I believe she's dead Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 09:06:37 PM
The only possibility to escape this was that Graendal was not the one who compelled him - but she already told Sammael she would not teach Compulsion to anyone.


But come on...all the Forsaken do is lie to each other ;)

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2734 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1468 Views
