That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM
Another key quote/Q&A from Brandon:

Q. Was the Compulsion which Elza told Semirhage about, Verin's work from after Dumai's Wells, and was it Shaidar Haran who told her about it and to ask Semirhage to remove it?

A. Yes.

So, we know for a fact that it was SH who told Elza about her Compulsion, AND told her to have Semirhage remove it.

But Graendal could have told SH! Nothing in this answer precludes that.
If Graendal was involved in this plot at all (e.g. it was Graendal who delved Elza and told SH about the Compulsion), SH would have had Graendal remove the Complusion right then and there, rather than tell Elza to go have Semirhage remove it. Especially since Graendal is the most expert on Compulsion of all the Forsaken, so we're lead to believe.

There's one reason why that wouldn't be true. The moment Graendal channeled to remove the compulsion, Semi would have sensed her. She would have suspected FS involvement in her escape, and smelled a trap.

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 1017 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 899 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 818 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 956 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 324 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 290 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 702 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 269 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 647 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 665 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 652 Views
Yeah, as I said elsewhere, would be a nice question for BS, if there was another Forsaken. *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:08:05 PM 726 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 657 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 693 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 654 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 1031 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 878 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 968 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 903 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 810 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 622 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 652 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 624 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 619 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 742 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 634 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 651 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 694 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 655 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 676 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 615 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 666 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 657 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 1057 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 657 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 695 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 619 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 293 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 875 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 897 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 729 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 718 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 665 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 873 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 728 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 736 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 700 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 613 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 796 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 728 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 615 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 598 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 680 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 693 Views
this makes my head hurt ... or maybe all that red wine I drank last night is doing that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:23 PM 667 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 613 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 715 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 675 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 564 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 616 Views

Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 901 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 793 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 724 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 734 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 783 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 708 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 759 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 735 Views
But that could mean that they were to start the LB between Rand and the Great Lord immediately *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 16/01/2010 01:04:32 PM 291 Views
