Talk:Rand Stormweaver

From Guild Wars Wiki

welll well... another nod to the wheel of time.... Rand Stomweaver. Rand Al'thor is the main character of wheel of time and one of the ways he uses the power (magicc in wheel of time) is to call lightning... from storms that he "weaves" from threads of Sidin (yes he also uses baalfire and deathgates and the like but lightning is used in at least 3 books.) -TehBuG-

That's REALLY stretching it... ~ Kailianna Firesoul 16:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Not really, there are a number of allusions to the Wheel of Time in Guild Wars, Eye of the North being one of them, (there is building in the NORTH of the land the Wheel of Time is based called the "Eye of the World" and it is similair to the Eye of the North as a place of great power). Weaving is a word they use in the book to describe how a spell is cast, if a person were to cast lightning they would weave air or fire or something like that to form lightning.

I massively disagree. If it was a reference to this character, why is the boss a ranger? Rand Al'complicatedname would be some variation of elementalist/warrior. I don't recall him wielding a bow at any point in the series (granted, I lost interest around book 3 or 4). - HeWhoIsPale 18:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the very first chapter of the first book has him standing guard on his father's cart with a bow. He's the second best archer in his village next to his father ~Terra

Yeah...I totally agree with the Wheel of Time allusion. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw this guy's name. It isn't stretching it at all. BTW that series has gone on for WAY to long...should've ended on book 3. Psychiatric Consultant 17:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Seeing "Rand and Thom" is what made me think of it, though I don't know if Thom is also an allusion of is that's just coincidence. However it seems likely that this guy, at least, is. 82.3.235.183 19:22, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
