Da'covale

***Da'covale*** (Old Tongue for *person who is property*) is the Seanchan term for enslaved people. The term is used for the many non-channelers who are enslaved by the Seanchan, who are distinct from the channeler *damane*.

## Overview

The *da'covale* mainly perform the role of servants in the households of wealthy masters, such as the Blood. They can be presented to people as gifts.

Non-channeler opponents who have been defeated by the Seanchan in battle may be reduced to *da'covale*, even if they choose to swear oaths of allegiance to the empire upon their defeat. This appears to be mostly a fate reserved for enemy warriors, with civilians of occupied territories largely remaining free people.

The Seanchan appear to entirely trust *da'covale* from their lands, as their society has long been extremely hierarchical. This even extends to assuming that newly enslaved *da'covale* from the Westlands will have respect for their authority; Loial and Ingtar Shinowa note that it is very easy for them to access High Lord Turak's collection of treasured.

They wear a distinct type of dress. *Da'covale* can be identified by light green and white robes, as well as extensive facial jewelry.

## History

### Season 2

Loial and Ingtar Shinowa are enslaved by High Lady Suroth when they surrender to her at Atuan's Mill. They are presented to High Lord Turak as gifts upon her return to Falme.

High Lady Suroth demands that Loial use his Treesinging ability to please other members of the Blood at Turak's court. Loial and Ingtar also plan to steal the Horn of Valere, which is now in Turak's possession. They note that there is barely anything to stop them from doing so, with far more guards posted outside the *damane* kennels.<ref name="EyesWithoutPity">*The Wheel of Time*, season 2 episode 6: *Eyes Without Pity*.<ref>

Amanda Kate Shuman

**Amanda Kate Shuman** is a writer and co-executive producer for *The Wheel of Time* television series. Her involvement in the series was announced on July 30, 2018, when showrunner Rafe Judkins released the title page for the second episode on social media, which credited Shuman as the writer.

## General overview

Prior to *The Wheel of Time*, Shuman was best known for writing episodes for *Berlin Station* (2016, 3 episodes), *The Blacklist* (2013-2015, 30 episodes), *The Following* (2013, 2 episodes), and *Chuck* (2011, 2 episodes).

On May 3, 2023, Rafe Judkins highlighted Amanda Kate Shuman's involvement with *The Wheel of Time* in a Twitter thread to show what she brought to the series. Shuman was working with *The Wheel of Time* "from the very first days" in 2017. Shuman and Judkins broke down the first book *The Eye of the World* together to make it work as a season. Shuman had not read the books before then, so she brought the perspective of a non-reader, which helped them ensure the show also worked for non-readers. In 2019, Shuman helped scout filming locations in Prague, and she attended production meetings, casting sessions, and chemistry reads. In 2020, when COVID caused shutdowns and required massive script changes, Shuman assisted in major rewrites.

Breakbone fever

Young girl with breakbone fever being healed

**Breakbone fever** is an often deadly disease that causes one's muscles to cramp so severely that it can break bone.

## History

### Pre-series

In 988 NE, Bran and Marin al'Vere brought their daughter, Egwene, to Doral Barran, the Wisdom of the Two Rivers, as she was suffering from breakbone fever. Doral did not know what to do, and made a tea to ease her passing. However, Egwene refused the tea, and stayed with Doral's young foster daughter and apprentice, Nynaeve, all night. By the morning, her fever had broken.

### Season 1

In the Light's Blessing Inn in Tar Valon, Nynaeve relates the story of Egwene's breakbone fever to Rand when they are missing Egwene. Nynaeve tells Rand that Egwene's experience with the fever shows how she is unbreakable.

### Season 2

Liandrin Guirale takes Nynaeve to a Yellow Ajah healing house where a young girl is afflicted with breakbone fever. Nynaeve recognizes the illness immediately. An Accepted demonstrates the healing, and Nynaeve remarks that it was "incredible."

