Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM
I'd say it's easier to explain that a channeler taught Elza a few tricks (maybe in TAR where she couldn't remove the Compulsion) ... than have some convoluted new SH power...


We know the Shadow can muck around with its minions' minds - look at what was done to Fain, for example. I'd say that was much more complex than what I suggested was done to Elza.

As for your TAR idea to explain why the Compulsion wasn't removed ... I could buy that. If that were the case, though, then it seems more likely that it would have been Cyndane or Moggy who taught the weaves, rather than Graendal. Presumably, SH could have rounded up one of Moridin's pets more quickly than Graendal. And even if it was Graendal, I wouldn't consider that as direct involvement in what happened to Semirhage. This idea is more of an incidental involvement - the weave-teacher (Graendal or whoever) likely had no idea (and wouldn't have been told) what was being planned for Semirhage, even if she knew that Elza was in the same camp as Semirhage.


I think it's likely someone was involved in teaching a few weaves at the instruction of SH or Moridin, but the more I think about it the more I think that person was probably never even present in the manor.

I think that person was most likely Graendal only because of the Compulsion element and her proximity, and her instructions from Moridin were in-line with this situation. IMO Graendal probably discovered Elza's Compulsion when teaching her, told SH about it and moved on to other projects.

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:12:05 PM 818 Views
I disagree Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:27:27 PM 674 Views
except work with Semirhage! darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:34:37 PM 603 Views
Well... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:43:40 PM 674 Views
SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:20:19 PM 238 Views
Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM* Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:16:22 AM 214 Views
that's your interpretation of the quote darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM 510 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM* Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM 202 Views
As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:46:55 PM 452 Views
The question is... Etzel - 16/01/2010 03:59:24 PM 469 Views
Re: The question is... darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:02:55 PM 448 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 485 Views
I bet you anything he'd giva a big fat RAFO to that darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:08:58 PM 460 Views
BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:16:09 PM 471 Views
always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently? darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:31:54 PM 460 Views
Shaidar Haran can't channel. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:34:51 PM 809 Views
I know... Etzel - 14/01/2010 09:45:15 PM 671 Views
I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 09:58:28 PM 751 Views
That doesn't prove anything... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 10:07:46 PM 687 Views
It proves enough for me ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:26:28 PM 583 Views
Re: That doesn't prove anything... Sidious - 15/01/2010 11:03:05 AM 423 Views
not really darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:29:25 PM 472 Views
I don't understand your theory Sidious - 16/01/2010 05:08:03 PM 435 Views
It's very simple darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 06:17:36 PM 424 Views
So in other words Sidious - 17/01/2010 06:31:58 PM 543 Views
no I'd continue to insist that something disproved was correct darius_sedai - 17/01/2010 06:43:41 PM 441 Views

I'm talking about implanting knowledge into someone elses head darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 05:37:32 AM 455 Views
Here's Brandon's one answer Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:20:20 PM 457 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 05:48:54 PM 452 Views
Exactly my point darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 06:24:25 PM 493 Views
But by this logic... Etzel - 18/01/2010 06:50:43 PM 455 Views
Yes... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 07:00:40 PM 500 Views
While you are right... Etzel - 18/01/2010 08:44:19 PM 471 Views
as we've discussed in another thread darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:08:56 PM 846 Views
I mean... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:21:39 PM 464 Views
Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL? darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:26:38 PM 483 Views
"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote. Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM 421 Views
Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM* darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM 213 Views
Maybe secret BA weaves... Etzel - 19/01/2010 06:37:42 PM 673 Views
Possible since she was the only BA in the area darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 06:40:38 PM 704 Views
See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 09:10:43 PM 505 Views
I have a hard time... Etzel - 19/01/2010 02:17:52 PM 512 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 19/01/2010 04:45:59 PM 442 Views
and you may very well be correct darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 05:39:02 PM 663 Views
Yet Rand/LTT tells us only a few chapters later darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 10:27:57 PM 539 Views
Anything is possible ... Shishka - 14/01/2010 10:54:46 PM 537 Views
who knows darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:21:43 PM 507 Views
It's not all that convoluted, though ... Shishka - 15/01/2010 03:26:01 PM 441 Views
Cyndane/Moggy/Graendal it all amounts to the same in the end darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 05:57:10 PM 593 Views

Good point! Etzel - 15/01/2010 07:19:00 AM 525 Views
Re: Good point! Shishka - 15/01/2010 05:30:12 PM 420 Views
I agree Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:50:09 AM 406 Views
what doesn't make sense about this to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 06:04:45 PM 489 Views
Re: what doesn't make sense about this to me Shishka - 15/01/2010 06:29:59 PM 484 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 464 Views
damn double posting darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:04:56 PM 430 Views
As it is often the case... Etzel - 16/01/2010 09:30:56 AM 521 Views
go re-read my statements and quit putting words in my mouth please. darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 03:59:52 PM 480 Views
Well... Etzel - 16/01/2010 04:14:28 PM 381 Views
as I said it's also possible that SH has new abilities darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:33:30 PM 421 Views
Re: I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:30:53 PM 520 Views
Uhhh? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:13:13 PM 668 Views
One point darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 09:20:09 PM 610 Views
Re: One point Oberonus - 14/01/2010 09:32:00 PM 533 Views
Elza truly believes that... fionwe1987 - 14/01/2010 09:38:35 PM 537 Views
Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion" darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM 578 Views
So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed. Cannoli - 15/01/2010 05:56:32 AM 513 Views
fair enough darius_sedai - 16/01/2010 04:34:05 PM 558 Views
Not quite rAndy aL - 14/01/2010 09:38:45 PM 561 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 211 Views
