Perrin's wound.

[moroten]

Just finished my first re-read and this time Perrin's wound was something that stood out to me, something I overlooked the first time.

 

He describes his wound as still aching and throbbing after the fight with Slayer in the wolfdream. Despite being healed directly after waking up, he still feels the wound which in my opinion indicates that it aint any normal wound. Slayer could have imagined poisen on the arrow tip but that should have been healed aswell. The whole thing just reminds me of the two wounds in Rand's side.

 

Maybe Slayer hunts wolfs for a reason; to turn them into Darkhounds(darkhounds was wolfs once if Im not mistaken). Perhaps thats what Perrin is feeling, some kind of evil that has manifested itself in him due to him being part human part wolf.

I know this is waaaay into theoryland and has few facts backing it up apart from a weird wound.

 

Thoughts?

I agree that there is something up with Perrin's wound. I had not thought of the Darkhound aspect. Interesting.

 

I am sure that we will see more of it soon in the next book.

We've been told before that wounds given in T'A'R don't heal normally (first introduction by Verin I think).

Pretty sure that's it.

Ya I think it was Verin telling Egwene about wounds in TAR and how they do not heal properly. Didn't Verin have a scar that she showed Egwene? Also, we see Nynaeve's palm scars from her accepted testing which is related to TAR.

also regarding wounds, if you notice, mat lost an eye, rand his hand, and perrin has this wound in his leg? does this mean he might lose a leg?

Not necessarily, but he will probably be lamed - like a lot of mythological blacksmiths, including Hephaestus:

Meaning he could only run in the wolf dream?
