I always assumed he had to use Callandor to "sheathe the sword"

Callandor being "the sword that is not a sword", I'm assuming it's a way to keep Rand alive as a last resort. It could even be that part of what made him the Dragon Reborn was that part of Lews Therin's life was still in Callandor - when did Rand start hearing the voices, anyway?
Rand runs himself through with Callandor to survive.
And my God you go on about this series.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Wow, I never realized how much King Arthur there was in WoT.

Then (I'm not sure how to be both accurate and gentle) you didn't pay attention, & do NOT rule WoT.

Right; I've got a bad habit of ascribing that Foretelling to Alivia rather than Nicola.

Rand's "death" might serve to slap some sense into the senseless, arrogant, power-mongers...

There's an Aravine around Faile. A woman, though... *NM*

There doesn't appear to be much more connection than that to Agravaine/Morgase.
