The Wheel of Time
An Introductory Chronology and Prosopography
October 30, 1992
This paper attempts to construct a general chronology
for the major events of the thirty years preceding the
action of The Wheel of Time, and to establish some basic
biographical facts regarding the major characters. A
future paper will present a detailed chronology of the
years 997-998 NE, in which the events described in the
books occur. This paper also notes and attempts to
correct a few minor inconsistencies and errors in the
books. In this paper the following abbreviations will be
used
EW - The Eye of the World
GH - The Great Hunt
DR - The Dragon Reborn
SR - The Shadow Rising
l page citations will be to the hardcover editions;
chapter citations will be provided for the benefit of
readers using other editions.
1. Known Dates. This chronology will be based on
three known dates given in the Glossary and which are
assumed to be correct
(a) the Aiel War commenced in 976 NE and ended in 978
NE (SR p.684, Glossary under "Aiel War");
(b) Tigraine, the Daughter-Heir of Andor, disappeared in
972 NE (DR p. 593, Glossary under "Tigraine"; and
(c) the false dragon Logain was active in 997 NE (SR
p.689, Glossary under "Dragon, false"). It is also stated
in the Glossary that Siuan Sanche was elevated to the
Amyrlin Seat in 985 NE (DR p. 591, Glossary under "Siuan
Sanche"; note, however, that this date was not included in
the SR Glossary entry). However, for the reasons stated
below, this appears to be an error and has been
disregarded. An alternative date is suggested below.
2. Date of Action. As noted above, the Glossary
indicates that the false dragon Logain was active in 997
NE. Since Logain began his war and was captured and
gentled during the action of The Eye of the World (EW p.
167, ch. 14 and p. 496, ch. 39) we know that Moiraine's
first visit to Emond's Field occurred in the spring of 997
NE. This date is consistent with statements that the Aiel
war was "nearly twenty years ago" (GH p. 108-109, ch. 8,
and SR p. 117, ch. 8), with Moiraine's statement that she
and the Amyrlin have known of the birth of the Dragon
Reborn for "nearly twenty years" (GH p. 52, ch. 5), and
with the statement during the second year of the action
that Gitara Moroso, the former Keeper of the Chronicles
who died at the time of the Dragon's rebirth, has been
dead twenty years (SR p. 29, ch. 1). As discussed below,
this date is also consistent with the ages given for the
major characters.
3. Biographical Data. On the basis of the dates given
above, and the other biographical data cited below, we
can develop the following brief biographies
(a) Rand al'Thor. Rand was born on Dragonmount in the
battle that ended the Aiel War (see, for example, EW p.
73, ch. 6 and GH p. 109, ch. 8). It was winter and
snowing at the time (GH p. 108, ch. 8). Rand was therefore
born in the winter of 978 NE, and is 19 at the time of the

attack on Emond's Field. This is consistent with the
statements that he, Mat and Perrin are "not yet 20" (EW,
p. 438, ch. 34), that Moiraine and Siuan Sanche have been
searching for him for "nearly 20 years" (GH, p. 52, ch. 5)
and that his birth was "nearly 20 years ago" (GH p. 108,
ch. 8). Rand is the younger son of Tigraine, Daughter-Heir
of Andor, who disappeared in 972 NE, joined the Maidens of
the Spear that same year, and was adopted into the Chumai
sept of the Taardad Aiel. (For his resemblance to
Tigraine, see DR p. 373, ch. 39; DR p. 446, ch. 45; and SR
p. 267, ch. 23; for the story of his mother's journey to
the Waste and acceptance by the Aiel, see SR p. 392, ch.
34 and p. 664, ch. 57). Rand is half-brother to
Galadedrid Damodred (see below), the son of Tigraine and
Taringail Damodred, and is the nephew of Tigraine's
brother, Luc, who disappeared in the Blight in 971 NE (GH
p. 590, Glossary under "Luc"). Rand's father was Janduin,
of the Iron Mountain sept of the Taardad Aiel (SR p. 664,
ch. 57), clan chief of the Taardad and leader of the Aiel
in the Aiel War. Janduin was killed in the Blight,
probably by Rand's uncle Luc, shortly after the end of
Aiel War (SR p. 393, ch. 34). Rand was found on the slopes
of Dragonmount following the last battle of the Aiel War
(EW p. 73, ch. 6; GH p. 109-110, ch. 8) by Tam al'Thor, a
shepherd and farmer from the Two Rivers, who had left home
to join the army of Illian. Tam al'Thor had served in the
Whitecloak War and two wars with Tear, had become a
blademaster, a master of the sword, and had risen to
Second Captain of the Companions (GH p. 105, ch. 8), an
elite unit of the army of Illian that accompanied the
general of an army and were used as shock troops at the
key points of battles (SR p. 505, ch. 45). After serving
with the army of Illian in the Aiel War, Tam al'Thor
returned to the Two Rivers with his wife, Kari, from
Caemlyn, and Rand, still an infant (GH p. 105, ch. 8).
(b) Perrin Aybara. Since we know that Perrin was born
"within weeks" of Rand (EW p. 94, ch. 8), he must have
been born sometime in the winter of 978 NE, and is also 19
when the story begins. Perrin was raised on a farm half a
day east of Emond's Field, almost to the Waterwood, and is
the oldest of four children. His younger siblings, Adora,
b. 982, Deselle, b. 986 and Paetram, b. 989 (SR p. 327,
ch. 29) are killed by Trollocs in 998 NE. Perrin has been
apprenticed to Haral Luhan, the blacksmith of Emond's Field.
(c) Matrim Cauthon. Mat Cauthon was also born "within
weeks" of Rand al'Thor (EW p. 94, ch. 8), in 978, and is
therefore 19 at the time of Moiraine's first visit to
Emond's Field at Winternight, 997. Mat is the son of
Abell and Natti Cauthon and the oldest of three children.
His younger sisters, Eldrin and Bodewhin, together with
their mother, are captured and held by Whitecloaks in The
Shadow Rising, until rescued by Perrin Aybara.
(d) Egwene al'Vere. We know that Egwene is two years
younger than Rand (EW p. 35, ch. 3, GH p. 31, ch. 3 and SR
p. 57, ch. 2). She must therefore have been born in 980
NE, and would be 17 when we first meet her. She is the
youngest daughter of Brandelwyn ("Bran") al'Vere,
proprietor of the Winespring Inn and mayor of Emond's
Field, and his wife Marin (SR p. 329, ch. 29).
(e) Nynaeve al'Meara. In Nynaeve's case, errors and

