Zhareen din Narelle:

''Author: Adoen Calloden''

The [[Black Ajah]] is the unofficial eighth Ajah of [[the White Tower]]. Its identity is secret, and each of its members also belongs to another Ajah. Heavily denied by the Tower both publicly and privately, the Black Ajah is nevertheless a reality of life in the Fourth Age. The only person to know the identity of all Black sisters in the Tower is the Nae'blis to [[the Dark One]] and the Head of the Black Ajah. Generally, most sisters know of only a few other members, a system which has been in place for thousands of years as a last defense against allowing themselves to be revealed.

These are the members of the Black Ajah, their original Ajah, their descriptions, some highlighted deeds and current status in alphabetical order.

[[Alviarin Freidhen]] (White Ajah) is the Head of the Black Ajah and a member of the Supreme Council; she reports to Mesaana. Her affiliation as Black Ajah is hidden. She is swan-necked ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 1|TSR, Ch. 1]]), tall and slim ([[The Fires of Heaven: Prologue|TFoH, Prologue]]).

[[Amico Nagoyin]] (Yellow Ajah) is killed by Slayer in Tear. She is the youngest of the Black Ajah who left the Tower, only four years older than Egwene and Elayne ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 25|TDR, Ch. 25]]). She is slender and pretty with a long neck and pale skin ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 51|TDR, Ch. 51]]). She is a beautiful woman, with large, dark eyes ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 5|TSR, Ch. 5]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Asne Zeramene]] (Green Ajah) is killed by a lightning bolt created by the circle of Sea Folk Windfinders during the rescue of Elayne Trakand in "Knife of Dreams". She has been of the Green Ajah for some hundred and thirty years and is from Saldaea. She is also Black Ajah. She has four Warders, one of them Powl. She has dark, tilted eyes and a bold nose ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Atuan Larisett]] (Yellow Ajah) has been exposed by Talene as Black Ajah in CoT prologue. She is one who teaches in the White Tower. She is not bonded. She is a striking Taraboner with dark hair in thin, brightly beaded braids that hang to her waist ([[Crossroads of Twilight: Prologue|CoT, Prologue]]).

[[Berylla Naron]] (Blue Ajah) is lean almost to scrawniness and a fine manipulator ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]). Her current location is unknown. She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Careane Fransi]] (Green Ajah) was an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah for over fifty years. After the split in the White Tower, she joined the rebel Aes Sedai. She is bonded to are Cieryl Arjuna, Venr Kosaan and Tavan. She is stabbed to death in Caemlyn by Vandene Namelle in revenge for her sister Adeleas' murder. She is Domani and is almost stout with shoulders as wide and arms as thick as most men; however, despite her heft, she moves like a swan ([[A Crown of Swords: Chapter 30|ACoS, Ch. 30]]).

[[Chesmal Emry]] (Yellow Ajah) is from Ghealdan. She kills Vandene ([[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 31|KoD, Ch. 31]]) and is captured in Caemlyn. She is a tall, handsome woman, dark-haired and dark-eyed ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Delana Mosalaine]] (Gray Ajah) is former Sitter in the rebel Hall. She was last seen fleeing the rebel camp with Halima Saranov/Aran'gar. She is Shienaran. She is not bonded. Her hair is so fair that there is no telling whether there is white in it or not and she is stout. Her voice is deep for a woman, but melodious, and she is oddly graceful for one so stout ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 12|LoC, Ch. 12]]).

[[Eldrith Jhondar]] (Brown Ajah) is captured in Caemlyn. Her Warder is Kennit. She kills the Marillin Gemalphin's cats. She is round-faced and is plump ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Elza Penfell]] (Green Ajah) is Andoran and is sworn to Rand al'Thor after she was captured by the Asha'man at Dumai's Wells ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 55|LoC, Ch. 55]]). Her current location is likely with Rand al'Thor. She is a pleasant-faced, handsome woman with brown eyes ([[Winter's Heart: Chapter 13|WH, Ch. 13]]; [[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 20|KoD, Ch. 20]]).

[[Falion Bhoda]] (White Ajah) is Kandori and is captured in Caemlyn. She is long-faced, cold and has dark, glossy hair ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]; [[The Path of Daggers: Chapter 28|TPoD, Ch. 28]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Fera]] (White Ajah) is currently in Cairhien and her status as Black Ajah is unknown. She has sworn fealty to Rand al'Thor and is being held by the Wise ones ([[Crossroads of Twilight: Chapter 24|CoT, Ch. 24]]).

[[Galina Casban]] (Red Ajah) is the former Head of the Red Ajah and a former Member of the Supreme Council of the Black, being second in command. She became Aes Sedai circa 915 NE and she joins the Black Ajah five years later ([[A Crown of Swords: Chapter 40|ACoS, Ch. 40]]). Talene exposes Galina's identity to Doesine, Pevara, Saerin, Seaine and Yukiri. Galina is part of the group that kidnaps Rand ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 53|LoC, Ch. 53]]). She escapes during the battle of Dumai's Wells ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 55|LoC, Ch. 55]]) but she is later caught by the Shaido ([[A Crown of Swords: Prologue|ACoS, Prologue]]). Nine days after the battle at Dumai's Wells, Galina and her Shaido captors arrive at Sevanna's camp where she is beaten into submission. She betrays Faile and tries to kill her, and then tries to escape the Shaido. However, Therava catches her and decides to take her back to the Aiel Waste ([[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 30|KoD, Ch. 30]]). She is raven-haired, round-faced and has a plump, demanding mouth and hard eyes ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 27|LoC, Ch. 27]]).

[[Ispan Shefar]] (Blue Ajah) is assassinated by Careane Fransi to prevent Black Ajah secrets from being revealed. She wears her black hair in braids, marking her as a Taraboner. She has a delicate stomach ([[A Crown of Swords: Chapter 17|ACoS, Ch. 17]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Jeaine Caide]] (Green Ajah) is a slim woman, coppery-skinned and swan-necked ([[New Spring: Chapter 11|NS, Ch. 11]]; [[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Joiya Byir]] (Gray Ajah) is killed by Slayer in Tear. She is old enough to be Egwene and Elayne's grandmother, with a friendly face, despite the smooth-cheeked calm of an Aes Sedai, dark hair and gray eyes ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 25|TDR, Ch. 25]]; [[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 51|Ch. 51]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Karale Sanghir]] (Gray Ajah) is exposed as Black Ajah by Atuan. She is from Arad Doman ([[Knife of Dreams: Prologue|KoD, Prologue]]).

[[Katerine Alruddin]] (Red Ajah) is raised to Aes Sedai circa 982 NE and joins the Black Ajah circa 987 NE ([[Lord of Chaos: Prologue|LoC, Prologue]]). Katerine is among Galina's group that capture Rand al'Thor, is recognized by Rand as one of the one's who beat him ([[A Crown of Swords: Chapter 7|ACoS, Ch. 7]]), and is one of the Aes Sedai captured by the Asha'man at Dumai's Wells ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 55|LoC, Ch. 55]]). She escapes and returns to the White Tower and is part of the group that captures Egwene at Southharbor, bringing her to the White Tower, where she escorts Egwene to classes and feeds her forkroot ([[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 24|KoD, Ch. 24]]). She remains hidden as Black Ajah. She is a raven-haired, hard-eyed woman with a vulpine face ([[Lord of Chaos: Chapter 51|LoC, Ch. 51]]; [[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 24|KoD, Ch. 24]]).

[[Liandrin]] (Red Ajah) is from Tarabon. She attends the Darkfriend gathering near Shayol Ghul ([[The Great Hunt: Prologue|TGH, Prologue]]; [[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). Liandrin takes Nynaeve, Egwene, Elayne and Min through a Waygate ([[The Great Hunt: Chapter 39|TGH, Ch. 39]]), arriving in Toman Head, where she tries to turn them over to the Seanchan. Liandrin loathes wilders, though in truth, she began learning to channel a year before going to the White Tower and refuses to think of herself as a wilder. She sough the Black Ajah from the day she learned that she could channel ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]). She is poor at Healing and can barely Heal a bruise or scrape ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). She is young and pretty, with a doll's face and a small, petulant mouth. She has dark brows and darker eyes that contrast her pale honey braids brushing her shoulders. She has rosebud lips ([[The Great Hunt: Chapter 4|TGH, Ch. 4]]). She is exposed as the leader of the original thirteen until Moghedien takes control in Tanchico ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]). She is currently a ''da'covale'' owned by High Lady Suroth and is out of action.

[[Marillin Gemalphin]] (Brown Ajah) is from Caemlyn. She is fond of cats and goes out of her way to help injured animals ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 25|TDR, Ch. 25]]). She is captured in Caemlyn during the failed attempt to capture Elayne ([[Knife of Dreams: Chapter 33|KoD, Ch. 33]]). She is a narrow-faced blue-eyed woman with a wide nose ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 51|TSR, Ch. 51]]). She is a skinny and has lifeless pale brown hair ([[Winter's Heart: Chapter 10|WH, Ch. 10]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Marris Thornhill]] (Brown Ajah) is from Andor. She has no Warder. She is exposed as Black Ajah by Atuan ([[Knife of Dreams: Prologue|KoD, Prologue]]). She is described as plump ([[Crossroads of Twilight: Prologue|CoT, Prologue]]).

[[Rianna Andomeran]] (White Ajah) is from Kandor. Moghedien assigns Rianna her task in Tanchico which she accepts impassively ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 18|TFoH, Ch. 18]]) and her current location is unknown. She has black hair with a stark white streak above her left ear that frames a face that is cold with arrogant certainty ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 38|TSR, Ch. 38]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

[[Talene Minly]] (Green Ajah) is a Sitter for the Green Ajah in the White Tower. She grew up as a farmer's daughter. Talene is revealed as Black Ajah by Doesine, Pevara, Saerin, Seaine and Yukiri when they force her to re-swear the three oaths ([[The Path of Daggers: Chapter 26|TPoD, Ch. 26]]). She claims that Elaida is also Black Ajah ([[Winter's Heart: Prologue|WH, Prologue]]). Talene receives an order to appear before the Supreme Council, so Saerin hides her in a lower basement of the White Tower ([[Knife of Dreams: Prologue|KoD, Prologue]]). She is golden-haired, statuesque and lovely ([[A Crown of Swords: Chapter 32|ACoS, Ch. 32]]).

[[Temaile Kinderode]] (Gray Ajah) is from Cairhien. She is one of the Black Ajah that torments Amathera ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 52|TSR, Ch. 52]]; [[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 54|Ch. 54]]). When Liandrin fails in an attack on Moghedien after she is wounded by Birgitte, Moghedien gives her to Temaile to soften up ([[The Fires of Heaven: Chapter 34|TFoH, Ch. 34]]) and after seeing what Temaile did to Liandrin, the others are frightened of her ([[Winter's Heart: Chapter 10|WH, Ch. 10]]). Temaile is captured in Caemlyn after the failed capture of Elayne. She is short and slight with dark hair to her shoulders, blue eyes and a fox-like face ([[The Shadow Rising: Chapter 52|TSR, Ch. 52]]). She is exposed as one of the original thirteen who left the Tower with Liandrin.

There are also two Black Sisters in New Spring, though only one is exposed as Black in that book. Both of them are now dead. The first is [[Merean Redhill]] (Blue Ajah), a former Mistress of Novices killed by [[Moiraine]] in self-defense; the second is [[Jarna Malari]] (Gray Ajah), a former Sitter and Head of the Black Ajah who was killed by [[Ishamael]] for overstepping her boundaries and both having the Amyrlin killed and ordering the [[Dragon Reborn]] to be killed. Jarna has liquid brown eyes and long black hair with slashes of white at her temples ([[New Spring: Chapter 6|NS, Ch. 6]]). Merean is tall with a motherly look and hair that is more gray than not ([[New Spring: Chapter 5|NS, Ch. 5]]).

Zhareen din Narelle: Reverted edits by Zhareen din Narelle (Talk); changed back to last version by Kyria d'Oreyn

''Author: Atarah al'Norahn''

==General==

Adden leads a band of brigands in [[Cairhien]]. His men kidnap [[Egwene]], [[Elayne]] and [[Nynaeve]] and try to sell them to three [[Myrddraal]] who are looking for the girls. He apparently owns a boat and ships cargo on it.

He is large and fair-haired, and Egwene thinks to herself that he would be handsome if his face were cleaner.

Adden is possibly a [[Darkfriend]], though it's never stated, since he meets with three Myrddraal.

(Reference: [[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|The Dragon Reborn, Chapter 39]])

==Timeline==

* Some of Adden's men kidnap Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|TDR, Ch. 39]]).

* Adden shows up, and one of his men insists that Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve must be [[Aes Sedai]], because of their rings. Adden inspects the rings. He says that there is good money to be made in selling Aes Sedai, if you're wiling to risk your life ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|TDR, Ch. 39]]).

* When three Myrddraal show up, Adden is the only man who does not back away, but even he is sweating profusely. Adden is informed that Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve are the ones the Myrddraal seek, and that Adden will be well rewarded ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|TDR, Ch. 39]]).

* [[Aiel]] warriors show up to rescue Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve. Adden and his men are killed ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|TDR, Ch. 39]]).

==Miscellaneous==

* When Egwene wakes up, she hears one brigand say to another that he better hope that Adden believes he saw Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve's great serpent rings before he kidnapped them ([[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|TDR, Ch. 39]]).

==Quotes==

"'You do better hope Adden does believe you did see those rings before you did decide,' another man said. 'He does want fat cargoes, not women, I think.' the first man muttered something coarse about what Adden could do with his leaky boat, and the cargoes, too." (Egwene listening to two of Adden's men; [[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|The Dragon Reborn, Chapter 39]]).

"The big, fair-haired man paid him no mind, only kept moving whatever it was on the table. 'Three Aes Sedai,' he murmured, then laughed. 'Good prices for Aes Sedai, if you have the belly to deal with the right buyer. If you're ready to risk having your belly ripped out through your mouth should you try selling him a pig in a sack. Not so safe as slitting the crew's throats on a trader's ship, eh, Coke? Not so easy, wouldn't you say?'" (Adden to his men; [[The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 39|The Dragon Reborn, Chapter 39]]).

At the same time, few rulers will be without an Aes Sedai adviser, even in lands where the existence of such a connection must be kept secret.

