Randland Night Sky

There are several constellations, mentioned through the books, some of which might resemble or be connected to constellations found in real life. (Theory)

Verin held charts of the night sky in her office (TDR, Ch. 21). When examining them Egwene recognizes the following constellations:

• The Plowman
• The Haywain
• The Archer
• The Five Sisters

others were unfamiliar.

As a child, Mat used to find it calming to look at the stars and try to name the constellations (LoC, Ch. 22).

Halfway between Maerone and Tear (City), close to the river Erinin, during the later half of the year, Mat sees the following constellations:

• The Haywain (high overhead)
• The Five Sisters
• The Three Geese (Pointing the way north)
• The Archer
• The Plowman
• The Blacksmith
• The Snake (Aiel called that one The Dragon)
• The Shield (Called Hawkwing's Shield by some)
• The Stag
• The Ram
• The Cup
• The Traveler (a female, holding a staff)
