There is nothing like a good theory war! I like well-formed arguments, even if they demolish my own arguments in the process.
"And just to be argumentative again.
The Second Oath, (the one against making a weapon), was the first oath adopted after the War of Shadow, according to the BWB, page 213. Any Power-wrought sword would be several thousand years old, unless there were other channelers out there producing them that we don't know about.

My theory was that Artur Hawking was using Lews Therin's sword and calling it Justice. This theory fits all the facts, most notably that Rand notes the sword is hundreds of years old and that he last remembered it from Falme.
It is just a theory-- I can't wait to see why Sanderson is holding back his explanation for what Rand's sword really is.

Same sword, used by one ta'veren per era, only to be lost and then found again and again at just the right time....
That it was found in water, certainly gives it some semblance to Excalibur and the Lady of the Lake. (I believe Dominic pointed that out somewhere. I don't want to make it sound like I'm taking credit for repeating it.)
Or is it something BS said in an interview? I'm not sure how important this sword is going to be anyway.
