He makes both spoiler-free/spoiler light and full spoiler videos for topics from all ages of the Wheel of Time series. The channel is called Unraveling the Pattern, and the gentleman behind them has a whole team of researchers assisting with the lore compilation. So I did manage to find a very informative YouTube channel that spells out the meaning and history behind these weapons that are wielded by Blade Masters. So when I was watching the episode, and the camera had a split second freeze frame on the sword, I said out loud “well I think that mar is going to be significant” turns out, I was right.

Now, as I previously stated, I have had no expsure to the series at all up to this point. Outside where he could move, Tam would’ve absolutely destroyed the Trolloc, but without the space to move out of its reach he got grabbed and stabbed with its poisoned blade. It isn’t until the Trolloc physically grapples him that the class difference is obvious. Tam wastes no time and uses his curved blade to his advantage, dodge strikes and slashing the beast as often as he can. The chest, scabbard and blade are all emblazoned with what I thought was a crane, but have since learned is a Heron. Tam slides over and pulls out a slightly curved sword which he draws from its ornate scabbard.
When he gets thrown into the mantle of the hearth, that’s when he decides to break out what he’s known for, his sword. Tam picks up his trusty spear (we see him with in the opening shot of them) and begins trying to end the fight quickly. Rand using his bow and arrows manages to land a few shots but not before he is thrown across the small space by the huge Trolloc. Rand and Tam are using longer range weapons in a confined space and suffer some devastating blows because of it. In the first episode, when one of the big Trollocs attacks Rand and his dad, Tam al’thor (bearded Roose Bolton from Game of Thrones, also known by his actual name as Michael McElhatton) in their mountain home, the pair are at a disadvantage. That being said, this is going to be about something completely different than that, Heron Marked Blades. It’s definitely a very interesting tactic to use for sure, and after seeing the magic system in the show, I can very easily see how that would be a near unbeatable strategy. The magician ladies use their magic to open portals in a cave far away from the battlefield, that cannons then shoot through into the enemy forces and then they close the portals before any of the advancing army can come back through.
My entire exposure to the story has been the Amazon show and my one friend, Kyle, describing a battle to me years ago from one of the later books. I would like to preface this by saying, I know next to nothing about the Wheel of Time series.
