p. 167—False

or AB.
- al Caar al Thorin, Aemon,
p. 110—King of Manetheren during the last part
of the Trolloc Wars, until the fall of his country. He was so fearless

- al'Caar, Paet,
p. 109 [9]—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. His son, Wil, had his leg
broken in that attack and was Healed by Moiraine, so
Paet was less fervent in his accusations.

the Trolloc attack, and was Healed by Moiraine.

p. [14]—Lean old
man from Emond's Field with wispy white hair. As old or older than
Master Cole, he is unable to walk without the
assistance of a cane. He is Bili al'Dai's
grandfather. Despite his advanced years, his eyes remain clear and
sharp, as does his mind. 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.
- al'Dai, Bili,
p. [14]—Young man from Emond's Field.
He is Master al'Dai's grandson.
See also
al'Dai, Bili.
- al'Donel, Mistress,
p. 10—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.
- al'Meara, Nynaeve,
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.
- al'Seen, Wil,
p. 311 [9]—Young man
from Deven Ride—he actually lives on a farm between Deven Ride
and Emond's Field. Egwene thinks his ears look
funny, but many of the other girls in the village think Wil is quite
pretty. As a teen, he always had girls staring at him and whispering
behind his back. He courted every girl, and managed to convince all of
them that he was just being polite to the others.
- al'Thor, Kari,
p. 68—Rand's mother. She died about fifteen years
ago, when Rand was five. His only memory of her was that she had gentle
hands and a soft voice. Tam met her when he left Emond's Field; they
were married, and returned later with a child.
See also
al'Thor, Rand;
al'Thor, Tamlin.
- al'Thor, Rand,
p. 1 [4]—Shepherd from
the Two Rivers. He is the second tallest boy in Emond's Field, and may
soon be taller than his friend Perrin as well.
He has grey eyes and reddish hair, both of which are unheard of in the
Two Rivers. His mother died when Rand was five;
Egwene thinks he envies boys that have mothers.
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.

- al'Thor, Tamlin (Tam),
p. 2 [13]—Rand's father, a shepherd in the Two Rivers.
He has a thick, broad chest and a broad face, gray hair with black
streaks in it. His cheeks have been roughened by the sun. He is a
solid man. Keeping his word is important to him. When Tam was young,
he left the Two Rivers to see the outside world, something which is
extremely rare in the Two Rivers. While there he acquired a sword, and
married Kari, a woman from Caemlyn. Since Kari's
death fifteen years ago, Tam has raised Rand himself. Since Tam has
been alone and without a wife for so long, many women in Emond's Field
have been trying to find a match for him recently. They've also started
to think about who would be good for his son as well. Tam is very
quiet, and keeps largely to himself, but almost everyone in the Two
Rivers likes him.

al'Thor, Kari;

p. 2—Rand's father, a shepherd in the Two Rivers.

- al'Vere, Alene,
p. [7]—Second oldest
of five daughters of Marin and
Bran al'Vere of Emond's Field.
She loves to read, and ignores
Egwene unless Egwene is presently reading a book
that she herself wants to read—in this case, she usually takes it
and proclaims it to be much too “complex” for Egwene to
understand.

al'Vere, Brandelwyn;
al'Vere, Egwene;
al'Vere, Elisa;
al'Vere, Loise;

- al'Vere, Berowyn,
p. [3]—Oldest of
the five daughters of Bran and
Marin al'Vere; Egwene's
oldest sister. She has been allowed to wear her hair in a braid, the
Two Rivers symbol of adulthood for women, since she was sixteen years
old. Berowyn was married, but her husband and her newborn child
died in the epidemic of breakbone fever that struck the village;
the same epidemic threatened Egwene's life as well.
She has since treated Egwene as though she were Berowyn's own child,
mooning over her as if she were the last thing left in her life.

- al'Vere, Brandelwyn (Bran),
p. 7 [12]—Mayor of Emond's Field and innkeeper of the
Winespring Inn. He is the father of five girls, including

about double of anyone else, and a fringe of thinning gray hair.
He is known around town as being very stubborn,
and not someone to be trifled with.

- al'Vere, Egwene,
p. 5 [1]—A nine-year-old girl from Emond's Field.
She is the daughter of Bran, the Mayor
of Emond's Field, and his wife Marin.
Egwene has four older sisters;
Berowyn,
Alene,
Elisa, and
Loise;
and resents them at times for treating her as the baby of the family.
Egwene dislikes dogs, and is not considered big for her age.
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. She
and Rand have been all but Promised to each other since
she was nine; this makes him uncomfortable. Nynaeve
discovered that Egwene has the ability to Listen to the Wind, a Talent
that all Wisdoms claim to possess but few actually do.

- al'Vere, Elisa,
p. [8]—Third oldest
of five daughters of Marin and Bran
al'Vere of Emond's Field. She is eighteen. She wears her hair
to her waist, tied with a blue kerchief—the Women's Circle has not
yet granted her the privilege of wearing it braided.
She is one year older than Nynaeve.
She is very fond of quotations; Egwene finds in annoying when they get
stuck in her head.

daughters of Marin and Bran al'Vere,

pastimes.

parents and perhaps Rand's father thought this, but not that
everyone thought so….

p. 4 [4]—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.

Egwene that his two younger sisters enjoy the role of tattletale.

girl of eleven from Emond's Field. Egwene

encounter in Market Sheran.

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. He once named the Dark One, but when ill fortune
struck his crops for months afterwards, he scowled at anyone (such as
Mat) who attempted to get him to do so again.

and does not seem to be bothered by the fact that many girls as many as
four years her junior are considered grown women while she is not.
- Coplin, Dag,
p. [6]—Old man from
Emond's Field. His hair is gray, and is not washed all that often, if
at all. His skin is very wrinkled with age.

with no further respect involved.
Not to be confused with his grandson, who has the same name.
