It is near the end in a Min PoV. RabidWombat Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 05:58:01 AM
Not that I think you're wrong, but where was it said the sword was found under the sea? Can you tell me which chapter?

I've seen people say this on other boards too, but never came across it in my read. Either I'm totally dense, or the Dark One has tampered with my book!


It is near the end in a Min PoV. It was found submerged beneath a statue. Personally, I don't think it was a sea. This is largely due to a mythological reference to Excalibur. There are two stories about how King Artur found Excalibur; the first is the sword in the stone and the second is that King Artur obtained it from the Lady of the Lake. This second tale has Excalibur found later in King Artur's career and its scabard has magical properties as well. Interestingly enough, Excalibur was marked on both sides with a griffin instead of a dragon.

You're saying everything must be either literal or metaphoric? Marshall - 09/11/2009 02:35:38 AM 966 Views

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 457 Views

Obviously?? Maybe you could explain further as it isn't obvious to me Guava - 09/11/2009 05:01:42 AM 1013 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 483 Views
Maybe I'm stupid, but why would Hawkwing have been using Lews Therin's sword? Guava - 09/11/2009 06:40:41 PM 881 Views
Good luck finding Lews Therin with a sword Sidious - 09/11/2009 07:02:40 PM 881 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 1192 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 409 Views
Plus, I don't remember it in the description. Mjolner - 09/11/2009 01:21:09 PM 894 Views
