I mean Semirhage's whole plot becoming Anath and later posing as Tuon during the meeting with Rand was a big lie. This shows that Semirhage of course lies at length if it suits her plans.


Sorry, but that's a ridiculous thing to state.. it's not like she's a good person who just happens to be allied to the Shadow. Of course she's evil and does evil deeds, but one of her character traits is to use logic and dispassion to gain her goals, and therefore deception and lying is counterproductive to her. She's the opposite of Graendal who is all about everything being a lie and a deception. I'm not trying to portray the woman as virtuous, I'm merely saying that lying is not one of her primary weapons against the Light - unlike Graendal, Lanfear and Moghedien who frequently lie to gain an inch.

What Semirhage said in KoD, she clearly said just to cause dissension among Rand's followers and unsettle Rand. She can hardly know what is going on in Rand's mind. Even Graendal doesn't know it, but just guessed. We know that Rand isn't insane (yet) and therefore hears a voice of a past life (as Semirhage implies), but that LTT is really a personality in his mind, probably provided by the Wheel. It's also most questionable if this could abruptly lead to "terminal madness".


She's remarkably close to the truth. She's expressing her opinion, and she's clearly thought about it a lot. Ever wonder why Semirhage used an Illusion when almost no other Forsaken ever bothers? It's because she's received too many bothersome reports that Rand is Lews Therin, and he would recognize her. Which he did.
