Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM
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.


with her. There is nothing to indicate that she won't have a scene involving Graendal in the next book.

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1098 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 957 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 887 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 914 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 860 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 769 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 877 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 854 Views

Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM 832 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 763 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 729 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* Etzel - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 699 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 909 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 668 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 828 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 755 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 773 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 708 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 682 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 736 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 902 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 660 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 795 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 988 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 698 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 908 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 804 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 947 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 835 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 893 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 785 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 882 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 706 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 921 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 777 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 743 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 867 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 802 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 864 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 351 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 592 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 716 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 660 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 787 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 799 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 856 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 937 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 910 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 794 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 787 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 699 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 788 Views

Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 764 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 871 Views
I admit the possibility, but consider it highly unlikely for the reasons I pointed out. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:58:01 PM 837 Views

Rand used so much baelfire on her that he zapped them all back to the last 3rd Age darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:38:48 PM 920 Views
I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* RandAllThor - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 817 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 783 Views
Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base Logain - 12/07/2010 07:36:49 PM 935 Views

On a somewhat related note, Sanderson says ToM consists of 80 chapters as of now. Ginormous! RandAllThor - 13/07/2010 01:54:15 AM 721 Views
