I repeat, your interpretation is wrong. kcf Send a noteboard - 11/11/2009 08:15:43 PM
The only thing this confirms is that balefire can only remove a thread up to a few days/maybe a week. And that Asomodean died long enough ago that if his killer were balefired he wouldn't come back to life.

This in no way comments about whether Graendal was the killer or not - you can tell very much by Sanderson's reaction. He wasn't going to let this question lead him down that road.


Can Graendal reveal herself as Asmodean's killer in the next two books?

Answer: NO, because she got balefired and we will not see her anymore.

Therefore, someone else will reveal themselves as Asmodean's killer.


First, we don't know for certain that she was balefired. I think it's pretty clear that she was, but interpretation remains open and right now Sanderson is refusing to comment further because more will be revealed of Graendal in ToM. So, whether she's not dead, or we see a POV from an earlier period (remember, the various storylines in TGS take place on different timelines - the take home point is that the timelines are a mess), or if we just see others (such as forsaken) discussing her - we will get more info.

Also, we don't know that Asmo's killer will come from the POV of the killer - that was just one possibility as to how it would be revealed. We could just as easily see someone like Mordin say 'Graendal served the DO well with her death and for killing the traitor Asmodean'.

Your interpretations on the matter are simply wrong.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer - 11/11/2009 05:18:48 PM 1745 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 720 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 788 Views
Yes, Brandon did. I edited my original message to add in another quote from Brandon...see above *NM* - 11/11/2009 05:33:27 PM 373 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 710 Views
It eliminates for the following - 11/11/2009 05:44:29 PM 729 Views
That's quite a leap of logic... - 11/11/2009 06:31:21 PM 839 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 671 Views
I can't follow your logic - 11/11/2009 06:33:41 PM 626 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 652 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 665 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 650 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 630 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 662 Views
This logic is lacking as well - 11/11/2009 10:17:48 PM 703 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 346 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 697 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 332 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 595 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 646 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 325 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 658 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 585 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 615 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 326 Views
Maybe I missed something. - 12/11/2009 03:02:59 PM 598 Views
Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 275 Views
