Well Marshall Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM
I personally believe that RJ didn't leave notes specifically concerning how Graendal would meet her fate. Maybe he did, but many of the events leading up to her dead were undoubtedly Sanderson. And while Sanderson's done a great job, I get the feeling that his grasp on both the One Power and repercussions of making small mistakes like this is minimal at best. RJ spent so long writing the books because there is so much detail that one has to be careful about. Sanderson probably didn't think "Graendal would realize that Rand already found out about others whom I've put Compulsion and be more careful in the future."

I might be wrong, but I'd bet quite a bit that Graendal is toast.

Graendal's fate? Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 04:18:11 AM 1809 Views
Dead. Great Lord of Chaos - 02/11/2009 04:22:48 AM 840 Views
Maybe... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 04:28:16 AM 813 Views
I think it's fair to say at this point that Graendal did not kill Asmodean. LlordNakcor - 02/11/2009 04:36:37 AM 855 Views

Why has she been removed from the list of suspects? beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 02:29:41 PM 735 Views
She is dead dacole - 09/11/2009 01:37:03 AM 681 Views
That's pretty terrible logic beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:58:57 AM 821 Views
I disagree. Rand al'Thor - 02/11/2009 10:29:21 PM 685 Views
Agreed. *NM* Lord Haart - 19/11/2009 11:43:45 AM 335 Views
Could it have been Verin who killed Asmodean? Bookwyrm - 02/11/2009 05:20:37 AM 1253 Views

I thought so too, but KCF set me straight.. his response in a thread further down the board kavorka - 02/11/2009 05:56:40 PM 775 Views
I say dead. *NM* Gher - 02/11/2009 06:07:15 AM 374 Views
Dead. Seriana Sedai - 02/11/2009 06:46:10 AM 680 Views
Dead as Dumbledore. But why does it preclude her from being Asmo's killer? Master Radishes - 02/11/2009 07:04:08 AM 769 Views
Right. That info could easily be revealed through the POV of another. *NM* RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 02:15:31 PM 344 Views
It could but... Ashaman Narishma - 02/11/2009 03:14:23 PM 765 Views
Moridin would most likely know. RandAllThor - 02/11/2009 04:06:04 PM 680 Views
Well.... Etzel - 02/11/2009 08:52:52 AM 736 Views

Alive until proven otherwise IMO *spoilers* Dragonsworn - 02/11/2009 03:47:51 PM 759 Views
That weave was very complex. Kronin al'Sulc - 02/11/2009 10:34:36 PM 675 Views
Actually, the one that Rand had Nynaeve study earlier was more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:11:07 PM 760 Views
But you can't reverse Compulsion by unraveling it, right? BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:48:08 PM 702 Views
Almost certainly dead Isaac - 02/11/2009 04:48:18 PM 852 Views
Yeah. Compared to, say, Sammael's "death" beetnemesis - 02/11/2009 10:40:01 PM 752 Views
Not even almost. Graendal and Sammael now both go well with eggs. *NM* Marshall - 03/11/2009 01:51:15 AM 365 Views
Oh, I agree, but fiction, deus ex machina, etc Isaac - 04/11/2009 09:58:42 PM 686 Views
Graendal is dead. the evidence is pretty hard NaClH2O - 03/11/2009 08:00:27 PM 3020 Views
Well, unlike everyone else, Fred Gaidin - 04/11/2009 01:34:57 AM 687 Views
Alive. It's the simplest answer for me, especially considering that Rand knew she was more cunning RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 05:03:38 PM 850 Views
Re: Balefire. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 05:30:12 PM 688 Views
Not necessarily. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 06:08:34 PM 657 Views
The thing is... Etzel - 04/11/2009 06:25:43 PM 738 Views
Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:30:05 PM 912 Views
Re: Here's the rub - she had no desire to come into contact with Rand. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:48:30 AM 855 Views
Hm. Possible. Kaldric - 04/11/2009 06:42:12 PM 980 Views
I think it's the most simple possibility. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 10:39:02 PM 688 Views
Re: I think it's the most simple possibility. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:51:52 AM 620 Views
That's just absurd Marshall - 04/11/2009 10:48:30 PM 770 Views
No, I'm making it more simple. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 11:11:36 PM 701 Views
That thoery doesn't account for the undoing of the Compulsion Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:50:06 PM 724 Views
Yes, it does. Distance causes maintained weaves and Links to attenuate. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 04:22:37 PM 748 Views
Yes, but Compulsion is almost never a maintained weave *NM* Marshall - 06/11/2009 07:19:24 PM 390 Views
But the real question in my mind... darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 08:28:31 PM 682 Views
Well Marshall - 06/12/2009 08:45:12 PM 1128 Views
Odds are she's dead darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:48:19 PM 559 Views
Re: No, I'm making it more simple. dacole - 09/11/2009 01:53:49 AM 698 Views
Amen! Praise the Great Lord of the Dark! **I agree with all points** Bookwyrm - 05/11/2009 07:21:52 AM 735 Views

Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 12:12:04 PM 637 Views
Yeah, I was shocked initially. BlackAdder - 18/11/2009 10:58:15 PM 695 Views
