I don't think she would have taught anyone Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 09:18:03 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.


I just wouldn't use her telling Sammael that as any kind of evidence. I agree with you that it's incredibly unlikely that she would though, based on what we know of her (unless she foresaw the need, which I don't buy).
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 2741 Views
