7/11/96 GLOSSARY Characters from the Wheel of Time Series: The Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Shadow Rising, The Dragon Reborn, The Fires of Heaven, The Lord of Chaos, and The Crown of Swords, by Robert Jordan Compiled by M. C. Friddle (Sidesadl@aol.com) Note: This compilation was originally intended for personal use. Any errors are probably mine, although some comments and opinions are the result of discussions on the net, and with individuals who contribute to those discussions.. This glossary was brought up to date after reading The Crown of Swords, so if you haven't read the whole series, please be aware that some of the descriptions will be major spoilers for you. In past books, even minor characters have taken on significance which could not even be guessed at when they first appeared. For this reason, an attempt has been made to catalog even minor players. Page numbers are taken from the hardcover versions of all books, except The Great Hunt, which is the large, softcover (trade) edition. Appendices containing lists of Aes Sedai, Wise Ones, Wise Women, Ter'angreal, etc. have been added. In addition, place names and descriptions have been separated from the Glossary, for those who wish to construct maps. Future versions will contain appendices for the Old Tongue and particulars on the different cultures in Randland. Aan'Allain - Aiel name for Lan. In the Old Tongue means "one man alone", "one man", or "man who is an entire people" Abell Cauthon - Mat's father. He is a farmer and horsetrader, is respected in Emonds' Field.

(From LOC) Aethan Dor - A Red Shield (Aiel), the Thief Catchers of the Aiel. Rhuarc was one for a time Afara - Aes Sedai sent from Salidar to Tarabon Age of Legends - Occurs more than 3,000 yrs before the story. Lews Therin started the Breaking, which put an end to the Age, but the insane male Aes Sedai finished it. It is said that Aes Sedai could fly during the aol, and could make themselves invisible. Remnants from AOL are scattered througout the series: Whitebridge, the statues carved into the Mountains of Mist, the huge statue of the snake entwining a staff (symbol of healing) in Taien, shattered buildings just below the snow line in the moutains of the Jangai Pass, crystal lattice covering an island which hums when the moon is up, cuendillar, the contents of Demandred's stasis box. Also lightsticks, razorlace, mountain hollowed into a bowl, with a silver spike a hundred spans high which kills anyone who comes near.

Letters in a smooth cliff 2 spans high (TSR 322) which are the remnants of Manetheren, Agelmar Jarad - Lord of Fal Dara.

Ailron - King of Amadicia, Guardian of the Southern Gate (Nobody seems to know what precisely the Southern Gate is). Morgase seeks refuge with him at Seranda Palace in Amador, where Whitecloaks actually rule. At the behest of the WCs, Ailron is trying to annex several border villages, including Salidar. Akarrin - Brown Aes Sedai in Salidar Ajahs - the factions within the White Tower. The are seven, each identified by a distinctive color.

He is shielded from Saidin by Lanfear, so that he can channel enough to teach Rand. His real name is Joar Addam Nessosin.

Only Greens have more than one Warder, but the Greens who have only one Warder are usually married to them. (reference to M. passing Lan's bond found in TGH, pg 271) Lan hints at a sort of bond already existing between him and Nynaeve: "If you die, I will not survive you long". None of the Forsaken understand the bond between A.S. & Warders (LOC 141).

(LOC 143) In LOC (264), Birgitte & Elayne can feel each other's exhaustion. In addition, Elayne gets drunk when Birgitte does (ACOS 369) They speculate that perhaps the reason is because they are both women.

According to Byar, the Aes Sedai did it, when in reality Geofram Bornhald had ordered Byar out of Falme before the battle. In the last chapter of TGH, Geofram's last thought is that Byar won't be able to tell Dain how he died.

She is described in the ACOS prologue as a tall woman of dark shadow and silver light, who has a habit of tapping her steepled forefingers against her lips. Alviarin cannot sense the ability to channel in her - possibly a side effect of her disguise, which is woven of the Power.

There is speculation that she may also be a darkfriend - was absent from Fal Dara at the same time Ingtar was, when he attended the gathering at Shayol Gaul. Even though she knows it it dangerous to the pattern, she uses balefire against the Forsaken. She once made the statement to Egwene that she "knew the name of the man she would marry better than Egwene ever could". She is Taringail's youngest half sister (which makes her Elayne's aunt), she is also the neice of King Laman's (who cut down Avendoraldera and started the Aiel Wars) . She and Lanfear disappear into the doorframe ter'angreal at the end of FoH.

