Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel Send a noteboard - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM
Especially if they don't completely trust each other, as one can suspect with Graendal and Aran'gar, who never worked together before. Graendal and Sammael were already quite close in the AoL, thus it's not surprising that Graendal would tell him about her lair (contrary to Aran'gar).

I definitely think, though, that it's likely that Graendal and Aran'gar met once or twice in TAR between the prologue of TGS and Graendal's death. However, nothing suggests that Graendal would tell Aran'gar about her lair or that they were closely working together on some project, but just exchanging infos. That Aran'gar lost her power base could make her even less valuable in Graendal's eyes. Probably both were anyway rather busy on their very own plots in the last weeks till Graendal's death so that they didn't see each other that often.

Actually I didn't start the discussion, if Graendal will have a PoV in ToM. Other people suddenly suggested that it's very likely that we will see Graendal again and that she will have a PoV in ToM, although she died, or even claimed that BS stated that we'll see Graendal again, because they obviously misinterpreted BS's comments about the timelines & that Graendal's name will be mentioned in ToM a few times. I just pointed out the reasons then, why it is highly unlikely that Graendal will be seen again, let alone have a PoV in ToM, if she died in TGS. Apparently you agree with this.

As said, I think most likely Aran'gar will muse about Graendal, their last meeting & her death, at whatever location Aran'gar is staying now or during a Forsaken meeting.

This... - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1176 Views
how do you get there from this? - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1027 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 959 Views
Because... - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 987 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 931 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 834 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 956 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 939 Views
No... - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 827 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 803 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 768 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 969 Views
Again... - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 731 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 894 Views
The point is... - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 816 Views
that is 100% your interpretation - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 851 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 758 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 757 Views
As far as we know... - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 812 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 970 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 734 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 867 Views
We will see... *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1059 Views
Indeed - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 784 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 970 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 898 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 964 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 853 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 957 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 778 Views
where do you get this stuff from? - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 990 Views
Eh, no - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 846 Views
I disagree - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 809 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 929 Views
pure interpretation - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 868 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 932 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 376 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 665 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 789 Views

Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 977 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 855 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 859 Views
Ok... - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 775 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 845 Views
I also just said that... - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 743 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 886 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 849 Views
Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base - 12/07/2010 07:36:49 PM 1001 Views
