** The Dragon Banner **

The banner of the Lord of the Morning, Lews Therin Telamon:

"A long, white banner spread out, lifting on the air ... The whole thing seemed of a piece, neither woven, nor dyed, nor painted. A figure like a serpent, scaled in scarlet and gold, ran the entire length, but it had scaled legs, and feet with five long, golden claws on each, and a great head with a golden mane and eyes like the sun. The stirring of the banner made it seem to move, scales glittering like precious metals and gems, alive, and he almost thought he could hear it roar defiance." <TEotW: 52, 772, There Is Neither Beginning Nor End>

The banner would be at least 6 feet long: it fills Rand's hands and still hangs almost to his stallion's knees, and is large enough to be seen across a field of battle. The dragon appears to march across the white field; its mane resembles a lion's. <TGH: 11, 192, Glimmers of the Pattern; 47, 661, The Grave Is No Bar to My Call>
