I agree. Gher Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 05:53:58 PM
But most likely not when she was involved with Rand. She may have reported on her escapades with Rand in TGH to her superiors, but I don't think she ever sabotaged Rand. I don't doubt that she sowed discord among his 'followers' who were scheming like crazy behind his back, but her plan was to help the Dragon Reborn, and at that point she'd decided that Cadsuane could be trusted. (I can't quite remember, but IIRC the scene mentioned in the original post is after Verin decides not to poison her isn't it?)

And in the years leading up to Rand's birth and Moiraine's discovery of him, Verin probably killed, tortured, kidnapped and jaywalked with the best of them. But then she was there to help Rand.


But she certainly implies that she had to juggle the BA leadership's orders where she could... like giving Egwene notes on the 13 that left and the items they took. She slipped in what extra information she could without betraying her oaths, and gave the the Stone Ring ter'angreal without their knowing etc... but that's just typical AS slipperiness.

But it's also clear that she believes that she had done many things that she could not be forgiven for ... I wonder if we'll learn more about her actions...


But I think she did the vast majority of her evil deeds before Rand showed up. She may even have built up a reputation as someone who killed at the drop of a hat, so she could live off that when the Last Battle came.

Whatever the story, I find it highly unlikely that she ever tried to create suspicion among Rands true followers. So she wouldn't sic Cadsuane on Sorilea unless Verin herself thought Sorilea was a DF.

I wondered at the phrasing of that passage ... - 14/01/2010 03:41:36 AM 1054 Views
Heh, you ironically misspelled "spell" *NM* - 14/01/2010 04:47:55 AM 652 Views
RJ was Aes Sedai to the core! - 14/01/2010 06:33:45 AM 1182 Views
I was under the impression that SH got the Band - 14/01/2010 09:10:48 AM 1036 Views
I, too, have suspicions ... - 13/01/2010 06:11:12 AM 1210 Views
I agree! - 13/01/2010 07:13:10 AM 1046 Views
I doubt that there is anything in the book .... - 14/01/2010 02:58:47 AM 999 Views