<note 3 of 5>
inconsistencies in the books present some problems. On the
one hand, we are told that Nynaeve is seven years older
than Egwene (DR p. 515, ch. 51), which would place her
birth in 973 NE. This is consistent with her statement
that she can "just remember" Tam and Kari al'Thor
returning with Rand to Emond's Field (EW p. 202, ch. 16;
she would have been about five at the time) and that she
is "only a few years older" than Rand (GH p. 70, ch. 6),
just enough older to have looked after him when he was
little (GH, p. 115, ch. 8). She would then have been 24 at
the time of Moiraine's visit to Emond's Field. On the
other hand, we are also told that Nynaeve is up to a year
older than Galad (DR p. 150, ch. 16). Since Galad cannot
have been born after 972 (when his mother, Tigraine,
disappeared) and was likely born somewhat earlier (see
below), this would place Nynaeve's birth in approximately
971 NE or even earlier. This would make her at least nine
years older than Egwene and at least 26 at the time she
first meets Moiraine. Since Nynaeve's youth is emphasized
so strongly (for example, Moiraine calls her "child" at
their first meeting, EW p. 20, ch. 2, and she is described
as "little more than a girl", GH p. 47, ch. 4), the 973
date seems somewhat more likely. On the basis of this
date, Nynaeve is at least one and more likely two or three
years younger than Galad. Nynaeve's parents are dead, and
she seem to have no siblings (EW p. 196, ch. 16). When
the books begin, she is the Wisdom of Emond's Field (EW p.
7, ch. 1), having served her apprenticeship with the
previous Wisdom, Mistress Barran (EW p. 268, 270, ch. 21).
(f) Elayne. Elayne, of House Trakand, the Daughter-Heir
of Andor, is approximately the same age as Egwene al'Vere
(GH p. 300, ch. 24) and approximately two years younger
than Rand al'Thor (EW p. 499, ch. 40). Accordingly, we
may place her birth in 980 NE. She would be 17 when she
first meets Rand. She is the daughter of Queen Morgase
and Taringail Damodred, the sister of Gawyn and the
half-sister of Galad, and is Moiraine Damodred's niece
(see below).
(g) Gawyn. Gawyn is slightly older than Elayne (EW p.
499, ch. 40), and "much like" Rand in age (GH p. 392, ch.
32). He must therefore have been born in approximately 978
NE, and would be about 19 when the story begins. He is
the son of Queen Morgase and Taringail Damodred, the
brother of Elayne, the half-brother of Galad and
Moiraine's nephew.
(h) Galad. Galadedrid Damodred is the son of Tigraine
and Taringail Damodred, and must therefore have been born
before Tigraine disappeared in 972 NE. Unless Tigraine
abandoned Galad before his first birthday, he must
actually have been born in 971 NE or even earlier. If we
accept the latest of the possible dates for Nynaeve's
birth (see above), then Galad must be the older of the
two. Of course, it is possible that the date given for
Tigraine's disappearance is incorrect (if she disappeared
later, then Galad could be younger), but since Tigraine
(Shaiel) appeared in the Aiel Waste in 972 (four years
before "Laman's Sin" and the beginning of the Aiel War in
976 NE, SR p.392, ch. 34), the 972 date for her
disappearance appears to be correct. Galad must be at
least 25/26 when we first meet him. Galad is the older

half-brother of both Prince Gawyn of Andor and of Rand
al'Thor, and is Moiraine's nephew.
(i) Moiraine Damodred. Moiraine Damodred is Taringail
Damodred's youngest half-sister, and King Laman's niece
(SR p. 194, ch. 17). She is therefore the aunt of
Taringail's children Galad, Gawyn and Elayne (although her
niece and nephews appear to be unaware of this
relationship), and sister-in-law to Queen Morgase. She is
an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, having been raised to the
shawl shortly after the end of the Aiel War in 978 NE (GH
p. 270, ch. 22). Since she must have been in her late 20s
at the time, she would be in her late 40s, perhaps 46-48,
at the time of her first visit to Emond's Field. She is a
close friend of Siuan Sanche, the Amyrlin Seat, with whom
she was a novice in the White Tower.
(j) al'Lan Mandragoran. Lan is the son of al'Akir
Mandragoran and his queen el'Leanna, the last king and
queen of Malkier (EW p. 595-597, ch. 47). He has been
Moiraine Sedai's Warder for "nearly 20 years", since
Moiraine was raised to the shawl shortly after the end of
the Aiel War (GH p. 270, ch. 22). It appears that Lan
is approximately the same age as Moiraine, which would be
consistent with Nynaeve's observation that Lan is old
enough to be her father (GH p. 114, ch. 8), and with Lord
Agelmar's statement that the fall of Malkier, when Lan was
an infant, was "fewer than 50 years ago" (EW p. 595, ch.
47). Therefore Lan would also be approximately 46-48 at
the time of the first visit to Emond's Field.
(k) Aviendha. Aviendha is approximately the same age as
Egwene and Elayne (DR p. 360, ch. 38). We may assume that
she was born in approximately 980, and thus, like Egwene
and Elayne, is approximately 18 when they meet in The
Dragon Reborn during 998 NE. Aviendha is described in
several locations (DR p. 361, ch. 38 and SR p. 686,
Glossary under "Aviendha") as being of the "Bitter Water"
sept of the Taardad; the reference to "Nine Valleys" in
The Shadow Rising (SR p. 158, ch. 12) is erroneous.
(l) Siuan Sanche. Siuan Sanche, the Amyrlin Seat, is
the daughter of a poor fisherman's family from the Maule,
the port district of Tear (GH p. 46, ch. 4). We are told at
least twice, once in 997 NE and once in 998, that she has
been the Amyrlin Seat for nearly ten years (GH p. 46, ch.
4; DR p. 116, ch. 12). Later in 998 we are told that she
has been Amyrlin for over ten years (SR p. 23, ch.
1). If she had been raised in 985, as stated in the
Glossary (DR, p.591, Glossary under "Siuan Sanche"), she
would have been Amyrlin 12 or 13 years at the time of
these statements. Accordingly, the Glossary date must be
wrong (and in fact, the date has been removed from the
Glossary in The Shadow Rising). The correct date
would seem to be 988, with her tenth anniversary occurring
sometime between the statements in The Dragon
Reborn and The Shadow Rising.
(m) Thom Merrilin. We know little of Thom Merrilin,
except that he is a former Court Bard at the court
of Andor, in Caemlyn, and an adept player of the Game of
Houses. He became the lover of Queen Morgase of
Andor in the early 980s, after the death of Taringail
Damodred (which cannot have been much before the birth of
Elayne in 980). He may have been responsible for the

