Oh, my question was does Perrin lose a body part in the book, since Mat has lost one, Rand has lost one, does Perrin lose one next?
Perrin’s body part was the knee, where he got shot through the leg with the arrow. Because the mythological symbolism is with Mat- it’s the Odin mythology, and Odin lost an eye. Perrin is actually the blacksmith mythology, which if you’ve read in Hephaestus and Perun and of the various blacksmiths, they usually have a bad leg. I wasn’t going to chop off his leg. I had that wound, and he kind of feels a phantom wound, if you’ll read in the last book there are several times where his leg aches even though he was healed. That’s the symbolism there.
So, did you just decide to [inaudible] or was that..?
No, Robert Jordan had done that, that was him.
I wasn’t sure if I was just coming up with a fantasy or not.
Though I knew he had to be wounded in the leg, I didn’t know how or how badly so I kind of came up with how it happened.
