 The Horn of Valere is a powerful artifact. Little is known of how it works, but the effect is clear: when the Horn is sounded, the great heroes of the Pattern are summoned to battle, and will serve whoever blew the horn. though it has recently been discovered that if in the presence of the dragon reborn it will follow his orders whether or not he sounded it, despite nothing ever linking the two. It is supposed to be present at the Last Battle, but there is no mention of it in the Prophecies of the Dragon. It is described as looking Like any ordinary horn and is not grandois, but it has an inscription that reads "The Grave is no bar to my call" and also "Let he who sounds me think not of glory, but of salvation." The Horn's origins are uncertain, but it was lost to the world and faded into the realm of myth for hundreds of years when the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends hid it beneath the Eye of the World deep within the blight,along with the banner of Lews Therin Telamon and one of the seals to the Dark Ones prison, during the Breaking, there it was guarded by the Green man, a Nym named Someshta, untill the time of its use. Illian traditionally mounted "Great Hunts" for the Horn in which men and women from all over the world would gather and go out in search, but all were unsuccessful. It was said that the finding of the Horn would be one of the indications of the arrival of the Last Battle. The Horn Was found recently at the Eye of the World by a party of Seven; Moiraine Sedai, Lan Mandragoran, Nynaeve al'Meara, Egwene al'Vere, Rand al'Thor, Mat Cauthon, Perrin Aybara and Loial. They then took it to Fal Dara where it was kept safe by Lord Agelmar Jagad until later stolen by Padan Fain. While it was under his protection, Lord Algemar felt the presence of the horn keenly, and he passed it on to the Amyrlin at the first opportunity, stating that the temptation to use it was too great.
