What's the Weave?

[Robert]

Tony does have that right.

[Tony]

The right about what? The Aiel? I think that is right. I'll have to check up on it, except I'm too lazy to look.

[Robert]

Yes, that.

[Victor]

*laughs* Okay. I seem to remember it being said (paraphrased) "But nobody has ever beaten an Aiel army! Not even Artur Hawkwing!"

[Silvion]

I think King Arthur is the best candidate for being Arthur Hwakwing. Jordan obviously based his character on our King Arthur. As bob pointed out:Artur Paendrag=Arthur Paendragon, thats isnt a coincedence.

ok I may be the only one that saw this.But has any one give any though of the base of this book?Think people....norse myth(ragnarok=devil=the dark one)....english myth(by the way Arthur paendragon did live. They found his bones but the king at the time was King Henry the second.Took the bones fearing that the Saxons would think he was dead for Arthur had won twelve mighty battles against them.They (the Saxons) had a passion for hating Arthur.The myth "King Arthur" did not live but Arthur paendragon was a king but the "king Arthur" that slew giants and fought against the magic of morgaina.Was a rumor spread to give fear to the Saxons.Also before Arthur paendragon was dug up from his grave.He was buiered at Glastoinbury church yard between two stone pyramids.After he was mortaly wounded on the feild of battle with his nephew. Who he killed for winning the love of his wife Guenever.While he was on a crusade to get the cross of christ.And bring it to the church.But if he ever found it we will never know. If you did not know this well what are they teaching in school? ).........rome gods (there are only hints of this)........african myth(green man="gia" although you may argue with me that "gia" is a women it is never said to be either and you may say the "gia"was tied to the whole planet and the green man was not but! changes can be made to this "gia" be made into the green man such as allowing it a gender,and the green man had no control over the hole world). Am I the only one who see's this? Also I wish to say I'm sorry for any miss spelling.

[trem]

Does that put to rest any doubt that he based his book(s) not on myths?

[Tony]

You made a lof of bad puncutaion marks. You should get a typing program and practice. A LOT!

Who would be the Artur Hawkwing of our age?

here is a option but he is dead sadly

King Alfred the Great (849, ruled 871-899) was one of the best kings ever to rule mankind. He defended Anglo-Saxon England from Viking raids, formulated a code of laws, and fostered a rebirth of religious and scholarly activity. His reign exhibits military skill and innovation, sound governance and the ability to inspire men and plan for the future, piety and a practical commitment to the support of religion, personal scholarship and the promotion of education.

"Desire for and possession of earthly power never pleased me overmuch, and I did not unduly desire this earthly rule, but that nevertheless I wished for tools and resources for the task that I was commanded to accomplish, which was that I should virtuously and worthily guide and direct the authority which was entrusted to me. You know of course that no one can make known any skill, nor direct and guide any authority, without tools and resources; a man cannot work on any enterprise without resources. In the case of the king, the resources and tools with which to rule are that he have his land fully manned: he must have praying men, fighting men and working men. You also know that without these tools no king may make his ability known. Another aspect of his resources is that he must have the means of support for his tools, the three classes of men. These, then are their means of support: land to live on, gifts, weapons, food, ale, clothing, and whatever else is necessary for each of the three classes of men. Without these things he cannot maintain the tools, nor without the tools can he accomplish any of the things he was commanded to do. Accordingly, I sought the resources with which to exercise the authority, in order that my skills and power would not be forgotten and concealed: because every skill and every authority is soon obsolete and passed over, if it is without wisdom; because no man may bring to bear any skill without wisdom. For whatever is done unthinkingly, cannot be reckoned a skill. To speak briefly: I desired to live worthily as long as I lived, and to leave after my life, to the men who should come after me, the memory of me in good works."
