Talk:Horn of Valere

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Kefkakrazy 18:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC) I don't know if the Horn is a ter'angreal or not. Hard to tell, don't you think? It doesn't SEEM to use the Power, perhaps it is an actual artifact apart from the Power itself? I also don't know if the Horn was created by human hands or not... curiosity, and we'll have to argue it out, I think. It raises a few other questions... for example, was the Horn ever affected by the taint on saidin? Would it function within a stedding?

Perhaps the Horn is a link to the Creator! Myrddraal's shadowwarping abilities and the True Power are derived directly from the Dark One, so perhaps the Horn's power is derived directly from the Creator?

Other than that theory, it's possible that the Horn draws its power from the Wheel itself, or possibly Tel'aran'rhiod (since the heroes the Horn summons appear to exist in the World of Dreams while not in our world) Just a few theories.

Also, when was it created? In the Age of Legends or the Age before. Was it made at the creation of the Wheel?

Since it has the Old Tongue around the neck, it was probably made in the Age of Legends. The rest of your ideas are very interesting, but I have no idea how we'd ever find out, short of asking RJ himself.... and if you do find out, tell us!-- nae'blis 07:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

maybe it was "made" in/by (the residents of) Finnland? 71.236.79.160 21:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

My guess is it's made by Elayne Trakand possibly with help from Egwene. She knows how to copy ter'angreal, and she has a connection to a dead hero already Birgitte Silverbow. Egwene's ability as a dreamer could help since that's where the dead hero's reside. I'd bet the current horn is destroyed before or durring the last battle requiring Elayne to make a new copy.
