Tai’daishar – “Lord of Glory in the Old Tongue. Rand’s warhorse, purchased from Kiruna (ACOS 531)

Taim, Mazrim – False Dragon still on the loose who can channel and is very strong. The Black Ajah has plans to set him up as the Dragon against Rand. He is from Saldaea. 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 to bring down Siuan Sanche. Davram Bashere is sent after him, but Rand says he will offer protection to men who can channel. This is his amnesty. Rand uses Taim to create an army of men who can channel, known as Asha’man. He is described as almost as strong as Rand. Liandrin meant to use him as a weapon. He taught Rand how not to feel heat or cold, but it is nothing to do with the One Power. It is a mental trick. There is speculation that he may in fact be Demandred, due to their descriptions being alike (hawk-nosed) and their common non-proficiency with swords. There are many reasons that people think they might be the same person. Then again, there are reasons why he may not. (We’ll find out eventually won’t we!) The dragons on his coat sleeves are an unnatural blue, Rand notes (LOC 540). Taim defies Rand’s order to stay out of Cairhien. 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 Cairhienin and Andormen. Juilin 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

Talaan din Gelyn – Apprentice Windfinder of the Atha’an Miere. Daughter of Caire din Gelyn Running Wave who headed the circle working with the Bowl of the Winds. Talaan was also part of the circle. She is very close to Nynaeve in strength in the One Power.

Tallanvor, Martyn – Lieutenant of the Queen’s Guard, loyal to Morgase, but wants her to be more than his queen. An officer of the Queens Guards was present at the Darkfriend 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 – Carhienin 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 skilful tracker and hunter. He farms near Emonds’ Field. Fought in the Aiel War and gave Rand his heron-marked sword. Served in Whitecloak War and rose to Second Captain of the Companions. May have acquired the Heron Mark Sword when he rescued Mattin Stepaneos from the Whitecloaks. Although, according to Moiraine, he became a blademaster.

ta’maral’ailen – (Old Tongue) The web of destiny

tama’t – Aiel name for tomatoes

Tammuz – Illuminator. Knows Aludra. He was present the night in Cairhien when the fireworks in King Galladrian’s were set off by Rand.

Tamra Ospenya – the Amyrlin before Sierin Vayu, who was raised to Amyrlin shortly after Rand’s birth. She died in her sleep and the Forsaken thought the Black Ajah had done her in. Alviarin and others in the Black Ajah were tortured by the Forsaken before it was determined they had no hand in Tamra’s death (ACOS prologue)

Tamyrlin – Referred to in the Prologue of The Eye of the World. In the Age of Legends, the Tamyrlin is the male Head of the Servants (or Aes Sedai–Servants of All).  It seems that “Amyrlin” is an equivalent title. At one point, Lews Therin held this position before the Breaking.

Taraboners – People from Tarabon. Call themselves the Tree of Man, and claim descent from rulers and nobles in the Age of Legends. (see Dark Prophecy, TGH, Blood Calls Blood )

Taric – Youngest great-son of Amaryn, who is Sorilea’s greatdaughter. Sorilea thinks that he will be a clan-chief one day, and that Egwene should marry him.

Taringail – House Damodred, Cairhienin. Married to 1) Tigraine of Andor, and after her disappearance, 2) Morgase. 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 Cairhien’s throne, and through him Galad still has a claim to it. His relationship with Morgase was cold and distant FoH 252.

Telaisien – Seventh Queen of Andor, FY 1085 – FY 1103

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 Rhuidean, but is the reality encountered by Aes Sedai during the Testing, and apparently by the Wise Ones who enter the Rings in Rhuidean. 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 evil, since one loses a part of ones’ humanity each time it is done. Anyone who dies in TAR dies forever, cannot be born again as another person, which the Wheel of Time apparently does. (TSR 323). The Heroes of the Wheel reside in TAR between lives, but there are precepts against talking with those who visit TAR. Birgitte breaks these rules. Some of the rules for TAR are found in TSR 272.

Tell Lewin – One of the Companions, Flann’s nephew. Carries the Red Eagle banner of Manetheren for Perrin (ACOS 91)

Tries to marry her Uncle Kalyan off to Ethenielle, Queen of Kandor.

She is sent to Ebou Dar on Elaida’s whim. Wears black all over, looks like an old bramble. Habitual scowl. She grinds down whatever is in her path and sees all men as rabid wolves (ACOS 296, 312) She appears to be on Elayne and Nynaeve’s side in PoD, but they think it is a ploy of Elaida’s.

Her block was men. (LoC 245) A Domani with coppery skin. Is raised with Nynaeve & others by decree in Salidar, but is not actually Aes Sedai until they swear the Oaths.

Thervara – Shaido Aiel Wise One, close to Sevanna

Thomdril (Thom) Merrilin – a gleeman who is much more than a gleeman. Min’s visions concerning him are: a man (not Thom) juggling fire, and the White Tower. Moiraine’s letter to him contains the names of the Reds involved in Owyn’s death. 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, but is still angry with him. In TGH (385) Thom reveals that he knew Hurin, the Sniffer, from Shienar, before Rand met him. In “Winds Rising”, (TSR 317) we see some of Thom’s inner thoughts. See also Jain Farstrider.

Tialin – Aiel Wise One. Has red hair and is one of the Wise Ones in the camp in Cairhien looking after the da’tsang Aes Sedai. She tells Verin that Katerine Alruddin, a da’tsang of the Red Ajah, escaped from the camp.

(The same Luc who later appears in Emond’s Field) She travelled 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 foretold Rand’s birth. She is Rand’s biological mother.  She dies on the slopes of Dragonmount after giving birth to Rand. Elaida’s foretelling is right, the key to the world lies with the royal line of Andor, through Tigraine.

She and two other Red Sitters, Lirene and Tatsuama, had gone into a “voluntary” retreat from the Tower. Toveine had only hardened in her solitary exile. (ACoS Prologue) She has been ordered to eliminate the Black Tower, and is abandoned to her fate when Elaida learns the true numbers of the Asha’man, on Alviarin’s advice (ACOS 508)

Tower of Ghenjei - Rand sees it from the Arinelle River. 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 pursues 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’angreal according to Birgitte. The only way to win against them is to cheat. Birgitte knows the truth of the Tower of Ghenjei, and her knowledge may be useful in later books (TSR 323). Hopper says the Tower is evil, everybody knows this (TSR 323)

Causes black flecks called saa to float in front of the eyes. Far more addictive than the One Power. (ACOS 412)
