I think it is likely that when "Death" took Asmodean, it was Morridin who removed him from Rhuidian using the True Power. Asmodean probably recognized him, and knew he was finished bythe sa' in Morridin's eyes. Use of the True Power would not have been detected, nor would it have set off any traps Rand may have laid. Additionally, I don't think Asmodean is dead. I think he occupies the secondmind trap worn by Morridin. The DO has shown that he rewards those who help out Rand and his cohorts with this fate (see Moghidien), so why notdo the same for the man who taught the Dragon himself. I feel this way primarily because it seems highly unlikely that the DO would destroy one of his chosen, or even let them stay dead (see Ishamael/Osan'gar and Beidamon/Aran'gar(again, excuse the spelling). I also think, on a side note, that Morridin was the one who helped Rand in Shadar Logoth. Rand did not feel Saidin or Saidar being weaved for Balefire because it was the True Power. And when their balefires touched, the reaction was akin to a sci-fi meeting of matter and antimatter. Just a thought.
