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 1642 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 625 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 692 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 332 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 598 Views
It eliminates for the following - 11/11/2009 05:44:29 PM 631 Views
That's quite a leap of logic... - 11/11/2009 06:31:21 PM 739 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 565 Views
I can't follow your logic - 11/11/2009 06:33:41 PM 521 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 554 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 571 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 543 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 525 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 561 Views
This logic is lacking as well - 11/11/2009 10:17:48 PM 604 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 304 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 610 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 290 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 498 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 545 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 278 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 545 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 489 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 516 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 281 Views
Maybe I missed something. - 12/11/2009 03:02:59 PM 497 Views
Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 232 Views