Yukiri

2006-09-11T15:45:19Z

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Atarah al'Norahn''

==General==
Yukiri is an Aes Sedai of and Sitter for the Gray Ajah who remains loyal to Elaida and the White Tower. (TPOD, Ch. 26) She used to have a Warder, but he died a dozen years ago. (COT, Prologue)

Yukiri is described as being tiny and although she was born an innkeeper's daughter, she has a regal bearing. When she speaks she sounds exactly like what she used to be - a village woman. (TPOD, Ch. 26; WH, Prologue)

Yukiri is somewhat of a rebel. She is always the last one to join a consensus if she wants to go another way, both among the other Gray Sitters, and among the entire Hall. (TPOD, Ch. 26)

==Timeline==
* Yukiri notices Seaine and Pevara spending a lot of time together. Along with Doesine, Saerin and Talene, she finds Seaine and Pevara in the bowels of the White Tower with the Oath Rod. As do the others, she re-swears the oath to never lie, and states that she is not Black Ajah. (TPOD, Ch. 26)
* Yukiri is present when Talene is subjected to the Chair of Remorse, and witnesses Talene statement that she is of the Black Ajah. (WH, Prologue)
* Yukiri spends time walking through the Tower with Meidani, one of the Gray rebels. They speak about several things, including Elaida. They run into Bernaile and Seaine. Seaine and Yukiri go off to speak about the mystery involving the new Sitters in the Hall. (COT, Prologue)

==Quotes==
"All four were rebels in a way, and Elaida had humiliated every one." Seaine thinking about Yukiri, Saerin, Talene and Doesine (TPOD, Ch. 26)

"Under the Light, I will speak no word that is not true. I am not Black Ajah." (TPOD, Ch. 26)

"The law forbids using the Chair on initiates. We'll all be unchaired! And if being thrown out of the Hall isn't enough, we'll probably be exiled. And birched before we go, just to drop salt in our tea! Burn me, if we're wrong, we could all be stilled!" Yukiri to Seaine, Pevara, Saerin and Doesine about Talene (WH, Prologue)

"It was a pity the rebels could not get there before summer. At least that might make the Ajahs come together again, so sisters were not forced to slink about the White Tower." Yukiri thinks to herself (COT, Prologue)

==Miscellaneous==
* Pevara matches Saerin and Yukiri in strength. (TPOD, Ch. 26)
* Yukiri dislikes Temaile Kinderode, also of the Gray Ajah, whom she later finds out is Black Ajah. (COT, Prologue)

Rodel Ituralde

2006-09-11T15:41:35Z

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Atarah al'Norahn''

==General==
Rodel Ituralde is a general in the army of Arad Domon. He is among the five great captains of the Westlands. (TFOH, Ch. 27)

Rodel is a short man with a neatly trimmed mustache. He wears a beauty mark on one cheek in the form of a black velvet star, and a ruby in his left ear. Fingering the ruby is a well-known sign that he is angry. (COT, Prologue)

Ituralde is a man who is loyal to his oaths. He hates waiting for the enemy to make a move. Men willingly follow him into battle because he is such a good soldier. (COT, Prologue)

He is married to a woman named Tamsin. (COT, Prologue)

==Timeline==
* Rodel Ituralde visits Lady Basene (Graendal). (LOC, Ch. 6)
* Rodel Ituralde attends a meeting with Dragonsworn and Taraboners. He speaks to them about driving the Seanchan out of Almoth Plain. His orders from King Alsalam are to gather as many men as he can, from wherever he can find them, and to strike as hard as he can at the Seanchan. He offers a truce, and pledges in the King's name not to move against any of them in any way as long as the Seanchan remain a threat to Arad Domon, if they will help him fight the Seanchan. They all agree to work together. (COT, Prologue)

==Quotes==
"If the White Tower truly was divided against itself, or men who could channel really were being called to Caemlyn...well, the world would have to do without Rodel Ituralde until Arad Domon was whole again. For the moment, Arad Domon was more than enough for any sane man to go on with." Rodel Ituralde thinking to himself (COT, Prologue)

"Once again he reviewed the orders he had sent, carried by the fastest riders he had, to every noble loyal to the king. Divided as they were by bad blood and old feuds, they still shared that much. They would gather their armies and ride when orders came from the Wolf; at least, so long as he held the King's favor. They would even hide in the mountains and wait, at his order. Oh, they would chafe, and some would curse his name, but they would obey. They knew the Wolf won battles. More, they knew he won wars." Rodel Ituralde thinking to himself (COT, Prologue)

"He had always been called a gambler, though he was not. The trick was in knowing what risks you could take. And sometimes, in knowing which ones you had to take." Rodel Ituralde thinking to himself (COT, Prologue)

"A wise man stops chewing when he reaches bone, but so far, the Seanchan have had their meat sliced thin before they reached for it. I intend to give them a touch shank to gnaw. More, I have a plan to make them snap so fast they'll break their teeth on bone before they have a mouthful of meat." Rodel Ituralde to the Dragonsworn and Taraboners; (COT, Prologue)

==Miscellaneous==
* His horse is a white gelding named Dart. (COT, Prologue)
* He and Alsalam are friends. (COT, Prologue)
* He is nicknamed "the Wolf", though some people call him "the Little Wolf" behind his back due to his short stature. (COT, Prologue)
* King Alsalam has been giving Ituralde orders from his hiding place. Ituralde is very confused by these orders, since they often seem to contradict themselves and make no sense. "He had commanded Ituralde to march north with all possible speed against a great gathering of Dragonsworn that Alsalam supposedly knew of from secret spies, then ten days later, with no Dragonsworn yet in sight, an order came to move south again, with all possible speed, against another gathering that never materialized. He had been commanded to concentrate his forces to defend Bandar Eban when a three-pronged attack might have ended it all and to divide them when a hammer blow could have done the same, to harry ground he knew the Dragonsworn had abandoned, and to march away from where he knew they camped. Worse, Alsalam's orders often had gone directly to the powerful nobles who were supposed to be following Ituralde, sending Machir in this direction, Teacal in that, Rahman in a third. Four times, pitched battles had resulted from parts of the army blundering into one another in the night while moving to the King's express command and expecting none but enemies ahead. And all the while the Dragonsworn gained numbers, and confidence. Ituralde had had his triumphs - at Solanje and Maseen, at Lake Somal and Kandelmar - the Lords of Katar had learned not to sell the products of their mines and forges to the enemies of Arad Domon - but always, Alsalam's orders wasted his gains." (COT, Prologue)
* On the eve of battles, Ituralde often gives Donjel, one of his men, a letter to carry to his wife if he doesn't survive. (COT, Prologue)
* His wife has told him that if he dies, she will come after him. Ituralde thinks to himself that this would be the first incident ever of the living haunting the dead. (COT, Prologue)
* Before Rodel, there was no House Ituralde. (COT, Prologue)
* Rodel Ituralde fought in the Aiel War. (COT, Prologue)

Gaul

2006-09-10T02:18:44Z

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Estella Sharina Agadis''

==General==
Gaul is nearly a head taller than Perrin, and his voice has an unruffled coolness, a calm sureness. He is of the Imran Sept of the Sharaad Aiel, and a Shae'en M'taal. Gaul is from Hot Springs Hold. He is uneasy when looking at rivers (TDR, Ch. 34; TSR, Ch. 42).

He is sun-dark, a handsome man in a rugged way, a little older than Nynaeve. His eyes are as green and clear as polished gems, and his eyelashes are so dark that they seem to outline his eyes in black. His teeth are white (TSR, Ch. 7). Gaul's hair is reddish. He could have been Rand's older cousin, or a young uncle (TSR, Ch. 16).

As an Aiel, he will not kill without hiding his face, and he will never touch a sword. He will not fight any Aes Sedai, nor any woman who is not a Maiden of the Spear.

The Sharaad Aiel and the Goshien Aiel have a feud, but that doesn't stop Gaul from falling in love with Chiad of the Goshien Aiel.

==Timeline==
* Perrin first sees Gaul in a town called Remen, where Gaul is caged. He does not flinch when the children are throwing stones at him. According to a Hunter of the Horn, Gaul was a part of a pack of twenty wild Aiel. Two Hunters called Lord Orban and Lord Gann fought the Aiel with only ten retainers (TDR, Ch. 33).
* Perrin decides to free the Aiel from the cage, and after he's done that, they talk for a bit, before several Whitecloaks arrive, trying to stop them. They have to fight, and most of them men lying on the ground afterwards are Gaul's work. Perrin wonders how twelve men fought twenty of the Aiel and won. Gaul laughs, and tells him that there were only two Aiel (TDR, Ch. 34).
* The townsfolk try to decide whether Gaul chewed through the chain or broke it with his bare hands (TDR, Ch. 35).
* When the Aiel are studying the Stone, Gaul is with Rhuarc, and he tells Rhuarc that it is time to enter the Stone (TDR, Ch. 54).
* Gaul is leading the Stone Dogs guarding Rand's bedchamber in the Stone when Elayne and Egwene want to meet Rand. Gaul, believing that the girls are Aes Sedai, is very polite, and tells them that Rand's wounds may be troubling him, since he threw out a High Lord. Gaul lost a good Tairen hanging to another Aiel (TSR, Ch. 7).
* He escorts in some Tairen High Lords wanting to see Rand (TSR, Ch. 8).
* When he learns that Perrin is going back to Emond's Field, Gaul offers to go with him (TSR, Ch. 16).
* It is only Gaul among the Aiel Rand spoke to who wants to go with Perrin to the Two Rivers. Perrin tells him to take Faile away if anything happens to him. Gaul agrees, because of the blood dept he owes Perrin for saving his life. In the stables, Perrin and Gaul are talking quietly with eachother, before they leave the Stone. Faile, Loial and Perrin heel their horses and travel as fast as they can when Rand makes the entire city of Tear shake, but Gaul and the Maidens soon catch up with them. Gaul and the Maidens are constantly throwing jokes at each other. He is the second person to enter the Ways (TSR, Ch. 18).
* Gaul and Perrin travel behind Faile, Loial and the Maidens through the Ways. He tells Perrin that a woman is just as difficult to understand as the sun is. When they are attacked by Trollocs, Gaul fight them with his spears (TSR, Ch. 27).
* The two men camp less than twenty paces away from the women and Loial. When they hear the females chatting and laughing, Perrin asks Gaul whether he knows any funny stories, but the Aiel cannot remember any except the one about not understanding women. He and Perrin talk for a little while, before Perrin says that he is going to sleep a little, and that if anything happens, Gaul might have to kick him to wake him. Gaul nods, and Perrin asks why he hasn't commented on his golden eyes. Gaul explains that the world is changing, and that Gaul might be sent to Rhuidean whether he wants it or not, and that a pair of yellow eyes doesn't matter next to that. When Perrin wakes up, Gaul goes to sleep. (TSR, Ch. 28)
* When they come to Rand's old house, the Aiel check the ruins, but they don't find anything. Gaul and Perrin go to Emond's Field early in the morning. Mistress and Master al'Vere are stunned to find an Aiel in their house. Gaul asks Mistress al'Vere to allow him to defend her roof and hold, and he gives her a gold saltcellar. When Mistress al'Vere makes them wash their hands and faces, Gaul is just smiling. Gaul and the others leave the commonroom when Perrin starts crying because of the loss of his family (TSR, Ch. 29).
* Mistress al'Vere gives the Aiel and Loial tea, and when it is decided that she is to take Perrin and the other to the old sickhouse, the Aiel leave the kitchen first, to avoid being noticed. (TSR, Ch. 30). Gaul and the Maidens tense when they realise that two Warders are coming out from behind the trees. (TSR, Ch. 30)
* None of the Aiel are eager to go on to meet the Aes Sedai, and when they reach the old sickhouse, Gaul and the Maidens exchange guarded looks with eachother. Gaul is Healed by Verin Sedai (TSR, Ch. 31).
* On their way to Watch Hill to free the Emond's Fielders being held prisoner by the Whitecloaks, the Aiel are gliding ahead, only showing themselves once in a while. When Perrin and the others are going to the al'Seen place, Gaul says that he'll find a place to eat his own meal (TSR, Ch. 32).
* The young men following Perrin and the others are scared when Gaul and the Maidens appear from nowhere. Gaul, Bain and Chiad are sneaking into the Whitecloak camp together with Faile and Perrin. Afterwards, Gaul is to accompany the freed prisoners when they are being led to somewhere they can be safe (TSR, Ch. 33).
* Gaul is finding a lot of tracks from Trollocs when Perrin and the young men are hunting them. As Lord Luc is trying to convince the Two Rivers men to come to Emond's Field, Gaul and the Maidens come to report that they have found more Trollocs. It turns out to be an ambush, but the Aiel are unhurt except that Gaul is limping a little (TSR, Ch. 40).
* Instead of entering the Tuatha'an camp they find on their way back to Emond's Field, Gaul stiffly says that he will sleep elsewhere. Perrin hears Bain and Chiad talking about inducing Gaul to play Maiden's Kiss (TSR, Ch. 41).
* The next day, when Perrin comments on the Maiden's Kiss, Gaul stumbles, asking who it was that suggested the game. When he learns that it was Chiad, his face gets an odd expression. After this, the relationship between the Aiel change (TSR, Ch. 42).
* Gaul looks ready to go off to hunt down Luc when he hears that the Lord is not in Emond's Field (TSR, Ch. 43).
* Despite Perrins orders about no one leaving to close the Waygate, Gaul and Loial are spotted leaving for the Westwood, talking about tree-singing (TSR, Ch. 44).
* Loial has to carry Gaul down from the mountains after they've closed the Waygate, because they were attacked by Trollocs and Gaul was hurt. Chiad and Bain are fussing over his left thigh. Loial and Gaul tell them that there must be several thousand Trollocs in the Two Rivers. Luc tries to convince Perrin that they must be wrong, but Gaul claims that there are thousands of Shadowspawn there (TSR, Ch. 53).
* After Perrin has been in the Wolfdream, he comes down in the common room, finding Gaul fast asleep, since Mistress Congar gave him something to make him sleep, and a poultice for his leg. Chiad is guarding the Aiel man, and when Perrin suggests that she and Bain follow Faile to Taren Ferry, Chiad stares anxiously at him (TSR, Ch. 53).
* During the battle against the Trollocs, Gaul and Chiad fight together, back-to-back, she with only a spear and he with his knife. When the Two Rivers people have won, Perrin sees the two Aiel standing hand in hand with their veils down (TSR, Ch. 56).
* The three Aiel remain in the Two Rivers until Perrin and Faile travel to Caemlyn. Gaul wants Chiad to marry him, but she doesn't want to give up the spear, something that makes him sullen (LOC, Ch. 45).
* After having spent some time with his spear-brothers, Gaul goes to Cairhien with Perrin and the others (LOC, Ch. 49).
* To avoid Berelain, Perrin and Gaul are often out hunting together (LOC, Ch. 50).
* Gaul is among the many Aiel wanting to save the Dragon Reborn after he is captured by Elaida's Aes Sedai. He has been talking with a soldier named Nurelle, telling about Perrin and the battle in the Two Rivers. Perrin has tried to ask why some Aiel are wearing a strip of crimson cloth around their temples, but Gaul tries to pretend that he doesn't understand what Perrin is talking about (LOC, Ch. 54).
* Due to Gaul knowing all about Aiel customs since he has grown up with it, it is difficult for him to explain them properly to a Wetlander like Perrin (ACOS, Ch. 1).
* Rhuarc and Gaul are the only male Aiel not wearing the siswai'aman headband (ACOS, Ch. 2).
* Chiad has told Gaul straight out that she doesn't want to marry him, something that is scandalous. Gaul does not like Bain, but he would gladly marry her as well, if only Chiad wants him to. (ACOS, Ch. 3).
* Gaul, Bain, Chiad and a lot of other Aiel follow Perrin to Ghealdan (ACOS, Ch. 27).
* In Ghealdan, Gaul is the only man not gai'shain (TPOD, Ch. 10).
* Perrin finds out that Elyas Machera has come to Ghealdan, and that it was Gaul who found him, or rather, Elyas who found Gaul (TPOD, Ch. 10).
* Gaul and the other Maidens are among the people searching for Faile after she has been captured by the Shaido. Strangely, the Maidens are letting Gaul lead, something they normally would not have done (WH, Ch. 2).
* They are still trying to find Faile, Bain and Chiad, and Gaul, Elyas and the Maidens are out scouting often, even though they are not able to find Faile when they finally locate the Shaido (COT, Ch. 5; Ch. 8).

==Relationships==
Gaul and Perrin are friends. At first, their relationship was based on Gaul owing Perrin a blood debt after Perrin saved the Aiel when he was caged, but as time has went by, they have come to like each other, and at least Perrin considers Gaul his friend (TDR, Ch. 34; TSR, Ch. 31).

Unlikely as it might seem, Gaul and Chiad of the Goshien Aiel have fallen in love, even though Chiad does not want to give up the spear so that she can marry Gaul. The Goshien and the Sharaad Aiel have a blood feud, but the two do not care about the feud anymore (TSR, Ch. 56; LOC, Ch. 45; ACOS, Ch. 3).

He doesn't like Bain, but he would marry her to make Chiad happy (ACOS, Ch. 3).

==Miscellaneous==
* Gaul will not ride a horse unless it is important that he does, and even then he will not sit on it more than absolutely neccessary (TSR, Ch. 18).
* Loial has changed since Gaul taught him to dice, and to bet on horse races (LOC, Ch. 49).
* During the Feast of Lights, a lot of people are behaving in a way they would never do other times. Gaul is shocked every time he sees a man and a woman kissing, as that is considered something very private in the Aiel society (LOC, Ch. 54).

==Quotes==
Gaul chuckled softly. "As well try to understand the sun, Perrin. It simply is, and it is not to be understood. You cannot live without it, but it exacts a price. So with women." Gaul talking about women. (TSR, Ch. 27).

"A Myrddral has less cunning that a woman," Gaul said in a flat voice, "and a Trolloc fights with more honor." After a moment he added, in a fierce undertone, "And a goat has more sense." After he has learnt that Chiad was the one who suggested they play Maiden's Kiss (TSR, Ch. 42).

