Adeleas is the sister of Vandene and a member of the Brown Ajah. After the Tower split, Adeleas sided with the rebels. She is Vandene's sister and the two look nearly identical. She traveled with Elayne and Nynaeve to Ebou Dar, but was killed by an unknown assailant. She and Ispan were poisoned with crimsonthorn root.

I asked why Elayne thought even a Forsaken couldn't break the shield Adeleas and Vandene were holding on Ispan, expecting the
answer that Elayne is clue-impaired.
The correct answer is that holding a shield on someone depends not only on relative strength and fatigue, but also on whether the shield is held by channelers of the same sex as the victim. Thus two women (Adeleas and Vandene on Ispan, or Ispan and Falion on Nynaeve in A Crown of Swords) can hold another woman, but three women just get severed if they try to shield Rand. As a curiosity, it is also possible for multiple people to hold a shield without linking, but this is less strong and less precise, producing basically a layered shield. |