Wow, you should add a spoiler alert to your thread. - 13/01/2010 06:36:45 AM 1085 Views
Why couldn't have Elza got them? - 13/01/2010 06:42:03 AM 1154 Views
Re: Didn't Shadar Haran free Semirage? - 13/01/2010 06:44:56 AM 1181 Views
IMO Bair is also a suspect - 13/01/2010 07:18:15 AM 992 Views
SH has all kinds of strange powers - 14/01/2010 05:52:06 PM 821 Views
Yeah, SH is a wildcard - 15/01/2010 02:20:52 AM 982 Views
Re: Why couldn't have Elza got them? - 13/01/2010 10:12:07 PM 910 Views
It was brought up a while back in one of the earlier discussion threads - 13/01/2010 06:47:33 AM 1046 Views
The whole forum is full of spoilers *NM* - 13/01/2010 07:11:38 AM 601 Views
Be more careful. Spoilers are freely allowed now. *NM* - 13/01/2010 04:05:27 PM 589 Views
He didn't mean it as a tGS spoiler - 13/01/2010 04:09:17 PM 914 Views
Exactly. I have this thing with theories ... - 13/01/2010 10:16:02 PM 968 Views
then how do you read the forums at all? - 13/01/2010 11:20:54 PM 932 Views
With caution. - 14/01/2010 07:41:39 PM 997 Views
I'm kind of the opposite I guess - 14/01/2010 08:50:36 PM 980 Views
My gut feeling tells that Sorilea isn't a DF - 13/01/2010 11:24:33 AM 1175 Views
My gut agrees with your gut. *NM* - 13/01/2010 01:31:08 PM 503 Views
Great guts think alike! *NM* - 13/01/2010 03:06:29 PM 484 Views
And fool guts, seldom differ! *NM* - 13/01/2010 05:10:41 PM 526 Views
My gut would have gotten me killed in WOT - 13/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 941 Views
Haha I love how the DFs are coming from all over the place! *NM* - 14/01/2010 04:57:19 PM 568 Views
Me neither - 14/01/2010 08:30:27 PM 857 Views
I don't think so - 13/01/2010 06:02:40 PM 1012 Views
perhaps, but Semirhage is also in disgrace - 13/01/2010 06:53:04 PM 940 Views
Actually it was very much like a DF - 13/01/2010 10:21:46 PM 1115 Views
I don't buy it - 14/01/2010 08:29:05 PM 860 Views
the thread started by pointing out Verin implies Sorilea may not be on the same side... - 14/01/2010 09:26:51 PM 974 Views
Moiraine said as much to Egwene long before that - 15/01/2010 11:07:20 AM 993 Views
we'll just have to RAFO - 15/01/2010 04:13:17 PM 857 Views
Not quite, IMO - 13/01/2010 11:53:46 PM 971 Views
and Verin told us that you could betray the FS if you could justify it - 13/01/2010 11:55:32 PM 1033 Views
Exactly - 13/01/2010 11:58:46 PM 954 Views
Re: A clue that Sorilea is a Dark Friend? - 13/01/2010 09:05:19 PM 838 Views
Elza already had the DB when she freed Semirhage from captivity - 14/01/2010 12:24:00 AM 998 Views
Sorilea never saw the wards unraveled. And I'm pretty sure they were inverted. - 14/01/2010 12:44:58 AM 882 Views
inverted yes, but she was standing right there when Cadsuane unwove them - 14/01/2010 12:47:26 AM 875 Views
As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps. - 14/01/2010 03:27:04 AM 963 Views
Re: As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps. - 14/01/2010 06:43:16 AM 914 Views
Did you see what you wrote? - 14/01/2010 03:12:58 PM 965 Views
The point was that Sorilea knew two key pieces of information from that moment - 14/01/2010 03:38:27 PM 865 Views
She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too... - 14/01/2010 05:10:58 PM 921 Views
Re: She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too... - 14/01/2010 05:29:39 PM 938 Views
How do you know Caddy embraced the source only then? - 14/01/2010 07:35:00 PM 813 Views
so you contend that she was walking around holding the Source the whole time? - 14/01/2010 08:52:10 PM 1066 Views
Very possible. *NM* - 14/01/2010 09:14:21 PM 400 Views
Bair is at least as strong a suspect - 14/01/2010 09:17:27 PM 938 Views
I don't think Brandon's statement support your theory - 14/01/2010 08:34:21 PM 767 Views
That's a bit of a leap. - 14/01/2010 08:55:36 PM 657 Views
Re: I don't think Brandon's statement support your theory - 17/01/2010 10:03:13 AM 1177 Views
I disagree that Verin would have tried to create suspicion or discord. - 14/01/2010 03:16:32 AM 996 Views
Yet Verin herself tells us that she did things for the Shadow... - 14/01/2010 06:51:39 AM 904 Views
Sure - 14/01/2010 05:18:56 PM 889 Views
certainly her intentions were to be one of the good guys - 14/01/2010 05:40:26 PM 829 Views
I agree. - 14/01/2010 05:53:58 PM 822 Views
this scene does happen before she is "sure" of Cadsuane - 14/01/2010 06:07:19 PM 788 Views
Alright. - 14/01/2010 06:17:18 PM 973 Views
This would be a great development. - 14/01/2010 04:55:29 PM 932 Views
that's exactly the type of foreshadowing I would expect - 14/01/2010 06:48:25 PM 957 Views
IMO either she or Bair are a DF - 14/01/2010 06:58:57 PM 1007 Views
this is pure RJ - 14/01/2010 07:07:09 PM 1145 Views
True ... my personal fav is "if she's not BA she's the next thing to it" - 14/01/2010 09:01:05 PM 934 Views
Have we ever seen two different races of darkfriends working together? - 14/01/2010 08:46:48 PM 884 Views
yes - Suroth and Liandrin *NM* - 14/01/2010 08:49:16 PM 661 Views
Milli/Shiane, Carridin, Falion and Old Cully were all in cahoots at various points - 14/01/2010 08:58:40 PM 1293 Views

Re: and then SH shows up out of the goodness of his own heart? - 16/01/2010 05:09:17 PM 925 Views
I think they were told via a DF in the group that she had been broken - 16/01/2010 06:11:01 PM 922 Views
Yes, Kadere and that Aiel chick. - 15/01/2010 12:15:42 AM 811 Views
