The sword struck me as a replacement for the Dragon Sceptre, which was destroyed by Semirhage in the previous scene. Where the Dragon Sceptre was a Seanchan weapon that had been aimed at Rand, if you are correct, the sword would be the opposite weapon, and one that 'looked as if it had been designed speci?cally for Rand'.
Still, Rand already has Laman's blade which Aviendha gifted him, and Callandor, the Sword that is not a Sword... what does he need with another one? If he keeps amassing swords, I'll have to expect a post from you examining the significance of each one, as you do for horses, for instance

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

That was my first thought too, though I can't think where the Aiel would encounter it *NM*

I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM*

But he specifically says that it is from his memories and not Lews Therin's *NM*

Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM*

Good question, I'm not sure, tho if I had to guess I'd say just the scabbard *NM*

So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM*

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue.

My thoughts exactly. The sword is the only part that makes sense as coming from the Prologue. *NM*

Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard

I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too.

I thought the great sword means it is a very long two-handed sword.