"Sulin, are Chiad and Bain about? I saw them hunting yesterday, and thought I might show them how to draw a bow before one of them shoots herself."

"I was surprised to see you come back today," the whitehaired woman replied. "They went out to set snares for rabbits." Laughter rippled through the Maidens, and fingers flickered rapidly in handtalk.

Sighing, Gaul rolled his eyes ostentatiously. "In that case, I think I must go cut them loose." Almost as many Maidens laughed at that, including Sulin. (TPOD, Ch. 10).

Perrin Aybara

2006-09-10T02:15:18Z

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Atarah al'Norahn''

== General ==
Perrin is the son of Con and Joslyn Aybara, and was born in 978 NE. He lives on a farm east of Emond's Field. He has three younger siblings: two sisters named Adora and Deselle, and a brother named Paet. Around the age of 12, he became apprentice to [[Harral Luhhan]], the blacksmith.

Perrin is of average height, though he is shorter than Rand. He is stocky enough to seem a man and a half wide, and has broad shoulders and thick arms. His hair is a curly brown. Originally, his eyes were also brown, but after becoming a Wolfbrother, they changed to gold, and also become very sharp. (TEOTW, Ch. 3; TEOTW, Ch. 14; TGH, Ch. 14)

Early on, Perrin learned that he has the ability to speak with wolves. This also gives him the ability to reach Tel'aran'rhiod through the Wolf Dream. Very few people know about Perrin being a Wolfbrother. Elyas and Faile know, and Moiraine suspects, but Rand has no idea. (ACOS, Ch. 2)

Perrin has a gentle disposition. When around people, he moves carefully, afraid that he might accidentally break something or hurt someone. (TEOTW, Ch. 20) He likes to think things over slowly and doesn't like to be careless. (Because of this, he is god at solving puzzles, though he has to see the puzzle to be able to solve it. (TEOTW, Ch. 20; COT, Ch. 7)

== Perrin's Journey ==
The first time we see Perrin is when Padan Fain shows up at Emond's Field the night before Bel Tine. (TEOTW, Ch. 3) Later, he is part of the original group that leaves the Two Rivers with Moiraine and Lan, heading first towards Baerlon, and then onwards past Shadar Logoth to Caemlyn. (TEOTW, Ch. 10; TEOTW, Ch. 11; TEOTW, Ch. 12; TEOTW, Ch. 13) While in Baerlon, like Rand and Mat, Perrin has dreams about Ba'alzamon, marking him as one whom the Dark One wishes dead. (TEOTW, Ch. 14)

Once having reached Shadar Logoth, Perrin goes with Rand and Mat to look around. They meet Mordeth, but manage to escape with their lives. That night, when Trollocs appear, Perrin is separated from the others by Mashadar. He later finds Egwene. (TEOTW, Ch. 18; TEOTW, Ch. 19; TEOTW, Ch. 20; TEOTW, Ch. 22)

Perrin and Egwene decide to set off for Caemlyn, hoping to meet the others there. On the way, they encounter a man named Elyas and a pack of wolves. Elyas informs them that if they keep on going as they are, they will miss Caemlyn by a long shot, so Perrin and Egwene end up traveling with Elyas. Along the way, Perrin learns that Elyas can speak to wolves, and the Wolfbrother informs Perrin that he can, as well. (TEOTW, Ch. 22; TEOTW, Ch. 23)

Perrin, Egwene and Elyas end up stumbling upon a camp of Tinkers. They travel with them for several days before parting from the Tuatha'an. (TEOTW, Ch. 25; TEOTW, Ch. 27) Later, the three of them are attacked by ravens, but they find an abandoned stedding, where they take refuge. There, however, they are found by a group of Whitecloaks. There is a fight, and Perrin kills two Whitecloaks. One of Elyas's wolf friends, Hopper, is also killed. Because of the two dead Whitecloaks, Egwene and Perrin are taken prisoner as Darkfriends. (TEOTW, Ch. 29; TEOTW, Ch. 30)

While with the Whitecloaks, Perrin and Egwene are treated very harshly, since they are supposedly Darkfriends. Luckily for them, Moiraine, Lan and Nynaeve appear to rescue them. They all ride on towards Caemlyn, where they find Rand and Mat. Finally, the whole group has been reunited. (TEOTW, Ch. 30; TEOTW, Ch. 38; TEOTW, Ch. 41)

After everyone is caught up on what everyone else has been up to, Moiraine decides that they must go to the Eye of the World. With an Ogier named Loial to lead the way, they travel through the Ways towards Fal Dara, Shienar. Once having gotten this far, they head for the Blight, where they hope to find TEOTW. (TEOTW, Ch. 42; TEOTW, Ch. 43; TEOTW, Ch. 44; TEOTW, Ch. 45; TEOTW, Ch. 46; TEOTW, Ch. 47; TEOTW, Ch. 48)

They finally find the Eye of the World and the Green Man, only to also encounter two of the Forsaken, Aginor and Balthamel. Balthamel is killed by the Green Man, who is killed in turn, and Aginor is killed when he follows Rand. Lan, Mat, Perrin and Loial go into TEOTW and find a broken seal of the Dark Oneis prison, the Dragon banner and Horn of Valere. (TEOTW, Ch. 49; TEOTW, Ch. 50; TEOTW, Ch. 52)

Back in Fal Dara, Perrin spends his time doing whatever until events start to pick up again. When the Horn of Valere and Mat's ruby dagger are stolen, and the Amyrlin Seat arrives, he is asked to go with the party that will track down the stolen items. He agrees. (TGH, Ch. 3; TGH, Ch.; TGH, Ch. 8) One the journey south, Perrin and Mat learn that Rand is the Dragon Reborn and begin to avoid him. The next morning, Rand, Hurin and Loial have disappeared. Without Hurin, their sniffer, to follow the trail of the thieves, Perrin and his wolf-nose take up the job. (TGH, Ch. 11; TGH, Ch. 14)

They continue to journey south. Nothing of much consequence happens, with the exception of running into an Aiel man named Urien who is searching for "He Who Comes With the Dawn." Perrin and Mat suspect that this might be Rand. (TGH, Ch. 28)

Finally, Perrin, Mat and the Shienarans reach Cairhien, where they are reunited with Rand, Hurin and Loial. They learn that Rand and the others had found the Horn of Valere and the ruby dagger, only to have them stolen back. When Hurin learns that the Horn of Valere is in Lord Barthanes' manor, some of the others go in to find it, but return empty handed. (TGH, Ch. 30; TGH, Ch. 31; TGH, Ch. 32) The whole group travels to Falme by Portal Stone, losing four months in the process. Once there, Perrin, along with the others, confronts both the Seanchan and the Whitecloaks and comes out victorious. (TGH, Ch. 37; TGH, Ch. 41; TGH, Ch. 44; TGH, Ch. 45; TGH, Ch. 46; TGH, Ch. 47)

TDR begins in the winter, with Perrin, Rand, Moiraine, Lan, Min, Loial and the Shienarans in the Mountains of Mist. When Trollocs attack the camp, he fights along with the others. (TDR, Ch. 1; TDR, Ch. 2; TDR, Ch. 3; TDR, Ch. 4; TDR, Ch. 5) When Rand leaves the Mountains of Mist on his own, Perrin, Moiraine, Lan and Loial follow him into Ghealdan. (TDR, Ch. 7) They travel through Ghealdan, soon arriving at a village named Remen. There, Perrin finds that an Aielman has been taken captive and is hanging in a cage. Perrin, hating to see a man in a cage, lets him free. Perrin and the Aielman, Gaul, fight and kill the Whitecloaks that attack them. A girl sees but doesn't say anything. Perrin, Moiraine, Lan and Loial flee on a ship, but the girl jumps on board as well. Perrin learns that her name is Zarine, though she wishes to be called Faile. (TDR, Ch. 33; TDR, Ch. 34; TDR, Ch. 35)

Soon, Perrin and the others reach Illian. While eating at an inn, they are attacked by six Grey Men. After they have been killed, traces of Darkhounds are found. Later, when Perrin, Moiraine, Lan, Loial and Faile are chased by Darkhounds, they kill them as well. (TDR, Ch. 42; TDR, Ch. 43) When Faile is caught by a dream ter'angreal, Perrin, having fallen in love with Faile, goes into the Wolf Dream and saves her. (TDR, Ch. 53; TDR, Ch. 54; TDR, Ch. 55)

Soon after everyone is all back together, Perrin and Faile are attacked by a bubble of evil in the Stone of Tear. Perrin's axe tries to kill them, but he protects Faile and eventually the axe returns to normal. (TSR, Ch. 2)

Perrin has lately been hearing rumors about the Two Rivers and wishes to return home. However, he does not want Faile to go with him since it would put her in danger. In order to get Faile to stay behind, he puts up with Berelain flirting with him, knowing that it will anger Faile. However, this plan backfires on his when Faile tricks Loial into agreeing to take Faile to the Two Rivers by Waygate, which is how Perrin was going to go. (TSR, Ch. 13; TSR, Ch. 14; TSR, Ch. 16)

Two groups end up going through the Waygate; Faile, Loial, Bain and Chiad in one group, and Perrin and Gaul a little ways behind them. Technically, they are all together, but Perrin is angry at Faile for tricking Loial, and Faile is angry at Perrin for trying to leave her behind. (TSR, Ch. 18; TSR, Ch. 27)

Eventually, they all reach the Two Rivers. Perrin speaks with Marin and Bran al'Vere, who have a lot to tell him. The Whitecloaks are looking for him, and are convinced he is a Darkfriend. Perrin says that he will give himself up so that the will go away, but Faile is aghast at the suggestion. Perrin is then told that his entire family is dead because of Trollocs. Perrin is in shock but tries to hide it. He also learns that Mat's family and the Luhhans have been taken prisoner by the Whitecloaks. Out of his, Mat and Rand's families, only Abell Cauthon and Tam al'Thor are still free, and they are in hiding. (TSR, Ch. 29)

Faile announces that she has had enough, that Perrin must grieve for his family. The others leave, and Perrin cries while Faile holds him. (TSR, Ch. 29) Perrin plans to find Tam and Abell and rescue Mat's family and the Luhhans. Marin takes Perrin and his group to the old sickhouse, which is east of the village, and they get another big surprise. There are two Aes Sedai in the Two Riveres: Alanna and Verin. They have been hiding with help from the Women's Circle. They speak for some time, and then Tam and Abell show up. (TSR, Ch. 30; TSR, Ch. 31) They head towards the Whitecloak camp, picking up other young men on the way, and manage their rescue. (TSR, Ch. 32; TSR, Ch. 33)

Most of the rest of Perrin's journey through TSR consists of him leading men against Trollocs in the Two Rivers. There are a couple of encounters with the Tinkers; the Tuatha'an are attacked by Trollocs and seek shelter in Emond's Field. Aram pledges himself to Perrin and takes up the sword. Near the end, Perrin and Faile marry and Perrin convinces Faile to go for help, knowing that he will probably never see her again. However, Faile does return with help and the Two Rivers is saved. (TSR, Ch. 40; TSR, Ch. 41; TSR, Ch. 42; TSR, Ch. 43; TSR, Ch. 44; TSR, Ch. 45; TSR, Ch. 53; TSR, Ch. 56)

Due to his work in the Two Rivers and the people's respect for him, the people of the Two Rivers make Perrin and Faile their lord and lady. A manor house is built, servants are hired, and Faile seems rather content. Perrin, however, feels the tug of ta'veren to ta'veren, and knows that he must go to Rand. (LOC, Prologue) When they reach Caemlyn, Perrin meets Faile's parents. Her father is angry with Perrin, since Faile was not old enough to marry without her mother's permission. Perrin and Faile convince both of her parents to let them stay together. (LOC, Ch. 46)

When Rand is kidnapped by Aes Sedai, Perrin leads the Two Rivers men in the attempt to rescue him. (LOC, Ch. 53; LOC, Ch. 54; LOC, Ch. 55)

When everyone returns to Cairhien after Dumai's Wells, Perrin is intent only on finding out if Faile is all right. They learn that Colavaere has taken the throne of Cairhien, and Perrin finds out that Faile is working as one of Colavaere's ladies maids, though he cannot imagine why. Once Rand has taken care of Colavaere, Perrin and Faile speak. (ACOS, Ch. 1; ACOS, Ch. 2; ACOS, Ch. 3; ACOS, Ch. 4; ACOS, Ch. 5; ACOS, Ch. 6)

Perrin Travels to Ghealdan with Faile, the Two Rivers men, a bunch of Aiel and Berelain. They rescue a group of people including a woman named Maighdin, who is really Morgase, the Queen of Andor, though none of them know it. Perrin has talks with both Masema, who is the Prophet of the Dragon, and Alliandre, the Queen of Ghealdan. Alliandre swears fealty to him. (ACOS, Ch. 27; The Path of Daggers, Ch. 7; The Path of Daggers, Ch. 8; The Path of Daggers, Ch. 9; The Path of Daggers, Ch. 10)

One day, when Perrin returns from speaking with Masema in a town called Abila, he learns that Faile, Bain, Chiad, Maighdin, Alliandre and a couple of other women have been captured by the Shaido Aiel. (Winter's Heart, Ch. 1; Winter's Heart, Ch. 2) Perrin spends a lot of time searching for her in the Wolf Dream and is absolutely desperate to find her. (Winter's Heart, Ch. 5)

Eventually, Perrin's camp needs supplies, so he and some others go to the town of So Harbor, which has supposedly been haunted by ghosts for the past little while. The quality of the goods in So Harbor is not very good, but Perrin makes his purchases anyway, all the while chafing about the need to find Faile. (COT, Ch. 25; COT, Ch. 26) When he returns, he learns that the scouts have captured some Shaido warriors. The warriors are tortured, and Perrin even mutilates one to get information on the whereabouts of Faile. Perrin's journey in COT ends up with him learning that he might be able to get some help from the Seanchan. (COT, Ch. 27)

== Relationships ==
Rand, an old friend of Perrin's, considers Perrin to be one of the few people that he can still trust. Despite the fact that he, at one point, wonders whether Perrin's loyalty lies with him or Faile, (ACOS, Ch. 7) he still trusts him. Back when they were all still in Emond's Field, Perrin would often be drawn, along with Rand, into Mat's schemes.

Perrin loves Faile more than anyone in the world. When they first met, he didn't like her all that much, but his feelings soon turned around. He does everything that he can to protect her, and in TSR they get married. After Faile is kidnapped by the Shaido, all he can think about is rescuing her.

Loial is a good friend of Perrin's. They are tied together by many events, right from their first meeting to the present. Loial accompanies Perrin and Faile to the Two Rivers, and does everything he can to help Perrin.

Like most other sensible males, Perrin doesn't trust Aes Sedai very much. He knows some of them, like Verin, better than others and therefore has a little bit more trust in them, but mainly doesn't like to be around them. In TSR, when Alanna thinks about bonding Perrin, Faile threatens Alanna with her life.

Aram has sworn himself to Perrin and Faile, but Perrin has never been a big fan of Aram. Early on, he thinks that Aram smiles too much, and is annoyed that Egwene pays so much attention to him. After the events in The Shadow Rising he puts up with Aram, but although Aram is devoted to him, Perrin still doesn't like him very much.