death of Taringail, who seems to have been plotting to
kill the Queen and seize power in Andor (SR p. 194, ch
17). His nephew Owyn was captured and gentled by the
Red Ajah in approximately 983 (SR p. 77 ch. 4; p. 195, ch.
17), and Thom's attempts to interfere with this
brought him afoul of Elaida and led to his breach with
Queen Morgase.
(n) Min. We know less of Min (Elmindreda) than of any
other significant character - not even her last name.
When we first meet her she is working at an inn in
Baerlon, but we do not know whether this is her native
city, and we know nothing of her family. She is described
as "a little older" than Rand (EW p. 180, ch. 15), and Mat
once described her, in jest, as "nearly as old as Nynaeve"
(EW p. 569, ch 45). It is likely that Mat exaggerates, but
Min is still likely to be a year or two older than Rand;
say 20 or 21 when they first meet.
(o) Zarine Bashere. Zarine (Faile) is the same age as
Perrin (DR p. 318, ch. 33 and p. 333, ch. 35), 20 years
old when they meet in The Dragon Reborn. She is the
oldest surviving child of Davram, Lord of Bashere,
Marshall-General of Saldea and uncle of Queen Tenobia;
Faile is thus the Queen's cousin (SR p. 471, ch. 41).
Since Queen Tenobia is eight years older than Faile (SR p.
649, ch. 56), the Queen would have been born in 970
NE, and would now be 28. Faile has at least one surviving
sibling, a younger brother Maedin, now 18 (SR p. 472, ch.
41).
4. General Chronological Table. On the basis of the
foregoing dates, we can construct the following general
chronology for the years leading up to beginning of The
Wheel of Time
Year Event
970 Queen Tenobia of Saldea born
971 Luc disappears in the Blight; [Galad born?]
972 Tigraine disappears; Shaiel joins Aiel
973 Nynaeve born
975 [The Sucession; contention for throne of Andor]
976 Laman's Sin; Aiel War begins
977 [Min born?]
978 Aiel War ends; Rand, Perrin, Mat, Gawyn, Faile
born; Moiraine, Siuan Sanche raised to Aes Sedai;
Moiraine meets Lan
980 Egwene, Elayne, Aviendha, Maedin Bashere born
981 [Taringail Damodred dies?]
983 [Thom Merrilin's nephew Owyn gentled; Thom
leaves Queen Morgase]
988 Siuan Sanche raised to Amyrlin Seat
997 The Eye of the World (spring)
The Great Hunt (summer, fall)
998 The Dragon Reborn (spring)
The Shadow Rising (summer)
It is remotely conceivable (if unlikely, given what we
know of Morgase's character), that Thom's relationship
with Morgase predated Taringail's death; even that Thom is
in fact Gawyn's and Elayne's natural father. If this were
the case, Elayne would be correct in her repeated
insistence that Galad is not her brother.

1.01 History of the breaking of the world.
1.02 "The mountain" must be Dragonmount. The portion that
states that the Rand should "sing to the land that green
things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs" may
indicate that the song that the Tuatha'an are searching
for will be found-perhaps by Rand. Artur Hawkwing's sword
is named Justice, but the exerpt stating "the great sword
of justice defend us" may merely be metephorical. "Let the
Dragon ride again on the winds of time" may have some
relevance to Perrin's dream which concerns Rand (4.08).
1.03 The "Sword held in the Stone" is Callandor (obvious
allusion to excalliber). It is interesting that it states
that "no hand but his should wield...[Callandor]. This
indicate that the theory that Logain will draw Callandor
from the Heart of the Stone is only speculation.

2.02 Could mean just about anything. The world is
definately in tourmoil, but it cannot be described as
"shattered" yet. Neither has he made it anew.
2.03 The first heron was received fighting Ishamael in
one of the Mirrors while traveling with Hurin and Loial
and hunting the horn in TGH. The second heron was received
at the end of TGH when he fought Ishamael again in the
mist above Falme. Here is where there is disagreement.
Some contest that Rand has yet to be marked a second time
by the Dragon. This is based partly on the fact that we
are not sure what price he must pay. The first heron sent

him to Falme with the Horn. The second saw him named the
Dragon Reborn. The first marking of the Dragon was for the
lost remembrance of the Aiel's past as Da'shain, servants
to the Aes Sedai. The theory is also based on some other
prophesy, namely one of Perrin's dreams (4.08)and two of
Egwene's dreams (4.02, 4.04).
2.04 "Twice dawns the day..." is probably the eclipse
theory, but some think Rand will use balefire (even if he
did, he wouldn't travel back in time, the time that
elapsed just would not have happened.) "Once for mourning"
may be Rand's death or someone elses. It's unclear. Once
for birth, may be for the birth of the Fourth Age, or for
the birth of Rand's supposed offspring. It has been
speculated that by some off chance, Aviendha conceived.

he received in Falme- doesn't necessarily mean death. Rand
will battle with the Dark One in the Pit of Doom. Some
believe he will seal himself in with the Dark One this
time.
2.05 Rand will face the Dark One in the Last Battle.
2.06 Perrin, Hurin, Ingtar, Mat and Rand rode into Falme,
but Ingtar sacrificed himself so that they could escape
alive. The watchers are probably the Do Miere A'vron in
Falme where he was marked by the Heron the second time and
fought Ishamael in the sky ("banner cross the sky in
fire") causing him to be named the Dragon Reborn.
2.07 Rand's intentions were to lead the Aiel across the
Dragonwall and bind the nations to him by concurring them
with the Aiel. He hoped that this would give the world a
short time of peace in which they could prepare for the
coming of the Dark One. While in service to Rand for this
purpose, they will apparently be slain in battle and then
almost utterly at the upcoming Battle of Tar Valon. He has
already begun destroying them with the leaf when he told
them of their origins at the end of TSR. The Aiel once
followed the Way of the Leaf. To the Aielman's way of
thinking, their ancestors swore to be gai'shain and swore
for all of their decendants to be gai'shain. In breaking
their oath to the Aes Sedia, their ancestors broke
ji'e'toh in taking up the spear, which is nearly the worst
thing an Aiel can do.
To "bind the nine moons to serve him" must refer to the
Seanchan since the only nine moons mentioned is the Court
of the Nine Moons which the Empress is reputed to lead.
I would guess that the "wound of madness and cutting of
hope" that he is to heal is the taint, however the taint
isn't a "wound" of madness, but the precipitator of it.
Perhaps it is the wound in his side. Egwene said that it
felt as though it housed all the evil of the world. If it
were filled with the taint, then it would be a wound
filled "of madness." The cutting of hope may refer to the
taint contained in it. I doubt it.
The chains he has broken are those that connected Asmodean
and Ishamael to the Dark One. He put Asmodean in chains
when he recruted him as a teacher.
2.08 Rand's blood letting will free man from the Dark One.
2.09 "Power of the Shadow made human flesh, wakened to
turmoil, strife and ruin." This must refer to the
Forsaken. Rand "dances the sword in dreams and mist." The

