Rand — aliases: the Dragon Reborn, Lord Dragon
Rand emerges from Moiraine’s hut to accept the devotion of his Shienaran followers before disappearing into the trees. He later retreats to a secluded vale where he confesses his fear of Saidin’s taint and his duty to the Last Battle, accidentally unleashing a massive earth tremor through his power before brooding alone.
