Dead. *NM* AgentOrange Send a noteboard - 06/01/2010 03:58:47 PM
TGS (The Last that could be Done) - Rand raised a hand and, filled with the power he did not understand, wove a single weave. A bar of pure white light, a cleansing fire, burst from his hand and struck Semirhage in the chest. She flashed and vanished, leaving a faint afterimage to Rand's vision.

Is Semirhage dead? Possibilities....

1. Semirhage is dead.

2. Semirhage Travelled. As one of the most skilled channelers of her Age, she could have done this. We've seen Lanfear disappear before in earlier books.

3. Semirhage wove an illusion of invisibility on herself and ran away. She took off the bracelet and let it drop to the floor.

4. The True Power, being the opposite of the One Power, makes balefire that propels you into the future. Rand left the room and went to banish Cadsuane. Semirhage rematerialized later in the room and was unharmed, and ran away.

5. The entire scene happened in Tel'aran'rhiod, with Semirhage still in her cell. Although she was shielded, she entered TAR, pulled Rand in and created an overly elaborate scenario to break him. It worked and he thought he'd killed her. Shadar Haran freed her later and she and Elza left the place.

6. It's one of Lews Therin's memories from the War of Power, washing over his own. Combined with the fact that Rand is mildly tainted himself, he perceived something that didn't happen.

7. Semirhage's fireball in KoD had a weave of Compulsion that sucked onto Rand's brain. It was designed to unravel/activate after about a week. When it did, it made him delusional and he thought Semirhage had caught him. In the mean time, Shadar Haran freed Semirhage.

8. Rand hit her with an invisibility weave, not balefire. She ran away and Moridin unravelled it. Rand himself said he didn't understand the power he was using.

9. Graendal wove an illusion of Semirhage and sent it after Rand while Shadar Haran freed the real Semirhage. Graendal watched the scene unfold and at the exact moment she sensed his balefire coming, she let her illusion disappear.

10. It wasn't Semirhage from the beginning, but Sammael who had resurfaced. Using Semirhage as a disguise he got himself into a whole lot of trouble and died for real this time.

Thoughts?

Yet Sammael knew even before he had her convinced he would be NB - 06/01/2010 05:46:03 PM 565 Views

Old comrades? - 08/01/2010 05:41:18 AM 595 Views
Yub, for Forsaken they were pretty close; closer than Graendal and Aran'gar. *NM* - 08/01/2010 07:18:01 AM 416 Views
I disagree that Graendal and Sammael were "chummy" - 08/01/2010 03:19:48 PM 547 Views
The point was that Graendal and Aran'gar aren't that close... - 08/01/2010 03:37:06 PM 687 Views
I agree. - 06/01/2010 06:57:35 PM 640 Views

I wonder if the DO could ressurect her since it was his power that killed her? *NM* - 06/01/2010 02:13:41 PM 320 Views
I doubt it personally - 06/01/2010 02:40:16 PM 620 Views

Re: Do you think ... - 06/01/2010 06:46:07 PM 568 Views
I think it was actually a combination of 7, 9 and 10 - 06/01/2010 02:49:53 PM 656 Views
Very inventive, but.... Semirhage is Toast with a Capital T. *NM* - 06/01/2010 03:24:36 PM 332 Views
