but what of balefire?

Balefire only burns the thread out of the pattern, it doesn't destroy the soul.

I propose a Law of Conservation of Souls: A soul can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms.

That belief is already had in Christianity and indeed in many eastern philosophies as well, so we can say that it is likely that RJ intended that to be part of the basis of people being spun out in the pattern.

I'll bite, that makes more sense. Now about the Horn. There are only so many major Events in each age correct? Do we think there are many or only 1 or 2 per age? If there are many then there are ample opportunities for people to be tied to the horn for the first time and still spend ages (literally) passing around the tabac pipe in tel'aran'rhiod with all the other Horners...

However if there are only a few then most likely the Horners would only have people added to their number very very slowly. If that's the case then by the third age would there have been around 100 answering the Horn's call when mat blew?

I propose that certain souls are eternally set apart and that the Horn of Valere is merely a ter'angreal of some sort created at some time during some age which was made to tap in to that well of souls, not the source of their distinction, merely a tool to utilize it.

But how would they be distinguished?

If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system. Actually I just hate 3e, its biased me against the system. I rather like WoT.

In the same way that the Dragon is distinguished? His soul was created by the creator to be an avatar in times of need. Is it far fetched that the creator would have set aside certain other souls to be used by his created wheel and pattern as the need came about?
