Description

Son of Morgase Trakand, Gawyn is also the First Prince of the Sword and has a duty to protect his sister Elayne. Formerly of the Younglings at the White Tower, he slew Hammar during Elaida's coup and became in charge of the Younglings under Elaida's command. He believed that Morgase was dead at the hand of Rand al'Thor, but he has since been told that Rand did not commit the deed. Unfortunately, while he trusts his source, he still believes Rand is a bad man.

He abandoned the Younglings after losing faith in Elaida's command and assisted Gareth Bryne and the rebels in retaking the Tower. He did not believe that Egwene was the Amyrlin Seat until she actually took the Oath in the Tower.

There seem to be some time discrepancies surrounding the incident where Elayne and company Traveled to the Kin Farm. Did the gateway Aviendha opened to the countryside near the Kin Farm at the beginning of The Path of Daggers allow Elayne's party to Travel forward or backward in time? RAFO	View More Details
What is going to happen with Elayne, Min, Rand and Aviendha in their relationship? Will they all get along? "Read and find out!" he chuckled richly. ;)	View More Details
In [Crossroads of Twilight Ch. 12] Elayne mentioned that Galad fancied Nynaeve or had for a time. Did I miss something? Galad did have a certain interest in Nynaeve early on. As sometimes happens, that interest has shifted. He is obviously not attracted to Nynaeve anymore.	View More Details
I was wondering, can you talk about how your lead character would have not one but three true loves, and how does your wife feel about that? Um, when I was much younger, before I met Harriet, I had two girlfriends simultaneously, who arranged my dating schedule between them, who was going to date me on which night. They chipped in together to buy me birthday presents, Christmas presents. You know, they just sort of shared me between them, you know. And they had been friends before, and I am not quite sure whether or not they made the decision they were both going to date me or not, on their own, before they first met me, it just came about. But I figured if I could manage two, surely Rand could manage three. Besides there are mythological reasons to have these three women involved with him. As far as my view on this, with Harriet, I have many more than three women, there are so many facets to her personality she quite often makes me dizzy, I am quite satisfied there. About how she feels about this, I suspect you want her answer, I seem to remember her saying to me, you do remember this is fantasy right? And I think it was an accident she was holding a carving knife to me throat, just coincidence, but I am not sure. Harriet: In four short words, I am not for it. Four and a half words.

When did [Galad] have the attraction [to Nynaeve]? In the beginning, when he goes to Nynaeve's room. At that time he was interested in her. And Elayne still thinks he is.	View More Details
But if [Rand] finds, because Galad is his half brother and also Elayne's half brother, won't he find anything wrong with that? No. The way the mother-father relationship works is different. He has a blood relationship to Galad. He has no blood relationship to Elayne. None. At least not close enough to be counted by anybody except by how many lines of connection you have to the family of Andor.	View More Details
What advice would you give Rand concerning his relationship with Aviendha, Min, and Elayne? Step very carefully. It’s hard enough for a man to deal with one woman at a time, since we aren’t really equipped mentally to keep up without a lot of effort. A man could get trampled very easily trying to keep up with three, not least because they have their own relationship with one another, and no matter what he does, he will not ever in a million years be able to understand that, or be able to avoid cutting his own throat on it. Luckily for him, I do, and I can. For him, anyway.	View More Details
Does Mat's amulet work against the male side of the Power, and if so, will Elayne's research of it develop into something that can be used in the conflict between Aes Sedai? RAFO.	View More Details
When Birgitte says she remembers a tale of a female Warder after being bonded to Elayne, does she remember herself? RAFO	View More Details
The reason that Morgase got her throne was because she was the most closely related to Tigraine? That's part of it. You gotta be closely related to put in a claim. After that it becomes political. In a way almost like... More like a republic than a democracy in that the electorate is limited. And in this case, the electorate is limited to the nobles. How many nobles can you get to support you. And she was able to get enough, finally, after something very close to a civil war to gain the throne.	View More Details
What exactly is the "hot" ter'angreal played with so enthusiastically by Elayne and when will we see it actually put into use? Read and find out, Pam. You're experienced enough at this to know that I wouldn't give that answer, I think!	View More Details
Will we ever find out what happened when Elayne went through the arches? Probably not; maybe, but probably not.	View More Details
In Lord of Chaos when Elayne told Rand that Morgase and Tigraine weren't cousins, Rand felt really relieved. Was it because he thought there was something wrong having a relationship with his second cousin? Well he's not sure exactly how close his relationship to Elayne might be, how close his blood relationship might be. That's what he wanted to find out. He's in love with her and he'd really like to get it on with her but on the other end, he thinks he's gotta stay away from her to keep her safe. And on top of that, if she comes to stay, and god he might be related to her, and you know, how close is he? What is the relationship? He doesn't know. For all he knows there might be some way that he's as good as her brother. He's gotta find out. But he's gotta find out without letting anybody know why he wants to find out or even really that he is trying to find out.	View More Details
