The best part was that Birgitte actually said there was a hateful monologue telling her she would make her weep forever without Gaidel. :p

As my personal view of the various Heroes of the Horn has always been one that they are not necessarily 'souls' as we know them in WoT so much as they are archetypes of heroic ideals that are given life by Tel'Aran'Rhiod itself (for where else would the archetypical heroes exist but in the dreams of men), I do wonder at this point.

Given that it's possible for people to become Heroes, I'd say the evidence suggests that they are souls as we know them, not merely archetypes given flesh.

 

But does the soul of the living person themselves become the Hero, or do the legends and memories of the world at large surrounding that person create a Hero in their image? Being so wholly tied to Tel'Aran'Rhiod as they are, which is not normal for any soul, the latter just seems to make the most sense to me.

The former. Hawkwing says that people can become bound to the Wheel. Your theory does not involve a person being bound to the Wheel.

How some of you manage to comprehend any part of the series baffles my mind.

 

Thank you for expressing this sentiment; nice to know I'm not the only one.

 

Deadsy, you should be my partner in crime, no one ever thanks me for expressing these sentiments.

I never got that arrow part. I suppose it's could mean the arrow, but then again it could be from that stash of jewerly they girls had. Who knows. I wouldn't call that anywhere near conclusive.

What would be 'special' about the jewelry? It's conclusive, because there is no other option for why the source of the silver would be 'special'. I'm thinking there's another quote, but it's a difficult thing to search for and I haven't made the time for it yet.