fight in Falme is the dancing of the sword in the mist and
he has fought with the sword in dreams many times. He
secured Asmodean as his teacher, thus fulfilling the
segment "...chains the Shadowsworn to his will..." "From
the city, lost and forsaken..."-Rhuidean- he has led the
Aiel to war w/ the Shaido in Cairhien. The Aiel are not
broken yet, though he has told them of their ancestry. The
ancient dream may be Tel'aran'rhiod or it may be the
Tuath'an's dream to find the song, or it may be the
Ter'angreal in Rhuidean that shows the Wise Ones and Clan
Chiefs the Aiel's history.
2.10 The Karaethon prophecy makes no mention of Perrin or
Mat.
2.11 "Into the heart..." Into the Heart of the Stone.
"his sword..." Callandor. "to hold their hearts..." to
assure the Tairens of his return thus securing his hold of
Tear. "Who draws it out shall follow after,/What hand
shall grasp that fearful blade?" It has been speculated
that Logain would draw Callandor from the Stone. This line
does indicate that someone other than the Dragon Reborn
will draw Callandor. However, perhaps it means who will be
the Dragon Reborn in the next age and is questioning what
new face will Lews Therin/Rand al'Thor wear in the next
age when he shall draw it from the Stone again.
b. commentaries and translations from the Third Age
on the Karaethon Cycle
2.12 Nations shattering, the Dark One gains power in the
world again...Lews Therin will be reborn as Rand al'Thor
and be man's salvation in the Last Battle. This seems to
be another translation of the same portion of the
Karaethon Cycle that Siuan quoted (2.02).
2.13 interpretation of 2.06
2.14 Would seem to be another translation of the same
passage that was translated in 2.12 and 2.02.
2.15 Another translation of the same passage as
translated in 2.11, but it includes the portion that
foretells Rand's birth by a Far Dareis Mai (Shaiel who is
Tigraine).
2.16 Nothing vastly different from the previous passages
besides one portion which states "The wall is pierced, and
the veil of parting raised." Perhaps this is a reference
to the Sharrans or perhaps only a part of it is. The wall
may refer to Sharra or to the Shining Walls of Tar Valon.
ii. prophecy pertaining to a certain people.
a. The Jendai Prophecy.
2.17 Rand channels. Rand holds Callandor. The People of
the Dragon have taken the stone (at his call?-not
exactly...). The Stone of Tear has fallen, war...The
Seanchan have returned and the Corenne was halted by Rand,
the Whitecloaks, the Shienarans and the Heroes of the Horn
in Falme for the first time. Evidently they will be driven
back again as the wording would imply. Moiraine serves
him, after a fashion, though none that I know of have
knelt to wash his feet with their hair. That may be
metephorical or it may come to pass to the letter.
Whtever, it is a biblical allusion.

2.19 Rand came from the Two Rivers, but his biological
father was Janduin. He went to Rhuidean and then lead them
from Rhuidean to Cairhien to fight the Shaido. "Under this
sign he will conquer" may have two meanings. First, he
slew the Darkhounds under the ancient Aes Sedai symbol in
Rhidean and then he took Cairhien under a banner with the
symbol on it. Undoubtably both or either would satisfy the
prophecy.
2.20 Dragon Reborn may not be the Car'a'carn, but he

his father Janduin, but he was raised by the blood of
Manetheren in the Two Rivers. He came out of Rhuidean at
dawn and he has kept the Aiel together. "He will take you
back" may refer to him taking the Aiel back across the
Dragonwall or it may mean he will taken them back to serve
Aes Sedai..."and he will destroy you..." Probably refers
to his destroying them by telling them of the Da'shain.
2.22 "yet the remnant of a remnant shall he save, and
they shall live." Rand will slay the Aiel in battle,
perhaps against the nations or perhaps against the
Seanchan at a battle at the footsteps of Tar Valon.

last battle and as we saw at other times (Falme).
2.27 This told us that the those that are called by the
Horn of Valere will follow whoever winds it, which is not
necessarily true considering Hawkwing's words in TGH at
Falme (2.29).
2.28 When Mat sounded the horn the first time, he wasn't
thinking of glory. Whether he was thinking of salvation is
unclear. Perhaps this is meant for the last battle.
2.29 We discover that the Heroes of the Horn may come to
the Horn, but they must follow the Dragon's banner, and
the Dragon.
3. Foretellings.
ii. Elaida's Foretellings.
3.01 Death/distruction. That whole bit. Not exactly
enlightening.
3.02 "...The Royal line of Andor would be the key to
defeating the Dark One in the Last Battle..." Technically,
Rand shouldn't be considered of the Royal line of Andor.
He isn't in a position to inherit which this would
suggest. Thus, this Foretelling might refer to Tigraine
who birthed Rand while she was a Maiden on Dragonmount.
ii. Diendre's Foretellings.
3.03 The Aiel have a part to play. Rhuidean. Clearly
there was some indication that the Aiel would not keep the
Covenant, which explain's Solinda's warning.
iii. Gitara Moroso's Foretellings.
3.04 Gitara Morosa Foretelling Rand al'Thor, the Dragon
Reborn's, birth.
3.05 This Foretelling sent Tigraine into the Waste to
become a Maiden of the Spear and as Shaiel became
Janduin's lover and returned to Tar Valon during the Aiel
War to give birth to Rand. "She could not return to her
own land..." I'm not sure what this means. Surely she died
on Dragonmount?
4. Dreams.
i. Egwene's dreams.
4.01 Ishamael/Ba'alzamon would the man with a mask over
his face. Rand sleeping on the Portal Stone with
Lanfear/Selene standing over him. I think this indicates
that Lanfear brought Rand and company into the Mirror
world in the first place.
4.02
Seanchan-Aes Sedai captured as damane forced to fight
the White Tower. The captured Aes Sedai may be the Salidar
Aes Sedai as Min's visions seem to indicate(5.12).
Whitecloaks-Whitecloak invasion of the Two Rivers.
Rand-Callandor and Ba'lal's (The Weaver?) trap.
Rhuidean I think, but kneeling? I don't remember that.
Rand walking into the Pit of Doom. I think this
confronting of Seanchan was the skirmish in FOH when Rand
and Aviendha were in Seanchan.
Perrin-The falcon is Faile and the hawk is Berelain.
The falcon on his shoulder probably symbolizes their
marriage, while the hawk with a leash in hand(claw as

