I'm doing a re-read before the next book comes out, trying to analyse the books a little more and to understand the WOT-world better.
Currently, I'm reading tGH and have a couple of questions concerning the Horn of Valere and the Heroes.
First, do we know what Arthur Hawking means when he says something like: "You are here. Do you have the banner?", "We have come to the Horn, but we must follow the banner and the Dragon." ?
We don't. Presumably that is some long forgotten fact or datum lost to the people of the current age and a failsafe built in to prevent them from being misused. Also, presumably, when the Horn is sounded by someone thinking of salvation and not glory in between the lives of the Dragon, he is among them, so they can follow him, rather than require he accompany the hornsounder. It also might be a condition for certain times and eras, such as the current apocalyptic situation.Currently, I'm reading tGH and have a couple of questions concerning the Horn of Valere and the Heroes.

Earlier in the books (can't remember exactly where) Moraine said that the Heroes will follow whoever that use the Horn, whether it is Lightfriend or Darkfriend. But as Hawking puts it, they will always follow the Dragon if he's around, even if he fights for the light and it is a Darkfriend that blew it.
This means Moraine was wrong, right?
She usually was. This means Moraine was wrong, right?
Another question, at the battle of Falme, why was there a connection between Rands fight with Ishamael and the Heroes fight with the Seanchan? Don't understand this, but maybe I have missed something really important.
Just one of those destiny/ta'veren things. English isn't my mother language, so excuse me for spelling wrong or using bad grammar. 
I'm blerk your spelling and grammar are mimsey and outgrabe. Don't worry or get your borrogroves in a twist.

Offtopic: Nice way to illustrate that we get what he means regardless of native language. I like it. *NM*
