Re: Of course he had one... Mjolner Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 07:36:13 PM

Not that I can recall.


Remember Be'lal's dialogue about the fact they took a sport and turned it into a martial art again, and Sammael's scar.



Be'lal stated that they took the tame art of swordplay and made it into a deadly art. Sammael was a master of the tame form of the game. Be'lal was merely reacting to the fact that Rand had a sword, and so he channeled his own one.

There is no evidence that Sammael's scar was from a sword. In all likelihood Sammael received it in a One Power duel with Lews Therin, and any number of weaves could have done that. Saying that Sammael's scar came from a sword is like saying that Rand's hand was chopped off by Semirhage.

I don't think it's unlikely that Lews Therin had a sword, but there's no proof that he did. There's no evidence from past visions or text that Aes Sedai in the AOL had swords. I find it difficult to believe that Lews Therin was armed with a sword, but his own men had shocklances.


Well, you have a point. However, we don't know if there was a one power way to negate shocklances. Plus if the idea of killing with a SWORD was so novel they have to invent it, then I'm willing to bet they didn't have shocklances just lying around on the first day of hostilities... they probably started with swords and worked their way to shock lances...

Obviously?? Maybe you could explain further as it isn't obvious to me Guava - 09/11/2009 05:01:42 AM 969 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 468 Views
Maybe I'm stupid, but why would Hawkwing have been using Lews Therin's sword? Guava - 09/11/2009 06:40:41 PM 851 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 1146 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 396 Views
