We will see... *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM
With Aran'gar or Moridin's pets, besides being informed about what they are doing at the moment (Graendal doesn't even know in TGS that Aran'gar already left the Rebels for several days; it's possible that Aran'gar got another secret task by SH).

And as said, even if Graendal were, that doesn't mean that she would likely appear again in ToM. It was often the case in the books that a Forsaken had several potential plots or confrontations in the future, but due to the sudden death of this Forsaken those things became void.


She's been seen in any number of instances where she has no direct involvement! She's been directly involved with every other Forsaken... she knows most of their plans and could easily make a quick appearance in any number of plot lines without it being difficult. Hell there could be another FS meeting that takes place before her death just as easily as anything.

You are correct that there may be no reason for her to appear, that is certainly a possibility, but it's also possible that the actual Author disagrees and has reasons to keep her final death mysterious for now ... which IMO means she has a role yet to fulfill (that could have happened prior to her death), or we'd have gotten a "she's toast".

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1266 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 1112 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 1043 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 1091 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 1024 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 937 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 1045 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 1022 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 986 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 1008 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 921 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 887 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 850 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 1051 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 813 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 978 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 924 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 962 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 869 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 877 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 928 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 1087 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 835 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 953 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 1148 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 863 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 1059 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 949 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 1134 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 985 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 1056 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 944 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 1042 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 877 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 1084 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 949 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 922 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 1035 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 950 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 1027 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 426 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 764 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 897 Views
Re: Exchanging info is not doing nothing Etzel - 15/07/2010 10:08:44 PM 921 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 849 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 968 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 971 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 1026 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 1107 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 1087 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 942 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 952 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 855 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 930 Views
I also just said that... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 828 Views

Re: I think Datakim - 16/07/2010 04:37:20 PM 988 Views
Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 910 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 1055 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 1005 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 1043 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 966 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 929 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 1116 Views
hrmm, not necessarily Kieran - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 888 Views
I agree. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM 456 Views
Uh... TaskmasterJack - 12/07/2010 10:10:08 PM 1011 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 874 Views

This report was probably a misinterpretation Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:23:24 AM 968 Views
