I like this theory.... Gher Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 08:56:13 PM
...by different descriptions (ie: heron-mark) which I would have to go back and check on, but I think the simplest explanation is that it's the former sword of High Lord Turak.

See link for my previous theory on this, and adding in new information from tGS that wasn't available at that time, it still makes sense.

However I can't recall if Turak's sword was ever noted to have a heron...I think it was, actually So maybe this is all moot.



I like this one a lot. And it could have been Luthair Hawking's sword, passed down through the royal family all this time.

I totally agree with your idea of a Seanchan prophecy... It may have something to do with - 12/11/2009 08:20:46 PM 742 Views
It would be ironical... - 12/11/2009 08:38:20 PM 657 Views
Perhaps it can be easily refuted... - 12/11/2009 06:41:18 PM 749 Views

It is a good thought, but I don't think Turak's sword applies here - 12/11/2009 10:56:15 PM 575 Views
