Nynaeve al'Meara followed them after finding them gone, wanting to ensure the four returned safely.Īlong the way, Moiraine reveals to Egwene and Nynaeve can channel and they are recruited to be Aes Sedai, and together the group travel to the Eye of the World to try and destroy the evil forces working against them. Help was found for his father, but then the town's mysterious visitor, an Aes Sedai by the name of Moiraine and her Warder, Lan, declared that the Trollocs were after Rand and his two friends, Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, and spirited them out of the town along with a visiting gleeman by the name of Thom Merrilin and Egwene. Convinced his father was only delirious, Rand pressed on, only to find the town had gone up almost entirely in flames when he reached it. His father was seriously hurt and, as Rand struggled to get him to safety in the town, Tam began raving in his fever, and declared that he hand found Rand as a baby after a battle on the side of a mountain. Then, on Winternight, 998 NE, Two Rivers was attacked by Trollocs, beasts that no one believed to be real. He lived with his father until he was about 20 years old, and was looking forward to his life as a shepherd and soon-to-be husband to Egwene al'Vere, the daughter of the mayor of Emond's Field. He was raised believing this man to be his father, and Kari al'Thor to be his long-dead mother. Rand was raised by Tam al'Thor, a shepherd and farmer from the Two Rivers. He torments himself over the death of every woman because of him, even Aiel Far Dareis Mai. This is a result of his upbringing in a society that would never harm a woman, and because of his refusal to hurt women he has caused himself many unnecessary problems, most caused by the Forsaken Lanfear, who ended up killing his "mentor", Moiraine Damodred Aes Sedai. Another aspect that can be seen as a "weakness" is that he will not purposely hurt a woman. As such he is very vulnerable if hurt there. Both are on his side, and both were caused by the Forsaken, and no amount of Healing has ever had an effect on them. Weaknesses: Rand has received two wounds in his lifetime that will not heal.As such, he is a powerful fighter all around. Before being sucked into the house he received training from Blademasters on how to use a sword, and Aiel warriors on how to fight with the spear and with his bare hands. He is potentially the most powerful channeler of saidin in the world and shows particular deftness when weaving Fire. Strengths: Rand is the Dragon Reborn, ordained by the Prophecies of the Dragon to both save the world and destroy it. ![]() He has no qualms about killing men, but will do his best to leave a woman unharmed, which has caused him many unnecessary problems. He can become angry quickly, a result of the taint on saidin, but is also often very detached from his emotions. He is mulishly stubborn, and if someone goads him he will dig his heels in and resist, even if they are talking sense. Personality: Rand is very serious, having his heart hardened through all the trials he has been through.