He is described as "a sleek, somewhat overfed man, with drooping eyelids. Short and completely bald." If he can capture a visitor to the city he can take on new flesh and leave the confines of Shadar Logoth. Padan Fain uses this name in ACOS, so presumably he and Mordeth are one. He has no aura to Min's eyes. Morgase - exiled queen of Andor and Elaynes' mother. She is presently in Amador in the Fortress of Light. She has abdicated her throne to Elayne, in secret.

He is a darkfriend Myrelle - A Green Aes Sedai with whom Moiraine makes arrangements to pass Lan's bond upon her death.

Interestingly, Myrelle wears a collar with marriage daggers in tel'aran'rhiod. It has 3 daggers, and a fourth dagger appears and disappears, indicating her tie to Lan. This would indicate that she is from Ebou Dar, a fact which has not been noted elsewhere in the series. She is noted for her volatile temper, even amongst the Greens. Myrelle equates any connection with Mat's Band as treason - possible threat to Egwene? (ACOS 223) When Egwene discovers that Myrelle holds Lan's bond, Myrelle says she intends to pass it to Nyneave, that was her agreement with Moiraine.

He is behind the armies of Dragonsworn marching through Altara & Murandy, soon into Andor. He also spreads the "rumor" (which he does not believe) that the Tower has split and the B.A. has taken control. Therefore, Rand would be a puppet of the Black Ajah. He is also spreading the rumor that the Salidar contingent are renouncing being Aes Sedai, because of horror and shame of the Black Ajah, and that they have approached Niall for mercy. Niall also wants Elayne & Gawyn found. He is in his mid 80's in ACOS, when Omerna kills him. He has already issued orders for Carridin to kidnap Elayne out of Ebou Dar.

Slender & pink cheeked Nynaeve - The former Wisdom of Emond's Field who is possibly the most powerful Aes Sedai in over a thousand years. In the early books she considers the One Power dangerous and addictive, and this may be a large part of her block, along with her hatred of Aes Sedai in general, and her upbringing, which makes use of the OP anathama to her.

See also: Binding. Sammael brings Sevanna an oath rod in ACOS: "slimmer than her wrist, smooth, symbols on one end. Very coot to the touch. Caddor got it only 1 day previously (Oath Rod from the Tower??) An Oath Rod can also be used to release a woman from her oath, but Sammael says this is more painful than the binding. It only works on women who can channel (ACOS 631) Does not work on men who can channel - or so Sammael says. Sevanna intends to use the Oath Rod on 'Masia" and break her away from Caddor (ACOS 631) Of the Blood - Seanchan nobility. Presumably direct descendants of Luthair Paendrag.

Interestingly, while men are stronger in the OP than most women, one weakness of saidin is that men are limited in the size of a bridge of air they can constuct.

Mesaana thinks Semirhage wears black often because Lanfear wore white. Semirhage was once Aes Sedai, but she now hates them (presumably due to her sentence received as a result of her perversion, before she went over to the DO).

Loc 136-7) Shemerin - Yellow Aes Sedai in broken Tower. Weak, demoted to Accepted, later fugitive from the Tower, hunted by Elaida. Plump. She may be the runaway that Vandene and Adeleas are hunting in Ebou Dar. Shen an Calhar - (Old Tongue ) The popular name for Band of the Red Hand - Mat's Army. Named after the ancient army of Manetheren. Myrelle equates any connection with Mat's Band as treason - possible threat to Egwene? (ACOS 223) Some refer to the Band as "Dragonsworn", even though they have no connection with Masema.

May be able to change her appearance (Dragon 257) Silvie acts like an old family retainer and refers to herself as such. She seems to know Egwene. She is probably Lanfear, tries to grasp the ter'angreal from Egwene and hurts her in the process. Her name may be taken from Lanfear's favorite colors: silver and white Simaan - High Lord from Tear who is induced to treason by Balwer, who works for the Whitecloaks Simion - a servant at Harrilan's Leap, in Jarra. His brother Noam has become a wolf siswai'aman - Aiel warriors dedicated to Rand Siuan Sanche - Formerly the Amyrlin Seat. Friend of Moiraine, former Blue who weaves plots, uses people as tools.

She becomes head of the spy network for the Salidar Aes Sedai, is healed by Nynaeve, becomes low ranking Blue again. Min says she must remain near Gareth Brynne if she is to live. There is an indication that she and Gareth Brynne will somehow become involved with each other. Slayer - See Isam. Wolf name for Isam. There may be a particular significance to the fact that he kills wolves. (TSR 322). He also left tracks which Abell Cauthon saw, so he does exist outside the Wolf Dream (TSR 351).

