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 451 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 394 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 846 Views
...when would he have had a sword while in the glass pillars? beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:19:10 AM 787 Views
There were other people around in the past other than Aiel. Brian - 06/09/2009 05:34:26 AM 744 Views
I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM* Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:18:39 AM 392 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 408 Views
Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 05:30:11 AM 396 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 389 Views
It was the sword CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 809 Views
So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM* Gher - 05/09/2009 06:15:45 AM 387 Views
God I hope not, they are entirely too common. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:21:28 AM 419 Views
It must be... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:37:59 AM 814 Views
Care to elaborate? Fanatic-Templar - 07/09/2009 06:37:14 AM 745 Views
You're right about the sword Brian - 07/09/2009 07:20:22 AM 814 Views
I'd still prefer if it wasn't Brian - 07/09/2009 06:37:19 AM 865 Views
I'm thinking the sword Corwin - 05/09/2009 07:05:27 AM 872 Views

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:28:47 AM 441 Views
I hadn't thought of that WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 06:31:42 AM 825 Views
Re: I hadn't thought of that Mjolner - 08/09/2009 10:59:46 PM 701 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 406 Views
Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard DomA - 05/09/2009 08:07:10 AM 952 Views

It's in the Prophecy. Hawking's sword Justice. CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:37:13 AM 888 Views
I like that. Seriana Sedai - 06/09/2009 04:32:16 AM 757 Views
I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too. beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:24:08 AM 806 Views
I like it too, and it begs the question... lilltempest - 06/09/2009 07:37:09 AM 755 Views
