Adria. A slim contortionist in Valan Luca’s show. She worked with Mulaen and three others; they shared a virulently yellow wagon until Adria took up with up with Rumann, the sword-juggler. Her lips made Olver want to kiss them.

Aedmun Matherin. The High Seat of House Matherin in Andor and a supporter of Elayne.
Aedomon. An Ancient king of Safer who defeated a Manetheren army at Midean’s Ford. Legend had that he let the Manetheren go instead of killing them all; Mat’s memories revealed that he did let them go, and as soon as they were strung out, killed them. He was later killed by a young boy with a spear.
Aedwin Cole. A crewman for Bayle Domon on the Spray; he hailed from northern Altara or northern Murandy. At Falme, he started to cut the mooring cable with an axe during the uproar there while Domon was waiting for Egwene, Elayne, Nynaeve and Min. Domon grabbed him by the throat and stopped him.
Aeldene Stonebridge. An Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah and the rebel contingent, with a strength level of 27(15). Born in an Andoran mining town in the Mountains of Mist, she was a wilder who went to the Tower at age twenty-four and lied about her age. The lie was not discovered until she had been a novice for five years. She spent ten years as a novice and nine years as Accepted and was raised to the shawl at age forty-three. She was the head of the Blue Ajah’s eyes-and-ears network. When Aeldene joined with the rebels and took back the Blue network from Siuan, she was infuriated that Siuan had been using them, and even more infuriated that Siuan had revealed her position, especially to women not of the Blue. The reception she gave Siuan was more than rough; she could be heard shouting for a great distance. She was barely able to restrain herself from going for Siuan’s throat.
Aeldra. A woman of Tanchico, never seen, who was called to by a man who had dreamed himself into Tel’aran’rhiod.
Aeldra Najaf. A Domani Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. Lean, with coppery skin and short white hair, she was a kindly woman in many ways. Aeldra succeeded Gitara Moroso as Keeper of the Chronicles for Tamra Ospenya. She was the sixth person to welcome Moiraine and Siuan to the Blue Ajah and claimed a pie from each; because the two were such bad cooks, she had to be Healed after eating their pies.
Aeldrine. The mother of Beonin Marinye. She was a merchant in Tanchico.
Aelfinn. A race of beings which possessed souls and were largely human in appearance but with snake-like characteristics. They were reputed to answer three questions truly. Whatever the question, their answers were always correct, if frequently given in forms that were not clear. Questions concerning the Shadow could be extremely dangerous. Their actual location, a parallel world, was unknown, but they could be visited by passing through a ter’angreal, once a possession of Mayene but in recent years held in the Stone of Tear. They could also be reached by entering the Tower of Ghenjei. The Aelfinn spoke a harsh dialect of the Old Tongue, mentioned treaties and agreements, and asked if those entering carried iron, instruments of music, or devices that could make fire. They have existed as long as the Wheel. See also Eelfinn

Aeman Senhold. A nobleman who was the leader of the Amadician contingent at the Battle of the Shining Walls.
Aemin. A farrier in Perrin’s camp in Ghealdan. He had graying hair, broad shoulders and thick arms, and seemed nearly as wide as he was tall, though since he was a Cairhienin, that was not very tall.
Aemlyn Carand. The plump High Seat of House Carand, a major House in Andor. Her sigil was three golden arrows, points upward, the center arrow slightly raised, on a field of red. Her husband was Lord Culhan; the two were nearly as powerful as Pelivar. She supported Morgase in her drive for the throne. Under Rahvin’s influence, Morgase exiled her from Caemlyn. Aemlyn, Pelivar and Culhan were among the nobles who confronted the rebel Aes Sedai on the ice near the Murandy-Andor border. After Elayne took Caemlyn, Aemlyn stood for Trakand.
Aemon al Caar al Thorin. The last King of Manetheren. His wife was Eldrene, known as Ellisande, the Rose of the Sun. King Aemon and his men, after a forced march from victory at the Battle of Bekkar, known as the Field of Blood, held off overwhelming numbers of Trollocs and Shadowspawn for over ten days while awaiting promised reinforcements that never came. The King’s battle cry, “Carai an Ellisande!, For the honor of the Rose of the Sun!,” was said to echo over the land until Queen Eldrene could hear it from the city. Eventually Aemon and his armies were killed. It was said that Queen Eldrene’s heart broke the moment Aemon died. An Aes Sedai, she reached out to the True Source to hunt down the victors and sent balefire to consume the Dreadlords, Myrddraal and Darkfriends where they stood. That effort required more Power than anyone could wield unaided, and she and the city of Manetheren died in flames.
Aeric Botteger. A man of the Two Rivers who appeared in Nynaeve’s test for the shawl.
Aeron. A respected Wise One of the Black Water sept of the Nakai Aiel who could not channel. She had graying hair and sky-blue eyes. Her face was very tanned, just short of being leathery. Her apprentice was Estair. She was fairly easygoing for a Wise One; Egwene thought of her as a pleasant, smiling woman with never a cross word. She, along with Colinda and Edarra, was sent to the Royal Library in Cairhien because Nesune Bihara, a Brown who was part of the White Tower embassy to Rand, was seeking information there on the seals. Aeron convinced three Maidens to sneak into Lady Arilyn’s palace to spy on the White Tower embassy, who were staying there; the Maidens were caught and beaten, and Aeron was chastised by the other Wise Ones. After Rand had been kidnapped and freed, Aeron felt the Aes Sedai captured at Dumai’s Wells were too dangerous to keep alive. She was quite hard on Beldeine, among others.