==Dreams and Viewings==
"The strongest thing I see about the big, curly-haired fellow are a wolf, and a broken crown, and trees flowering all around him." Min to Rand about Perrin (TEOTW, Ch. 15)

"You know I've read you, Egwene. I don't understand most of it - I almost never do - but I see things I am sure link you to Rand, and Perrin, and Mat, and - yes, even Galad, the Light help you for a fool. How can any of that happen if the Seanchan take you off across the ocean?" Min to Egwene (TGH, Ch. 42)

"An Aielman in a cage. A Tuatha'an with a sword. A falcon and a hawk, perching on your shoulders. Both female, I think. And all the rest of course. What is always there. Darkness swirling 'round you, andâ€¦" (Min to Perrin; TDR, Ch. 6)

"One more thing. If you meet a woman - the most beautiful woman you've ever seen - run!" (Min to Perrin; TDR, Ch. 6)

"Perrin with a falcon on his shoulder, and Perrin with a hawk. Only the hawk held a leash in her talons - Egwene was somehow convinced both hawk and falcon were femaleâ€¦and the hawk was trying to fasten it around Perrin's neck. That made her shiver even now; she did not like dreams about leashes. And that dream of Perrinâ€¦ with a beard! â€¦leading a huge pack of wolves that stretched as far as the eye could see." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; TDR, Ch. 25)

"She had dreamed of Perrin with a wolf, and with a falcon, and a hawkâ€¦and the falcon and the hawk fightingâ€¦of Perrin running from someone deadly, and Perrin stepping willingly over the edge of a towering cliff while saying, 'It must be done. I must learn to fly before I reach the bottom.' There had been one dream of an Aiel, and she thought that had to do with Perrin, too, but she was not sure." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; TDR, Ch. 37)

"Why should Perrin have a falcon on his shoulder, and what was important about him choosing between that axe he wore now and a blacksmith's hammer?" (Egwene's dream about Perrin; TDR, Ch. 48)

"A wolf" she was sure it was Perrin, though - fighting a man whose face kept changing." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; TSR, Ch. 11)

"Perrin came and stood before her, a wolf lying at his feet, a hawk and a falcon perched on his shoulders glaring at each other over his head. Seemingly unaware of them, he kept trying to throw away that axe of his, until finally he ran, the axe floating through the air, chasing him. Again Perrin; he turned away from a Tinker and ran, faster and faster though she called for him to come back." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; LOC, Ch. 15)

"Perrin and a Tinker, frenziedly hacking their way through brambles with axe and sword, unaware of the cliff that lay just ahead. And the brambles screamed with human voices they did not hear." (Egwene's dream of Perrin; The Path of Daggers, Ch. 15)

"Perrin, lounging with Faile in his lap, kissing her while she played with the short-cut beard that he wore in the dream. Behind them two banners waved, a red wolf's head and a crimson eagle. A man in a bright yellow coat stood near to Perrin's shoulder, a sword strapped to his back; in some way she knew that he was a Tinker, though no Tinker would even touch a sword. And every bit of it except the beard seemed important. The banners, Faile kissing Perrin, even the Tinker. Every time he moved closer to Perrin it was as if a chill of doom shot through everything." (Egwene's dream about Perrin; The Fires of Heaven, Ch. 15)

==The Wolf Dream==
* Wolves are linked to Tel'aran'rhiod, which they call the "Wolf Dream", and therefore they partially live in the World of Dreams. Because of this, Wolfbrothers also have the ability to enter Tel'aran'rhiod.

* Oftentimes in the wolf dream, Perrin will meet Hopper, a wolf he met in early in his travels, who is now dead. Hopper sometimes helps Perrin to find what he is looking for. Once, Perrin went to Tel'aran'rhiod to find Faile. Other times, he is following Slayer, or searching for Shadowspawn.

* Like Egwene, Perrin often dreams of the future while he sleeps. His dreams, however, are seen through "windows" in the Wolf Dream. I have compiled excerpts of all of Perrin's dreams that I could find and organized them by book.

* Dreams tumbled through his head. Darkhounds chasing him; he never saw them, but he could hear their howling. Fades, and Gray Men. A tall, slender man flashed into them again and again, in richly embroidered coat and boots with gold fringe; most of the time he held what seemed to be a sword, shining like the sun, and laughed triumphantly. Sometimes the man sat on a throne, and kings and queens groveled before him. These felt strange, as if they were not really his dreams at all. (TDR, Ch. 43)

* Mat, rattling a dice cup. His opponent stared at Mat with eyes of fire. Mat did not seem to see the man, but Perrin knew him. "Mat!" he shouted. "It's Ba'alzamon! Light, Mat, you're dicing with Ba'alzamon!" Mat made his toss, and as the dice spun, the vision faded, and the dark place was dry mountains again. (TDR, Ch. 43)

* Egwene and Nynaeve and Elayne stood looking at a huge metal cage, with a raised door held on a heavy spring. They stepped in and reached up together to loose the catch. The barred door snapped down behind them. A woman with her hair in braids laughed at them, and another woman all in white laughed at her. (TDR, Ch. 43)

* It was the wolf dream, and odd things happened there, surely as odd as in any ordinary dream. (TSR)

* As though thinking of the oddities triggered one of them, a patch of sky against the mountains darkened suddenly, became a window to somewhere else. Rand stood amid swirling stormwinds, laughing wildly, even madly, arms upraised, and on the winds rode small shapes, gold-and-scarlet, like the strange figure on the Dragon banner; hidden eyes watched Rand, and there was no telling whether he knew it. The odd "window" winked out, only to be replaced by another farther over, were Nynaeve and Elayne stalked caustiously through a demented landscape of twisted, shadowed buildings, hunting some dangerous beast. Perrin could not have said how he knew it was dangerous, but he did. That vanished, and another black blotch spread across the sky. Mat, standing where a road forked ahead of him. He flipped a coin, started down one branch, and suddenly was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and walking with a staff bearing a short sword blade. Another "window," and Egwene and a woman with long white hair were staring at him in surprise while behind them the White Tower crumbled stone by stone. (TSR, Ch. 28)

* "As he scanned for the birds, a patch of sky darkened, became a window to somewhere else. Egwene stood among a crowd of women, fear in her eyes; slowly the women knelt around her. Nynaeve was one of them, and he believed he saw Elayne's red-gold hair. That window faded and was replaced. Mat stood naked and bound, snarling; an odd spear with a black shaft had been thrust across his back behind his elbows, and a silver medallion, a foxhead, hung on his chest. Mat vanished, and it was Rand. Perrin thought it was Rand. He wore rags and a rough cloak, and a bandage covered his eyes. The third window disappeared; the sky was only sky, empty except for the clouds. (TSR, Ch. 53)

== Quotes ==
"I need to know, Hopper. You said there were things I must see. I need to see more, know more. The strange things I see here. Are they real?" Perrin to Hopper about the Wolf Dream (TDR, Ch. 43)

"Sometimes, especially in the dream, I forget I'm a man, not a wolf. If one of these times I don't remember quickly enough, I'll lose hold, I'll be a wolf. In my head, at least. A sort of half-wrong image of a wolf. There won't be anything of me left." Perrin to Faile (TSR, Ch. 41)

"Maybe they're letting him sleep on silk, but a prisoner is still a prisoner." Perrin to Loial after Rand's capture by Aes Sedai (LOC, Ch. 54)

"Those threads are people. Sometimes maybe people don't want to be woven into the Pattern without any say." Perrin to Annoura and Berelain (COT, Ch. 27)

"Galina, a Red, had been in charge of the sisters who had held him prisoner, and if he was calm about her today, yesterday he had been in a fury that she had gotten away." Perrin about Rand's reaction to Galina's escape (ACOS, Ch. 2)

"She would be rescued eventually, of course; she knew that. The Tower would not allow a sister to remain in captivity. Elaida would not allow a Red to be held. Surely Alviarin would send rescue. Someone would, anyone, to save her from these monsters, especially from Therava. She would promise anything for that deliverance. She would even keep those promises." Galina (ACOS, Ch. 40)

"Galina was Aes Sedai. She must be. But what was an Aes Sedai doing here, in gai'shain robes? Not to mention apparently ready to lick Sevanna's wrist and kiss Therava's feet! An Aes Sedai!" Faile about Galina (WH, Ch. 4)

Fager Neald

2006-09-10T01:52:47Z

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Meilen Gevedon''

==General==
Fager Neald is a Murandian (WH, Ch. 1). He wears the traditional curling Murandian mustache, each side waxed to a point (ACOS, Ch. 27). He is about ten years younger than Jur Grady (ACOS, Ch. 27). Neald is described as a popinjay, always smirking at women (WH, Ch. 1). He is also described as foppish, impatient, and thinks he is more important than he actually is (COT, Ch. 25).

Neald is a Soldier from the Black Tower when he is first mentioned, but he eventually is raised to Asha'man (ACOS, Ch. 27).

==Timeline==
* Neald goes with Rand to Cairhien. He is only a soldier at this point (ACOS, Ch. 2).
* Neald goes with Perrin to Ghealdan when Perrin wants to find Masema (ACOS, Ch. 27).
* Neald and Grady as well as the Aes Sedai and Wise Ones in Perrin's camp notice the flows from the Bowl of Winds when it is used. They are unnerved because since Grady and Neald could see the flows, saidin was used. Neald remarks that the flows make him think of wind (TPOD, Ch. 7).
* Perrin and company, along with Neald, go to visit Masema in the town of Abila (TPOD, Ch. 30).
* Neald and Grady want to use Traveling to find the Shaido who took Faile captive. Perrin refuses to let them because neither one of them is skilled at tracking (WH, Ch. 2).
* Neald and Grady weave gateways to make it easier for Perrin's group to find the Shaido (COT, Ch. 5).
* Neald weaves a gateway for Perrin and his group to go into the village of So Habor. He accompanies them in the village (COT, Ch. 25, 26).
* After several of the Shaido are taken prisoner, Neald finds Perrin to tell him that the prisoners gave them information (COT, Ch. 27).

==Relationships==
Perrin thinks that Neald's mustache is completely ridiculous (ACOS, Ch. 27). He also thinks that Neald is somewhat arrogant (ACOS, Ch. 27). Even though Perrin does not particularly like Neald, he knows that Neald has no animosity towards him, and so he trusts the Asha'man (COT, Ch. 5). Towards the end of Crossroads of Twilight, Perrin notices that Neald is unusually cheerful for no apparent reason. Because of this, he begins to wonder if Neald is going crazy (COT, Ch. 27).

Neald thinks that the Aes Sedai and Wise Ones are more trouble than they are worth (ACOS, Ch. 27).

Grady and Neald get along very well and are usually found together, because most of the rest of Perrin's camp is afraid of the Asha'man (TPOD, Ch. 9).

==Miscellaneous==
Neald is from a city and thinks that any town or place without a stone wall around it is a village (COT, Ch. 27).

Neald is slightly weaker in the One Power than Grady (COT, Ch. 8).

Neald is accustomed to people being afraid of him because he is always wearing the black coat of an Asha'man and people know what it means (COT, Ch. 27).

==Quotes==
"Grady's weathered farmer's face made Perrin almost comfortable with him, but Fager Neald was another matter. Maybe ten years younger than Grady, he might have been a farmer too for all Perrin knew, but he affected airs and graces, and wore his pitiful mustache waxed to a semblance of points. Where Grady was one of the Dedicated, he was a Soldier, without the silver sword pinned to his collar, but that did not hold him back from speaking." Perrin, describing the two Asha'man. (ACOS, Ch. 27)

"Now Neald popped out of the gateway, stroking his ridiculous moustache and preening for anyone who might be watching as the [gateway] vanished. No one was, and he climbed onto his horse with a disgruntled expression." Perrin, speaking about Neald's gateways. (ACOS, Ch. 27)

"Grady and Neald were up, too, as always off by themselves, shadows in black coats among the trees. Perrin could not recall seeing them without those coats, always buttoned to the neck, always clean and unwrinkled come sunrise, whatever they had looked like the night before. Stepping through the forms in unison, the pair were practicing the sword as they did every morning. That was better than their evening practice, when they would sit cross-legged, hands on knees, staring at some distant nothing. They never did anything then that anyone could see, yet not a man in the camp but knew what they were about and kept as far off as possible." Perrin, speaking about the Asha'man as he walks around the camp. (TPOD, Ch. 9)

"The Asha'man was a popinjay, always stroking his curled mustaches, strutting and smirking at women, but he stood on the balls of his feet now, wary as a cat." Perrin, describing Neald while they are in Abila. (WH, Ch. 1)

"Neald grinned too much since the Shaido were found; maybe he was eager to come to grips with them" Perrin, describing Neald's strange cheerfulness. (COT, Ch. 25)

== General ==

Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron is the First of Mayene, a small city-state near the nation of Tear (LOC, Ch. 17). Her full title is Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron, First of Mayene, Blessed of the Light, Defender of the Waves, High Seat of House Paeron (LOC, Glossary). The coronet of Mayene, which she wears for formality, is a golden hawk in flight above her brows (TDR, Ch. 56). Despite her young age, she has been ruling Mayene for quite some time (LOC, Ch. 17).

Berelain is only a few years older than Rand (LOC, Ch. 17). She is a tall woman with a regal bearing. She has black hair that sweeps to her shoulders, large, dark eyes, pale skin and an admirable bosom. She is described as being "coolly imperious" (TDR, Ch. 56). She is incredibly beautiful, a fact commented and thought on by characters both male and female. Rand thinks that she is one of the most beautiful women he has ever met. He thinks that a man could easily drown in her dark eyes, that she has a face that would make a blind man stare, that the curve of her lips would spark thoughts of a kiss in a stone (ACOS, Ch. 18) and that she has the sort of voice that makes a man listen (LOC, Ch. 18). Mat thinks that she is a fine figure of a woman (TSR, Ch. 13). Most of the female characters in the series are annoyed by her beauty, but even Egwene admits that she is graceful (LOC, Ch. 24). She usually wears very little clothing, the better to entice men. Most of the female characters in the series seem to think she is a lightskirt.

Berelain is a very forward and outgoing woman. Nynaeve once comments that Berelain may look soft, but that she isn't; she will fight for what she wants (TSR, Ch. 6). What she wants above all is to keep Mayene safe from Tear, and she does everything in her power to ensure that Mayene is safe. She uses her beauty like a man uses a sword, playing one man who finds her beautiful against another (ACOS, Ch. 18; COT Ch. 7). Because her beauty is one of her weapons, she has no compunctions about offering herself to men when she thinks it might keep Mayene safe. However, only two men have ever shared her bed, both for politics (WH, Ch. 5). She must, however, find some pleasure in chasing after men, because Egwene has seen some of her dreams, and she sometimes dreams of men in a way that makes Egwene blush to remember (LOC, Ch. 14).

Sorilea thinks that Berelain has spirit and that there are not many men who could match her (LOC, Ch. 24). Perrin thinks that Berelain is anything but demure; putting demure on her would be like putting a sheepskin on a ridgecat (WH, Ch. 5). Nynaeve comments that Berelain is the type of person to hold hard to something that she doesn't want just because someone else wants it (TSR, Ch. 6).

Because of her position as the First of Mayene, Berelain has a talent for judging political currents; Rand thinks that she might be as good as any Cairhienin (LOC, Ch. 50). She is good at negotiations; she has practice in negotiating treaties that cover the sale of years' worth of the oilfish harvest (COT, Ch. 26). She is also very good at manipulation and maneuvering; she has kept Tear out of Mayene since she was sixteen by playing the Tairens against the Illianers (TPOD, Ch. 10).

Berelain claims that she always keeps her promises (LOC, Ch. 50). Perrin thinks that Berelain will do what she promises, but he thinks she will have her own reasons for doing so, like an Aes Sedai, and that the things she makes no promises about can stab you in the back (WH, Ch. 5).

