Re: I think Graendal is dead fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 04:08:13 AM
Mainly because I can't see how anyone could predict that Rand would just balefire the entire Palace. Therefore there was no way for her to set up Rand with the fake Compulsion, not to mention that it should be almost impossible for her to remove the Compulsion at a distance.

Well, Moridin knew Rand would be using Balefire on the Forsaken from now on. He all but told him to! And we see that Moridin is working more with Graendal these days. I'm sure he told her about this major change in Rand's strategy.
Once it is known that his aversion to hurting women and using balefire is gone completely, I don't see how Graendal would not have been able to predict what Rand would do.
I disagree about Kerb, no one would have suspected him if Nynaeve hadn't Delved the merchant. She would have died, what appeared to be, a natural death in a prison, just as the messenger had before her. Without, likely Rand's ta'veren twisting, no one would ever have found out about Kerb, who was apparently positioned before Rand ever came to Bandar Ebon.

Why did Nynave go back to the prison? Because Graendal's courier died. Who killed him? Graendal's slave! How was that slave discovered? Because he was pointlessly poisoning the merchant. Why poison her? To draw suspicion.
As for your conclusion, I think you be right on, the Shadow just wasn't worried about when it would happen. Sooner or later all of the pressures on Rand would have to overload him and have him do as he almost did.

Yup. Graendal's "death" was just another thing to pressure him to destroy the world.

The major flaw is that you think Moridin actually cares about Graendal Matrimony Cauthon - 29/10/2009 07:10:11 AM 658 Views
