That argument is wrong... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 10:48:57 PM

If Semirhage simply had taken him to SG, the Shadow could have done anything to Rand (who probably would be quite broken after killing Min by himself). Therefore I don't see the DO - the "ur-control freak" - giving away this advantage by allowing Rand to free himself and kill one of his best Forsaken with the DO's own power, just for the chance that this might already turn Rand to the Shadow (which didn't happen in the end).

Moridin knows quite well that Rand is powerfully ta'veren, and I'm sure the DO knows too. Taking him to SG might have been severely counter productive.

Moridin's Sha'rah game makes it clear that the plan is to attempt to damage Rand only in such ways that the Pattern cannot counter easily. Capture had already failed, spectacularly. It is very unlikely Moridin would trust to that again.

Did Cadsuane actually get any secrets from Semirhage during her breakdown? Shannow - 12/01/2010 01:38:04 PM 1314 Views
I don't think Cadsuane learned anything from Semirhage... Etzel - 12/01/2010 02:09:26 PM 744 Views
Of course it was necessary to the plot. It's why Shaitan sacrificed Semirhage. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2010 04:28:10 PM 280 Views
Doubt that Rand's TP use was intended Etzel - 12/01/2010 04:44:12 PM 574 Views
It seems very reasonable that the DO would give Rand access to the TP beetnemesis - 12/01/2010 05:22:17 PM 591 Views
i thought BSand said that the DO wasn't aware ... am I making that up? *NM* darius_sedai - 12/01/2010 05:24:26 PM 254 Views
Rand was captured and helpless... Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:41:20 PM 630 Views

A rescue attempt at SG seems pretty difficult, though. And Min would be dead. Etzel - 13/01/2010 08:09:33 AM 518 Views
But Avi, Elayne and Alanna would be alive... fionwe1987 - 13/01/2010 05:53:18 PM 620 Views
Well... Etzel - 13/01/2010 06:01:35 PM 585 Views

I doubt... Etzel - 13/01/2010 08:05:24 AM 502 Views
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE TRUE POWER WITHOUT SHAI'TAN'S CONSENT. Tom - 12/01/2010 08:20:30 PM 544 Views
Maybe and maybe not Datakim - 12/01/2010 08:31:31 PM 527 Views
What Datakim said... Etzel - 12/01/2010 08:42:45 PM 580 Views
Funny when reading that chapter wheelwright - 13/01/2010 07:08:29 PM 656 Views
We will see. The revelation what was really going on will be very interesting in any case! *NM* Etzel - 14/01/2010 11:11:15 AM 266 Views
I predict we'll learn all about this in Graendal's ToM POV *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:16:21 PM 251 Views
I rather think we will learn this from Moridin. *NM* Etzel - 14/01/2010 06:29:32 PM 259 Views
you are likely correct *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:39:42 PM 294 Views

But would the Shadow want her to do what Moghidien and Asmodean did? Ryan - 12/01/2010 04:44:42 PM 491 Views
IMO: Yes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 03:43:16 PM 622 Views
I think... Etzel - 12/01/2010 04:52:00 PM 595 Views
I have doubts about this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 05:20:27 PM 594 Views
But why would the Shadow tell Cadsuane & Co.? Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:50:19 PM 559 Views
Because Semirhage was broken and may have revealed it to them under interrogation/spanking. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/01/2010 06:53:35 PM 267 Views
Hmm, I doubt that Semirhage knew this, since she was concentrated on the Seanchan & Rand. Etzel - 12/01/2010 07:12:45 PM 526 Views
I agree that it's much more likely that Sulin told them about Tam *NM* darius_sedai - 12/01/2010 07:30:32 PM 276 Views
Re: IMO: Yes. ajah - 17/01/2010 07:07:12 AM 459 Views
I don't think so, but that doesn't mean it was "for nothing". Tom - 12/01/2010 04:26:57 PM 559 Views
Just one Sidious - 12/01/2010 05:00:26 PM 604 Views
But already before her "breaking". *NM* Etzel - 12/01/2010 05:02:24 PM 244 Views
