Re: I believe she's dead Sidious Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 09:09:58 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 ;)



But why would Graendal teach her most potent weapon to the Black Ajah? She's well aware of how treacherous darkfriends can be. Besides that, there is no evidence that she has any darkfriends under her service. In the prologue she was alone in her palace with her pets, like all her previous PoV's.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2693 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1387 Views
