Black Ajah? Big deal.

tuon has already declared matt "property" that probably diminishes his chances at emperor??

[Ealdur Tinuviel]

But he is still nobility,and one of the highest possible nobles, at that...

 

And lest we forget, property is actually considered to be better than free men and women of lower classes.

In any case mat has been raised to the blood (i think)... or at least property.  The fact the he is involved w/tuon gives him incredible authority.  But more importantly,  tuon received prophecy during her voyage over and part of that involved loving a man who remembered hawkwing.  I think a person who directly remembers conversations or whatever w/the great hawkwing has enough in his pocket for political leverage--not to mention his taverenistic pull at luck.  The very likelyhood that a farmboy foreigner could be declared emperor sounds like excellent odds if mat is the one rolling the dice.

the prophesy was tuon would marry the man who knew hawkwings face. having blown the horn, matt meets this criteria.

[Ealdur Tinuviel]

Yeah, but actually in one of his memories, he remembers facing Hawkwing in a battle.

[Guest cwestervelt]

Mat's own meeting with Hawkwing after sounding the Horn is likely the more important of the two.  That particular memory, the first Hawkwing memory Mat every had, is his very own.  The other memories belong to different people and thus are not truly Mat's.

 

But, that's probably just splitting hares.

I didn't say there wasn't more than one typo.  Just one that was deliberate.  I was thinking of a Bugs Bunny quote at the time.

You did click on the link, didn't you?

[Guest cwestervelt]

Clicked on it yes, spent much time looking at it, not really.

[Ealdur Tinuviel]

I was making a joke about splitting hares being equivalent to animal (rabbit) cruelty.
