it kind of happens off screen for Carlinya
We don't know the exact killer yet, but its one of that attacking group.
Akeis that is an awful paragraph, I can barely work out what your trying to say.
Whose death are you referring to there?
As for how far back Natrins Barrow burned back, according to Sanderson its about the following:
personally I think he's under estimated the relative strength of the Choedan Kal there, but anyway I don't think anyone killed in that balefire strike was up to much in the week beforehand that would be significant to undo.
"Report!" Egwene demanded.
"Shevan and Carlinya are dead, Mother," Saerin said grimly. The brusque Brown was panting.
Egwene cursed. "What happened?"
"We were in the middle of our ploy, having a discussion about a fake plot to bring peace to Arad Doman, as you'd ordered. And then
Fire," Morvrin said, shivering. "Blasting through the walls. Women channeling, several with incredible Power. I saw Alviarin there. Others, too."

Interview: Oct 27th, 2009
BYU Stormleader Dinner - Matt Hatch (Verbatim)
Matt Hatch
We know that in the Age of Legends that the Forsaken/Chosen, everyone agreed to stop using balefire because of its effects on the Pattern. Is it unrealistic then to say that a great amount of power could burn someone’s thread back a year or six months? Is that an unrealistic thing to say that there is enough power available to either one or multiple people to burn somebody back that far?
Brandon Sanderson
I see what you are getting at you are trying to figure out if killed Graendal with a whole lot of balefire would bring Asmodean back to life.
MATT HATCH
...like that could ever happen...
BRANDON SANDERSON
That’s what you are digging for isn’t it?
MATT HATCH
Let’s say, if a Forsaken was responsible for killing another Forsaken...
BRANDON SANDERSON
Uh huh...
MATT HATCH
And said Forsaken was balefired...
BRANDON SANDERSON
You are under the assumption...You are trying to figure out who killed Asmodean again. That’s what you are trying to do and I’m not going to get caught and let you know...
MATT HATCH
It’s a legit question...and I’m sure whatever is said at this table stays at this table...
BRANDON SANDERSON
I’m sure, the leader of Theoryland and the guy taping this... [much laughter] Let’s divorce it. Rand balefires Rahvin as hardcore as he could and Rand is one of the most powerful people to live and he got us—what have you determined?—from the lightning killing Mat until balefire killed Rahvin, I’d guess fifteen minutes.
MATT HATCH
Well, he at least got us fifteen minutes. We don’t know how far back, we just know up to that moment.
BRANDON SANDERSON
Well, we do know because if it had been too much further than that we would have noticed a lot of discrepancies in the Pattern from things he’d done...
MATT HATCH
Let’s say thirty minutes to an hour, at the most...
BRANDON SANDERSON
Alright, thirty minutes to an hour. Okay, let’s say the Choedan Kal amplifies his abilities 100-fold...let’s say it’s a 100 times more powerful than Rand. That’s giving us, lets say he got an hour, we’ve got four days, from the most powerful, one of the most powerful sa’angreal ever created. I think it is unrealistic to assume you can get back a year, but that’s not saying it is impossible. I think that if you did that to the Pattern the ramifications would be so dramatic you’d see the Pattern unraveling hardcore at that point, it’s like balefiring an entire city. When I first read that guess I just laughed, I’m like guys c’mon lets run the math on this.
MATT HATCH
Like I said to Jennifer, it is my job at Theoryland to entertain these ideas.
BRANDON SANDERSON
Yes it is, it is your job to entertain them. But in the terms of Mythbusters let’s go ahead and call that one “Busted” in the realistic world. I’ve got to give you at least something, so I’ll at least give you that...If it were possible to do things like that, we’d have the Dark One just going and balefiring you know Tam so Rand never gets picked up off the mountain. [...] I think it is more loose guidelines than it is a formula.
personally I think he's under estimated the relative strength of the Choedan Kal there, but anyway I don't think anyone killed in that balefire strike was up to much in the week beforehand that would be significant to undo.
