I don't think that Semirhage was sacrificed Etzel Send a noteboard - 25/07/2010 08:36:47 AM
It makes no real sense that the Moridin first wanted Semirhage to capture Rand with the DB in KoD (as stated in TGS, prologue). Then SH actually frees Semirhage to try it again. Exactly in the moment, when she succeeds, when Rand is breaking, since he is killing Min, the DO would prevent this by saving Min and killing Semirhage due to giving Rand access to the TP.

It makes more sense that Rand managed to take the TP through the link to Moridin and that the Shadow couldn't foresee this. If Rand wouldn't have done this, the Shadow had likely won, because Rand would be a prisoner at SG, tortured by Semirhage, and Min dead.

It's an interesting theory in either direction darius_sedai - 25/07/2010 04:54:31 PM 631 Views

You can't expect BS to give away things with 2 books to go. redhand - 26/07/2010 01:48:37 AM 562 Views

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books RabidWombat - 26/07/2010 02:29:59 AM 582 Views

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 09:02:44 AM 580 Views

But if this was the plan... Etzel - 26/07/2010 12:30:37 PM 503 Views
Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 05:56:56 PM 564 Views

I fail to see the relevance. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 27/07/2010 02:06:27 AM 226 Views
the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK Sidious - 27/07/2010 05:25:45 AM 442 Views

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 07:01:13 AM 514 Views
So why not give it to Moridin then? Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:54:47 AM 512 Views
If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 03:39:58 PM 503 Views
Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"? Mik - 27/07/2010 04:17:35 PM 480 Views
It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 04:34:45 PM 473 Views
Not if Moridin sensed it, instead of seeing it. Mik - 27/07/2010 08:12:25 PM 483 Views

I agree with DomA *NM* *NM* RabidWombat - 27/07/2010 03:44:51 AM 222 Views
That last line had me laughing! (right on the money too, by the way) *NM* Mik - 27/07/2010 02:58:20 PM 211 Views
I don't believe in foreshadowing that you can figure out from the actual plot. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 08:42:11 PM 473 Views
