Granted that the population of Great Weapon Wielders we've been exposed to is a small one, it seems, purely from observation, that owners of such weapons seem to always have them about their person someplace. I'd go with the "carries it hidden on her person" theory. On another note concerning Great Weapons - Vlad's acquisition of Godslayer seems to have been a unique experience. In both Morrolan and Aliera's cases, the sword was pretty much just handed to them. If either of them experienced a "soul bonding" moment at that time, it's gone unreported. Vlad was intimately involved with the creation (or recreation, if you like) of Godslayer.It makes me wonder if his connection to it is also fundamentally different than Morrolan and Aliera's connections to their respective weapons. **************** No, we know that PF is linked to Aliera's soul, that's how she survived being struck with a Morganti weapon. Also, Sethra remarks on Morrolan's link with Pathfinder when discussing his assassination with Vlad. Actually, there are a great deal of references throughout most of the novels, especially Issola.
