Galad and Rand: SHOWDOWN...?

[Guest Majsju]

It is quite possible that Rand does not meet the demands for killing a blademaster in fair combat, one on one, by that small detail of there not being any witnesses to confirm that the combat was in fact fair. For all the world knows, Rand might just as well have plunged a knife in his opponents back, which obviously would not make him a blademaster.
