The Horn of Valere The Grave is no Bar to my Call These are the words said to be inscribed on the legendary Horn of Valere, which it is said was hidden long ago to keep it safe until it was needed for the Last Battle. It is a well-known legend that he who sounds the Horn of Valere will summon the Heroes of the Horn back from the grave to fight against the Shadow. Prophecy states that it will be found in time for Tarmon Gai'don. Many stories have arisen from this legend and from the Prophecies, and have become a part of the bardic cycle 'The Great Hunt of the Horn'. The Great Hunt of the Horn is called in Illian on occasion. The Great Hunt had not been called for four hundred years, at the end of the Trolloc Wars, and at the beginning of the War of the Hundred Years. But it was recently called again in Illian on the Feast of Teven, and would be-Hunters came from every nation to seek the Horn, or at least glory or fame. The city celebrated their coming with a carnival celebration with song and dance, costumes and fireworks, and of course, a contest for the best telling of the Great Hunt of the Horn, which takes several days to recite in High Chant. The Hunters swore the Oath, and were sent forth on their quest with much pomp and circumstance. Since then, there have been rumors of the Horn everywhere, and a dozen people will tell you they can -sell- you the Horn of Valere. Other rumors tell of an army of heroes of legend appearing in Falme, but thus far, the Horn of Valere has not been returned to Illian, which is deemed its rightful place. Therefore, one must only conclude that it has not yet been found, or if it has been, it is still fair game, for all the Hunters true are sworn to bring the Horn back to Illian. See Also: Illian |
