Timeline

• She is one of the twenty Windfinders to accompany Nynaeve and Lan to the Tarasin Palace as agreed to in the Bargain with the Mistress of the Ships (ACoS, Ch. 37). On Renaile's agreement, the Windfinders accompany Elayne and Nynaeve wherever they will go to activate the Bowl of the Winds (ACoS, Ch. 39).

• Among the group of Windfinders, she rides through Aviendha's gateway from the Tarasin Palace to the Kin's farm (TPoD, Ch. 1; Ch. 3), where they arrive already so bruised from riding that Nynaeve Heals them (TPoD, Ch. 4). When the Seanchan attack the farm (TPoD, Ch. 6), she Travels with the others to Andor, riding toward Caemlyn (TPoD, Ch. 20) and eventually arriving at the Royal Palace (TPoD, Ch. 28).

• She is present at Nynaeve's lessons with the apprentices (WH, Ch. 11).

• After learning of Nesta's death, the Sea Folk in the Royal Palace want to go to Illian immediately to elect a new Mistress of the Ships. Zaida bargains with Elayne, ending up with her leaving nine Windfinders, including Kurin, behind (CoT, Ch. 12).

• She is present when Birgitte demands a gateway big enough for a thousand soldiers of Chanelle and the Windfinders after Elayne is captured by the Black Ajah (KoD, Ch. 32).
