Blademaster Quotes?

[Scrobes]

Hello. I did a search initially but couldn't really find anything. I was just wondering if someone might have a list or place to point me to find all the various names of the forms the blademasters use in the books while in melee. For example, "Boar rushes down the mountain," etc. I will probably do this myself eventually when I read through the books again, but just curious if anyone had them handy now.

 

Many many thanks!

They're all listed on encyclopaedia-wot.org under the Warders section.

 

On that page you'll find more links to other sites that has more info about the different sword forms.

 

Hope that helps. :)

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

Unfortunately that link you gave doesn't appear to be working at the moment, but I'll try again later!

The link in the WOT Encyclopedia only lists each of the sword forms and where they can be found. However, over on tarvalon.net in its library, there is a web page that not only lists each of the sword forms, but also describes them in good detail. I am not sure how authoritative or accurate those descriptions are. But nevertheless, here is the link for y'all to peruse, check out, and discuss.  8)
