WSB: Since you said at an earlier signing that the Dark One couldn't have brought back Asmodean if he wanted, was that at the time of Asmodean's death, or after that?
RJ: The Dark One couldn't bring back Asmodean because of the combination of 2 factors: HOW HE DIED and WHERE HE DIED. Not one or the other, both factors.

I'm in that same faction. I didn't really care when it happened, and I still don't. *NM*

I'm pretty sure Sanderson said he would reveal who killed Asmodean

Or maybe RJ just wanted to bring Kumira back, and the balefire will be far enough back for that. *NM*
