The Arthurian Parallel Is Blatant, Thus I Wonder Why So Many Ignore It. The Name With No Man Send a noteboard - 27/11/2009 02:30:54 PM
"The lion sword, the dedicated spear, she who sees beyond. Three on the boat, and he who is dead yet lives. The great battle done, but the world not done with battle. The land divided by the return, and the guardians balance the servants. The future teeters on the edge of a blade."

Rand's three women take him to Tar Valon (Avalon), just as in the Arthurian legends.

Rand (Arthur) will fight Moridin (Mordred) at the Battle of Caemlyn (Arthurian Battle of Camlann). Moridin will be slain, but so will Rand. The three ladies will arrive on a barge to take him to Tar Valon (Avalon) where he will need to somehow rise from the dead to finish "the Last Battle".

Thus I also wonder if that won't be how the series ends, with many enraged Britons wondering when and if Arthur will return or died.

(Or rather, hypothesis):Three on a boat. - 23/11/2009 12:00:51 AM 1537 Views
I think this refers to after Tarmon Gai'don. - 23/11/2009 12:40:25 AM 890 Views
i agree. i am thinking it is like the scourging of the shire... - 23/11/2009 04:22:31 PM 821 Views
That doesn't agree with other prophecies. - 23/11/2009 08:11:44 PM 807 Views
Could be. - 24/11/2009 02:55:08 AM 782 Views
The return is the Seanchan. The conflict remaining is between them and the Westlanders. - 24/11/2009 03:26:01 AM 773 Views
Yes? - 24/11/2009 06:13:56 AM 790 Views
I think it's part of what happens DURING T'armon Gaidon (Arthur goes to Avalon) - 23/11/2009 08:08:52 PM 800 Views
Wouldn't Padan Fain (Mordeth) better fill the role of Mordred? *NM* - 24/11/2009 02:56:15 AM 388 Views
He doesn't have an army. Moridin is just as close and fits better. *NM* - 24/11/2009 03:36:55 PM 385 Views
But Moridin no longer goes out himself. - 24/11/2009 06:42:28 PM 773 Views
Moridin will go wherever Shaitan tells him to. - 25/11/2009 04:25:39 AM 752 Views
Yes, but why would Shai'tan send him there? *NM* - 25/11/2009 04:55:46 AM 413 Views
Why would Shaitan let Semirhage get balefired? - 25/11/2009 03:01:32 PM 830 Views
Because it hooked Rand on the True Power. *NM* - 25/11/2009 04:19:04 PM 346 Views
