Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Is Sammael Dead?

Sammael is dead. PoD contains a very definite piece of evidence mentioned casually in conversation between Alanna and Cadsuane: 'He was injured, and then not, but I don't think a sister Healed him.' This proves conclusively that Sammael is dead. Reading the passage, it is obvious that due to the time frame, Alanna is referring to the wounds Rand received fighting Sammael (burning thread through the heel, etc), and that they disappeared without being healed by a sister or through natural healing. The only other way that this could have happened is if Rand balefired Sammael such that his wounds never occured, and Alanna merely remembers them. Therefore RJ was clearing up the matter of Sammael's death, giving us proof of it.

I like this one, injured and then not. Why does she say that she doesn't think a sister healed him? I don't think that the quote is designed to be 100% conclusive, yet I don't have a better explanation at the moment, although is Alanna saying that she thinks that one of the Asha'man healed Rand, this would be my only 'what if' in regards to your theory. Imagine the Aes Sedai loathe for the Asha'man so when she explains it she can't bring herself to say that she 'thinks' that a male healed him so instead she says ' I don't think a sister healed him'. Just seeding some discussion, great quote.
