probably, but that doesn't make a difference. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM
because according to Rand that's how long it's been "largely forgotten"


Or so Rand's been told by possibly Compelled people.


I'm sure he didn't bother to warn them not to get close to her, and since Nynaeve can so easily detect Graendal's compulsion he wouldn't have thought to have them checked over either... not to mention sending a very obvious message to Granedal that he knows where she is!


He didn't use the scouts to find the place. He used them to scout already found place.

A Force of Light

On the map, there was a black ink mark at the edge of a small lake to the southeast. Rand had placed it there the morning after Kerb died. It marked Natrin's Barrow.

"It was a fort, once," Rand said absently.

"The city where Graendal is hiding?" Min said, walking up beside him.

He shook his head. "It's not a city. I've sent scouts. It's just a solitary structure, built long ago to watch the Mountains of Mist and guard against incursion through the passes by Manetheren. It hasn't been used for military purposes since the Trolloc Wars; there's hardly need to worry about invasion from Two Rivers people who don't even remember the name Manetheren."

Within a few hours he discovered where it was (Kerb died late that night), sent scouts and did a little recon ... he clearly didn't have time to interview more than a handful of people about the place... I'd guess a librarian who never went anywhere near Graendal, gave him most of the information.

Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 03:34:43 PM 1801 Views
I brought all this up before.. fionwe1987 - 13/02/2010 04:52:39 PM 717 Views
Glad it's been brought up before darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 04:57:11 PM 656 Views

I don't see problems Skeeve the Great - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 716 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian beetnemesis - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 663 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 584 Views
"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM 671 Views
I don't think so. Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 627 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 531 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 588 Views

More... Kieran - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 642 Views
Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM* everynametaken - 14/02/2010 12:22:27 AM 270 Views
seems like pretty big differences darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 555 Views
Not really. everynametaken - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 536 Views
it's Maria's job to find these things darius_sedai - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM 559 Views
Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 736 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 646 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 610 Views
Any number of things are possible darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 553 Views
You don't get it. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 532 Views
Go re-read it... I said there are discrepancies between what Sammael said and what Rand said darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:54:43 PM 632 Views
There aren't, really. DomA - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 513 Views
so you think a kid who has likely never even seen a map knows the name of a castle darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 10:09:55 PM 627 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name Voscaia Sedai - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 619 Views

She's dead, people need to move on. *NM* Libby - 14/02/2010 07:34:31 AM 295 Views
I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:09:53 PM 559 Views
Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone. Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 04:48:09 PM 571 Views
This from you? HA! darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 565 Views
Look, Lord Haart - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 628 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 555 Views
The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long... Libby - 15/02/2010 08:59:24 PM 607 Views
I'm glad... Jeordam - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 602 Views
I'm with you on her probably being dead only because it's so close to the end *NM* darius_sedai - 16/02/2010 01:30:42 AM 278 Views
Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved? Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 06:42:37 AM 634 Views

The quote is in my original post! darius_sedai - 23/02/2010 12:30:14 PM 529 Views
Yes; but those pieces of evidence basically separate the 2 schools of thought on her "death scene" *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/02/2010 03:59:41 PM 264 Views
