They don't know it's a dragon Dai Shan of Malkier Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 10:19:11 AM
But that begs the question why is Hawkwing's sword found in a scabbard with the red and gold dragon?


Nobody called the creature on Rand's arms, or on the Dragon Banner, a dragon. IIRC, Rand was wondering if the creature was a dragon or not after seeing the banner a few times, and the same went for his arms. It's essentially a snake with legs and hair that people call a dragon for its association with Rand. Before Rand, the only ones who knew about it were the Aiel, and the only real defeats Hawkwing ever had were against the Aiel, so I doubt he knew about how they marked their clan chiefs.

It was probably from his time in Rhuidean in the glass pillars *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 04:57:58 AM 418 Views
That was my first thought too, though I can't think where the Aiel would encounter it *NM* WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 05:05:13 AM 374 Views
I couldn't say which of the scenes it would be, but it's the only place I could imagine it being Brian - 05/09/2009 05:11:22 AM 808 Views
...when would he have had a sword while in the glass pillars? beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:19:10 AM 752 Views
There were other people around in the past other than Aiel. Brian - 06/09/2009 05:34:26 AM 708 Views
I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM* Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:18:39 AM 371 Views
But he specifically says that it is from his memories and not Lews Therin's *NM* WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 05:20:29 AM 390 Views
Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 05:30:11 AM 376 Views
Good question, I'm not sure, tho if I had to guess I'd say just the scabbard *NM* WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 05:33:08 AM 367 Views
It was the sword CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 775 Views
So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM* Gher - 05/09/2009 06:15:45 AM 371 Views
God I hope not, they are entirely too common. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:21:28 AM 401 Views
It must be... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:37:59 AM 778 Views
Care to elaborate? Fanatic-Templar - 07/09/2009 06:37:14 AM 709 Views
You're right about the sword Brian - 07/09/2009 07:20:22 AM 783 Views
I'd still prefer if it wasn't Brian - 07/09/2009 06:37:19 AM 830 Views
I'm thinking the sword Corwin - 05/09/2009 07:05:27 AM 835 Views

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:28:47 AM 423 Views
I hadn't thought of that WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 06:31:42 AM 779 Views
Re: I hadn't thought of that Mjolner - 08/09/2009 10:59:46 PM 663 Views
My thoughts exactly. The sword is the only part that makes sense as coming from the Prologue. *NM* Artsapat - 06/09/2009 12:09:39 PM 386 Views
Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard DomA - 05/09/2009 08:07:10 AM 913 Views

It's in the Prophecy. Hawking's sword Justice. CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:37:13 AM 851 Views
I like that. Seriana Sedai - 06/09/2009 04:32:16 AM 724 Views
I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too. beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:24:08 AM 771 Views
I like it too, and it begs the question... lilltempest - 06/09/2009 07:37:09 AM 723 Views
