Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: What is the Path of Daggers?

Information taken from an online chat session with RJ. (Carol Fusinato's compilation from your links)> I recently read a comment by Robert Jordan in which he states that PoD is a metaphor and is NOT representative of any actual situation in the next book.

For those(like myself who don't have dictionaries and who haven't had english classes for a while so only partly remember what a metaphor is..."a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity ." In other words "The Path of Daggers" isn't saying that there is a Path full of daggers. From the definition you can pull your own conclusions. Sorry about the English lesson.
