curious about lord luc

[Meradin]

i was recently reading up on Verin possibly being Black Ajah and came across a statement about Lord Luc, Tigraine's lost brother, and his links to the dark prophecy - i can't remember anything about Luc in any prophecy and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

[icspots]

It's referring to the dark prophecy they found written on the walls of the dungeon in Fal Dara's Keep after the Trolloc attack in the beginning of The Great Hunt. Most likely it was Lanfear that wrote it.

 

Here it is in entirety.

 

Daughter of the Night, she walks again.

The ancient war, she yet fights.

Her new lover she seeks, who shall serve her and die, yet serve still.

Who shall stand against her coming?

The Shining Walls shall kneel.

Blood feeds blood.

Blood calls blood.

Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be.

 

The man who channels stands alone.

He gives his friends for sacrifice.

Two roads before him, one to death beyond dying, one to life eternal.

Which will he choose? Which will he choose?

What hand shelters? What hand slays?

(refrain)

 

Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom.

Isam waited in the high passes.

The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.

One did live, and one did die, but both are.

The Time of Change has come.

(refrain)

 

The Watchers wait on Toman's Head.

The seed of the Hammer burns the ancient tree.

Death shall sow, and summer burn, before the Great Lord comes.

Death shall reap, and bodies fail, before the Great Lord comes.

Again the seed slays ancient wrong, before the Great Lord comes.

Now the Great Lord comes.

(refrain)

I'm pretty sure RJ said it was a mydraal

[Graendals favourite]

Yes, definitely not Lanfear, she wasn't there. Might have been a Myrddraal or a Darkfriend who wrote it. It seems clear that Verin was aware of both Luc and Isam, though she kept the info to herself as did Moiraine. She had to know Moiraine knew too, though, Lan being who he is. Anyway, Verin said 'interesting' when the Trollocs were shouting 'Isam' in the Two Rivers, and she could not have not made the connection taking also in Lord Luc's former presence there. I don't remember if Perrin had mentioned Slayer to her.

[Guest Barmacral]

There has been discussions on this before. It was a Myddrall who wrote it. I don't remember the source that said so.

[DemandredFO]

The thing that confuses me about Verin, well I just pick one, is that I believe she meets Luc in the Two Rivers but doesn't say anything. If this particular issue has been discussed before, could someone point me in the right direction? Otherwise, Here it is

[Luckers]

It's been concidered... and it certainly seems that Verin recognises Luc... yet she says nothing. I'm not sure why.

 

But then the prophecy was unspecific to Luc being of the Shadow following the event. However unlikely it seems, she may have just been waiting to see what he did.
