You're right about the sword Brian Send a noteboard - 07/09/2009 07:20:22 AM
I know I confess this to my eternal shame, but I'm not that knowledgeable about Arthurian mythology. I thought his sword was the one he pulled from the Stone (that is, Callandor)?

Callandor refers to Caliburn, which later became Excalibur. Arthur later received a scabbard which possessed magical properties, most commonly protecting him from harm in battle, or not bleeding from wounds. (The times in all of this are fairly relative, there is just so much Arthurian mythology that it's impossible to give a unified timeline, so I'm giving a most common scenario)

In most of the later legends Morgan ends up stealing the scabbard and it is used against Arthur in battle. Nimue comes and saves the day, and eventually the scabbard is lost, and once it's lost never found again.

It was probably from his time in Rhuidean in the glass pillars *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 04:57:58 AM 534 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 445 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 953 Views
...when would he have had a sword while in the glass pillars? beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:19:10 AM 896 Views
There were other people around in the past other than Aiel. Brian - 06/09/2009 05:34:26 AM 853 Views
I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM* Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:18:39 AM 465 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 466 Views
Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 05:30:11 AM 457 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 452 Views
It was the sword CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:21:55 AM 942 Views
So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM* Gher - 05/09/2009 06:15:45 AM 445 Views
God I hope not, they are entirely too common. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:21:28 AM 479 Views

I'd still prefer if it wasn't Brian - 07/09/2009 06:37:19 AM 983 Views

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 06:28:47 AM 489 Views
I hadn't thought of that WolfBro 87 - 05/09/2009 06:31:42 AM 962 Views
Re: I hadn't thought of that Mjolner - 08/09/2009 10:59:46 PM 802 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 452 Views
Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard DomA - 05/09/2009 08:07:10 AM 1128 Views

It's in the Prophecy. Hawking's sword Justice. CupofDice - 06/09/2009 12:37:13 AM 1036 Views
I like that. Seriana Sedai - 06/09/2009 04:32:16 AM 871 Views
I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too. beetnemesis - 06/09/2009 05:24:08 AM 952 Views
I like it too, and it begs the question... lilltempest - 06/09/2009 07:37:09 AM 869 Views
I think you might be correct. AliasRY - 06/09/2009 07:45:17 AM 910 Views
