She seemed upset that her mother and father were detaining her at the forge when she could have been playing with her friends—she will not be asked to carry water for another year.

He is also quite quick with the shears, almost as fast as Tam al’Thor and faster than everyone else. See also al’Dai, Bili.
• Mistress al’Donel, p. 10 (11)—Woman from Emond’s Field. She demanded that Bran al’Vere fix the problem that no storks were nesting on the rooftops this spring. He honestly does not know what she would have him do.

• Alpert Mull, p. 416 (443)—Stolid man with a square face and square, worn hands. His cows have gone dry, his chickens have stopped laying eggs, and his pastures have gone barren. He wonders whether his land will even grow hay this year, much less a decent crop. He gave Rand and Mat a ride for a segment of their trip between Four Kings and Caemlyn.

He is of an age with Haral Luhhan, but he looks as though he is about ten years older due to his hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. Egwene encountered him with the Wisdom after he sliced open his leg due to being drunk while trying to shear sheep. It is later revealed that he does not believe in the Dark One, Darkfriends, Aes Sedai, or any of the other stories.

She was furious that her husband was not chosen as king of Malkier over her brother-in-law Akir; she dared her husband to march his men to Shayol Ghul itself.

She loves her village and its customs, but she is beginning to wonder what the world outside it is like. After reaching the age of eighteen, Egwene earns the right to wear her hair in a braid for the first time, the Two Rivers symbol of womanhood. She has large brown eyes.

He has two younger sisters, Bodewhin and Eldrin. As a twenty year-old, Mat has grown to be one of the tallest men in the Two Rivers. He is still known for his practical jokes and other mischief; whenever something goes wrong in Emond’s Field, Mat is the one everyone looks to first.

• Mordeth, p. 237 (250)—Sleek, overfed man with drooping eyelids. He is short and completely bald. Rand, Mat, and Perrin encountered him in Aridhol when they went off to see the city.

He ordered the death of Caar, heir to the throne of Manetheren, when he came to Aridhol in an attempt to bring it back to the Second Covenant. His spirit has been trapped inside the walls of Aridhol ever since, and it is said that if he ever accompanies anyone to the city walls, he will be able to consume that person’s soul and escape.

• Natti Cauthon, p. [12]—Woman from Emond’s Field, mother of Mat. She is always calm and collected, which Egwene figures is necessary for someone with a son like Mat. She always seems to know about Mat’s escapades; Mat is not sure how she always knows, but it is obvious to Egwene that his two younger sisters enjoy the role of tattletale. See also Cauthon, Abell; Cauthon, Bodewhin; Cauthon, Eldrin; Cauthon, Matrim.
• Nynaeve al’Meara, p. 7 [7]—Young woman from Emond’s Field. She has brown hair and eyes, and is quite slender. She has been studying under Doral Barran, the Wisdom of Emond’s Field, for about three years. Many people in the village think she is too young to be apprenticed to a Wisdom, and that Mistress Barran should have chosen someone years older when Nynaeve’s predecessor died mysteriously. Nynaeve is a very quick learner, and has been allowed to braid her hair for a year now. She has developed the ability to sense Egwene’s presence without seeing her since the end of the breakbone fever epidemic. Mistress Barran seems to have caught on to some of Nynaeve’s abilities—she seemed disappointed that the wound Nynaeve was bandaging did not seem more healed than it was when she started. After Mistress Barran’s death, Nynaeve herself became the Wisdom. Her adult height is about as tall as Mat’s shoulder. Many people still think Nynaeve is too young to be the Wisdom; however, mentioning this to her is a good way to get whacked by the stick she carries.

  O

• Oren Dautry, p. 57 (61)—Nearest neighbor to the al’Thor farm. He is a shameless borrower. Tam thinks he may have some livestock he is willing to part with.
• Owyn Merrilin, p. 332 (353)—Thom’s nephew, his brother’s only son. Thom left his position as Court-bard in the Royal Court of Andor, where he was known from Tear to Maradon as one of the best bards, to help Owyn with some trouble he had with Aes Sedai. See also Merrilin, Thomdril.

  P

• Padan Fain, p. 27 (29)—Pale skinny peddler with gangly arms and a huge beak of a nose that comes to Emond’s Field about once a year.

• Paet al’Caar, p. 109 [9] (117)—Shepherd from near Emond’s Field. He is in town to help with shearing. Years later, he was among those that supported Hari Coplin in his accusations that Moiraine brought the Trollocs to Emond’s Field on Winternight.

• Perrin Aybara, p. 4 [4] (5)—A boy of about thirteen years of age from Emond’s field. He is one of the tallest boys in Emond’s Field, even taller than Rand, one of his two best friends (though since Rand is not yet finished growing, it is possible he will catch Perrin eventually). He is also good friends with Mat Cauthon, who often gets Perrin and Rand into trouble. He has curly hair, and is very stocky and generally big. He is very shy and laughs seldomly; Egwene perceives him to be dense, though she is starting to realize he may simply be overly contemplative and careful. His parents recently arranged to have him apprenticed to Haral Luhhan, the blacksmith of Emond’s Field. Perrin has two younger sisters, Adora and Deselle (eight and three, respectively) and one younger brother, Paetram, who is an infant. As an adult, Perrin ended up about half a head shorter than Rand, and also a fair bit shorter than Mat as well. He is still larger of build than both of them, however, which works well for a blacksmith. See also al’Thor, Rand; Aybara, Adora; Aybara, Con; Aybara, Deselle; Aybara, Joslyn; Aybara, Paetram; Cauthon, Matrim; Luhhan, Haral.

Rand is good friends with Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara. As a twenty year-old, Rand is about a head taller than Perrin, and taller than Mat as well. Rand and the Mayor’s daughter, Egwene, have been all but Promised to each other since they were both young; this is often the subject of ridicule by Mat and Perrin.
