But here's the thing.... Light in the Night Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM
See this quote... Rand saw this sword from his own memories from the last time he was in Falme. We know that the sword is not Turak's sword (it doesn't have a heron), therefore it has to be a sword he saw from one of the heroes of the horn.

"Rand reach down touching the sword he wore at his waist. It was the curved one, with the scabbard of black, painted with the twisting dragon, red and gold. For more reasons than one, it made him think of the last time he had been in Falme. "

I think Sanderson will not verify the sword because it may have more history than just being Justice. We know Rand's new sword is power-wrought from Min's PoV. This means it was made in the Age of Legends. Since it has a dragon scabbard it was most likely used either by Lews Therin or one of his closely trusted associates.

There is alot of history to this sword--- I don't think Sanderson wants to ruin the surprise just yet.


If the sword was given to Rand in the scabbard they found it with, then this implies it isn't Justice. AH's sigil was a Hawk, and I would venture to say his scabbard would be more likely to have that on it than a dragon.

As for Rand saying it reminded him of the last time he was in Falme, well, he ended up appearing in the sky, proclaiming for all the world, that the Dragon had been reborn, and, he used a similar sword to fight Ishamael with. (Those are two reasons right there.)
Where once was Shadow
Now reigns Light
Darkness fades
Into the Night

I made the switch!

my Q&A and time spent with Brandon Sanderson kcf - 17/11/2009 04:23:32 PM 2389 Views
Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! Etzel - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 1251 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 1235 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3314 Views
Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 06:02:26 PM 1821 Views
I'm just reporting on the discussion kcf - 17/11/2009 09:04:56 PM 1060 Views
I asked Brandon to clarify last night in Pasadena about Cyndane rhiane - 18/11/2009 05:22:14 PM 1033 Views
Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:42:51 PM 987 Views
That means, though Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:48:15 PM 922 Views
I've started a new thread, giving the new, DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list. Yay!!! *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:58:03 PM 508 Views
Re: Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... rhiane - 18/11/2009 09:27:06 PM 1133 Views
Thanks! Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:50:35 PM 983 Views
That doesn't crush the Be'lal theories. rAndy aL - 19/11/2009 01:13:32 AM 896 Views
trust me, it does kcf - 19/11/2009 04:22:47 AM 942 Views
I apparently have to Log In to read this. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:33:03 PM 1285 Views
You don't need the email confirmation! Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:36:40 PM 1157 Views
Hm. I could have sworn I saw something about an email confirmation. Thanks. *NM* Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:38:14 PM 526 Views
Naw how about you quote it for us in a new post *NM* Lord o' Salv - 18/11/2009 12:18:52 AM 563 Views
The strength comparisons don't make sense... Shannow - 17/11/2009 06:26:05 PM 1172 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Lordling - 17/11/2009 06:55:39 PM 974 Views
BS also says in this context... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:05:25 PM 980 Views
If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 1047 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 861 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1417 Views
Difficult... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 1051 Views
Pahus! Yeah, you´re correct *NM* Lordling - 17/11/2009 07:59:49 PM 507 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Kaldric - 17/11/2009 07:22:38 PM 1165 Views
I think he mis-spoke just a bit VTHokie - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 873 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 490 Views
forgetting Cyndane, it does kcf - 17/11/2009 08:56:16 PM 1032 Views

Talaan and Someryn are pure guesses from Dom... Shannow - 17/11/2009 10:06:56 PM 1048 Views
Elayne at the beginning of PoD thinks Talaan is at least as great as Nyn NaClH2O - 18/11/2009 12:23:31 AM 931 Views

It almost has to be Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 961 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 618 Views
But here's the thing.... Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 1008 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 1108 Views
I was just making argument Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 11:05:18 PM 1005 Views
Guaire Amalasan! Legolas - 18/11/2009 12:50:09 AM 1020 Views
Maybe Hawkwing took Justice from Amalasan after the Battle of the Jolvaine Pass? Werthead - 18/11/2009 02:09:03 AM 1063 Views
That was the crazy part - I named him as one of LitN's "other channelers producing weapons". Legolas - 18/11/2009 02:17:25 AM 915 Views
Re: Guaire Amalasan! Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:18:37 AM 1052 Views
And I appreciate your arguments! Matrimony Cauthon - 18/11/2009 08:49:55 AM 965 Views
Perhaps it's a "Sword for the Ages" Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:26:00 AM 889 Views
Where does it say it was found in water? guttering flame - 18/11/2009 09:36:52 AM 842 Views
Min's PoV said that it was found in water underneath a statue Matrimony Cauthon - 18/11/2009 09:47:12 AM 962 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. Logain - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 1045 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* Logain - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 506 Views
Someryn *NM* kcf - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 515 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan Logain - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 884 Views
don't read too much into this kcf - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 896 Views
It could be true Logain - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 924 Views
This is RJ's Wheel of Time we're talking about. Not David Eddings. *NM* Legolas - 18/11/2009 02:18:08 AM 497 Views
Cyndane's body guttering flame - 18/11/2009 06:22:45 AM 887 Views