== Timeline ==
Moiraine knows that Rand is in Tear because the First of Mayene, who has been a "guest" in the Stone of Tear for months, has announced that she will submit to the will of the High Lords of Tear. Just the day before, she had sworn that she would see Mayene and all of its ships burn before giving in to Tear. Because the High Lords did not even have to torture her for her submission, Moiraine knows is certain that it was Rand's ta'veren effect (TDR, Ch. 53; TSR, Ch. 2).
* After the fall of the Stone of Tear, Berelain brings a message to Moiraine knows, though she complains that she is not used to being given messages to carry. She tells them that the message was given to her by an impressive woman (Lanfear). She smile at Rhuarc, who is with Moiraine knows, and comments that the fighting in the Stone of Tear disturbed her sleep, and that perhaps she will ask him to dine with her one day quite soon. She tells Moiraine knows to inform TDR that the First of Mayene will dine with him tonight, and then marches out of the room (TDR, Ch. 56).
* After Rand captures the Stone of Tear, Berelain does not return to Mayene; Rand thinks that this is odd, as most rulers would, after being held captive for months, immediately return to their throne and nation (TSR, Ch. 2).
* Berelain sneaks into Rand's rooms with the intent of seducing him; she gets past his Aiel guards by telling them that Rand summoned her. Rand is very embarrassed to see her, as he is wearing nothing but his smallclothes. He tries to make her return to her chambers, saying that he will speak to her in the morning, but she argues that he is always surrounded by Tairens and Aiel during the day. When she continues trying to seduce him, he pushes her away with a flow of air and imprisons her with it; at first she looks afraid, but she manages to control her fear. He tells her to go away, promising that Tear will never bother Mayene again, but she begs him to be able to stay (TSR, Ch. 2).
* After Rand and Berelain are attacked by bubble of evil that causes his reflections to come to life, she is terrified and, thinking that she did something that offended him, and probably fearing that he is going mad, she apologizes and begs him to forgive her, swearing on her mother's name and under the Light that she will not bother him again. Rand replies that there is nothing to forgive, and tells her to leave if she wishes. Before she leaves, she tells him that she will send the Aiel in to him, if he wishes, but he tells her that he would appreciate it if she tells no one what happened. She agrees, and leaves quickly (TSR, Ch. 2).
* Perrin and Faile are walking through the Stone of Tear when Berelain hurries out of Rand's room. Perrin, trying to prove to Faile that he can be polite, bows very low to her, though Faile barely nods. Perrin can smell fear from Berelain, rank and raw, and so stares after her, angering Faile and probably starting the contention between the two women. They see Torean stop Berelain, and Perrin can hear him saying something about offering Berelain protection; she replies sharply and leaves him (TSR, Ch. 3).
* Rhuarc runs into Berelain, and she tells him about what happened in Rand's rooms (TSR, Ch. 3).
* Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve are not very pleased with Berelain for being in Rand's rooms (TSR, Ch. 6).
* Rand tells the High Lords of Tear to approach Berelain and ask her price for hiring some of her ships so that they can ship grain to Illian. He also tells them that they will offer her a treaty pledging that Tear will leave Mayene alone in exchange for the ships (TSR, Ch. 8).
* Berelain has not been leaving her chambers lately, likely because of her encounter with Rand in his rooms (TSR, Ch. 9).
* Rand is angry that the High Lords of Tear have not yet spoken to Berelain about ships to take the grain to Illian. Rand tells Meilan and Sunamon that if they have not spoken to Berelain and offered her the treaty by midday on the next day, he will have them hung by sunset the next day, and that he will hang two High Lords every day if he must until the treaty is offered and signed (TSR, Ch. 9).
* Mat passes Berelain in the halls of the Stone of Tear. He bows elegantly and formally to her, but she just sweeps past him. He becomes angry at her ignoring him and says so. He hears her mutter something about "too much like me" as she walks away (TSR, Ch. 13).
* Berelain visits Perrin in his rooms. She informs him that she will be leaving for Mayene on the next day; after Trollocs attacked the Stone of Tear and Rand killed them using saidin, she is apparently too afraid to stay in the Stone any longer. She tells Perrin that she is telling him so that he can let Rand know. Perrin tries to get her to tell Rand herself, but she says that she does not think Rand would wish to see her. He tells her to give her message to a servant, instead, and tries to make her leave his rooms, but she seems intent on staying. When she learns that Perrin is a blacksmith, she comments that she has use for a blacksmith in Mayene. Faile enters Perrin's rooms before Berelain leaves; when Faile sees her, Berelain moves closer to Perrin and runs a hand up his arm, across his shoulder, and tells him that she always gets what she wants. When Perrin and Faile are alone, Perrin, in an attempt to distance himself from Faile, mentions that Berelain wants him to go to Mayene and that, after he is done in the Two Rivers, he might (TSR, Ch. 14).
* Faile finds Berelain outside in the hallways. Faile tells her that Perrin belongs to her and threatens to shave Berelain's head as bald as an egg if she does not forget about Perrin. The two begin to fight; as they fight, Berelain taunts Faile, saying that she will make Perrin hers, and that Faile can have him when she is done with him, if he still wants her. Eventually, Rhuarc shows up and stops them. He sends Berelain to her rooms, telling her not to leave them until the sun is above the horizon, and that he will see that no breakfast is brought to her; he thinks that perhaps a bit of hunger will remind her that there is a time and a place for fighting. When she argues, he tells her that if she does not leave, they will repeat their first talk, right out in public; whatever the talk was about, it must have been very embarrassing for Berelain. When Faile asks about it, Rhuarc replies that it is between him and Berelain (TSR, Ch. 14).
* Rand receives a message that Berelain is a few hundred miles south of the city of Cairhien, on her way to join Rand with a small army. Rand does not know how she managed to get across Tear. Rand thinks to himself that, likely Berelain thinks he might forget about protecting Mayene from Tear if she does not remind him. He thinks of possibly putting her in charge in Cairhien (TFOH, Ch. 51).
* Berelain has been put in charge of Cairhien by Rand (LOC, Ch. 14). He puts in her in charge for many reasons: she was the first ruler to freely offer an alliance to Rand, he can trust her because she needs his help in keeping Tear away from Mayene, she is a foreigner and therefore has no reason to favor one faction over another, nor does she have hope of seizing power, and because she knows the running of a country. She knows what she is doing, and she listens to advice from Rhuarc. The Cairhienin accept her as much because she is not Aiel as because Rand appointed her (LOC, Ch. 17).
* Rand Travels from Caemlyn to Cairhien; he meets Havien Nurelle, Berelain's Lord Lietuenant, and has Nurelle take him to Berelain and Rhuarc, but they find him before he can have them found. When Rand asks them if everything is well, Berelain tells him that it is as well as can be expected. They speak of matters in Cairhien, including the young Cairhienin who try to act like the Aiel, Caraline Damodred and Toram Riatin, and the Shaido. They also talk about the Aiel in the south; Berelain thinks that there should be more Aiel in Cairhien. She also talks to Rand about things such as the attempts to resettle farmers; she thinks that, by the next year, there should be no need for grain from Tear, if the drought ever stops, and mentions that merchants are once more coming to Cairhien, before moving on to speak of finances. When Mangin arrives to tell Rand that he killed a Cairhienin and will accept the penalty of murder, Berelain will not look at Rand. When Rand becomes angry that Berelain did not tell him about it, she responds that she is not used to men coming up to her and telling her they just committed murder, and then curses the Aielmen and their honor. Rhuarc tells Rand that he has no cause to be angry with Berelain (LOC, Ch. 17). Rand orders them to have Mangin hung tomorrow, and then leaves them (LOC, Ch. 18).
* Before Rand leaves Cairhien on the next day, Berelain tells him that Mangin has been informed of his impending death. Rand does not seem to care, and the Wise Ones frown at her disapprovingly, probably for bringing it up. Berelain and the Wise Ones accompany Rand to the Traveling grounds, but none of them speak to him. Before he leaves, Berelain asks Rand to give Perrin her warmest wishes, and Mat, as well (LOC, Ch. 19).
* Egwene finds Berelain sipping tea with Amys, Bair and Sorilea. When Egwene announces that there are Aes Sedai in Cairhien, Berelain stands, saying that she must return to the palace; she wonders what the Aes Sedai will feel about no one being there to greet them. She asks Amys if she could send a message for Rhuarc to meet her in the palace. Sorilea tells her that she should not rely on Rhuarc so much; Rand gave Cairhien to her to tend. As Berelain leaves, Amys kisses her on the forehead and cheeks, as if she were a daughter; this astounds Egwene. Egwene tries to warn Berelain that the Aes Sedai must be handled carefully as Elaida means no good to Rand, and Berelain replies insinuatingly that she will do whatever she can for Rand. Sorilea reprimands her; Berelain blushes and asks the Wise Ones not to tell Rhuarc, which they agree to do (LOC, Ch. 24).
* Berelain offers Elaida's embassy to Rand accommodation within the Sun Palace, but they refuse to stay in the palace for even a night. Later, Sarene comments to the rest of the embassy that Berelain might be difficult; she has been speaking with Berelain, likely about what will happen in Cairhien if/when Rand leaves, but she thinks that more time will be necessary with her. Sarene does not know whether the apple or the whip would work better with her. Erian replies that they will use whichever necessary (LOC, Ch. 25).
* While Elaida's embassy is in Cairhien, Berelain receives no fewer than ten visits from various members of the embassy, advising her on what she should do when Rand returns to the Tower. She receives the strong impression that she should return to Mayene, or else be escorted there (LOC, Ch. 53).
* Berelain tells Rand that he should meet with Harine din Togara Two Winds (LOC, Ch. 27).
* Rand comments to Egwene that Berelain is troubled and uneasy about something, but that she won't say what it is (LOC, Ch. 27).
* In an attempt to take his mind off of Lews Therin, Rand tries to concern himself with other issues. Berelain is ready to jump out of her skin for the number of times he asks her about things that she is perfectly capable of handling herself. He thinks that she has begun trying to avoid him (LOC, Ch. 28).
* Berelain has a message from the Sea Folk sent to Rand (LOC, Ch. 28).
* Rand's visit to Cairhien seems to have shaken everyone except for Rhuarc. Berelain seems to have gone into hiding, refusing to see anyone she does not have to, and apparently Rhuarc has taken her to task for neglecting her duties, though it had little effect (LOC, Ch. 32).
* When Rand is back in Cairhien, he calls Berelain to task for neglecting her duties, which Rhuarc told him of. She asks Rand who he means to have rule in Cairhien, and he tells her that he means to give the Sun Throne to Elayne; Berelain replies that Elayne is a good choice (LOC, Ch. 50).
* In the following days, Berelain is back at work over reports of grain shipments, resettlement of refugees and repairs to damages (LOC, Ch. 50).
* Now that Perrin is in Cairhien, Berelain begins to seek him out once again. The first time she approaches him, he manages to name Faile his wife six times in as many sentences, and to say twice how much he loves Faile, in an attempt to discourage Berelain (LOC, Ch. 50).
* The next day, Perrin sees Faile talking to Berelain. He catches Berelain reminding Faile that she always keeps her promises; she is likely referring to her promise that she will make Perrin hers (LOC, Ch. 50).
* Berelain begins to stalk Perrin. At first, Perrin thinks that it is just chance encounters in the hallways, but it happens too often. She always touches him, though not blatantly. Perrin begins to dread seeing Berelain and tries to head in the opposite direction when he smells her nearing him. Whenever she manages to corner him, he tries mentioning Faile, or asking Berelain to stop. She does not seem to hear Faile's name, and asks him what he wishes her to stop. When he simply asks her to leave him alone, she does not comply, and Faile becomes extremely jealous. Perrin begins leaving the palace to hunt early in the mornings and doesn't return until late. Every night, Berelain is waiting for him and he has to work hard to avoid her (LOC, Ch. 50). Finally, Perrin gives up and spends a whole day with Faile, and Berelain does not approach him that day (LOC, Ch. 51).
* Berelain has proof that Colavaere had a servant put poison into Maringil's wine (LOC, Ch. 53).
* After Rand has been captured by Elaida's embassy, Berelain enters the room in which Perrin, Faile, Loial, Dobraine and Sulin are talking. She is carrying something long and narrow, wrapped in a blanket and cradled in her arms. Perrin, thinking that she has come to flirt again, shouts at her to leave. Berelain is so surprised that she drops her bundle and takes a step back. Perrin then realizes that what Berelain has dropped is Rand's sword and dragon buckle, and they all realize that Randhas been kidnapped. Berelain acts nervous of Sulin when the Maiden decides to shed her livery and take up the spear again for Rand, and she steps closer to Perrin. Perrin tries to go stand by Faile, who moves away, and Berelain follows him. He keeps trying to escape and she keeps following, until he finally turns on her and orders her to stay where she is, which she does. Berelain comments that few men can make her obey, but that she thinks he is one. Finally, she becomes serious, and tells them how she went and searched around in Rand's apartments, worried about the rumors concerning him and the Aes Sedai, and found the sword and buckle (LOC, Ch. 53).
* Berelain wants to lead her Winged Guards in the rescue of Rand from the Aes Sedai, but Rhuarc convinces her otherwise, telling her that if she leaves the city that she was placed in charge of by Rand, more rumors will grow. She takes his advice and stays in Cairhien (LOC, Ch. 54).
* When Perrin leaves to aid in the rescue of Rand, Berelain puts about the story that Perrin is at a manor not far from the city where she can visit him. This makes Faile incredibly angry (ACOS, Ch. 6).
* When Colavaere Saighan becomes the Queen of Cairhien, she takes both Berelain and Faile as attendants. Faile believes that Colavaere only took Berelain as an attendant in order to throw the two of them together, so that she could amuse herself waiting for Berelain and Faile to claw each other's eyes out (ACOS, Ch. 6).
* Berelain is not one of the women attendant on Colavaere when Rand arrives back at the Sun Palace (ACOS, Ch. 5).
* When Rand learns that Annoura is Berelain's Aes Sedai advisor, he paroles Annoura into Berelain's custody. After the mess with Colavaere is sorted out, Rand has Annoura bring him to Berelain (ACOS, Ch. 5). Rand does not find her in the palace; she is instead staying the night on the Sea Folk ship anchored in the river (ACOS, Ch. 6).
* When Berelain returns from the Sea Folk ship, there is a man waiting on the dock with a knife. He got no closer to her than three steps because she had a dozen of the Winged Guards and Captain Gallene with her. There are rumors in the palace that Berelain betrayed Colavaere, and so Rand is worried that those loyal to Colavaere might try to have her killed again (ACOS, Ch. 18).
* Because he is worried about the attempt on Berelain's life, Rand sends her a letter bearing orders for her to return to Mayene. Berelain and Annoura speak to Rand about it, and Berelain demands an explanation, saying that she has governed well in his name and that he knows it; she could not stop Colavaere from being crowned, but she was able to stop her from changing the laws. She is angry that he didn't even tell her to her face, but sent her a letter, thanking her for her service and then dismissing her like a clerk who is done collecting taxes. She offers to stay and help him smooth things over with the Sea Folk, as Harine is angry that Rand hasn't been to see her yet. Rand thinks to himself that Berelain wishes to stay in Cairhien with Rand because Rand can protect Mayene. He offers her any guarantees of Mayene's safety that she wishes, but she will not have it. She tells him that, while she sits in Mayene with his guarantees, others will serve him and ask for rewards, and her service to him will fade from his mind; she is worried that if someone like Weiramon gave Illian, Murandy or Altara to Rand, that he might ask for Mayene in return. Rand asks her if she will serve him even if it means leaving. When Cadsuane arrives and dismisses Berelain, Rand asks her to think on his proposal, and she replies that she will serve him wherever and however he wishes (ACOS, Ch. 18).
* Berelain accompanies Perrin and others to Ghealdan. As far as anyone in Cairhien knows, she is on her way back to Mayene (ACOS, Ch. 27). She leaves a letter with Min, afraid that Rand will drag his feet with the Sea Folk, asking Min to remind Rand. that he must do something about the Sea Folk (ACOS, Ch. 33). In Ghealdan, it will be Berelain's job to speak to Alliandre, the Queen of Ghealdan, to ascertain whether or not she supports Rand. Perrin is very concerned with keeping as much distance between Berelain and himself and Faile as possible (ACOS, Ch. 27).
* Berelain tells Perrin that she thinks she should be the one to speak to Alliandre, since it is why she was sent to Ghealdan; apparently, Faile thinks the job should be hers, and Perrin is unsure whom to choose. Berelain tells Perrin that Annoura, as an Aes Sedai, will be granted an audience right away and that she will therefore be granted an audience as well, with none the wiser save Alliandre, since she will simply accompany Annoura (TPOD, Ch. 7).
* Perrin finally decides that Berelain will be sent to Alliandre in Bethal, with Annoura and Gallenne. Berelain chortles in delight. Before they leave, Perrin stresses caution, and emphasizes that Berelain, and only Berelain, is to speak to Alliandre. They leave, with Berelain carrying a simple message saying that Rand understands Alliandre 's caution in contacting him, but that if she wants his protection, she must support him openly (TPOD, Ch. 7).
* Berelain meets with Alliandre. Berelain tells Alliandre a great deal about Rand and Perrin (TPOD, Ch. 10).
* Berelain, Annoura and Gallenne return from Bethal with Queen Alliandre. In Perrin's tent, Berelain introduces Alliandre to Perrin. When Alliandre swears fealty to Perrin, Berelain nods her head frantically, urging him to accept. When he does, she smiles strongly in relief (TPOD, Ch. 10).
-When Perrin leaves the tent after Alliandre swears fealty to him, Berelain comments snidely to Faile about her new servants, Maighdin and the others, and Faile replies that they suit her well enough, and that she always thought Berelain was fit for hiring servants, the meaning of which Berelain does not understand. Faile then asks Annoura to ward the tent against listeners; Annoura does so, and Berelain does not look pleased at having Annoura accepting Faile's orders. Berelain seems to approve of Faile's plan of having Alliandre write to her nobles about the banner of Manetheren that Perrin has raised; the noble will run to Masema with the news, but Alliandre will also tell them that she will take care of Perrin herself, so that Masema need not be bothered. This will cause confusion among them (TPOD, Ch. 10).
* Instead of running from Berelain or shouting at her, Perrin now tolerates her blandishments as he would a child playing around his feet. This pleases Faile very much, for some reason, likely because Perrin is no longer letting Berelain play with him (TPOD, Ch. 30).
* Faile, Berelain, Alliandre, Maighdin, Bain, Chiad and others go out hawking while Perrin is in Abila. Faile thinks to herself that Berelain's presence is the only real blight on the outing, though watching her shiver in the cold is certainly amusing, since Mayene doesn't have a "real" winter. When Faile is informed by Parelean, Arrela and Lacile that Masema has been meeting with the Seanchan, she announces that she must go to Abila to tell Perrin, and instructs Alliandre to take Berelain and Maighdin with away her. However, a group of Shaido Aiel attack right then. Faile tells everyone, including Berelain, that they must all ride like fire, for someone must reach Perrin with the news. Everyone but Berelain is either captured or killed. Once among the Shaido, Faile thinks to herself that the worst thing about it all is that she must now hope that Berelain was able to escape to reach Perrin (TPOD, Ch. 30). Later, Faile hopes that Berelain has reached Perrin and told him everything, but that afterwards, she fell into a hole and broke her neck (WH, Ch. 3).
* Berelain informs Perrin of the Aiel attack and the fact that his wife and others were captured. No one else from the party has returned, though she hopes that someone else has escaped as well. She has sent a squad of lancers to scout, and they should return by nightfall with news. When Arganda wants to put the Aiel with Perrin to the question over Alliandre's capture, Berelain explains to him that the Aiel with Perrin were not involved. When Perrin reminds Arganda that Alliandre swore fealty to him, which makes him Arganda's lord, and tells him that he will question or touch no one unless he says so, Berelain tells him that he did that very well. She looks full of pity and compassion for him. When she tries to touch him, he backs away, telling her that his wife has been taken and that he has no time for her childish games. She blushes, but tells him that her games are not childish, and comments that, with two women contesting over him, she would think he would be flattered. Berelain and Gallenne ride off, speaking together (WH, Ch. 2).
* Berelain finds Perrin outside with Tallanvor, mourning over the loss of Faile and Maighdin, nearly frozen, and has Perrin brought to her tent; no one else had the nerve to disturb him. Annoura Heals him, though is still afraid he might die, and Perrin spends the night sleeping in Berelain's tent. When Perrin awakens, he and Berelain talk. Berelain tells him that no one hopes that Faile is alive more than she does, and she even smells honest. He tries to leave, but she, displeased, leaves before him. She returns with news that one of her maids is brining hot food. She then tells Perrin that she knows he his hurting, and she offers him her shoulder to cry on, telling him that they can call a truce until Faile is found. He asks, carefully, why they need a truce. She responds with, "very well, Perrin. If that is how you want it," though Perrin does not understand what she means by that. Her scent is affronted. She then tells Perrin about what she, Faile and the others learned before the Shaido attack, that Masema is meeting with the Seanchan. She also tells him that the scouts she sent out searching for Faile, who were killed, were not killed by Aiel, unless Aiel have begun using crossbow bolts. As he leaves, she reminds him that he must use discretion in dealing with Masema (WH, Ch. 5).
* As Perrin leaves Berelan's tent, her maids and thief-catchers seem to think that he has spent the night with Berelain in more ways than one (WH, Ch. 5).
* The next day, Perrin has men sent to tell Berelain and Arganda to have the Mayeners and Ghealdanin moving (WH, Ch. 6).
* Perrin and Balwer speak of having some of the Cha Faile spy on Berelain. Medore Damara would be the most likely choice; because her father is a High Lord of Tear, she has sufficient rank to approach Berelain (COT, Ch. 5).
* Everyone in the camp believes that Perrin slept with Berelain on the very night that Faile was taken, and Berelain has done nothing to correct the tale. Perrin has avoided her since that night (COT, Ch. 6).
* Berelain speaks to Perrin under the guise of flirting. She gives him a basket of food, since he didn't eat that morning, and she comments that obviously he didn't wash, either. She doesn't smell like a hunting she-wolf, like usual, but of patience, amusement, and fear. Perrin wonders if it would be disloyal to eat food brought by Berelain. She tells Perrin to go wash, since a noble is expected to look like a noble; they can't afford for Perrin to begin loosing respect, not surrounded by enemies as they are; Berelain believes that Perrin may be their only chance of reaching their homes alive again, and that without him, everything falls apart. She tells him to smile, so that people think they are flirting and not speaking seriously, and Perrin bares his teeth while thinking to himself that Berelain has stripped himself of any respect he had by letting others think that he has been disloyal to Faile with her. She then tells him that she has had her two thief-catchers spying on Masema, and makes a comment about Faile's Cha Faile spies being there as well; Perrin thinks to himself that he will have to warn Balwer to be careful in setting people to spy on Berelain, since she is aware that Cha Faile is being used as spies. She tells Perrin that, in the basket of food, there is also a document that one of her thief-catchers stole from Masema's camp, and she warns him not to let anyone see him reading it. It happens to be an order from Suroth, saying that the bearer of the document is to have whatever aid he requires. Berelain let her thief-catchers go back to Masema's camp, but they have not yet returned to Berelain, and she is worried. Perrin tells her that Masema likely knows she has the document, and that he hopes she is keeping a heavy guard about her at all times. She replies that, as of last night, Gallenne has fifty men sleeping around her tent. They speak briefly about Annoura, who wants Berelain to hand the document over to her to burn, and Perrin ends up telling Berelain that Annoura has been meeting with Masema. She smells alarmed, though Perrin doesn't know if it's because her advisor is meeting with Masema or if it is because Perrin knows. She comments shortly after that she will find out what Annoura is up to, and she smells determined (COT, Ch. 6).
* When she sees the Darkhound tracks, Berelain stares at them with as little expression as if she were Aes Sedai, though her hands tighten on her reins. Gallenne tries to convince Berelain that the Mayeners should turn back since there are enemies all around. Berelain replies that they will go on, since, if there are enemies all around, going on is as safe as turning back. She says, though, that even if it were safer to turn back, she still wouldn't; she intends to see Faile rescued, and her men cheer her on. Berelain then asks Masuri, who is studying the Darkhound tracks, what she has learned (COT, Ch. 7).
* When they receive news that Masema is on his way, Berelain states that she will not run from him even though he likely wishes her dead, though Gallenne obviously disagrees with her decision. Gallenne tries to arrange his men between Berelain and Masema's approaching men, but she gives him a sharp look, and they change their formation, though she is still at the center of it. When Masema arrives, he tells Perrin, Berelain and the others that there are full storehouses in So Harbor, since he knows that Perrin's group is running out of supplies; Berelain questions him about it (COT, Ch. 7).
* When the scouts find the Shaido camp, Arganda asks the Wise Ones if the Shaido will take a ransom for the prisoners. Berelain tells Perrin that if they will, her jewels are at his disposal, and that if necessary, Grady and Neald can fetch more jewels, as well as gold, from Mayene. Perrin decides that they will pay no ransom. He wishes to see the Shaido camp, but Berelain, Gallenne and Annoura disapprove. As they ride back to their camp, Berelain rides beside him, trying to engage him in conversation. She smells doubtful and uncertain about his decision, and he thinks that she might wish to talk him into paying the Shaido a ransom. Finally, Berelain gives up and goes to ride with Gallenne. They talk, glancing now and then at Perrin. Berelain tells Annoura to accompany Perrin when he goes to spy on the Shaido camp (COT, Ch. 8).
* Berelain has stopped smelling as if Perrin is a fat lamb caught in brambles for her meal. He talks to her about missing Faile, now, and she listens and smells of sympathy (COT, Ch. 25).
* Berelain gets ready to accompany Perrin into So Harbor to buy supplies for their armies. She contributes money for the supplies, along with Perrin and Arganda (COT, Ch. 25).
* Perrin, Berelain and the others enter So Harbor. Once they are inside, Perrin wants to find somewhere else to trade because the place makes everyone uneasy, but Berelain replies that they are already there, and that there is nowhere else. They speak to the grain merchants, and Berelain handles the negotiations. They look at samples of the grain, but Berelain insists on seeing the storehouses as well. When it is found out that the food is full of weevils, Berelain tells them that she will pay only half the price she last offered, and only if the grain and beans are winnowed (COT, Ch. 26).
* Perrin and Berelain speak briefly about what is happening in So Harbor with the ghosts. They leave the town and return to their camps (COT, Ch. 27).
* Berelain appears where Perrin, Masema and others are gathered around the captured Shaido that were brought back to the camp to be questioned. She wrinkles her nose when she sees the Aielman that was being tortured. While Perrin considers what to do with the prisoners, he notices the reactions of several of those around him; Berelain smells of judgment (COT, Ch. 27).
* Berelain is present when a captured Galina is brought to Perrin. Berelain tries to excuse Perrin's lack of manners to Alyse (the name Galina is using) by saying that he is under considerable strain. Alyse/Galina tries to convince Berelain to help her talk Perrin into not attacking the Shaido too soon. Berelain speaks with Alyse/Galina about Perrin, and invites her to stay for dinner. When Alyse/Galina tells Perrin to hit her before she leaves, so that it looks like she was attacked and beaten, he refuses to do it; Berelain does it instead (KOD, Prologue).
* Berelain accompanies Perrin to his meeting with the Seanchan. Gallenne tries to convince Berelain to return to the camps, but she insists on accompanying Perrin when he rides forward to meet Tylee Khirgan and Bakayar Mishima. Annoura also thinks that Berelain should return, but Berelain is taking pains to stay away from Annoura, due to a rift that has opened between them. Annoura wishes to accompany Berelain when she rides forward with Perrin, but Berelain refuses. Once Perrin and Berelain have been introduced by Tallanvor to Tylee and Bakayar Mishima, Tylee questions Berelain on her name, and Berelain tells Tylee that her family is descended from Artur Paendrag. Tylee tells her that this makes her a distant cousin of the Imperial family and that, no doubt, the Empress will honor her, so long as she doesn't make any claims to Hawkwing's empire. Berelain replies that the only claim she makes is to Mayene, which she will defend to her last breath. When Tylee later makes a comment that the Seanchan have crossed the ocean to take back their lands, Berelain replies hotly that those on this side of the ocean mean to keep their lands, and tells Tylee that the Ever Victorious Army of the Seanchan is misnamed, because she has heard that Rand has beaten them before; she informs Tylee that Perrin can beat them, as well (KOD, Ch. 4).
* When Perrin enters his tent after supervising the adding of forkroot to the aqueduct outside of Malden, Berelain and Tylee are waiting for him, along with Annoura, Aram, Lini, Breane and Balwer. When Tylee tells Perrin that she wishes to speak to him alone, Berelain tells that she and Annoura will leave, but Perrin replies that anything Tylee wishes to say, she can say in front of everyone else. When the world ripples just after Tylee informs Perrin that there are two large parties of Aiel moving towards Malden, Berelain shudders and Perrin puts a comforting arm around her; she clings to him, trembling (KOD, Ch. 26).
* On the morning when the rescue of Faile is to take place, Berelain, Annoura, Masuri and Masema ride up to Perrin. Berelain smells of patience and anxiety. She reminds Masema that he had wished to speak with Perrin. Later, Perrin thinks to himself that Masema has reason to wish him and Berelain dead, and that he will tell Gallenne that his primary task that day is to protect Berelain from Masema's men (KOD, Ch. 29).
* Berelain had half-suggested to Perrin that she might lead the Winged Guards into the charge to free Faile, but she does not; she is instead surrounded by Winged Guards intent on protecting her. She objects to her soldiers being held back from the fighting by protecting her (KOD, Ch. 29).

