History[]
Season 3[]
Aviendha asks leave to enter Rhuidean when she begins her training with the Wise Ones. Moiraine Damodred is also allowed to enter the rings, despite neither being a Wise One nor an Aiel. Melaine is aware that she would have died if she did not come to the Aiel Waste.[1] Aviendha enters the rings first. Moiraine finds her and follows Moiraine's visions:
- Moiraine is a fisherwoman in Tear and asks a lover, presumably Siuan Sanche, what is wrong.

- Moiraine releases Lan from his bond.
- Moiraine bonds with Rand and makes him her Warder.
- Lan is on fire and dies. Moiraine extinguishes him and hears a woman cackling, presumably Lanfear.
