glad... Jeordam - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 544 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 248 Views
Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved? Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 06:42:37 AM 576 Views
I think that I have my names mixed up.... Jeordam - 16/02/2010 04:17:46 PM 456 Views
Re: I think that I have my names mixed up.... Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 05:43:51 PM 749 Views
The quote is in my original post! darius_sedai - 23/02/2010 12:30:14 PM 472 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 246 Views
