So your response is that Ishamael/Moridin is omniscient, not Graendal. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 27/01/2010 05:57:20 PM
Which is just as shaky a line of reasoning as before, except with a different perpetrator swapped in. After all, I'm not claiming Graendal is so good that she seems omniscient - but she is subtle and the trail leading to her in this instance is too obvious.

Ishamael/Moridin is good, but he's made more mistakes than Graendal has at this point.
