The Karaethon Cycle

[Blade Master 7]

In almost all of the books we get some fragmented parts of the prophecies of the Dragon But never several in one shot. So I would like to see what all of them would look like together. Also how many parts has RJ given us.

 

For starters in KOD the Banner-General says to Perrin this small part "When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown."

 

In TGH We are given "And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man. Woman shall weep and men quail as the nations of the earth are rent like roting cloth. Neither shall anything stand nor abide . . .

Yet one shall be born to face the Shadow, born once more as he was born before and shall be born again, time without end. The Dragon shall be Reborn, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth at his rebirth. In sackloth and ashes shall he clothe the people, and he shall break the world againby his comming, tearing appart all ties that bind. Like the unfettered dawn shall he blind us, and burn us, yet shall the Dragon Reborn confront the Shadow at the Kast Battle, and his blood shall give us the Light. Let tears flow, O ye people of the world. Weep for your salvation."

 

Another from the same book says "He will be of the ancient blood, and raised of the old blood."

 

"Five ride foth,and four return. Above the watchers shall he proclaim himslef, bannered across the sky in fire."

 

"Twice and twice shall he be marked, twice to live, and twice to die. Once the heron, to set his path. Twice the heron, to name him true. Once the Dragon , for remembrance lost. Twice the Dragon, for the price he must pay."

 

"Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed. Once for morning, once for birth. Red on black, the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul. In the Pit of Doom shall his blood free men from the Shadow."

 

All of these are from TGH but there is the all important one that he shall be born on Dragonmount. So what are the others and where are they?
