I disagree since she was killed by rand she is directly part of his plotline. Now how exactly can we have a revel of her as the killer when it HAS BEEN SAID that the KILLER will be revealing it themself. When she is dead and we know she won't be getting a flashback. Moraine killed him (slayer is ridiculous sorry eztal).

I would love for you to give more detail on how the scenes you imagine would play out.


Such a scene would precisely be a flashback in Rand's plot-/ timeline, especially if we would get the PoV from Graendal just before Rand's balefire hit her palace. It's clear from his answers, that BS won't jump back in Rand's plotline.


a better candidate as Asmodean's killer. Which it does not. There are plenty of ways to reveal Graendal as the culprit even if she is dead AND there are NO flashbacks.

There are dozens of ways to incorporate a Graendal scene from another POV that is NOT in Rand's plot line. Aran'gar could be near Elayne, Mat or Perrin and have such a flashback. Mesaana could have a chat with Demandred. Moridin could inform Cyndane and/or Moghedien of Graendal's death (or escape if that's how it plays out), there could even be another Social prior to Rand Balefiring NB.

Just because BSand said there won't be as much flashback as book 10 doesn't mean Graendal won't appear, you can't even claim she's even part of Rand's plot line! For most of the series she's not been involved directly in any of the main cast's plot lines.

He's been vague on her death since the beginning and has even alluded to her possibly being alive, which could mean she has a live appearance after the events at NB.

Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 954 Views

You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 928 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 830 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 953 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 935 Views

No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 825 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 798 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 763 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 963 Views
Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 726 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 890 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 814 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 846 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 754 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 754 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 806 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 967 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 730 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 863 Views

a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 953 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 774 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 986 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 842 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 806 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 926 Views
pure interpretation - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 864 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 929 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 375 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 662 Views

Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 973 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 850 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 856 Views

I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 881 Views
