Horn of Valere , the Title

[Elvira_Sedai]

  Does anyone else think that the Title of the Horn , Valere is somehow related to Egwene's last name , al'Vere ? The two words are almost identical , is it just a randomness or it will mean something significant later ?

Randomness. One weakness RJ did have was being a bit repetative when it came to names.

  Was RJ or BSand asked about this particular case and answered or it's your suggestion ? Excuse me , please , but name two unsignificant characters Lamelle and Latelle , for example and name one of the main character and one of the most misterious and powerful items almost same are very different things , I guess . I know from RJ quotes that there is a connection between Rand and King Arthur  and Arthur Pendragon have a bit similarity to al'Thor the Dragon . In the case of I'd asked the similarity is much more , I just cannot believe in so strange randomness .. Of cause , I'll delete my question if one of the authors themselves said it's random  :)

I think its coincidence, Mat seems to be signed, sealed, and delivered to blow the horn at Tarmon Gai'don.

Just use a bit of logic. The Horn of valere is useless in the hands of anyone other than Mat, so unless he dies, the strongest connection Egwene could get with the Horn is delivering it to Mat. And we know Mat will not die.

Might as well start looking for a connection between Callandor and Tallanvor.

Well , try again  :) Tallanvor is very far from being a main character , how he could be connected to the one of the key items in the series ?? Callandor may be interpretated as call Andor , what's mean that Elayne will be the one , who link with Rand  :)

 

 Also we cannot be sure that Mat's link with the Horn is still exist after he was killed in Caemlin and wasn't because Rand's Balefire . Here is a hole in plot , which BSand can use . However , Egwene's connection to the Horn may be not nececcery blowing in it , she could become one of the famous Heroes of it after death . But I very doubt that simply delivering the Horn to Mat is worthy of this very strong name similarities .

So, RJ would spend several books setting up Egwene as the new Amyrlin, an Amyrlin who actually has strong enough ties to Rand to make at least communication between him and the WT realistic, only to kill off Egwene so she can have a cameo as one of roughly 100 Heroes instead of doing something with all that setup?

 

I think not.

Yes , you're quite right ! But who says that her death will be soon  ;) I think , Egwene will have enough time to fullfil everything you'd mention and something yet , what will make her worthy be one of the Heroes of the Horn  :)

So..no one else sees it?

Valere = Valor

I always thought of it that way.

[water_seeker]

This theory reminds me of a fake theory I made just to see who would buy into it about Verin being an agent of the Pattern (or something like that) because her name was so close to Ta'veren...except my theory was better...lol, jk.

Why does no one give any consideration that Mazrim Taim is a good guy? There's not enough evidence against him that a good lawyer couldn't clear his name.

 

Not even Clarence Darrow or OJ's dream team could get Mazrim off.

[Blackhoof]

I reckon it was either random, or RJs private joke, to see how long it would take fans to start a thread about it....

One might want to consider the Norse Valkyrie in connection with the sounding of the Horn of VALERIe and the CALLing of Heroes.
