You're right about the sword Brian Send a noteboard - 07/09/2009 07:20:22 AM
I know I confess this to my eternal shame, but I'm not that knowledgeable about Arthurian mythology. I thought his sword was the one he pulled from the Stone (that is, Callandor)?

Callandor refers to Caliburn, which later became Excalibur. Arthur later received a scabbard which possessed magical properties, most commonly protecting him from harm in battle, or not bleeding from wounds. (The times in all of this are fairly relative, there is just so much Arthurian mythology that it's impossible to give a unified timeline, so I'm giving a most common scenario)

In most of the later legends Morgan ends up stealing the scabbard and it is used against Arthur in battle. Nimue comes and saves the day, and eventually the scabbard is lost, and once it's lost never found again.

I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:18:39 AM 328 Views
But he specifically says that it is from his memories and not Lews Therin's *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:20:29 AM 349 Views
Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:30:11 AM 335 Views
Good question, I'm not sure, tho if I had to guess I'd say just the scabbard *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:33:08 AM 329 Views
It was the sword - 06/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 667 Views
So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:15:45 AM 330 Views
God I hope not, they are entirely too common. *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:21:28 AM 351 Views

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue. *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:28:47 AM 376 Views

Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard - 05/09/2009 08:07:10 AM 810 Views

I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too. - 06/09/2009 05:24:08 AM 664 Views
I like it too, and it begs the question... - 06/09/2009 07:37:09 AM 624 Views
