You're saying everything must be either literal or metaphoric? Marshall Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 02:35:38 AM
That's absolutely not the case in the Wheel of Time series. The prophecies mention the Eye of the World, they mention Shaidar Haran, they mention the Seals, they mention the Crown of Swords. It's very often that the Karaethon Cycle refers to literal objects. It also refers to events metaphorically as well. People aren't "picking and choosing" which they prefer--they're attempting to decipher to what exactly the Prophecies refer.

Given that Rand has somehow acquired a sword that's familiar to him, but not in this life, and that the prophecies mention the sword of justice, and that Paendrag's sword was called Justice, I think this interpretation fits rather nicely.

That's the point...the sun was not in the right place, taking into account the location he traveled *NM* Marshall - 09/11/2009 03:34:24 AM 464 Views

Obviously?? Maybe you could explain further as it isn't obvious to me Guava - 09/11/2009 05:01:42 AM 1031 Views
Rand saw it when the Horn of Valere was blown in book 2 and the ghost of Hawkwing had it *NM* Iceman - 09/11/2009 02:08:50 PM 493 Views
Maybe I'm stupid, but why would Hawkwing have been using Lews Therin's sword? Guava - 09/11/2009 06:40:41 PM 905 Views
Good luck finding Lews Therin with a sword Sidious - 09/11/2009 07:02:40 PM 903 Views

Wouldn't Lews Therin's sword be buried under Dragonmount? And didn't Rand say it was his own memory? Matrimony Cauthon - 09/11/2009 08:05:40 AM 1224 Views
I would bet he tossed it in disgust after the war of power was over. *NM* Mjolner - 09/11/2009 01:19:09 PM 419 Views
