he Dark Prophecy

by Shadow Bane: 2003-07-10 | Not yet rated

Previous Categories: Prophecies, Foretellings, and Talents

Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom.

Isam waited in the high passes.

The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.

One did live, and one did die, but both are.

The Time of Change has come.

Blood feeds blood.

Blood calls blood.

Blood was, and blood is, and blood shall ever be.

This prophecy has long puzzled me but i think I finally worked it out.

Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom.

Isam waited in the high passes.

According to the Map of Randland The mountains of dhoom go through what was once Malkeir. It makes sense that Isam might be there. As for Luc i thought about it and can see only one reason for him to be there. After Tigraine's dissapearance Luc was overwhelmed by his grief for her so he went to the blight to fight Trollocs. This behavior is typically seen by aeil and borderlanders but, an andorman could exibit it as well. This woud put them in the same area.

The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.

Now what does the Shadow hunt for? Easy the DR. Luc looks like Rand. Isam saw him and attacked thinking he was Rand. The only problem here is, of couse Rand wasn't born yet. The DO is quite powerful though, so if Moiraine was able to puzzle out where Rand came from maybe the DO did too. Luc came from Andor, where Rand would later be found. A long shot I know. The shadows hounds. Well i personally believe Isam was a wolfbrother corrupted by DH, so that could be it. But i think it's more logical the hounds are the forsaken.

One did live, and one did die, but both are.

Isam was believed dead, Luc still alive. Luc did live and Isam did die but both are

The Time of Change has come.

Blood feeds blood.

Blood calls blood.

The time of change signals the breaking of the seals and the increased prescence of the DO. Blood feeds blood. Isam's mother betrayed Malkeir to the Shadow, and then fled with him. Think of the shadow as an old locamotive that runs on coal. You need to feed the engine coal for the train to move forward. Isam and his mother fed Malkeir (coal) to the that is the DO (fire) so that the shadow (locomotive) could move forward.

Blood calls blood. Luc was compelled to head to the blight by a calling caused by the dissapearance of his sister.

As for that last part i still don't have a clue but i think it has something to do with Lan and Rand.

This is just my twisted take on the Dark Prophecy.

If I remember correctly, Luc was also sent by the Aes Sedai advisor, like his sister. My guess, if Isam was waiting, that it was Isam that lived, but for some reason I thought the Finns had something to do with the Isam/Luc combination too.

Mairashda: 2003-07-14

apart from this one episode In TAR where isam tried to lure perrin near the tower of ghengej, there is AFAIK no evidence linking Slayer to the Finn. As far as we know their duality could also have been manufactured at shayol ghul, where things can be done that can be done nowhere else...

Vaughn882: 2003-07-14

I seriously doubt that Luc would be mistaken as Rand by the Shadow. The DO knew when Rand was born, and I believe this incident happend before that (and if it didn't he would only be a baby).

As for the "blood calls blood" part, I don't think this has any meaning, its just fancy words in the dark profecy.

The shadow's hounds are dark hounds, and I just think it means that they have all been released upon the world.

The time of change i think is the new coming age-the fourth age.

I think that slayer has more importance than it seems- why would the aes sedai send him to the blight if it weren't important?

Callandor: 2003-07-14

Tam has it right. Luc was sent to the Blight by Gitara Moroso who had the Foretelling and told him he would find his fame or his fate there.

aan-Allein: 2003-07-15

I think the wolves slayer kills in TAR turn into darkhounds

rubbernilly: 2003-07-15

I disagree aan -

Hopper says that the wolves that die in the wolf dream die permanently.

I think if Darkhounds were once wolves they have been twisted purposefully - like the turning that 13 BA and 13 Fades can put on a walker-in-the-light.

Anubis: 2003-07-15

the darkhounds eat the souls of wounded wolves and those wolves then become new darkhounds.

dont ask me where the first darkhound came from, its like asking where the first vampire came from... little late to be worryin about it now.

ive always wondered about that tho. giltara does somting well in tune with the lights plans she sends tiagrine to the waste to do her thing. then she goes and sends luc to the blight. did she intend for that to happen? or did she just know he would find destiny there...? curious. i dont understand why luc is so hardcore evil. isam i can believe... having been in the blight since infancy but i think there is something else at play mebby. any ideas?

Vaughn882: 2003-07-16

The first Darkhound was probably just a wolf corrupted by the DO, or may have been created by Aginor like Trollocs. I wish we knew more about them.

Gitara said he would either find fame or fate there, so she probably knew he had to go there but didnt know how it would turn out. That's why I think slayer is more important than he seems. He must have an important part, good or bad, for her to have a fortelling that said he had to go there.

Niahanchi: 2003-07-18

Anubis, it is my thought that even if an individual is working for the Light, the pattern will weave them for it's purpose sometimes no matter how hard that person fights against. This also leads me to believe Luc's importance has not been completely revealed.

free will: 2003-10-16

Maybe I missed something but I thought the DO's hounds were Padan Fain and the others like him that were modified to sense the DR?

Did I make up Padan Fain doding that? I don't have my books with me but I'm pretty sure he even called himself the DO's hound.

Murrin: 2003-10-28

I think that Gitara's foretelling was that the Last Battle depended on Luc going to the Blight - they weren't sure of the exact meaning of it, but some thought it meant he would find the Dragon Reborn. Afterwards, she Foretold that Tigraine had to go become a Maiden, or Tarmon Gai'don would be lost. If Luc had not gone before Tigraine did, the events afterwards would have been different and Laman's Sin may never have occurred.

Anyway - Luc went on north, thinking to go to Shayol Ghul and achieve some great fame. Instead, Isam (who was captured by Trollocs as a baby and raised in the Blight) finds him. Luc kills Isam, but Isam's shadow-tainted soul finds a way to live on, by entering Luc. They become one, Luc being made as twisted to the shadow as Isam was.

Isam/Luc lives on in the Blight for a time, learning the skills he has gained from the shadow. One day, Janduin, having lost the woman he loved and his only son and given up his position as chief, enters the Blight, and meets Luc. He refuses to kill Luc, so Luc kills him.

"The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill."

At the point the Prophecy was written, Luc/Isam begins his task. He is the Shadow's Hounds, used to hunt down the chosen prey.

Turandil: 2004-04-18

Anubis:

"the darkhounds eat the souls of wounded wolves and those wolves then become new darkhounds."

What if a darkhound eat the soul of a wolfbrother? Would that result in a dark wolfbrother? Isam?

Then somehow Isam and Luc forged,

Isam being in controll in TAR and Luc being in controll in the real world.

Just like Rand seem to be in controll in the real world while Lews Therins influence seems much stronger while in TAR.