== Viewings and Dreams ==
"A falcon and a hawk, perching on your shoulders. Both female, I think" Min's viewing of Perrin, Faile and Berelain (TDR, Ch. 6)

"Perrin with a falcon on his shoulder, and Perrin with a hawk. Only the hawk held a leash in her talons, Egwene was somehow convinced both hawk and falcon were female, and the hawk was trying to fasten it around Perrin's neck" Egwene's dream of Perrin, Faile and Berelain (TDR, Ch. 25)

"She had dreamed of Perrin with a wolf, and with a falcon, and a hawk, and the falcon and the hawk fighting" Egwene's dream of Perrin, Faile and Berelain (TDR, Ch. 37).

"Perrin came and stood before her, a wolf lying at his feet, a hawk and a falcon perched on his shoulders glaring at each other over his head. Seemingly unaware of them, he kept trying to throw away that axe of his, until finally he ran, the axe floating through the air, chasing him" Egwene's dream of Perrin, Berelain and Faile (LOC, Ch. 15).

"He's found his falcon, and I wouldn't be surprised if she kills him when the hawk appears" Min commenting about her viewing of Perrin, Faile and Berelain (LOC, Ch. 46).

"I saw nothing of any use to you. Just a man in white who will make her fall head over heels. Some women have no shame at all!" Min's viewing about Berelain (LOC, Ch. 50).

== Relationships ==
Berelain's people feel more than fondness for her (COT, Ch. 7). Gallenne, the Lord Captain of the Mayener Winged Guards, claims that most of his gray hairs are because of Berelain (KOD, Ch. 4).

[[Annoura Larisen]] of the Gray Ajah is Berelain's Aes Sedai advisor. This fact was kept secret for a long time due to Tear's attitude towards both Mayene and the White Tower. While she was away from Mayene, Berelain sent detailed letters to Annoura to keep her up to date (ACOS, Ch. 19). By the time Colavaere was crowned Queen of Cairhien, Annoura had traveled to Cairhien in order to be with and advise Berelain (ACOS, Ch. 5). When Rand learns that Annoura is Berelain's advisor, he paroles the Aes Sedai into Berelain's custody (ACOS, Ch. 5). Annoura never hesitates about speaking up when she disagrees with advice offered to Berelain (COT, Ch. 8). Annoura seems, at times, to be resigned to Berelain's chasing after married men; at other times, she seems amused by it, and even helps her out by arranging for her to be alone with Perrin (WH, Ch. 2). After Berelain learns that Annoura was meeting secretly with Masema, a rift opens between them (COT, Ch. 26; KOD, Ch. 4). Berelain tells Perrin that she has little idea what Annoura thinks anymore, and that Annoura is not as forthcoming as she once was (COT, Ch. 26).

Torean is interested in Berelain (TSR, Ch. 3; TSR, Ch. 9); Rand is angry that Torean is trying to force his attentions on a woman who won't look at him (TSR, Ch. 9).

At first, Berelain is mostly interested into getting into Rand's bed in order to secure Mayene's safety. Although Rand refuses to sleep with her, he promises to keep Mayene safe from Tear (TSR, Ch. 2). He keeps his promise throughout the series. After Rand turns Berelain down and frightens her because of the bubble of evil that attacked them in his rooms in the Stone of Tear, Berelain is frightened of Rand for some time (TSR, Ch. 2; TSR, Ch. 9; TSR, Ch. 14). This eventually gets worked out, and by ACOS, she has definitely stopped being afraid of him (ACOS, Ch. 18). Berelain was the first ruler to offer Rand an alliance freely. He trusts her because he knows that she needs him in order to keep Mayene safe from Tear. He puts her in charge of running Cairhien for him, and his reasons are several: as a foreigner, she has no reason to favor one faction over another; she has no hope of seizing power; she knows the running of a country; and she listens to Rhuarc's advise (LOC, Ch. 17). He trusts her to rule Cairhien until Elayne takes the Sun Throne, and even trusts her not to have any ambitions for the throne (LOC, Ch. 50). Rand is no longer comfortable seeing Berelain in person because he enjoys looking at her too much; while he does not think this is exactly wrong, he almost does (ACOS, Ch. 18).