Nym set to guard the Eye of the World by Solinda & others at the Breaking Sorda - A type of rat which lives in the Aiel Waste.

The Forsaken want one very badly, because it may contain items they need, like shocklances. The cache in Ebou Dar may contain a stasis box Stedding - the Ogier homelands which are scattered throughout the world. Something in the steddings sheilds those who can channel from the OP. Shadowspawn will not enter a stedding. Elder Hardan lists them for Rand in LoC: see appendices streith - transparent mist used to make clothing in the Age of Legends, worn by the Forsaken. Its color changes with the mood of the wearer. One of the characters remembers streith as "old fashioned" Strom - thug who works for Saml Hake Sulwin - Leader of a group which opposes Adan.

He is from Saldea. Reported to have made the sun stand still as he fought Bashere's army. Lews Therin's voice tells Rand to kill him. Later captured by Reds, escaped due to Liandrin. His escape is part of a Black Ajah plot. Davram Bashere is sent after him, but Rand says he will offer protection to men who can channel. Rand uses Taim to create an army of men who can channel. He is described a almost as strong as Rand. Liandrin meant to use him as a weapon. There is speculation that he may in fact be Demandred. The dragons on his coat sleeves are an unnatural blue, Rand notes (LOC 540) Taim defies Rand's order to stay out of Cairhein. Lews Therin tells Rand to kill Taim. Taim is willing to kill the Salidar Aes Sedai in Caemlyn for Rand. See also Maseem Tairens - People are dark when compared to Cairheinin and Andormen. Julin Sandar is described as dark, but Siuan Sanche, who is also from Tear, is not. Tairen lords wear silver-worked boots. Taisa - sul'dam who serves the Seanchan High Lady Suroth. Takima - Brown in Salidar Tallanvor, Martyn - Lieutenant of the Queen's Guard, loyal to Morgause, but wants her to be more than his queen An officer of the Queens Guards was present at the DF Ball, but when Tallanvor takes Mat before Morgase, there is every indication that he will kill Mat if he feels there is a threat to his queen. Also, he hates Lord Gaebril (Rahvin) The entry in the ACOS glossary says he loves Morgase more than life or honor. Presently with Morgase in exile. Talmanes - Carheinin nobleman loyal to Mat Talene Minly - Green in Broken Tower who was once a friend of Seaine. (ACOS 514) Golden haired and statuesque. Lovely, stood to depose Siuan. Tam al'Thor - Rand's adopted father. A skillful tracker and hunter. He farms near Emonds' Field. Fought in the Aiel War and gave Rand the sword.

Father to Galad by Tigraine, Elayne and Gawyn with Morgase. Died in a hunting accident. While Galad uses the House name of his father, Elayne and Gawyn use the House name of Morgase: Trakand. He meant to depose Morgase and make himself Andor's first king. Thom Merrilin may have had something to do with his death. Taringail is Moiraine's half brother. He was in line for the succession to Cairhein's throne, and through him Galad still has a claim to it. His relationship with Morgase was cold and distant FoH 252. Tarna Feir - Red, emmisary from Elaida to Salidar.

Led faction which tried to kill Rand in Tear, is induced to treason by Balwer, who works for the Whitecloaks. Hides in Haddon Mirk. He is married to High Lady Altima tel'aran'rhiod - the Dream World. Perrin calls it the Wolf Dream. Only wild creatures appear in TAR, not domestic animals, and only those humans who dream themselves there. Egwene is taught to use it by the Aiel Dreamwalkers. One does not have to be able to channel in order to Dreamwalk, (TSR 272), but the Dreamer enters the Dream fully, so her injuries are real upon awakening. Cannot be entered into from Rhuidan, but is the reality encountered by Aes Sedai during the Testing, and apparently by the Wise Ones who enter the Rings in Rhuidan. Rand also enters it during his battle with Rahvin and other Forsaken. To enter the Dream completely is to lose touch with the flesh, and the flesh dies (as Faile almost did when trapped by the hedgehog ter'angreal). Entering the Dream in the flesh is considered eveil, since one loses a part of ones' humanity each time it is done. Anyone who dies in TAR dies forever, cannot be born again. (TSR 323). The Heroes of the Wheel reside in TAR between lives, but there are presepts against talking with those who visit TAR. Birgitte breaks these rules. The rules for TAR are found in TSR 272. Tell Lewin - One of the Companions, Flann's nephew. Carries the Red Eagle banner of Manetherin for Perrin (ACOS 91) Tema - a subservient groom in Shienar Temaile Kinderode - Black Ajah, former Gray.

