Therefore, also the idea that Aran'gar and Delana would suddenly live in Graendal's palace is completely unsupported and unlikely (IMO, even absurd) speculation.

You're twisting my words. I have never said that they are living in her palace. It's possible that Delana is permanent resident, and that Aran'gar comes by on occasion much like Sammael did. could Aran'gar have been there when Rand arrived? Absolutely! Was Nynaeve in TAR at the exact moment that Rand was being attacked by Rahvin...???

Besides that, I don't know how you can call anything absurd. Aran'gar is homeless after being discovered. She could be anywhere.


Nothing indicates that Aran'gar or Delana were there. By your logic one could argue in the same way that anyone else was probably there: Moridin, Demandred, Fain and SH probably just had a party at Graendal's palace...

BS can answer plot points in other ways than bringing a character back in such a scene before the death. That would at least fit with the way the series is written.

Except for your massive lapse in memory that CoT was almost entirely a flashback of the Cleansing.


As far as I know, Osan'gar didn't appear in CoT. Very strange, he died in WH, consequently he should have a flashback PoV or at least appear on-screen in the next book to give us further info on his plots! 8}

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1175 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1026 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 957 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 986 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 930 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 832 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 955 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 937 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 879 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 903 Views
No... Etzel - 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 darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 801 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 766 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 965 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 728 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 893 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 816 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 849 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 757 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 756 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 808 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 969 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 731 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 865 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1058 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 783 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 968 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 849 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1020 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 895 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 961 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 852 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 955 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 777 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 988 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 844 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 808 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 926 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 866 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 931 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 375 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 664 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 734 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 857 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 876 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 923 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 998 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 975 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 851 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 858 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 772 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 841 Views

Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 826 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 938 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 900 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 958 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 884 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 844 Views
