Alivia. A damane from Seanchan who was captured by Rand’s army. Though she looked in her forties, she had been damane for four hundred years, and was very strong in the Power: her strength level was 1(+12), the top level for women. Alivia had been collared at thirteen or fourteen. She had hawk-like blue eyes with fine lines at the corners, and golden yellow hair with a few threads of white. She was a handsome woman rather than beautiful, with a husky, throaty voice that men found appealing. She was 5'5" tall, of medium build and filled with intensity; she practically bristled with it. Many people found her intimidating, but Sharina had her measure, and became her friend. She was sent to Elayne in Caemlyn, and her collar was removed. She became very loyal to Rand, whom she considered as having given her her freedom. She appointed herself Rand’s protector, told him about the Seanchan and how their military operated, and had a short way with those she considered Rand’s enemies. Once she had come around to embracing her freedom, Alivia said that she wanted to kill all the sul’dam. Slowly. She insisted on going with Nynaeve and Lan when they accompanied Rand. She had no particular interest in being Aes Sedai, and would be surprised to learn that she had no choice, under the agreement that would be made between the Aes Sedai and the Kin. She was just about completely ignorant of men, and sexual matters. Min had a viewing showing that Alivia would help Rand die, and Min disliked her because of it. Alivia gathered supplies for Rand’s final escape after the Last Battle, thus fulfilling Min’s viewing.
Alix. A Warder who lost his Aes Sedai in the Last Battle and joined Galad to fight on and avenge her.

Alkindar. A tiny walled town on the west bank of the River Eldar in Altara. Alkindar was made up of tile-roofed stone buildings with half a dozen stone docks. A ferry ran from here to Coramen on the other side of the Eldar; it was an important crossing. The Seanchan had a camp outside the town. Luca’s show took the ferry across the river from Alkindar to Coramen.
Alkohima, Tamore. A Domani seamstress in Tar Valon from whom Moiraine and Siuan ordered dresses.
All Summers. A prosperous neighborhood in the city of Tear which was stricken by a bubble of evil.
Alliandre Maritha Kigarin. The Queen of Ghealdan, Blessed of the Light, Defender of Garen’s Wall and a dozen more titles. Her sign was the Wolfhound, a running dog with a crested ridge of black hair down its back. On her banner, the dog was dark golden except for the ridge of hair, on a red field. She was born in 972 NE. About 5'4" tall, she had dark hair almost to her waist. She was quite lovely despite a nose perhaps too long for beauty. She had an aloof air and bore herself with stately reserve and grace. Alliandre was somewhat under the Crown High Council’s collective thumb, especially the highest-ranking noble. They removed her predecessors in one way or another, and put her on the throne. They stood aside for some time because she seemed to have handled the Prophet well, or at least kept his depredations to a minimum. She learned of the fall of Amador, the Seanchan’s taking of Ebou Dar, and that Rand conquered Illian, all by spreading rumors and by reports from merchants, who learned by pigeon. Consequently, she swore allegiance to Perrin. She was captured by the Shaido and later freed by Perrin. Alliandre rode with her forces in the Last Battle.
Allin. A dark-haired Andorman, with a half-beard shaved at the sides, who served under Uno in the Last Battle.

Almen Bunt. An old Andoran farmer. He had a well-wrinkled, leathery face, half his teeth were missing, and his hands were gnarled, but his old man’s voice was strong, as was his body. Bunt met Rand and Mat outside The Goose and Crown and gave them a ride to Caemlyn. He traveled at night to avoid the merchants’ dust. He went to Caemlyn, which he thought was the grandest city there was, to see Logain, but stayed to support Morgase. When Morgase was under Rahvin’s influence, Bunt got into trouble for being a good Queen’s man, and left Caemlyn and went to his sister’s farm to help with her orchards after her husband died. He saw Rand when Rand came down from Dragonmount. Bunt went with other farmers to Merrilor and joined in the Last Battle.
Almindhra. The First Counselor of Tova, a nation that arose after the Trolloc Wars, located at the same site as Cairhien. Almindhra was one of three who sent armies into Shandalle against Artur Hawkwing in FY 943.
Almizar. A prosperous town in Amadicia, a hundred miles southwest of Amador. It was set in farm country with stone-walled pastures and thatch-roofed stone houses. Six tall watchtowers sat on its perimeter, but the town had no wall. The streets were paved with granite blocks, and lined with solid buildings of brick or stone, some gray, some black, many three or four stories high and most roofed in dark slate, the rest in thatch. Perrin and Tylee negotiated the acquisition of all the forkroot being cultivated here by the Seanchan. This was also where a Seanchan clerk died, filled with beetles; and where Perrin was almost assassinated by arrows.
Almoren. One of the Ten Nations. Its capital was Al’cair’rahienallen, later known as Cairhien; another city was Jennshain. Its king was Coerid Nosar at the signing of the Compact.
