Go re-read it... I said there are discrepancies between what Sammael said and what Rand said

Your first post claimed that there was an inarguable plot hole.
This is clearly not the case, there are plenty of explanations around it. There's also a difference between "possible" and "plausible".
It's "plausible" that Graendal moved her lair after Sammael's apparent death/disappearance.
It is NOT "plausible" that Graendal planned the entire chain of events leading to Natrin's Barrow being BF'ed, and then escaped in an elaborate ruse.
Both are of course technically "possible", but I should remind you that it is also "possible" that all of the events of the Wheel of Time series turns out to simply be a dream being had by a giant purple happy butterfly who is, out of some cosmic sense of irony, named Narg. Brandon has not revealed it to us yet, so it's possible. Of course, it's far from plausible.

That make it very easy to question Natrin's Barrow as Graendal's true location. I never said there was a "plot hole"
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death

"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get!

I don't think so.

He used scouts to find the place?

Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM*

Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael.

Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised?

so you think a kid who has likely never even seen a map knows the name of a castle

She's dead, people need to move on. *NM*

I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead

Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone.

The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long...

I'm with you on her probably being dead only because it's so close to the end *NM*

Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved?

Yes; but those pieces of evidence basically separate the 2 schools of thought on her "death scene" *NM*