Berelain generally tends to ignore Mat, which makes him angry. At one point, he is angry enough about her ignoring him that he tells her so, and as she walks away, he hears her mutter something about "too much like me" (TSR, Ch. 13). However, once she asks Rand to give her good wishes not only to Perrin, but to Mat as well (LOC, Ch. 19).

Berelain spends a good part of the series chasing after Perrin. He does everything he can to convince her to leave him alone: he reminds her that he has a wife, he avoids her, he tries spending all of his time with Faile, and he even shouts at her (LOC, Ch. 50; LOC, Ch. 51; LOC, Ch. 53). Perrin is extremely annoyed, and doesn't know what more he can do to discourage her short of tying her up (TPOD, Ch. 7). Finally, he simply begins to tolerate her like he would a child playing around his feet (TPOD, Ch. 30). After Faile is captured, she begins to stop chasing him and is even sympathetic. He talks to her about missing Faile, and she listens and smells of sympathy (COT, Ch. 25). Perrin thinks that Berelain has come to accept that he loves Faile and no one else, and that Berelain is as determined to see Faile freed as he is (KOD, Ch. 26). Perrin thinks that she is a beautiful woman, even more so since she has stopped chasing him (KOD, Ch. 4).

There is a rumor in Perrin's camps that he slept with Berelain on the night that Faile was captured. Even the Two Rivers men seem to believe it, and most of them will not look at Perrin when Berelain is in the vicinity (COT, Ch. 26). Others, such as Lini, also believe the rumor (KOD, Ch. 26).

For a long time, Faile despised Berelain. She considers her to be a milk-faced vixen, a sneaking sow, and a prancing she-goat. Faile is often very jealous of Berelain when she is chasing Perrin around. Berelain once swore to Faile that she would make Perrin hers, and that Faile could have him once Berelain is done with him, if he still wants her (TSR, Ch. 14). Because of this promise, Berelain and Faile fight over Perrin throughout the series. Faile thinks to herself that, because she cannot treat Berelain as she deserves, she is forced to play a game with Perrin as the gaming board, and as the prize, or so Berelain believes (TPOD, Ch. 10). However, while Faile still hates Berelain, a grudging respect has come to replace the contempt; Berelain knows when to put their game with Perrin aside. If it were not for Perrin, Faile thinks she might have actually liked Berelain (TPOD, Ch. 10).

Egwene does not like Berelain at all. Among other things, she would like to have her in the Tower as a novice, or would like to stuff her in a barrel and ship her back to Mayene in the bottom of a hold (TDR, Ch. 56; TSR, Ch. 6). She would rather have her tongue torn out than ask a favor of Berelain (LOC, Ch. 24), and Rand can imagine Egwene offering to dance the spears with her (LOC, Ch. 27). Egwene thinks to herself that Berelain can't keep her mind on one man long enough to make him love her and that she will always be chasing after a new man (TSR, Ch. 6). She thinks that if Berelain ever finds a man who tells her "no," it will shake Berelain's world to its foundations (LOC, Ch. 27). Rand thinks to himself that Berelain does not like Egwene, either (LOC, Ch. 17). Even Egwene, however, admits that Berelain is graceful (LOC, Ch. 24). Berelain does not like Egwene, either (LOC, Ch. 17).

Elayne also does not like Berelain. Like Egwene, she would like to have Berelain in the Tower as a novice (TDR, Ch. 56). When Egwene comments that she would like to stuff Berelain in a barrel and ship her back to Mayene in the bottom of a hold, Elayne adds that she wants to switch her all the way to the ship (TSR, Ch. 6). Elayne is quite disgusted with Berelain because she was found in Rand's chambers (TSR, Ch. 6). Aviendha wonders why Elayne has not challenged Berelain over Rand (TSR, Ch. 9). Elayne dearly hopes that she isn't the third woman in Min's viewing about Rand (TFOH, Ch. 50); she would rather strangle Berelain than share Rand with her (TSR, Ch. 12). When Elayne finds out that Aviendha is the third woman in love with Rand, she thinks to herself that it could have been worse: it could have been Berelain (LOC, Ch. 40).

Berelain thinks that Elayne is a good choice for Queen of Cairhien. She thinks that the Cairhienin will accept her, including, perhaps, the rebels in the hills (LOC, Ch. 50).

Nynaeve thinks that Berelain is the type of woman to fight for what she wants, and also to fight for and hold on to what she doesn't want just because someone else wants it (TSR, Ch. 6).

When Berelain and Min meet for the first time, Rand is reminded of two strange cats that have just discovered that they are shut up in the same small room. Min seems to be as disgusted as the other women over Berelain's behavior and manner of dressing, and wonders why she wears any clothes at all (LOC, Ch. 50).

Berelain's first reaction to Rhuarc was to attempt to seduce him (TSR, Ch. 6). Rhuarc, however, has a talk with Berelain that is apparently very embarrassing for her, although the readers are not privy to it (TSR, Ch. 14). When Berelain makes an insinuating comment to Egwene, in the hearing of the Wise Ones, that she will do whatever she can for Rand, Sorilea reprimands her, and Berelain, blushing, asks the Wise Ones not to tell Rhuarc (LOC, Ch. 24). When Rand put Berelain in charge of Cairhien, Rhuarc is one of her advisors; one of the reasons Rand chose Berelain is because she listens to advice from Rhuarc. They share a study in the Sun Palace (LOC, Ch. 17). Rhuarc treats Berelain like a daughter, though Sulin once comments that if Berelain were truly Rhuarc's daughter, Rhuarc would have no time for anything other than beating her (LOC, Ch. 53). Rhuarc reminds Berelain of her father. Sorilea thinks that Berelain shouldn't depend on Rhuarc so much, as Rand gave Cairhien to her to tend (LOC, Ch. 24).

The Wise Ones have taken a liking to Berelain (LOC, Ch. 18). Even though the Wise Ones are usually suspicious of wetlanders, Berelain might as well be another Wise One for how they treat her (LOC, Ch. 19): like a woman of sense and respect (LOC, Ch. 18). Amys, like Rhuarc, seems to consider Berelain a daughter; Egwene once sees her kissing Berelain on the forehead and cheeks like a mother to daughter (LOC, Ch. 24). Sorilea also smiles on Berelain like a daughter (LOC, Ch. 18) and thinks that she has spirit; she thinks that the Wise Ones should find the right husband for Berelain, one to match her, if one such exists among the wetlanders (LOC, Ch. 24).

The Cairhienin people accept Berelain as their governor as much because she is not Aiel as because she was appointed by Rand. To some extent, Berelain supports the young Cairhienin who try to be like the Aiel; she even lets several of the young noblewomen whose parents do not approve stay in the Sun Place, and says that she will not deny the young women what she promised them (LOC, Ch. 17).

DobraineTaborwin admits that Berelain knows how to run a city, but that she thinks every day is the Feast of Lights (LOC, Ch. 53).

Masema likely wishes to see Berelain dead (COT, Ch. 25).

Breane Taborwin dislikes Berelain with a passion (KOD, Ch. 26).

== Miscellaneous ==
* Rand thinks to himself that he doesn't know much about Berelain except that she walks through the Stone of Tear as if it were her palace in Mayene (TSR, Ch. 2).
* Thom says that the First of Mayene asks questions constantly, and of everyone (TSR, Ch. 2).
* Egwene wishes she could bring herself to wear the kind of dresses that Berelain wears; although they are not suitable for the public eyes, they certainly do appear to be cool (TSR, Ch. 5).
* There are many rumors in Cairhien; one of them is that Berelain is to be crowned on the Sun Throne (LOC, Ch. 24).
* She has eight hundred Winged Guards with her in Cairhien, aside from those who went to Dumai's Wells with Nurelle (ACOS, Ch. 18).
* She thinks that the Sea Folk are important to Rand (ACOS, Ch. 18; ACOS, Ch. 33).
* When she is in Ghealdan with Perrin, she has a large tent, larger than Perrin and Faile's, in the Mayener part of the camp, plus one for her two maids and another for the two thief-catchers that she insisted on bringing. Annoura and Gallenne also have tents of their own (TPOD, Ch. 7).
* She is a good rider (COT, Ch. 6).
* Berelain knows that her people are being spied on by Cha Faile, and Balwer knows that she knows, and she knows that he knows (COT, Ch. 25).

==Quotes==
"Berelain may look soft - she certainly makes men see her so! - but I do not think she is. She will fight for what she wants. And she's the kind to hold hard to something she doesn't particularly want, just because someone else does want it." Nynaeve to Egwene and Elayne (TSR, Ch. 6)

The First ignored her. Stepping close to Perrin, she ran a hand up his arm, across his shoulder. For an instant he thought she meant to try pulling his head down for a kiss... she certainly lifted her face as if for one... but she only trailed her hand along the side of his neck in a quick caress and stepped back. It was over and done before he could move to stop her. "Remember," she said softly, as if they were alone, "I always get what I want." And she swept past Faile and out of the room. Berelain and Perrin (TSR, Ch. 14)

"Guarantees." Bleakness engulfed honey, and anger bubbled again, cold this time. Annoura plucked at Berelain's sleeve, but she paid the Aes Sedai no heed. "While I sit in Mayene with your guarantees, others will serve you. They will ask then rewards, and the service I did here will be faded and old, while theirs is bright and new. If the High Lord Weiramon gives you Illian and asks Mayene in return, what will you say? If he gives you Murandy, and Altara, and everything clear to the Aryth Ocean?" Berelain to Rand (ACOS, Ch. 18)

"Despite what you may have heard, you will be only the third man to share my bed." Her eyes were... smoky... yet she might have been saying he was the third man she had spoken to that day. Her scent... The only thing that came to mind was a wolf eyeing a deer caught in brambles. "The other two were politics. You will be pleasure. In more ways than one," she finished with a surprising touch of bite. Berelain to Perrin (WH, Ch. 5)

"There will be no alteration, Lord Gallenne." Sometimes it was easy to forget that she was a ruler, small though Mayene was, but there was a regal note in her voice fit for the Queen of Andor. Back straight, she made her saddle seem a throne, and she spoke loudly enough to make sure everyone heard her decision, firm enough that everyone knew the decision had been made. "If we have enemies all around, then going on is as safe as turning back or turning aside. Yet if turning back or turning aside were ten times safer, I would still go on. I intend to see the Lady Faile rescued if we must fight our way through a thousand Darkhounds, and Trollocs as well. That I have sworn to do!" Berelain (COT, Ch. 7)

"When you go to buy a sack of flour," she said, "wear plain wool so the sellers think you can't afford to pay any more than you must. When you're after flour by the wagonload, wear jewels so she thinks you can afford to come back for all she can lay hands on." Berelain to Perrin (COT, Ch. 25)

"The only claim I make is to Mayene," Berelain said proudly. "And that I will defend to my last breath." Berelain to Tylee Khirgan (KOD, Ch. 4)

"And we mean to keep our lands," Berelain said fiercly, making her mare lunge across the few paces of dead grass between her and the Seanchan. The mare was eager to lunge, eager to run, away from that wind, and she had trouble reining the animal in. Even her scent was fierce. No patience now. She smelled like a she-wolf defending her injured mate. "I've heard that your Ever Victorious Army is misnamed. I've heard The Dragon Reborn defeated you soundly to the south. Don't you ever think that Perrin Aybara can't do the same." Light, and he had been worried over Aram's hotheadedness!" Berelain to Tylee (KOD, Ch. 4)

Zhareen din Narelle:

''Atarah al'Norahn''

==General==
Tsutama Rath is an Aes Sedai of and Sitter for the Red Ajah. When she participated in gentling men outside of Tar Valon, which goes against Tower Law, she was exiled, along with the other two Red Sitters, Lirene and Toveine Gazal (ACOS, Prologue).

Tsutama is beautiful, and hard-eyed enough to make Moiraine flinch. Since her exile, Elaida thinks to herself that Tsutama is now a nervous-eyed woman. Although Toveine Gazal has been called back from her exile, there is no mention of Tsutama or Lirene also being called back (ACOS, Prologue).

==Timeline==
* After the death of Laman Damodred and his brothers during the Aiel War, Tsutama asks Moiraine outright if she has ever considered being Queen of Cairhien (NS, Ch. 6).
* Tsutama Rath, Lirene, and Toveine Gazal are exiled from the White Tower for gentling men outside of the White Tower. All three were Sitters for the Red Ajah; they resigned and went into a "voluntary" retreat (ACOS, Prologue).

==Miscellaneous==
* Seven Sitters, one from each Ajah, speak to Moiraine about Cairhien over the course of one day. Tsutama is the last (NS, Ch. 6; NS, Ch. 13).
* Toveine Gazal is sent to work at a farm when she is exiled; although it is never mentioned directly, it is likely that Tsutama and Lirene suffered the same fate (TPOD, Ch. 26).

==Quotes==
"Have you ever thought," Tsutama said casually, toying with the red fringe of her shawl, "of being Queen of Cairhien yourself?" Tsutama to Moiraine; (NS, Ch. 6).

"Toveine Gazal had been fifteen years away from the Tower, until Elaida summoned her back. The other two Red Sitters who had resigned and gone into a "voluntary" retreat at the same time were nervous-eyed women now, but unlike Lirene and Tsutama, Toveine had only hardened in her solitary exile." Elaida (ACOS, Prologue).

Semirhage

2006-09-10T00:44:17Z

Zhareen din Narelle: /* Quotes */

''Estyrien al'Halien''

== General ==
Semirhage is one of the Forsaken; one of thirteen of the most powerful Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends who turned to the Shadow. (BWB, Ch. 5) During that Age, she was known as Nemene Damendar Boann; her Talent of Healing obviously gave her enough prestige to allow her the much sought after third name. (BWB, Ch. 6) After it became public that she supported the Shadow the people gave her the name Semirhage. (TGH, Ch. 7) This name means something in the Old Tongue since the names of the Forsaken were given for a reason; Ishamael means Betrayer of Hope, (TEOTW, Prologue) while Sammael means Destroyer of Hope, (TFOH, Ch. 44). However, we do not know what Semirhage means though it no doubt reflects her character.

We are introduced to Tuon's Soe'feia Anath and multiple clues have led many people to believe that she is Semirhage in disguise. Anath and Semirhage have the same physical traits of black eyes and being tall, slender and dark skinned. (References: LOC, Ch. 6 and WH, Ch. 14). Anath seems to show tenderness when punishing Tuon, which is convenient because Semirhage is a sadist. Tuon's previous Truth Speaker was killed when she 'fell' down some stairs. Anath was appointed even though someone else had already been trained. (WH, Ch. 14) Both Anath and Semirhage wear unrelieved black, (WH, Ch. 17; BWB, Ch. 6) while Anath's speech doesn't have the noticeable Seanchan drawl. (WH, Ch. 17) There are more hints and so it is commonly believed that Anath is Semirhage in disguise though it has not been proven.