Once Royal Bard to Morgase and her lover, she exiled him because he disappeared without a word, then returned and told her she was a spoiled child (FoH 253). She never learned where he went. In TGH (324) Thom reveals that he knew Hurin the Sniffer before Rand met him. In "Winds Rising", (TSR 230) we see some of Thom's inner thoughts. See also Jain Farstrider. Tialin - Aiel Wise One Tiana Noselle - Gray, new Mistress of novices in Salidar Tigraine - The former daughter heir of the throne of Andor. She disappeared after her brother Luc vanished in the Blight. (The same Luc who later appears in Emond's Field) She then traveled to the Three Fold Land to become Shaiel, a Maiden of the Spear. She did this on the advice of the Aes Sedai Gitara Moroso, who fortold Rand's birth. She is Rand's real mother.

Mat rouses up and comments that there must be treasure inside. Tower is from the Age of Legends, stands 200 ft. high, with walls 40 ft thick. No door. (Eye 356). This may be the same tower used as an escape route by Isam when Perrin persues him. Hopper says it is dangerous for men, hard to leave. Doorway to Aelfin & Eelfin, the people on the other side of the doorframe ter'angreals according to Birgitte. The only way to win against them is to cheat. Birgitte knows the truth of the Tower of Ghrnjei, and her knowledge may be useful in later books (TSR 323).

Hates nobles in general, but is devoted to Elayne (ACOS 305, 449) Valinde Nathenos - White in Salidar, Illianer, emmisary to Rand Varadin - A rug seller who is an agent of Pedron Niall, set up as a wealthy merchant in Tanchico. He and Niall use a code which Balwer does not know, and Varadin does not work through Balwer. He advises Niall about the Seanchan, but Niall discounts the report as that of a madman. Varilin - Gray in Salidar who learns the making of ter'angreal from Elayne. As tall as Logain, slender, red hair Verin Mathwin - Brown Aes Sedai who studies Fain in Shienar, then travels to Emonds Field to assist in the battle. Moiraine suspects her motives. Verin, like Elaida, remembers the tie between Siuan Sanche and Moiraine as novices. Moiraine's thoughts reveal that Verin is a threat to her. (Hunt 94) Verin, like Moiraine has her own agenda. She tells a lie when she says Moiraine sent her after Rand. Moiraine had left before Verin. Aes Sedai are not supposed to be abel to lie. She gives the twisted ter'angreal to Egwene to explore tel'aran'rhiod without Siuan's consent or knowledge. She follows Rand, despite Siuans' orders that he be left alone. She is present when Alanna bonds Rand against his will. One of the 3 original Aes Sedai who guessed the truth about Rand and allowed him to go free anyway, she is the only one remaining who has not been neutralized in some way. Verin considers burning Corianin Nedeal's papers pertaining to the ter'angreal she studied. Why? (Also see FAQ) She is also present when Mat is Healed (TDR 162) In ACOS we hardly read anything at all about Verin, except that she is spending time in the Aiel tents.

They may also be one and the same. ACOS 358 White Lions - remnants of the Queens Guard who served under Gaebril, now turned brigands Weiramon, High Lord - Tairien, not smart.

They manipulate the winds on the Atha'an Miere ships. Some are present at the meeting at the end of ACOS. Mat notes that they seem "smug" in the presence of Aes Sedai. They are the reason AS are refused the Gift of Passage on Sea Folk vessels - they fear the AS will haul their girls off to the Tower. Wise Women - the women in Ebou Dar who can channel.

Rand gives the mare to her. The seiera is called a 'blue eye' in the Mountains of Mist, very hardy. Inns of Randland inns - play a central role in unifying the series.

This comment was made before Aviendha appeared, so we have to assume she could use it, as well. (TGH On The Scent 385) The statues were made to be used as weapons, with men and women channeling in unison. Together, they might be strong enough to Break the world again. Note that Tremalking and Tremondsien, where the 2 huge statues are located, both have the suffix "tre". Significance?

She often wondered whether Elaida had had any hand in the death of that one, Sierin Vayu; certainly the Black Ajah had not. Jarna had had Tamra Ospenya, the Amyrlin before Sierin, squeezed like a bunch of grapes -- obtaining little juice, as it turned out -- and made her appear to have died in her sleep, but Alviarin and the other twelve sisters of the Great Council had paid in pain before they could convince Ishamael they had no responsibility for it. know Marith Jaen, Tamra Ospenya, and Sierin Vayu ruled, but there were a couple of others.
