I like your theory but I think she's dead Sidious Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 05:44:04 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if she's alive.

However, he balefired the fortress and the man was suddenly fine. That is pure balefire text if ever I saw it. Rand's also not ignorant anymore - he and Lews Therin know how Graendal works, and how Compulsion works in great detail.

My biggest problem with your theory is that it would require two things...
- perfect timing : her weaves would have to unravel at the moment of his attack, and there's no way she could know this. He could have attacked her minutes later or hours later - she could never know.
- the absence of residues : the weaves were completely gone. They didn't unravel and leave a trace. Nynaeve would have noticed this.

Graendal always insinuated that if she detected Rand she would flee, and I wouldn't be surprised if she became suspicious, Compelled the guy and Travelled.

I wonder if it's possible that she was not even present. Could anyone else duplicate her feat on this messenger, thus also setting us up for her return? It might be as simple as Graendal dying in this book, but I think it's possible she's alive in some twisted form. The absence of a body is always dodgy, and we didn't even see her at all in this scene.

The major flaw is that you think Moridin actually cares about Graendal - 29/10/2009 07:10:11 AM 588 Views
He needs her... - 29/10/2009 03:54:28 PM 505 Views

I don't think he needs her anymore... the Last Battle is only moments away - 29/10/2009 05:34:29 PM 483 Views
I wonder if that's even true - 29/10/2009 05:53:20 PM 513 Views
