One idea might be to use Callandor to bait Shaidar Haran to use it to break Shai'tan's prison. My guess is that Shai'tan might try to enter Creation (ie: break his prison) by passing through Callandor. Perhaps he would have to release his grip on the Bore to do that, and the interaction of the three ta'veren being One might give enough to the Wheel to "heal reality", that is to reknit the Pattern without this hole in it. The way to destroy Callandor, where part of Shai'tan would be trapped, would be the SL taint, ie: Fain. He and the sword would annihilitate one another, as happened with Mashadar and the Taint in WH.

There are tons of possibilities, really, but it seems to me almost certain that if Callandor isn't a red herring and will be used at SG, it won't be to provide Rand with a powerful circle of three.


Interesting idea. I've had idle thoughts about the '3 become 1' comment meaning the ta'veren, but haven't really come across/developed a coherent theory. I wonder if it's possible that the battle, and the sealing, will have to take place in TAR... maybe something to do with the different plane of existence of TAR will allow Rand to affect the Bore differently than LTT did in the 'real' world. Perhaps that would explain the '3 become 1' thing and also be the second time that Rand needs Perrin, since he can make a gateway to TAR, but Perrin has much better control over it and so can maybe hold off Fain/the DO somehow, with the help of wolves and shit like that.

I dunno, but that got the gears spinning in my head.

seems like a question of fate vs. free will - 20/11/2010 10:40:51 PM 689 Views
The pattern quite clearly does like throwing it's weight around - 20/11/2010 10:54:59 PM 616 Views

I don't believe Callandor existed during the War of Power - 20/11/2010 11:36:44 PM 622 Views
