This seems like a perfect example of foreshadowing. While you are right that Aran'gar implies that she killed her allies, if we just take this quote, it exactly describes Graendal's death before it happened.


The only parallel between Aran'gar's statement and Graendal's death was that she died. Aran'gar is clearly stating that she allied with people in the War of Power and then killed them later when she'd used them. That has absolutely nothing to do with Graendal being balefired by her arch-enemy, the Dragon Reborn. Saying that Aran'gar is foreshadowing Graendal's death is as true as saying that Sammael foreshadowed Lanfear's death when he said he'd kill her.

Hmmm, I don't think so. I think it may be indicative of his own end, though. - 17/03/2010 05:11:18 PM 403 Views

Wait, have I read this passage wrong?? - 17/03/2010 06:07:31 PM 331 Views
No, Aran'gar muses about her own alliances. *NM* - 17/03/2010 06:24:35 PM 132 Views
That was my interpretation as well, when I read it in the book. *NM* - 18/03/2010 09:01:01 PM 114 Views
I agree *NM* - 17/03/2010 06:22:48 PM 126 Views
I don't really see "my fellow bad guys are going to die" as being terribly prophetic - 17/03/2010 06:24:32 PM 316 Views

Arangar's allies die because she kills them, not because of some random twists of fate... - 17/03/2010 08:18:24 PM 334 Views
I disagree... - 17/03/2010 08:50:31 PM 285 Views
If you're referring to the reference to "those who found graves", then it fits most Forsaken deaths - 17/03/2010 09:15:03 PM 275 Views

It doesn't fit with Graendal's demise enough to have been hinting at it - 18/03/2010 03:45:35 AM 343 Views
