I disagree; as I explained in the other posts the parallels are there in an ironic way. *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 19/03/2010 06:11:37 PM
This seems like a perfect example of foreshadowing. While you are right that Aran'gar implies that she killed her allies, if we just take this quote, it exactly describes Graendal's death before it happened.


The only parallel between Aran'gar's statement and Graendal's death was that she died. Aran'gar is clearly stating that she allied with people in the War of Power and then killed them later when she'd used them. That has absolutely nothing to do with Graendal being balefired by her arch-enemy, the Dragon Reborn. Saying that Aran'gar is foreshadowing Graendal's death is as true as saying that Sammael foreshadowed Lanfear's death when he said he'd kill her.

Hmmm, I don't think so. I think it may be indicative of his own end, though. - 17/03/2010 05:11:18 PM 449 Views

Wait, have I read this passage wrong?? - 17/03/2010 06:07:31 PM 383 Views
No, Aran'gar muses about her own alliances. *NM* - 17/03/2010 06:24:35 PM 152 Views
That was my interpretation as well, when I read it in the book. *NM* - 18/03/2010 09:01:01 PM 135 Views
I agree *NM* - 17/03/2010 06:22:48 PM 146 Views
I don't really see "my fellow bad guys are going to die" as being terribly prophetic - 17/03/2010 06:24:32 PM 369 Views

Arangar's allies die because she kills them, not because of some random twists of fate... - 17/03/2010 08:18:24 PM 388 Views

If you're referring to the reference to "those who found graves", then it fits most Forsaken deaths - 17/03/2010 09:15:03 PM 332 Views

It doesn't fit with Graendal's demise enough to have been hinting at it - 18/03/2010 03:45:35 AM 514 Views
