Where does it say it was found in water? guttering flame Send a noteboard - 18/11/2009 09:36:52 AM
There is nothing like a good theory war! I like well-formed arguments, even if they demolish my own arguments in the process.


"And just to be argumentative again. :) The Second Oath, (the one against making a weapon), was the first oath adopted after the War of Shadow, according to the BWB, page 213. Any Power-wrought sword would be several thousand years old, unless there were other channelers out there producing them that we don't know about. ;)"

My theory was that Artur Hawking was using Lews Therin's sword and calling it Justice. This theory fits all the facts, most notably that Rand notes the sword is hundreds of years old and that he last remembered it from Falme.

It is just a theory-- I can't wait to see why Sanderson is holding back his explanation for what Rand's sword really is.


Same sword, used by one ta'veren per era, only to be lost and then found again and again at just the right time....

That it was found in water, certainly gives it some semblance to Excalibur and the Lady of the Lake. (I believe Dominic pointed that out somewhere. I don't want to make it sound like I'm taking credit for repeating it.)


Or is it something BS said in an interview? I'm not sure how important this sword is going to be anyway.

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 973 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 870 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3030 Views

If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 747 Views
I don't think... - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 591 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1108 Views
Difficult... - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 785 Views

I think he mis-spoke just a bit - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 594 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 371 Views

It almost has to be Justice - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 664 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 465 Views
But here's the thing.... - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 684 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 823 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 753 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 370 Views
