Thats what I was wondering, is it light linked (considering darkness is inherently linked to chaos imo) or do we get a DF Ta'averen wandering round?

Do we know if there have ever been any Darkside Ta'avren?

IIRC, doesn't Hurin smell Violence on the place, not the person?

He'll walk into a pub and smell a murder, and be able to follow that trail. But he can't walk upto someone and 'sniff' the murder out without having been there.

I'm a sniffer, you see. Been one four years this Sunday. I never heard of such a thing before then, but I hear there's a few others like me.

It started slow, catching bad smells where nobody else smelled anything, and it grew. Took a whole year before I

realized what it was. I could smell violence, the killing and the hurting. Smell where it happened. Smell the

trail of those who did it. Every trail's different, so there's no chance of mixing them up. Lord Ingtar heard

of it, and took me in his service, to serve the King's justice."

 

"You can smell violence?" Rand said. He could not help looking at the man's nose. It was an ordinary

nose, not large, not small. "You mean you can really follow somebody who, say, killed another man? By

smell?"

 

"I can that, my Lor - ah - Rand. It fades with time, but the worse the violence, the longer it lasts. Aiie, I

can smell a battlefield ten years old, though the trails of the men who were there are gone. Up near the

Blight, the trails of the Trollocs almost never fade. Not much to a Trolloc but killing and hurting. A fight in

a tavern, though, with maybe a broken arm . . . that smell's gone in hours

Thats how I see him anyway :D

Hey guys, cheers for that.

I had not even thought that could be Justice.......

As its not mentioned again....I reckon thats gonna be significant, specifically in relation to the Seanchan. The great Hawkwings sword in The Dragons possession?

Tell me thats not gonna happen! :P

Hi guys ^_^

Long time reader, first time poster and all the jazz.

Question for if anyone knows though!

TGS, Chapter 1, Rand has a sword he's thinking about to himself. Does anyone know which Sword it is? (It may just be me, but it seems as if he's just gotten it, but its....wierd. Almost like its an Angreal or something but he's seen it initially himself. And I don't think its mentioned again? (Re-reading TGS now!)

The quote is below if anyone needs it. Hoping you can help :P

He relaxed his hand on his sword, though he did not release it. He fingered the cloth-tied hilt. The weapon was long, slightly curved, and the lacquered scabbard was painted with a long, sinuous dragon of red and gold. It looked as if it had been designed specifically for Rand— and yet it was centuries old, unearthed only recently. How odd, that they should find this now, he thought, and make a gift of it to me, completely unaware of what they were holding. . . .

He had taken to wearing the sword immediately. It felt right beneath his fingers. He had told no one, not even Min, that he had recognized the weapon. And not, oddly, from Lews Therin's memories—but Rand's own.
