Noal Charin: was he drawn to Mat by the pull of a ta’veren , or was there something of a “Hero to Hornsounder” pull as well?
You’re making assumptions about Noal that have not been clarified in the text. ;)
On a more serious note, total RAFO on whether Jain is/was/will be a Hero. It’s been talked about for years and years.
And I suspect that it will continue to be a source of discussion for some time. ;)
Well, it’s such a common assumption that I didn’t even realize it hadn’t been stated as true yet. :-p
But while I’m assuming, I take it that Noal’s past may be one of those things Robert Jordan didn’t intend to reveal. :-p
RAFO on what RJ would or wouldn’t reveal. :)
I wonder “when” will Farstrider’s real background be exposed to Mat, Thom?
At least four people should know who Farstrider really is: Loial, Elder Haman, Elder Arent, and Speaker Covril.
Two other characters might know who Farstrider really is too: Birgitte from Ebou Dar, and Luca from Shangtai.
Obviously a bunch of other older characters have a chance of recognizing Noal as Farstrider in Caemlyn too.
Continues whistling and walking the other direction.
