I just don't understand the logic here Sidious Send a noteboard - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM

Rand sent his messenger through with a gateway. He followed later. Why do you assume that Graendal knew that Rand was close to her Palace with the Choedan Kal?

It's a HUGE error in logic. Firstly you assume she knows that Rand is around, when he mentioned that he was going after Graendal at the very moment he actually went, so it was impossible for her to know. Secondly, it's outrageous to think she'd know he had the Choedan Kal on him at the time.

The chapter is not vague. If Graendal was going to flee then she would have Compelled the messenger and left, sensing that Rand might be getting close. For all she knew he'd sent a messenger to every noble house in the area, and hers was one of many. There is no way Graendal knew that Rand had just popped up and suddenly planned an overly elaborate plan to make her Compulsion unravel at the exact moment that he completely unexpectedly balefired the Palace with the Choedan Kal. For crying in a bucket, even Min and Nynaeve didn't know what was happening, and they are his allies!

Graendal - maybe the deadliest Forsaken - 05/11/2009 07:00:12 AM 1612 Views
It has definitely been hinted - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 697 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 733 Views
I think she was - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 605 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 669 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 594 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 625 Views
I'm divided on it.. - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 537 Views
Here's the deal, though. Semirhage actions actually followed part of the theory to a tee. - 05/11/2009 07:21:21 PM 537 Views
Ah, anyway... - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 492 Views
I agree with you - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 576 Views
Exactly. - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 713 Views
I just don't understand the logic here - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 611 Views
It's quite simple logic. - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 603 Views
Then how did she do it? - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 517 Views

It is a possibility. - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 515 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 606 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 572 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 214 Views
Re: Hmm, I have some problems with this - 06/11/2009 02:34:54 PM 581 Views

She's definitely the deadiest - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 612 Views
I think she escaped, but it says something that he had to become worse than a Forsaken to do it - 05/11/2009 06:10:08 PM 516 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 464 Views
Thanks for reminding me. Oh well, then I'm stuck with the whole tearing apart the Pattern thing - 05/11/2009 06:44:35 PM 477 Views
Moiraine says. - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 494 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 522 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 591 Views
From what I keep hearing - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 547 Views
I could well believe it - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 439 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 425 Views
I conceed to Rand's point - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 602 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 448 Views
True... - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 487 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 572 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 543 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 533 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 417 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 400 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 412 Views
meh - 19/12/2009 11:56:12 PM 425 Views
