ok, så här på kvällskvisten pallar jag inte spela dutig o översätta så jag saxar direkt från dragonmount eftersom det var så intressant med tanke på att titeln inte är många dagar gammal. I vilket fall, slut på skitsnacket om ni inte pallar läsa allt så läs det capslockade:

--------------

The Path of Daggers {A Quiet Place} pages 110-11

With Aviendha's help, the searching went more quickly than before, though Aviendha did not recognize what they were after as quickly as she did. Not a great surprise. A few of the sisters Elayne had trained showed a greater skill in this than she did herself, but most came nowhere near. Still, two sets of hands found more than one, and there was a great deal to bo found. Liveried stablemen and women carried away the rubbish, while a collection of ter'angreal grew on the broad stone lid of a square cistern.

Four more horses were unloaded quickly, and they accumulated a selection that would have caused a celebration brought into the Tower. Even with no one studying ter'angreal. They took every form imaginable. Cups and bowls and vases, no two the same size or design or in the same material. A flat, worm-eaten box, half-falling apart and whatever had lined it long since gone to dust, held pieces of jewelry-a necklace and bracelets set with colored stones, a slim gem-studded belt, several finger rings-and there were places for more. every single one was a ter'angreal, and they all matched, ment to be worn together, though Elayne could not imagine why any woman would want to carry so many about her at one time.

AVIENDHA FOUND A DAGGER WITH GOLD WIRE WRAPPED AROUND A HILT OF ROUGH DEERHORN; THE BLADE WAS DULL,AND BY ALL EVIDENCE, ALWAYS HAD BEEN. SHE KEPT TURNING THAT OVER AND OVER IN HER FINGERS-HER HANDS ACTUALLY BEGAN TO TREMBLE-UNTIL ELAYNE TOOK IT AWAY FROM HER AND PUT IT WITH THE OTHERS ON THE CISTERN'S LID. EVEN THEN AVIENDHA STOOD FOR A TIME, LOOKING AT IT AND LICKING HER LIPS AS THOUGH THEY HAD GONE DRY...

Lets go back to Lord of Chaos:

Matters of Toh page 435-6

"They have shared dreams, some of which concern you." She sounded slightly strangled until she paused to clear her throat, then fixed him with a steady, determined gaze. "Melaine and Bair dreamed of you on a boat," she said, the word still awkward after all these months in the wetlands, "with three women whose faces they could not see, and a scale tilting first one way then the other."

"Melaine and Amys dreamed of a man standing by your side with a dagger to your throat, but you did not see him."

"Bair and Amys dreamed of you cutting the wetlands in two with a sword." For an instant eyes darted contemptuosly to the scabbarded blade lying atop the Dragon Scepter. Contemptuosly, and a but guiltily. She had given him that, once the property of King Laman, carefully wrapped in a blanket so she could not be said to have actually touched it............


"There is one other I can tell you, though it may not concern you." Which ment there were some she would not tell, which made him wonder why the Wise Ones had discussed them with her since she was not a dreamwalker.

"ALL THREE HAD THIS DREAM, WHICH MAKES IT ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICENT. RAIN," that word still came clumsily too, "COMING FROM A BOWL. THERE ARE SNARES AND PITFALLS AROUND THE BOWL. IF THE RIGHT HANDS PICK IT UP, THEY WILL FIND A TREASURE PERHAPS AS GREAT AS THE BOWL. IF THE WRONG HANDS PICK IT UP THE WORLD IS DOOMED. THE KEY TO FINDING THE BOWL IS TO FIND THE ONE WHO IS NO LONGER.

I have always connected the dagger that Aviendha held in PoD with this dream about a great treasure...

First and foremost, why did Aviendha tell Rand about it if it does not deal with him...the truth is it will probably be a life or death thing for Rand in the end... but who expects RJ to be an open man and writer...

Second it is Aviendha's reaction to the Deerhorn Dagger... This seems blatently out of order for an Ex-Maiden-of-the-Spear..

Is this the Knife of Dreams....RJ has always used something from previous books to highlight his book titles...

jag kan tillägga att det dock är skillnad på en kniv och en dolk (KNIFE och DAGGER) vilket skulle kunna rasera hela teorin direkt. Vad den exakta skillnaden ligger i är jag dock inte säker på...

Jag hoppas titeln har med TAR att göra, och inget objekt typ en ter'angreal-kniv.

Dagger = Dolk = med handtag (fäste) o. slida, vanl. äfv. med parerstång försedt, kort o. spetsigt, ofta tveeggadt stickvapen; i sv. tidigast anträffadt om praktvapen; äfv. mera obestämdt om kort stickvapen;
Knife = kniv

Vilka 3 var det Meliane drömde om i båten för övrigt?

de tre var med största sannorlikhet aviendha, min och elayne. Nicoa hade nån liknande fortelling som var ganska tydlig.
