Will Demandred betray Moridin?

[dhammett11]

the woman is clearly Cyndane or somebody impersonating her (very unlikely IMO, not under Moridin's nose). The physical description fits her exactly, she refers to Rand as Lews Therin at one point and she is wearing Moridin's colors. Moggy no longer does after getting her mindtrap back from Moridin and neither does Hessalam.

 

OK, just went back and read Slayer's POV again and noted his comment that the woman was "pretty". Looks like i r dumb. That totally was Cyndane!...

Or heffalump saidaring herself to look pretty... Just playing devil's advocate

[TootThatHorn]

I just figure as beautiful as Lanfear was, she wouldn't be satisfied with anything less, hence grimacing at her reflection. She is nasty, look what she did when she heard Rand had slept with someone when she shook wha'ts his face's skin off like a dirty towel. Fits in with what she told Slayer I think. It's speculation now, so till it's proven anyone is right, but that's my guess.

during the writing process, Brandon posted how he had just written a scene where a member of the Forsaken was impersonating another one. I agree that in this particular scene it was probably Cyndane but it's just something to think about.

[herid]

yes, I've seen that quote but I don't believe he meant that scene.

Also, for A Memory of Light, I did finish the early-book material I'd left for later, and am back at the ending. My shirt is very appropriate today.

Hm... I haven't given any good A Memory of Light teases today, have I? Well, right now, one of the Forsaken is wearing the image of another Forsaken.

this suggests that the scene in question is from much later.

also, as I mentioned, the action in the prologue scene takes place right under Moridin's nose. Both Moggy and Graendal are terrified of Moridin and I don't see any of them having the guts to do it with him so close.

 

Lastly, BS said that pretty much the entire Isam scene in the prologue was written by RJ.

[Barid Bel Medar]

Consider that the Isam PoV was meant for the original aMoL prologue, which would have been right after the events of KoD.

 

The Slayer/Graendal/Perrin arc was largely developed by Brandon.

 

Now this doesn't discount Graeffelump completely. but the evidence is far less compelling with this in mind.

[herid]

@Barid sorry, was this in reply to my post? I'm confused as it seems unrelated. BTW, what do you mean by Graeffelump?

[Barid Bel Medar]

It wasn't directed exactly at you, but the conversation of "who was the Forsaken to order Isam"

 

Also Graeffelump = Graendal in her new body.

 

Thus, Graendal wouldn't have been transmigrated into her new body at the time.

 

Graendal wouldn't really have cause to hate Rand THAT much. Only after the balefire incident and ruining her plans she had reason.

 

As of the end of KoD, Graendal is pretty much nonchalant about Rand.

[herid]

got you. yes, that makes Graendal pretending to be Cyndane to order Isam even less likely.

i remember hearing RJ wrote it, but how do we know it was supposed to be in the original prologue and not another chapter?

Graendal's hatred of Rand could easily have reached new heights after her punishment a la Shadar Haran. Jus sayin

you misunderstand Barid's point. AMOL was originally intended to be just one book by RJ. When BS decided to split it in three books he took three scenes already written by RJ for the prologue and put one each in the prologues of tGS, TOM and AMOL. BS mentioned in interviews that those scenes are the borderlander farmer scene from tGS, the borderlander watchtower scene from ToM and the Isam scene from AMOL. What this means is that the Isam scene as written by RJ was supposed to follow immediately after the end of the events of KOD. Graendal was still Graendal then, she was not punished by SH and she had had no direct confrontations with Rand.