things go) trying to fasten it around his neck symbolizes
her struggle to take Perrin away from Faile. Perrin has a
beard because of Faile. However as yet, there have been no
wolves nearby in the Two Rivers much less a huge pack of
wolves that stretched as far as the eye could see for
Perrin to lead.
Mat-Mat's eye must have been the price for his wishes
granted from the Eelfinn(left eye). After having his
wishes granted, he was found hanging from Avendesora by
Rand in TSR. Whatever is to happen between Mat and the
Seanchan was considered nightmarish by Egwene. After his
wishes were granted, Mat has been able to speak the Old
Tongue fluently.
4.03
Rand-The sword that blazed like a sun is Callandor.
He was threatened in TDR in Tel'aran'rhiod while he was
traveling to the Stone of Tear. Thus, none of the attacks
were "real" in the sense that they were not occuring in
the real world despite the fact that wounds acquired in
Tel'aran'rhiod remain when waking-except death, in which
case one would not wake. Rand was at the time in danger
from both Ba'alzamon/Ishamael and Lanfear.
Perrin-The wolf is Hopper. The falcon is Faile and
the hawk is Berelain. Faile and Berelain fought in TSR
over Perrin and Berelain vowed to take Perrin away from
Faile and keep him as a pet for as long as he amuses
her-unresolved subplot _there._ The stepping off the cliff
may be when Perrin decided to give himself up the the
Whitecloaks in order to save the village. I doubt it. I
believe that this will have something to do with resolving
his conflict with the part of him that wants to run with
the wolves. The Aiel is Gaul.
Min-Min's arival to Tar Valon precipitated the
breaking of the Tower by further arrousing Elaida's
suspicions. However, Elaida's trap was not aimed at Min
specifically and Min was unhurt (physically) by the affair
and managed to survive it w/o ever being caught. Thus, she
sprung the trap and walked through it without so much as
seeing it...until it had caught Suian and Leane and caused
the breaking of the Tower. Even now she doesn't realize
that her arrival began those events.
Mat-Mat suspends the laws of chance, or this dream
might refer to his night of dicing in Tar Valon. A Gray
Man followed Mat until Mat killed him in Tar Valon. There
might have been more than just that one following him.
Riding towards Caemlyn to deliver Elayne's letter to
Morgase. The woman tossing fireworks is Aludra, the
exIlluminator.
general-The men and women breaking out of a cage, and
then putting on crowns are the Forsaken. The next portion
describes just about everyone in the entire series-someone
pulling strings. Galldrian's death. Morgase weeping? The
succession in Cairhien and the taking of the Stone,
possibly others. The Whitecloaks commanded by Dain
Bornhald and accompanied by Ordieth/Padan
Fain/Mordeth/etc. The Coreene will resume and the Seanchan
will return to the mainland to slay the "ancient wrong."

the Seanchan will return. It's hard to say since Egwene

refuses to think about their parts in her dreams.
Master Luhhan-Master Luhhan was arrested and held in
the Whitecloaks encampment as a trap to snag Perrin when
he tried to rescue him, his wife and Mat's two sisters.
They were rescued anyway, though.
Perrin-The fact that the falcon is now on his
shoulder may be symbolic of Perrin's marriage to Faile. I
still haven't quite "gotten" the whole significance of the
choice between the axe and the hammer. I would assume that
now that he has a tie to him, he might be less willing to
risk himself using violent means to combat the Dark One.
Aaron17 says that the choice is to create or to destroy.
Mat-Mat made a wager w/ Rhavin/Gaebril and he left
Caemlyn to save Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne from Comar.
Rand-Rand sneaking across the country to see if he
could wield Callandor while the surviving Forsaken, six
male (Rahvin, Sammael, Ba'lal, Ishamael, Asmodean,
Demandred) and five female (Lanfear, Semirhage, Graendal,
Moghedien, and Mesaana), are either hunting him or
ignoring him. Some want him to reach Callandor (Ba'lal,
Lanfear?) whereas others do not. Perhaps some see him in
Tel'aran'rhiod, thus explaining the "flashes." Maybe not.
One is Ba'alzamon/Ishamael and he wants Rand dead. Rand is
in the dry, dusty chamber for a second time-this is either
Rhuidean or it is something to come or it's something I'm
not aware of. Now Rand confronts a "horde" of
Seanchan-this may support the theory that there will be a
battle between the Aiel ("ancient wrong") and the Seanchan
(the "seed"). Then confronting Egwene and the women with
her (the survivers of Salidar and other renigade Aes Sedai
who were not captured by Seanchan?). One of the women with
her is Seanchan. This may be Egeanin or it may be some
other Seanchan (perhaps the elephant trainer? or the
Daughter of the Nine Moons? Naahh.).
4.05
Rand-I don't really know what any of this dream is
prophecizing, I can only guess. Rand's on a power trip and
maybe going mad? Rand is chained by the Black Ajah w/ the
black collar that was created during the Breaking. Rand
seals himself inside with the Dark One and continues his
fight w/ Shai't*n for the rest of eternity in Shayol Ghul,
thus explaining why this is _the_ last battle and not just
another conflict?
Aiel-The fight between the Shaido and the other clans
and the bleakness.
Mat-It has been suggested that the Seanchan woman may
be the Daughter of the Nine Moons/Tuon (favored by the
Empress for succession) and Mat's marriage may be a
political one, explaining why they are fighting and the
leash.
Perrin-Perrin fighting in Tel'aran'rhiod (wolf) and
awake with Slayer (the man whose face keeps changing
because in the real world he appears to be Luc, Tigraine's
brother, and in the dream he appears to be Isam, Lan's
cousin and son of Breyen and Lain Mandragoran.
Incidentily, I think Mantear may be a Murandian House and
that he took his father's House name as Galadrid has taken
his father's House name, Damodred.

I'm unsure.
Gawyn-Gawyn killed his teacher, Hammar and the Master
of Arms, Coulin, two people he undoubtably respected for a
cause that turned out worthless when he allowed Suian
(whom he hates and distruts at the moment) and Leane to
escape on Min's request.
Marin al'Vere-She could have wept over any number of
things since the Whitecloaks and the Trollocs came to Two
Rivers. If it isn't fulfilled than, I couldn't guess.
4.06
Rand-Rand assumes control of Andor and Morgase isn't
to happy about it. So unhappy, in fact, that she is
willing to do anything to get her position back-ask for
help from the Whitecloaks? And she doesn't even know yet
that the DR has killed Gaebril/Rhavin. In light of the
fact that the Forsaken has been removed from the scene, I
wonder if she will still consider the sacrifice of
bringing the Whitecloaks into Andor neccessary?
Perrin-Happily married. His banner and the banner of
Manetheren. Aram is a danger to the marriage? Emond's
field? Somehow the danger involves his closeness to
Perrin, perhaps the danger of a growing friendship rather
than his physical proximity.
Mat-Mat's deal with the Eelfinn and the blood
streaming down his face would then be his part of the
bargain. The loss of his left eye.
Thom-OK, this is a long shot. Since Thom is
apparently saving Moiraine from her little hot spot while
Mat is throwing dice and making his payment, I will guess
that they will both go to save Moiraine from the Eelfinn
through the Tower of Ghenji and at this time, Mat will
distract the Eelfinn by dealing with them. He will be
forced to make his payment for the previous bargain
through the loss of his left eye.
general-Maybe the battle of Cairhien or maybe
something in the future.
ii. Perrin's dreams.
4.07
Mat-I think that this is again Mat's bargain with the
Fox people. However, it describes his opponent as having
eyes of fire. It may be another reference to his wager
with Rhavin which his winning of would probably thwart
Ishamael's plans also.
Egwene and Nynaeve and Elayne-They walked right into
the trap at Tear that they knew was there waiting for
them. Liandrin laughing at them and Lanfear laughing at
her.
4.08
Rand-I think that this indicates that there will be
another marking of the Dragons. However it doesn't mention
any more "settling into the skin," so I'm uncertain.
Perhaps it is merely indicating that Rand will go mad for
a time. Someone is watching Rand and he may not know it.
It could have been Sammael diguised as Pevin except that
Pevin died from a Trolloc spear at the end of FOH. Perhaps
some other Forsaken we haven't met yet is one of Rand's
followers. Aaron17 suggest Kadere.
Nynaeve and Elayne-hunting the Black Ajah and what
they were after in Tel'aran'rhiod in Tarabon.