## Quotes

> You know, when Egwene was little, barely ten, her parents brought her to us, the Old Wisdom and I. She had an infection already set into her muscles. They were cramping so badly that her legs were bent backwards on themselves. That's why they call it breakbone fever. Usually before the person dies, they snap their own legs and arms in half. The Old Wisdom, she, um... she didn't know what to do. So she started making a tea to ease her passing. But I couldn't. So I took Egwene's hands, and she held on so tight. She looked at me and she said, "I'm not ready." She was so small. She just lay there the whole night while her own body tried to break itself in half. And she didn't cry. [chuckles, sniffles] Not once. And she refused the Wisdom's tea. In the morning, the fever had broken. Not her.

> Nynaeve to Rand, sesaon 1 episode 5 Blood Calls Blood

> **Nynaeve**Breakbone fever.**Accepted**Begging your pardon, Aes Sedai. Would you?**Liandrin**Oh, proceed, child. We wish only to observe.**Nynaeve**Crimsonthorn root. You aren't going to--**Liandrin**Of course she's not. Breakbone may be a death sentence where you come from, but here, it's easily healed.**Accepted**We dilute the crimsonthorn. Takes the edge off the pain. But the Healing is still quite uncomfortable. Maybe you could hold her hand while I do this?— Season 2 episode 2 *Strangers and Friends*

## Changes from the book series

Breakbone fever is an adaptation of the disease of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series. The illness in the TV series adaptation seems to be essentially unchanged from the books.

Black Ajah

An Aes Sedai Great Serpent ring with a black stone

The **Black Ajah** is a secret Aes Sedai Ajah that serves the Shadow. Although the existence of a Darkfriend Ajah has been denied by the White Tower, the group does truly exist.

*This article contains spoilers for events throughout the entire series and the identities of all Aes Sedai of the Black Ajah. Do not read any further if you wish to avoid any spoilers about which Aes Sedai are Black Ajah.*

## Overview

Very little is known about how the Black Ajah operates, but their name seems to suggest an organization structure more like the other Ajahs of the Aes Sedai instead of simply being Aes Sedai who happen to be Darkfriends. What is known about the Black Ajah is that all members must publicly pose as members of the other Ajahs.

It appears that the Black Ajah may be free of the Three Oaths. Liandrin seemed to outright lie to Mat by stating that Perrin had never mentioned him in his letters. She also seriously attacked Nynaeve, Egwene and Elayne to an extent that would appear to violate the third oath about using the One Power as a weapon.

## Quotes

> **Yasicca**See, this is Sheriam's usual writing.**Verin**Mm-hmm.**Yasicca**But here... it looks as if her hand was moving more slowly. [gasps] Or perhaps it was someone trying to mimic her handwriting?**Verin**No, Sheriam remembered making the notation herself.**Yasicca**Mm.**Verin**Do you think it might look like this... if a weave of Compulsion was being used?**Yasicca**Compulsion? That would break the Three Oaths. It would mean that someone in the Tower has sworn to the Dark. That... Black Ajah really exists.— Season 2 episode 5 *Damane*

## Changes from the book series

The Black Ajah is adapted from the secret Ajah of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

## Overview

Arad Doman is particularly skilled at horse breeding. Some of their horses are considered the finest in the Westlands.

## History

### Season 2

Perrin Aybara and Loial are riding through Arad Doman with a company of Shienaran soldiers led by Ingtar Shinowa. Their party is searching for Padan Fain and the Horn of Valere after Fal Dara was infiltrated by the Darkfriend and his allies. They meet up with Elyas Machera in the countryside, who has been hired for his abilities to sense evil. Both Perrin and Elyas are able to sense events that had happened at the wreckage of a caravan attacked by Darkfriends. They go on to find the corpse of a dog that had been trying to protect a girl who escaped the caravan, and also find the corpse of a Shienaran soldier. Loial infers that he must have been a Darkfriend who let Fain into Fal Dara, and who had been traveling with him ever since. The Shienarans hold a burial for the slaughtered. Perrin also celebrates the Bel Tine of 999 NE here in Arad Doman.

The party later comes across a crossing while continuing to follow the trail of Darkfriends. The party finds an abandoned house, and discover that all who lived there have been slaughtered. They are also shocked to find that a Fade has been killed and that its body is hanging from a rope, unsure of who or what could manage to do such a thing to the highly dangerous Shadowspawn. Lord Ingtar orders them all back to the horses, and states they will stay in the village by the river over the night. Their party then leaves the borders Arad Doman, passing into Toman Head.

