I've recently purchased New Spring, my local bookstore has only just got it in stock. Doing a read-through and I've noticed one scene in Chapter 7: The Itch when describing items in Kerene's room.

 

A blacksmith's hammer with the head split in two lay next to a cracked wooden bowl that held a single fat firedrop, fine enough to grace a crown.

 

I'm just to curious if anyone else thinks this could be further foreshadowing to Perrin gaining a crown, be it of Two Rivers or even the Broken Crown? It just minds me of the Perrin singing in high-chant whilst wearing a crown possible foreshadow.

Sure, why not? We'll see if his crown has a fat firedrop on it. :)

Well, it may or may not. But also the split hammer is worth noting, could he be setting up for a death?

I wouldn't try to read too much into it. It could mean death, but we're not sure it's foreshadowing in the first place, and we have other (suspect) reasons to suspect Perrin's possible death.
