! __Graendal__ POV

[Graendal] visits [Sammael] in [Illian|Illian (Country)]. [Sammael] has an [Age of Legends] type room set up complete with [air exchanger|Age of Legends Items], [glowbulbs|Age of Legends Items], music box, art works such as [Ceran Tol]'s "Tempo of Infinity" and a [zara|Age of Legends Items] board. [Sammael] admits that all the stuff came from [stasis box]. She admits that she also found one, but it only contained junk and streith. She is convinced that [Sammael]'s contained something else.[1] [Aginor] made [cafar], [jumara] and the %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%%. There are [jumara] loose in the [Blight] where they are known as [Worms|Jumara]. [Graendal] nearly had fatal experience with one of [Aginor]'s creations. [Sammael] seems happy and smiling. [Sammael] says he is about to get a cache of %%ot [angreal|Angreal]%%.[2] He claims he has a truce with [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Graendal] heard that [Rand|Rand alThor] killed his messenger.[3] [Sammael] says the way [Andris] died gave him the answer.[4] [Graendal] responds that she has seen his army in [Tear|Tear (Country)].[3] Two of her spies told her he wants to kill [Sammael] because [Sammael] killed some [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear].[3] [Sammael] seems truly puzzled by this concept. A [cosa|Age of Legends Creatures] was a small animal from the [Age of Legends]. He says he plans to stand aside while [Rand|Rand alThor] takes out all the other [Chosen|Forsaken], including her. He says he knows what [Demandred] is doing, but not where he is hiding. He asks her where [Demandred], [Mesaana], [Semirhage], [Asmodean], [Lanfear] and [Moghedien] are. She says [Asmodean] and [Lanfear] are dead.[5] [Moghedien] probably is, too. [Mesaana] is in the [White Tower]. She does not know about [Demandred] and [Semirhage]. She is angry and shamed at being forced to work with him, but she is afraid to face [Rand|Rand alThor] directly after he took out [Ishamael] and [Rahvin]. She thinks the [Great Lord|ShaiTan] has promised to make [Sammael] [Nae'blis|Forsaken]. He tells her to find the others.

! __Sammael__ POV

After [Graendal], leaves [Sammael] relaxes. His jaw aches from holding that false smile. He thinks he is manipulating her, that she does not know his real purpose. He now knows [Mesaana] is in the [White Tower]. He plans to be the only one left on Day of Return to fight the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor].[6]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] The %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%%?
\\[#2] This must be the stash in [Ebou Dar].
\\[#3] So [Graendal] has a spy close to [Rand|Rand alThor] and keeps tabs on his army.
\\[#4] [Rand|Rand alThor]'s answer was no truce with the [Shadow|Creator]. ([LoC,Ch16]) Is [Sammael] lying or did he misinterpret his emissary's death? See the discussion in the [FAQ, Section 1.1.4|WoTFAQ:node/34.html].
\\[#5] This blunt assertion that [Asmodean] is dead is used by many in the argument that she killed him.
\\[#6] What is his plan, and has he really fooled [Graendal]?