Semirhage has dark eyes and skin and is remarkably tall for a woman. (BWB, Ch. 6) She has slender long fingers. (LOC, Prologue) As Anath, who apparently has the same appearance as Semirhage, she is slender, beautiful and has full lips. (WH, Ch. 14) She has short wavy black hair that is not shaved or plaited as some Seanchan have. (WH, Ch. 17) Semirhage does not have the ageless look because she has never held the Oath Rod. (ACOS, Ch. 8)

During the Age of Legends, Nemene was a healer of the body, known as a Restorer. (BWB, Ch. 6) However, she was also a sadist and tortured her patients when she Healed them. When the Hall of Servants discovered this, they gave her the ultimatum that either she was stilled or she was bound against torturing her patients. Semirhage joined the Shadow rather than face either fate. (LOC, Ch. 6) She proved to be very useful to the Shadow even though she was not a very good general. She tortured members of the Hall of Servants and made them claim allegiance to the Shadow. She ran a network aimed to discover all traitors to the Shadow. (BWB, Ch. 6)

* Third Age: Anath goes into seclusion after Tuon disappears. (CoT Chapter 4)

== Strengths and Talents ==
As a Forsaken, Semirhage can wield large amounts of the One Power, (WH, Glossary), though she is not allowed to use the True Power now that Moridin has been named Nae'blis. (WH, Ch. 13) Semirhage is weaker in the One Power than Lanfear, who is the strongest of the female Forsaken. (BWB, Ch. 6)

Semirhage's main Talent is that of Healing. It is said that she could Heal anything short of death and that she brought hope when everyone else had despaired. During the Age of Legends, she was summoned to far away places to Heal those on the brink of death. She was particularly good at Healing problems to do with the brain. During the War of Power, Semirhage honed her power in Healing and turned attention to using the One Power for torture. (BWB, Ch. 6) Her torture left her victims so changed that not even Graendal could have helped them. Semirhage was able to use the centres of the brain for pain and pleasure in a new form of torture. (LOC, Ch. 6)

Semirhage is bad at controlling the weather, (TFOH, Ch. 30), but she has the ability to block Gateways. (TFOH, Ch. 32) She has some ability in Tel'aran'rhiod, (TFOH, Ch. 14) and since the damane can't sense the spark in Anath, we can assume that Semirhage can Mask the Glow. (WH, Ch. 14)

== Relationships ==
None of the Forsaken trust or like each other and so it is logical to believe that this is true for Semirhage. (TFOH, Ch. 3) Lanfear and Semirhage hate each other and the reason why Semirhage wears black is because Lanfear wore white. (LOC, Prologue) Semirhage wishes that she could torture Lanfear. (LOC, Ch. 6) Semirhage makes Mesaana feel very uneasy, (LOC, Prologue) but she, Semirhage and Demandred have agreed that they will have a loose allegiance until the other Forsaken have been killed. (WH, Ch. 13)

Semirhage believes that Tuon is a wilful charge and dislikes having to spend time away from her because she might do something in Semirhage's absence. (LOC, Ch. 6) Anath berates Tuon strongly and some people are shocked that she speaks so harshly to the Daughter of the Nine Moons. (WH, Ch. 18)

Semirhage hates Aes Sedai, especially Aes Sedai who served in the Hall of Servants and those Aes Sedai in the current Age. She hated the Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends because they wanted to still her or bind her against torturing her patients. She thought that they acted because they were jealous of her and thought more of her victims than her. She got her revenge when the Councillors of the Hall were captured and she tortured them. (LOC, Ch. 6)

== Miscellaneous ==
* It was Semirhage who discovered that thirteen channellers channelling through thirteen Myrddraal who convert any channeller to the Shadow. (BWB, Ch. 6)
* People who knew that they were going to be handed over to Semirhage often attempted suicide to get away from her. (BWB, Ch. 6)
* Semirhage likes to sew. (LOC, Prologue)
* Semirhage taken care in what she does and takes one step at a time. (LOC, Ch. 6)
* Semirhage was one of the first Forsaken to go to Shayol Ghul. (LOC, Ch. 6)
* Some of the other Forsaken do not know where Semirhage is and who she is trying to influence. (LOC, Ch. 23)
* People in the Two Rivers say that when it rains when the sun is shining, it is Semirhage's tears from her beating by the Dark One. (TPOD, Ch. 22) However, Semirhage is calm and poised at all times and never cries. (BWB, Ch. 6)
* Semirhage is unable to join many meetings of the Forsaken, presumably because she is surrounded by damane who would detect her channelling. (WH, Ch. 13)

== Quotes ==
"She had deserved the right to do what she did; she had earned the right. She had been more valuable to the world than all those together who entertained her with their screams. And in jealously and spite the Hall had tried to pull her down" Semirhage about her sadism. (LOC, Ch. 6)

"Semirhage took delight in cruelty, a pure pleasure in giving anguish"* Mesaana about Semirhage. (LOC, Prologue)

"Not even Demandred dared suggest to Semirhage's face that she wore black so often because Lanfear wore white" Mesaana about Semirhage. (LOC, Prologue)

"The woman had been almost tender about it, in an odd fashion, though she left her weeping for days" Tuon about Anath's beating. (WH, Ch. 14)

"'Surely you will punish her for this', she drawled angrily, glaring holes through Anath" Suroth to Tuon about Anath's harsh criticisms. (WH, Ch. 18)

Semirhage

''Estyrien al'Halien''

== General ==
Semirhage is one of the Forsaken; one of thirteen of the most powerful Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends who turned to the Shadow. (BWB, Ch. 5) During that Age, she was known as Nemene Damendar Boann; her Talent of Healing obviously gave her enough prestige to allow her the much sought after third name. (BWB, Ch. 6) After it became public that she supported the Shadow the people gave her the name Semirhage. (TGH, Ch. 7) This name means something in the Old Tongue since the names of the Forsaken were given for a reason; Ishamael means Betrayer of Hope, (TEOTW, Prologue) while Sammael means Destroyer of Hope, (TFOH, Ch. 44). However, we do not know what Semirhage means though it no doubt reflects her character.

We are introduced to Tuon's Soe'feia Anath and multiple clues have led many people to believe that she is Semirhage in disguise. Anath and Semirhage have the same physical traits of black eyes and being tall, slender and dark skinned. (References: LOC, Ch. 6 and WH, Ch. 14). Anath seems to show tenderness when punishing Tuon, which is convenient because Semirhage is a sadist. Tuon's previous Truth Speaker was killed when she 'fell' down some stairs. Anath was appointed even though someone else had already been trained. (WH, Ch. 14) Both Anath and Semirhage wear unrelieved black, (WH, Ch. 17; BWB, Ch. 6) while Anath's speech doesn't have the noticeable Seanchan drawl. (WH, Ch. 17) There are more hints and so it is commonly believed that Anath is Semirhage in disguise though it has not been proven.

Semirhage has dark eyes and skin and is remarkably tall for a woman. (BWB, Ch. 6) She has slender long fingers.

Semirhage

===Embers Falling on Dry Grass===
''Toral Delvar''

Characters: [[Dain Bornhald]], [[Eamon Valda]], [[Galadedrid Damodred]], [[Jaret Byar]], [[Rhadam Asunwa]], [[Trom]]

Setting: Amadacia

Point of view: [[Galad]]

Galad rides with Byar, Bornhald and Trom, who is newly promoted, to Valda's mansion. Bornhald looks hung over and Byar talks about how he has done dark things, but some things are too dark to be allowed. Trom tells Valda that a child under his command wishes to claim the right of Trial by combat. Asunwa says no, but Valda says he wants to revive old traditions and allows it. Galad accuses him of murdering Morgase. Asunwa tries to stop it and orders Galad's arrest, but the Children do not let this happen. Galad and Valda fight, Byar warning Galad of the way Valda likes to attack. Valda tries to put him off by telling him what a good ride Morgase was. Galad warns Dain to watch Asunwa, even if he wins. Galad gets in the first cut, but after that, Valda cuts him several times. He pretends to be weakening and growing reckless and when Valda tries to finish him, strikes and kills Valda.

Asunwa leaves as soon as it is over, taking his men with him. Trom offers to release Galad from the Children to save him from Asunwa, but he declines. He tells them they should ally themselves with anyone who will fight the Seanchan and the Last Battle, even if that means Aes Sedai or Asha'man. Trom reveals that according to law, Galad is now Lord Captain Commander. Galad thinks this is foolishness.

Characters: [[Rodel Itulrulde]], [[Tornay Lanasiet]]

Setting: Tarabon

Point of view: [[Rodel Itulrulde]]

Rodel is with Taraboners and Domani, just outside Serana in Tarabon, where the Seanchan have been building their own villages. He judges the discipline in the camp to be slack. Some of his men ride forward to attract attention and draw out the Seanchan, enabling the bowmen to kill the damane, sul'dam and the officer. They quickly finish off the rest of the archers. A third volley takes out most of the survivors, with a few being allowed to flee. They burn the stores.

----

Characters: [[Liandrin]], [[Lunal Galgan]], [[Mikhel Najirah]], [[Semirhage]], [[Suroth]]

Setting: The Tarasin Palace, Ebou Dar

Point of view: [[Suroth]]

Suroth lies awake worrying about Tuon. She believes her to be dead, but is unsure. She has realised that Tylin was not killed by an Aes Sedai, but believes it was by a damane, one of those that fled, though she does not believe that Seta or Renna could have been involved and has dismissed Egeanin's disappearance as coincidence. The disappearance of Tuon's personal bodyguard has also given her hope. She wonders who Tuon is aiming at if she does indeed still live. In seventeen days, all she has found is a story of Tuon extorting money from a goldsmith, which she has dismissed as ridiculous

Liandrin enters. She has killed Alwhin as she believed that Suroth wanted her dead, but it was clumsily done. She instructs Liandrin to have herself beaten. Liandrin takes her to Banner General Mikhel Najirah, who angers her by merely kneeling instead of lying prostrate. He takes her to Lunal Galgan, who leads the armies of the Return, though he is accepting her rule. She thinks this is so that he does not have to face responsibility for Tuon's disappearance. Seven supply camps have been destroyed, plus numerous supply trains, small outposts and patrols. He sounds as if he admires Rodel's strategy, much to her annoyance. She demands that nine in every ten raken in Amadacia and Altara are set to looking for the bands against his advice, as he feels that with seven thousand deserters in Amadacia, they are needed there. Suroth does not trust Asunwa and the Children who remained in Amadicia and is considering making them da'covale. She tells him to make sure Rodel is hounded into Arad Doman and the Blight if necessary. She walks back, angry.

In her room, Semirhage appears, masked in fire. Semirhage says that she could make Suroth the ruler this side of the ocean. When Suroth tells her that she would be punished by the Empress for this, she is told the Empress Radhanan and all her family are dead. Tuon is the only survivor and the empire is in chaos and revolt. Semirhage seems to suggest that it is the deathwatch guards who are involved with an impostor. Suroth tells her that she intends to become Empress if it means killing the Empress (Tuon). She intends to send Elbar with fifty men for every one that Musenge has.

----

Characters: [[Javindhra]], [[Pevara]], [[Tsutama]], [[Yukuri]]

Setting: The White Tower

Point of view: [[Pevara]]

Twelve days after Rand has cleansed Saidin, Pevara and Javindhra talk with Tsutama, the new Head of the Red Ajah. The third sitter, Duhara is not present, having left the Tower a week before for unknown reasons. Pevara reflects on how people had thought Tsutama broken on her return from exile, but no longer. Pevara thinks that she is extravagant and perhaps not entirely sane. She believes Javindhra to be Elaida's lapdog, but even she seems pleased at the idea of Elaida's fall. Pevara considers the events that led to Tsutama's downfall to be disgusting. Tsutama reads a letter from Sashalle, in which she reveals that Logain had been healed and is an Asha'man, that she herself has been healed and is in charge of the sisters with her and that she and they have sworn fealty to the Dragon Reborn. Sashalle says that she looks forward to re-swearing the oaths. They reluctantly accept this. Tsutama tells Pevara to move forward with her scheme for the Asha'man. Javindhra is forbidden to mention this to Elaida, which also seem to please her. They leave.

Pevara walks back, thinking that the Tower has less then two hundred sisters. She thinks on whom to approach first with regards to negotiating with the Asha'man. She joins Yukiri, who reveals that Marris Thornhill, one of Atuan's heart, broke and swore to them. As with the others, her one other was out of the Tower, so the hunt has ground to a halt, Yukuri reveals that Talene has received a summons to stand before the High Council of the Black Ajah. Pevara thinks that they can use this to take them all out in one go, but soon realizes that this would be folly. She is asked if Toveine has contacted them and tells almost everything, except theallegations against Elaida that were in the letter. Yukuri says she intends to keep silent as they cannot pull Elaida down in such troubled times. Seaine joins them with the same news. She tells them that Elaida has asked how she is getting on with the investigation into whether Alviarin entered into a treasonous correspondence with the Dragon Reborn: she had not, after all, set them to hunt for the Black Ajah, making it possible that Elaida herself is Black Ajah.

----

Characters: [[Alviarin]]

Setting: The White Tower

Point of view: [[Alviarin]]

In the White Tower, Alviarin worries about the mark the Dark One gave her. She overhears two sisters arguing about the food spoilage and is pleased that it has been noticed. She thinks that the Tower is shattered beyond mending. In her quarters, she learns that Talene has disappeared and orders a close watch on Doesine and Yukuri.

----

Characters: [[Arganda]], [[Berelain]], [[Fager]], [[Galina]], [[Gaul]], [[Perrin]]

Setting: Gheldean

Point of view: [[Galina]]

Galina rides alone in the woods, wondering how she is to escape Therava and Sevanna. Fager and Gaul appear, bind her, blindfold her and take her away. She is confused when she overhears them and learns that they know she is Aes Sedai, but nonetheless plans how to deal with Perrin. When meeting Him, she is shocked to see he has golden eyes and that Neald is an Asha'man. He reveals that he knows she is afraid, which confuses her more. She warns him against staying, saying that Faile and Aliandre are under her protection and his presence could ruin everything. She ties to convince Berelain, who points out that they are three to four days away with difficult terrain in between them and the Shaido. When she learns that she cannot put him off, she changes her mind and asks him to delay his attack instead. He tells her thatshe can have a few days, but it is clear that it is only because he is waiting for something. He asks if the Wise Ones are also given to drink, but she tells him they don't touch alcohol. He instructs her to tell Faile to go to Lady Cairen's fortress when wolves howl in the daylight and she agrees, though she does not mean it. She asks Perrin to strike her, so that it will look to Therava that she has been beaten, but he refuses and Berelain does it instead, suprisingly hard.

----

Characters: [[Barasine]], [[Berisha Terakuni]], [[Egwene]], [[Felaana]], [[Katerine]], [[Nicola]], [[Pritalle Nerbaijan]], [[Silviana Brehon]]

Setting: The White Tower

Point of view: [[Egwene]]

Egwene pretends to be unconscious, listening to the women who captured her. She asked who betrayed her and Felaana is forced to stop Katerine from striking her, all three women embracing saidar. She tells them that she converted the chain to cuendillar. She is confused as to why Elaida chose to send women who detested each other. Once she reaches the Tower itself, she sees Nicola, dressed in novice white. Nicola drops her a curtsey and apologizes for running away, calling her the Amyrlin. Pritalle leaves, holding saidar with her warder guarding her back. Barasine and Katerine intimidate Berisha so that she does not go with them when they take Egwene to Silviana. Melare joins them and tells them they caught the person at Northharbor halfway through and that she was a wilder they didn't feel or see using the Power. She tells them the woman is claiming to be Leane Sharif of the Green Ajah and is being beaten for that. Egwene explains what happened to Leanne and Melare agrees to question her to see if it could be true.

Once in the Mistress of Novices office, Silviana tells Barasine and Katerine to leave. She asks why Egwene isn't hysterical and Egwene merely answers "Would it do any good?" She tells Egwene that she is to be reduced to novice, but Egwene replies that she is Aes Sedai and the Amyrlin Seat. Silviana tells her she will not be shielded during the day, but lightly dosed with forkroot and only shielded at night. Silviana takes her to the novice dorms, telling her that her first beating will be on the following morning. On the way there, Egwene tells them of a dream she had, that the Seanchan will attack and do great harm to the Tower. Once in her room, she quickly puts herself to sleep and waits until Siuan is asleep and can be visited in her dreams.

==General==
Mikhel Najirah is a Banner-General of the Seanchan forces and acts as a messenger for the Captain-General Galgan. He is a lanky and graying man in blue-and-yellow armor with a helmet bearing three thin blue plumes, which means his message is important. (KOD, Prologue)

* He signs the orders to raise Tylee Khirgan to Lieutenant-General and to the Blood (KOD, Epilogue)
* At a later meeting, he inquires about Ituralde's current numbers of men. He insists that they need to work to keep their minds off the news from Seanchan (KOD, Epilogue)

==Relationships==
Suroth loathes him. Officially he should be of a lower rank than she, because she commands the Forerunners. (KOD, Prologue) He clearly states that she is under his command because the Forerunners were subsumed by the Return. She decides to kill him, since he is her way of becoming Empress (KOD, Epilogue)

He admires Rodel Ituralde's strategical skill, even if he attacks his own ranks (KOD, Prologue)

==Miscellaneous==