Mat-He could have gone to Emond's Field with Perrin,
but he stayed and went through the red stone
_ter'angreal._ Flipped a coin at the Portal Stone to
decide which symbol would bring them to Rhuidean which
resulted in his going to Rhuidean and acquiring his staff
bearing a short sword blade. Another coin resulted in his
acquisition of his wide brimmed hat from Kadere.
Egwene and Amys-I think this adds support to my
theory that there will be a battle between the Aiel and
the Seanchan at Tar Valon and that it will go badly (thus
explaining why Egwene has even a chance at becoming
Amyrlin). Since they are in front of the White Tower, you
could say that they are defending it. It crumbles because
they are loosing. However, it may be that the Tower is in
the process of falling anyway and the fact that the White
Tower is behind Egwene and Amys is of no consequence.
4.09
Egwene-Those Aes Sedai that are left from Salidar or
the Battle of Tar Valon (between the Seanchan and Aiel) or
some other calamity will accept Egwene as their leader.
Egwene becomes Amyrlin. Both Nynaeve and Elayne are among
the survivers.
Mat-I think that this is a reference to when the
Eelfinn will collect their price. It may have something to
do with the Seanchan, though there is no indication of such.
Rand-This is probably connected with Min's vision of
a beggar's staff. It sounds very Oedipus Rexish, but I
wouldn't think that the condition results from the same
sequence of events. However, I believe that Rand will do
something that he cannot forgive himself for and this is
his self punishment. If not, then I cannot guess.
iii. Wise One's dreams.
4.10 The Wise One's dreamed that Aviendha would come with
Rand by way of the Portal Stone.
4.11 Just included to indicate that we haven't heard half
of what they said to Moiraine.
4.12 Reference to the Wise One's prediction in 4.10.
4.13 Connected to 4.10. Amys knew that Rhuarc would come
on that day to the slopes of Chaendar.
4.14 Another reference that the Wise One's dreamed of
their arrival.
4.15 Lan might not have come, ergo he could possibly have
gone with Nynaeve, or he could have died.
4.16 The Wise Ones knew that Moiraine should go through
the _ter'angreal_ in Rhuidean, the consequence of not
doing so is unknown.
4.17 ...wreath...It is an aiel custom for the female to
lay a bridal wreath in front of the man she wishes to
marry. If they were so desperate to make Rand see Aiel
blood for his own, I don't think that their first choice
would have been Aviendha. In fact, for them to have kept
using Aviendha for so long when things had been looking so
bleak in that direction, I think they must have dreamed
that Aviendha and Rand would have a relationship.

I think they must have married eventually. Either way
whatever happened has been fulfilled by now.
v. Sorelle's dreams.
4.20 Dreamed that she would get a fever at twenty. She did
and died.
vi. Rand's dreams.
4.21 Ishamael first beginning to touch Rand's dreams.
4.22 Another Ishamael haunted dream.
4.23 In Moiraine's description of the fall of Aridhol,
she says, "How Thorin's son, Caar, came to win Aridhol
back to the Second Covenant, and Balwen sat his throne, a
withered shell with the light of madness in his eyes,
laughting while Mordeth smiled at his side and ordered the
deaths of Caar and the embassy as Friends of the Dark. How
Prince Caar came to be called Caar One-Hand. How he
escaped the dungeons of Aridhol and fled alone to the
Borderlands with Mordeth's unnatural assasins at his
heels." With this in mind, my analysis of the dream is
this: Rand meshed all the recent things that had happened
to him together and had a normal nightmare. Tam's sword
has become important to him. In Baerlon, Min told him of
Lan's aura, of a baby in a cradle carrying a sword. The
persuit of Prince Caar by Mordeth's unnatural assasins and
Prince Caar's loss of his hand. the old man must then be
Balwen.
4.24 Ishamael in Rand's dream.
4.25 Ordinary nightmare spawned from all the unusual
happenings and from the stress of running and being
hunted. Where he got the "Dragon is one with the land" and
the "Queen is wed with the land," I don't know. It sounds
celtic.
4.26 Blacked out when he fell over the wall. Either an
ordinary nightmare turned Ishamael invaded, or just an
ordinary nightmare.
4.27 Ishamael haunted dream.
4.28 Ordinary dream created by his subconscious based on
what had been happening so far. Suprisingly insightful
dream. His subconcious notices that Moiraine is prodding
him because of her fears of what will happen if he doesn't
accept his destiny. His problem deciding between Min and
Elayne finds it's way into his dream as well as his fear
of going mad and decaying from the taint.
4.29 Lanfear enters Rand's dream which had been of Elayne
and Min again with Aviendha making her first appearance.
4.30 Elayne, Min, and Aviendha are constantly in Rand's
dreams now.
4.31 A dream of Aviendha.
4.32 Another ordinary dream resulting from Melaine's
wedding and his own subconscious desires.
4.33 Nothing prophetic.
5. Visions.
i. Min's visions.
5.01
group-The group is central to the events leading to
the Last Battle and the events during the Last Battle. In
danger.

