it's Maria's job to find these things darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM
You'd think Maria would have caught some of these errors.


Maria is one person and to expect her to catch every little thing over a dozen books and point them out to a new author is unreasonable. I personally find your trying to form a cohesive theory about why she is not dead with your examples of contradictions a huge stretch.


But that's not the point. I don't want to assume that she may have made mistakes.

What theory? I've said a dozen times that I just find it a little strange that there are so many discrepancies. Where have I said I think she's alive? Where have I put forth a theory on how she survived? I've pointed out several odd disconnects between the various texts (which quite frankly Maria should have been able to catch as easily as I did).

Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 03:34:43 PM 1752 Views
I brought all this up before.. fionwe1987 - 13/02/2010 04:52:39 PM 664 Views
Glad it's been brought up before darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 04:57:11 PM 603 Views
Assuming it's not her hideout . . . Palatine - 13/02/2010 05:47:22 PM 629 Views
I don't see problems Skeeve the Great - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 662 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian beetnemesis - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 612 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 540 Views
"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM 619 Views
I don't think so. Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 575 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 476 Views

you mean the scouts he sent? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:52:59 PM 552 Views
He used scouts to find the place? Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 07:07:16 PM 505 Views
probably, but that doesn't make a difference. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM 514 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 535 Views
Like rotary phones, Milli Vanilli and the Macarena? JasonD - 23/02/2010 12:22:47 AM 464 Views
More... Kieran - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 584 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 251 Views
seems like pretty big differences darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 502 Views
Not really. everynametaken - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 482 Views

Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 682 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 597 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 556 Views
Any number of things are possible darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 496 Views
You don't get it. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 485 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 584 Views
There aren't, really. DomA - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 471 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 572 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name Voscaia Sedai - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 567 Views
There are infinite possibilities darius_sedai - 15/02/2010 12:48:23 PM 582 Views

Kerb wasn't planted by anyone. Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2010 06:41:18 PM 526 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 511 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 516 Views
This from you? HA! darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 515 Views
Look, Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 580 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 506 Views
The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long... Libby - 15/02/2010 08:59:24 PM 547 Views
I'm glad... Jeordam - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 549 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 581 Views
I think that I have my names mixed up.... Jeordam - 16/02/2010 04:17:46 PM 461 Views
Re: I think that I have my names mixed up.... Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 05:43:51 PM 753 Views
The quote is in my original post! darius_sedai - 23/02/2010 12:30:14 PM 477 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
