Some events have so many misdirects that it's hard to see the truth when it's revealed
A perfect example is the shadowspawn attack on the Stone of Tear.
While Rand was talking with Lanfear in The Stone they're interrupted by the beginning of the attack sent by Sammael.
During the fight, Rand gets separated and is caught off guard by a Trollock. Then saved by a another Trollock. The first sign that there are two Shadowspawn armies, who are fighting against each other. One trying to kill Rand, the other to protect him.
Lanfear shows up again, berating him for forgetting about Callendor. Rand asks if she sent the Trollocks who are protecting him, which she basically confirms by saying she can't confirm because she doesn't want him getting dependant on her. And that she can't ever be seen openly helping him.
It's reinforced when Sammael and Greandal meet to discuss the other Foresaken, how it was obviously Lanfear protecting him.
[Lord Of Chaos Events] >!It's not until later in book 6 that we get the real story. It was Semirhage who sent the 2nd Trollock army. But, here's the real kicker... Not due to her own scheming. She was commanded by The Dark Lord himself! Shaitan protected Rand from Sammael. And other than Semirhage, none of the Foresaken ever knew!<
What other reveals exist like this? Where basically all the characters and we the audience "know" what happened. But the truth is revealed later. And so subtly that basically everyone misses it on the first read-through?
