Rhiale

Author: Kyria d'Oreyn

General

Rhiale is a Wise One of the Shaido Aiel. She is blue-eyed (ACoS, Ch. 20) and flame-haired (TPoD, Ch. 11).

Timeline

• Although she is not directly mentioned, she is one of the thirteen Wise Ones who murdered Desaine (LoC, Ch. 53). She is mentioned when Sevanna recalls seeing Rand beaten by the Aes Sedai, though (ACoS, Prologue).

• She stays with Sevanna during the battle at Dumai's Wells (ACoS, Prologue).

• Two days after the battle, she and the other Wise Ones activate the call box "Caddar" (Sammael) had given Sevanna to call him (ACoS, Ch. 20).

• Rhiale mentions to Sevanna that Efalin and the other Maidens said Galina admitted killing Desaine. Sammael then appears disguised as Caddar with Graendal as Maisia by his side and opens gateways to scatter the Shaido. Rhiale follows Sevanna and the other channeling Wise Ones to Ghealdan (ACoS, Ch. 40).

• She reached the decision with the other Wise Ones that Sevanna is to have Therava as her advisor (TPoD, Ch. 11).

• After the Wise Ones question a Seanchan soldier, they make Galina swear to obey them, Sevanna and Therava most of all (TPoD, Ch. 11).

• She listens to what some of the gai'shan have to report about Sevanna (KoD, Ch. 5).

Quotes

"Sevanna intends to break her. We have had long talks of what to do should we capture any Aes Sedai. Sevanna wants a tame Aes Sedai to wear white and serve her. An Aes Sedai in black will do well enough, though." (Rhiale to Therava about Galina; A Crown of Swords, Chapter 40)
