For example, the wolves know him as Shadowkiller, the Sea Folk know him as the Coramoor, and the Aiel call him Car'a'carn, the chief-of-chiefs He Who Comes With The Dawn. Įvery social group appears to have their own name for the Dragon in the 3rd Age. That's why Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene and Nynaeve know nothing about the Karaethon Cycle and cannot put pieces together, cannot recognise events happening around them until they learn about the Prophecies.
There are also villages or lands where even talking about the Prophecies is forbidden or avoided. Due to Lews Therin Telamon's infamy, for better or for worse, the tale of the Dragon Reborn is known well even in remote villages, though often distorted beyond recognition. It is commonly expected that in doing so he will also bring a new Breaking of the World. Prophecy says that he would break all bonds and bring suffering to the earth. The Pattern requires that he be a male channeler and must be at Tarmon Gai'don or the forces of the Light will not stand a chance even his presence does not assure victory, however, only the possibility of one. Rand al'Thor, the reincarnation of Lews Therin as the Dragon Reborn, is fated to both destroy and save the world. The origin of the creature – whether it ever existed or was simply a legendary beast that the Dragon was named after – is unknown. In addition, the serpent kind creature with four legs being displayed on the banner of Lews Therin Telamon in the War of Shadow was also called dragon. Lews Therin Telamon was never mentioned to be named Dragon Reborn. What Elan Morin Tedronai says in the Prologue of TEOTW indicates that Lews Therin Telamon only earned the name Dragon during the War of Power, so as Elan Morin Tedronai was named Betrayer of Hope. The Prophecies of the Dragon as described in the Karaethon Cycle give vague impressions on the events that will follow after his coming.Ĭontradictions on the Dragon/Dragon Reborn The Dragon of the Third Age is Rand al'Thor. The Dragon of the Age of Legends was Lews Therin Telamon. It is unknown if he is born again in a similar repeating pattern in other Ages. He is reborn in the Age of Legends and again in the Third Age (and equivalents along the Wheel) to combat the Shadow. The Dragon is the title for the male champion of the Light against the Dark One, and is always the reincarnation of a single particular soul.
For other uses of the words "dragon" and "shadow," the latter being a part of the wolves' name for the Dragon Reborn, see Dragon and Shadow. For the projectile weapons by the same name, see Dragons. For the third book in The Wheel of Time series, see The Dragon Reborn.
