Do we KNOW that The False Dragon's sword was made from a copy of LTT's sword? Or is that speculation on your part. Also, I don't have any of my books with me. But, could that have been something he found on one of his possible lives from when he traveled the portal stone the first time?

Oh and lastly, DomA, are you French? You mentioned something about the equivalent word in French.


I'm not French. French is my native language, though.

And yes, this is speculation, this is why it's a theory. There's no description of False Dragon sword, nor even much of Justice (which is 'great' and 'shiny, and that's all) in the books. All we know about Amalasan's paraphernalia is that he used what is called the 'Banner of the Light' nowadays, ie: the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. Logain used that too. Taim adopted the Dragon itself. It's very suggestive, however, that a false Dragon might have used the serpent-with-legs had he known about it. And it's possible he did - scholars-historians know this was the sigil on LTT's banner. Moiraine, for instance, recognized it for what it was the second she saw it. Amalasan is just the most likely false Dragon, and as he fought Hawkwing, this would explain nicely why Rand finds it's a big coincidence he gets this sword now, as he is facing Hawkwing's heir.

For the rest, it's just hard to imagine anyone but a false Dragon would have used this sigil 'centuries ago'. The bit about a replica is derived from the the fact Rand specified it's odd it's him who recognized the sword, that it didn't come from LTT's memories. This implies LTT could have could have recognized the sword too, otherwise there's nothing "odd" in the fact recognition came from Rand and not him... How could LTT recognize something mere centuries old? This suggests this sword looks like another much older.

I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:18:39 AM 367 Views
But he specifically says that it is from his memories and not Lews Therin's *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:20:29 AM 386 Views
Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:30:11 AM 372 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 362 Views
It was the sword - 06/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 764 Views
So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:15:45 AM 368 Views
God I hope not, they are entirely too common. *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:21:28 AM 396 Views
It must be... - 07/09/2009 04:37:59 AM 768 Views

You're right about the sword - 07/09/2009 07:20:22 AM 773 Views
I'd still prefer if it wasn't - 07/09/2009 06:37:19 AM 818 Views

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue. *NM* - 05/09/2009 06:28:47 AM 419 Views

Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard - 05/09/2009 08:07:10 AM 902 Views