<note 12 of 18>
Egwene & Thom-Both part of it. Egwene will not marry
Rand, be his lover, or any of the above. She will become
Aes Sedai.
Lan-Lan's past/Malkier, etc.
Thom-Owen, Thom's nephew who could channel. The White
Tower is probably in his aura because he attempted to save
Owen from the Tower, or at least because he is attempting
to save Rand from the Tower. However, it could mean he can
learn to channel or that he can channel. I doubt it.
Perrin-Perrin will become a wolfbrother. The meaning
of the trees flowering around him is possibly freom TSR
when Perrin is under apple blossoms where family buried.
Probably it hasn't occured yet. The broken crown might
have something to do with Manetheren or at least with his
new found Lordship of the Two Rivers.
Mat-The red eagle could mean that he is Aemon reborn,
however in most cases Mat has been a millitary advisor,
not the one in charge. Again the left eye is his price for
his bargain with the Eelfinn. The dagger retreived from
Shadar Logoth/Aridhol. Mat would blow the Horn of Valere
and become linked with it (still is?). Mat's sense of
humor?
Rand-Callandor is the sword that isn't a sword. The
golden crown of laurel leaves may symbolize victory, or it
has not been fulfilled. The beggar staff theory is
mentioned elsewhere, however it is yet unfulfilled. The
pouring of water on sand could have been fulfilled either
by the lake created when Rand fought Asmodean/Joar Addam
Nessosin or when he caused the fountain's to run again or
when he caused it to rain in Al'cair Dal. The bloody hand
has several theories to it which are covered the FAQ.
Essentially, the actual event that this predicts cannot be
guessed. The three women standing over Rand's funeral bier
is probably that actual vision that Min had where she
discovered that she would fall in love with him as well as
Elayne and Aviendha. The funeral bier would indicate that
Rand will die. The blood on the rocks of Shayol Ghul
again. Danger.
5.02
Egwene-Egwene will be Amyrlin. White Flame of Tar
Valon.
Elayne-Elayne will have to share Rand with Min and
Aviendha. She will be Queen of Andor. Someone is going to
loose a hand, maybe Rand.
5.03 Elayne is part of the group.
5.04 Rand won't marry Egwene, but will likely marry
Elayne, Aviendha, and Min.
5.05 Elayne is linked to Rand, Perrin, Mat, and Galad.
5.06
Nynaeve-Nynaeve will be in trouble and the ring will
be in her rescue.
Elayne-Another reference to an iron. A "white hot"
iron was mentioned in Rand's viewing in Baerlon (5.01).
The significance of the axe is unknown.
Both-The images mean trouble, but it will occur in
the distant future (soon, perhaps? only three books
left...)
5.07 Aviendha and the relationship that Rand will have
with them all is uncertain. Which is strange since it
specifically says in the viewing of Elayne at Tar Valon

(5.02) that Elayne will have to share her _husband_ with
two other women. That indicates to me that they will all
be married to Rand as is the Aiel custom.
5.08
Perrin-Gaul when he was captured by Hunters of the
Horn and caged in the village of Remen. Aram was the
Tuatha'an with a sword. Now both falcone and hawk perch on
his shoulders. The significance of that is unknown to me.
If perching on his shoulder does signify marriage (?),
then something strange is going to happen. The odd thing
is that here Faile and Berelain are not fighting. The
usual danger stuff.
5.09
Ananda-dead
Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah-dead
Aes Sedai w/ blue eyes-dead
Three Aes Sedai-three above would die
Accepted-caged, maybe dead
Sheriam-wouldn't die
Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah-dead
warders-wounds, death
servants-bear signs of violence
An Aes Sedai-more captivity
another-an a'dam
Gawyn-I think his "hurt" is that he killed Hammar and
Coulin and the feat was made pointless when he lets Siuan
walk free. He was in the wrong when he killed Hammar and
Coulin, but he didn't know that at the time. Then again,
he could simply have stood aside-well, lets not argue
ethics. Whatever, it's evident that he's done something
wrong to his thinking, either in killing Hammar and Coulin
or in letting Siuan and Leane go. I suppose in killing
Hammar and Coulin, he earned a right to a blademaster's
sword-perhaps he took one of their swords. He was also
threatened by a Warder's sword when he fought them. The
green field may signify that he will become a Warder to
the Green Ajah, to Egwene. Or it could tie him to the
Seanchan. According to Aaron17, the colors gold and green
are repeatedly mentioned in the chapter, "A Short Spear,"
in FOH.
Leane-she would be tortured and stilled-not
necessarily in that order.
Suian Sanche-Suian would be stilled, stripped, and
left locked up in one of the deep cells where no one has
been confined since Bonwhin.
Rand-I don't know about the faces being blurred. I
think she lied. Elayne, Min and Aviendha would fall in
love w/ Rand.
5.10
Logain-The Cairhien flag is a "many-rayed golden sun
rising from the bottom of a field of sky blue." I
personally think that Logain and Sheriam (5.12) are
destined to be the rulers of Cairhien. Nuts, I know! Then
there is also Turak's banner. <TGH, Chapter 34, The Wheel
Weaves, p415> "Fain eyed the blue-bordered banner flapping
above the roof, the spread-winged hawk clutching lightning
bolts, and chortled inside himself..." <TGH, Chapter 42,
Falme, p501> "Above the rooftops, on the next street, the
golden hawk banner of the High Lord Turak flapped in the
wind." Considering that many of the visions Min had in

Salidar of Aes Sedai were connected with the Seanchan, it
might be wise to believe that the Seanchan may also have a
connection with this viewing. Or none of this may have any
bearing...Either way, I must question the theory that
Logain will pull out Callandor because I cannot see how
Sheriam would fit into that.
5.11
Logain-covered in 5.10.
Gawyn-Either Gawyn will come to realize that Egwene
and Suian are in the right, or he will do everything in
his power to thwart them/Egwene.
5.12
Sheriam-Must somehow be connected with Logain-too
similar not to be.(5.10)
Carlinya-"To wear the ravens was to be the property
of the Imperial family." <TSR, Chapter 38, Hidden Faces,
p441> Clearly, Carlinya is going to be captured and made
the property of the Empress or some member of that family.
Edesina-Will be captured and made damane, but she
will escape somehow.
5.13
Siuane Sanche and Gareth Bryne-The bull ripping roses
from around his neck signifies that Gareth Bryne has
abandoned his allegiance to Morgase. The rest is pretty
clear. Should Siuan and Gareth be seperated by too great a
distance for too long, they will both die.
5.14
Faolain-Faolain has a nice future.
5.15
Marigan, Nicola, and Areina-Marigan, Nicola, and
Areina are trouble. Which isn't suprising considering that
Areina is Moghedian, Nicola is Temaile Kinderode, and
Marigan is Chesmal Emry.
5.16
ii. Aelfinn's visions
a. Mat's questions and the Eelfinn's answers
5.17 He has gone to Rhuidean and made a deal with the
Eelfinn/Foxes for which he must pay the price of loosing
his left eye. The Daughter of the Nine Moons is Tuon,
second daughter of the Empress and currently favored for
succession. I don't know exactly what to live again a part
of what was is since he has died many times, but I would
imagine that the Eelfinn killed him in order to fulfill
this prophecy and in order to sever his tie to the Horn so
that the Aes Sedai do not have that hold on him. You
could say that he is a part of what was though his
memories of his past lives. It is currently held that
Mat's act of giving up half the light of the world is a
clever way of restating that he will loose his left eye.
To save the world? Maybe to save Moiraine, but how he will
save the world in loosing his eye, I don't know.
b. What we know of Rand's answers
5.18 One of Rand's questions must have been concerning
Elayne since the book _Dealings with the Territory of
Mayene_ was one that tipped him off on the red stone
ter'angreal that would take you to Aelfinn land.
5.19 Either Rand is smarter than he appears or he asked a
few questions of the Snakes concerning Cairhien and other
matters. I don't really think he asked a question

