Edarra

Author: Kyria d'Oreyn

General

Edarra is a Wise One of the Neder sept of the Shiande Aiel. She is tall, smooth-cheeked and looks not much older than Rand or Perrin, with cool blue eyes and fair hair (LoC, Ch. 19; TPoD, Ch. 7). She can channel quite strongly (ACoS, Ch. 19; ToM, Ch. 6).

• She was at Dumai's Wells (ACoS, Ch. 1) and accompanies Rand back to Cairhien (ACoS, Ch. 3).
