Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Callandor was made after the Breaking. Joel Send a noteboard - 27/11/2009 01:13:02 PM
But Callandor existed, since it was created after the War of Power had caused disruptions in the technical capabilities of the Age of Legends Aes Sedai. So, it seems to me, that Callandor was attuned to Rand because Lews had used it previously during the War, even if it was not his personal weapon.

It and the Stone together. My books are 200 miles from here, but I believe there was discussion of its completion when Rand went to Rhuidean (perhaps they just discussed its disposition, but I can't recall for certain now; been too long. )

Despite Be'lals statements to Rand in TDR, I can't believe swords were used long during the War of the Power. We hear a lot more about shocklances and things like that, and the only time I remember swords discussed as weapons is TDR. Most likely even if Callandor existed before Dragonmount LTT never used it as a weapon, but a Power wrought sword of some kind. If he used a sword he probably didn't use it long before moving on to a more effective weapon even for non-channeling purposes. Very few even among the skilled prefer a blade to a bullet when lives rather than merely art are at stake. If LTT bore a sword long in the war it was almost certainly in the ceremonial capacity they're still worn today.

Didn't Rand see Hawkwing's ghost, summoned by the Horn of Valere? *NM* - 20/11/2009 09:14:35 PM 508 Views
Yes. *NM* - 20/11/2009 09:30:34 PM 444 Views
It can't be Turak's sword as that had a heron on it and Rand's new sword doesn't - 20/11/2009 10:40:24 PM 980 Views
Lews Therin did not wield Callandor (probably). - 20/11/2009 11:02:26 PM 963 Views
No, IIRC he didn't use it when creating the Seal. - 21/11/2009 01:54:41 AM 834 Views

The sword does NOT have a dragon on it - 21/11/2009 02:41:38 PM 980 Views
That's right - 21/11/2009 05:26:01 PM 817 Views
Rand didn't recognize it from LTT's memories though, he said. - 20/11/2009 09:28:51 PM 1014 Views
Very true, but he also wasn't fully integrated with LTTs memories at that time - 20/11/2009 10:36:03 PM 893 Views
Which makes me wonder. What is Hawking fighting with when the Horn of Valere is blown? *NM* - 21/11/2009 12:42:04 AM 405 Views

LTT wasn't wearing the sword in the prologue of EOTW - 21/11/2009 06:37:51 AM 958 Views
There's the false dragon - 21/11/2009 06:58:09 AM 1004 Views
That is actually a pretty good theory.... interesting - 21/11/2009 03:28:30 PM 793 Views

I don't see why he needed another sword - 21/11/2009 02:52:13 AM 1003 Views
Not sure... - 21/11/2009 03:18:44 PM 833 Views