concerning Alteima.
5.20 He knows exactly who he will have rule Cairhien.
That's unusual, because he doesn't know Logain and I don't
know who he trusts enough to sit on the throne that he
does know. Thus, I think he had that answer from the red
stone _ter'angreal._
5.21 He plans to come back for Callandor...I would guess
he meant to say, "Just until I learn to control Saidin."
5.22 Support for 5.21.
5.23 Moiraine suspects he got these ideas from his
answers in the _ter'angreal._
5.24 He asked no question that Rhuidean was an answer to.
c. What we know of Moiraine's answers
5.25 She and for that matter no one asked questions
touching the Dragon Reborn or the Shadow.
5.26 One of her answer must have been that she would see
Thom again because she cannot Foretell.
5.27 Another of her answers must have been that she go
through the rings in Rhuidean because she says after the
Wise Ones slip that they had dreamed it that the "Old
Tongue is often difficult to translate." Clearly she was
refering to her experiance in the _ter'angreal_ because
the Aelfinn use a rather harsh dialect of the Old Tongue
for their dealings with men.
5.28 If Moiraine was to have brought up going, she must
have had it for an answer in Rhuidean. No one not of Aiel
blood is normally allowed into Rhuidean.
6. Ter'angreal used by the Wise Ones in Rhuidean.
i. Aviendha.
6.01 Aviendha must have seen Rand in her future. Andrea
Leistra speculated that "she is so concerned with keeping
Rand faithful to Elayne that she is upset if even *she*
makes him break that. Also, consider that she still
considers herself a Maiden of the Spear and isn't very
happy with the whole concept of marraige as it pertains to
her."
6.02 more evidense to support 6.01.
6.03 ditto.
6.04 ditto.
ii. Moiraine.
6.05 Something or someone might come between her and
seeing that Rand is ready to face the Last Battle. Perhaps
even herself if she really thought she would die and she
was not willing to give up her life for the world
(understandable). Some she knew already? Is that from the
rings in Tar Valon? Don't get excited, I still don't
believe that that ter'angreal is predictive. After all,
how could that maze world that Nynaeve faced Aginor in be
a world?
6.06 Moiraine knew that the Dragons of Rhuidean could be
duplicated. Possibly from this ter'angeal.
6.07 In one alternative, she might have considered
sleeping with Rand or actually have done it in the future
because of her increasing desperation.
6.08 Explains how she knew that news would come of
Morgase and that they would go out to the docks and from
there it could branch three ways. She doesn't know what

happens in the world after she entered the _ter'angreal,_
which means that either she thinks she will die or that
the other _ter'angreal_ simply did not continue from
there. I think that the only event that she knows that
will happen in the world after is that Lan will be passed
from Myrelle to Nynaeve-though even there I am uncertain
that that is what she is refering to. She never mentions
that she is dead or that she would die. Thus, I find it
unlikely that she actually thinks that she would cease to
exist. Rather, I think she simply doesn't know. She knows
that she will see Thom again because of the answer she had
from the Aelfinn. I believe that the _ter'angreal_ in
Rhuidean simply didn't continue to present alternatives
from the point where she fell into the Eelfinn
_ter'angreal_ gateway. Whatever the case, I'm sure that
she was afraid that events wouldn't play out as she wanted
them to.
7. Eelfinn.
7.01 Mat's memory was restored. He received the fox head
amulet to be free of the Power and he was hung from
Avendesora and killed to cease his link with the Horn of
Valere (maybe). He was allowed to leave the land of the
Eelfinn.
7.02 ? A written agreement that their bargain will be
fulfilled on both sides.

A TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO INNS
Often in traveling it is cumbersome to find a
comfortable inn. Most people make their decisions
on availability, appearance, and price. However, it
is not always assured that there will be good service,
good food, good entertainment, or comfort without the
inn having been recommended beforehand. In order to
make your trip a safe and comfortable one, we have
made a Traveler's Guide to Inns in which each inn is
rated in service and comfort for your convenience.
Where available, information on the Innkeeper, Serving
Women/Men and on Entertainment are included. Even
information on the location, other than the city it
is located in, is included when the information was
given to us. We hope you enjoy our Guide and have
a pleasurable trip on every excursion.
note: the prices of a stay are not listed
BAERLON-
Stag and Lion- The atmosphere is appealing. On the
walls are colorful pictures of ornate buildings with
gardens of tall trees and bright flowers are painted
on the walls. Instead of one huge fireplace, a hearth
blazes on each wall, and scores of tables fill the
floor of the room. There has been news that the Inn
burned down in an unfortunate incident with the Children
of the Light. These are, so far, only rumors. The
Inn is highly recommended for excellent service and
cleanliness. R: * * * * 1/2

recommended, several of our reports have positively
raved over it. The Inn's sign is of a man kneeling
before a woman with red-gold hair and a crown, one
of her hands is resting on his bowed head. The inn
has a hired man and has a certain strange freedom from
rodents. R: * * * * *

that it does not quite cover

The Winespring Inn- The cook here serves some of the
best Two Rivers food. The service is relatively slow,
but it's atmosphere would not be enjoyed as much if
it was taken at any faster a pace.

Innkeeper-(also mayor of the town) Branwin al'Vere
FOUR KINGS-
The Dancing Cartman- We've had several bad reports
on this inn, it is not the only one in the town and
we recommend avoiding it. The Inn is yellow trimmed
in bright red and bilious, eye-wrenching green. Here
and there the pain is cracked and peeling. Dirt crusts
the floor and cobwebs fill the corners of the ceiling.
R: *
Innkeeper-Saml Hake, a bony man with long, stringy
hair to his shoulders
Hired Men-Jak and Stum
Entertainment-a man plays the dulcimer
ILLIAN-
Easing the Badger- The inn is located past The Bridge
of Flowers in the Perfumed Quarter of the city. The
sign has a white-striped badger dancing on its hind
legs with a man carrying what seems to be a silver
shovel. The common room has sawdust on the floor,
and tabac smoke filles the air. It also smells of
wine, and fish cooking in the kitchen, and a heavy,
flowered perfume. The exposed beams of the high ceiling
are rough-hewn and age-dark. The beds are wide, and
mattresses soft. The doors to the rooms are made of
tilted slats, there are pegs for hanging things. The
inn serves a nearly round white fish with red stripes
(Red-stripe). R: * * * * 1/2
Innkeeper-Mistress Nieda
Hired Man-Bili
Entertainment-singer
JARRA-
Harilin's Leap- The sign is of a man standing on one
foot with his arms thrown in the air. They offer food,
rooms, and baths. The inn smells of ale and wine,
and cheese, and the aroma of roasting mutton. R:
