Why, oh why does it seem that most artists do not pay attention to the details... Sigh. As a right handed swordsman, Rand al'Thor would probably not have a sword strapt onto his right side where he would have to draw it with his left hand. The Seanchan spear he carries is not ornimanted by anything other than the standard issue tassle and the carvings of dragons made by the Maidens. Where are the swords that point up and down on the crown which give its new name?

Also as the sword that he carrises is based upon the katana would the blade not be to the heavens curving downward?