## History

### Life and legacy

Jearom was a great swordsman of his time, and he allegedly won ten thousand victories. He was defeated only once, by a farmer with a wooden quarterstaff. The story of Jearom is passed down among the Warders.

### *Origins*

During a Warder training session, a trainee wielding a sword is defeated by an opponent wielding a quarterstaff. A Warder instructor gets the trainee up and goes over the story of Jearom with him. The instructor tells it as a cautionary tale, advising the trainee to respect his opponent regardless of the weapon they wield.

Amyrlin Seat

The **Amyrlin Seat** is the leader of the Aes Sedai. The name refers to both the woman herself and the throne she occupies. Her titles also include "The Watcher of the Seals" and "The Flame of Tar Valon." Among Aes Sedai, she is addressed as "Mother", and she addresses other Aes Sedai as "Daughter."

The current Amyrlin Seat is Siuan Sanche.

## Overview

The Amyrlin Seat is raised from one of the Ajahs, but is subsequently considered to be of "all Ajahs and none", so she can fairly rule over all Aes Sedai. It can be insulting to publicly mention an Amyrlin's Ajah, as it challenges her impartiality.

The Amyrlin Seat is considered to be the most powerful individual in the Westlands. She is considered the social superior of even kings and queens, and is entitled to demand the presence of any monarch, who is expected to give deference to her position.

Despite the Amyrlin's considerable authority, the Hall of the Tower has its own power and can keep the Amyrlin in check. Amyrlins have even been deposed and stilled by the Hall.

## History

The title of "Amyrlin Seat" appears to be derived from the Tamyrlin Seat, the leader of the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends.

Tetsuan was the first Amyrlin to be deposed and stilled by the Hall of the Tower.

## List of Amyrlin Seats

* Tetsuan (unknown)
* Marith Jaen (unknown)
* Siuan Sanche (unknown - present)

## Quotes

> **Leane**Attend you, all. She comes. The Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Amyrlin Seat.— Leane Sharif to the Hall of the Tower, 1.06 *The Flame of Tar Valon*

## Changes from the book series

The Amyrlin Seat is adapted from the position of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

**Helena Westerman** is a British actress who portrays Laila Dearn on Prime Video's *The Wheel of Time*.

## General overview

Helena Westerman is primarily known for stage roles. She is the co-artistic director of Rascal Theatre.

From 2019, it was speculated that Helena Westerman would be joining *The Wheel of Time* after a credit for the show appeared on her agency, though it was later taken down. Westerman was also identified as one of the cast members attending to the first table read in September 2019.

On March 8, 2020, Westerman's involvement in the series was first officially confirmed when showrunner Rafe Judkins made an Instagram post for International Women's Day that included Westerman's photo among other cast and crew for *The Wheel of Time*, although her role remained unconfirmed.

Speculation persisted until late 2021, where it was confirmed that she would appear in the show via attendees of London Comic Con, who saw exclusive clips from the first episode. She also heavily interacted with the show via social media before the premiere.

Bode Cauthon

## Bodewhin Cauthon

**Bodewhin "Bode" Cauthon** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Litiana Biutanaseva.

She is the daughter of Abell and Natti Cauthon, and the younger sister of Mat, and the twin sister of Eldrin. Her family is one of the poorest in the Two Rivers.

## History

### Early life

Bode was born in Emond's Field. Her parents were Abell and Natti Cauthon, her elder brother was Mat, and her twin was Eldrin. Bode's parents were neglectful, with Natti being drunk, and Abell being a known philanderer, and subsequently, she and Eldrin began to rely more on their brother, Mat.

## Activities

### Season 1

On Winternight, Mat ushers a drunken Natti back home. Bode and Eldrin are playing with dolls at home, and Bode watches on as her sister asks if her mother is "sick" again.

On Bel Tine, Mat and his sisters light three lanterns to pray that the Wheel of Time weaves the souls of the departed back into the world. When the village is attacked by Shadowspawn, the sisters hide away from their parents and brother. They begin to call for help, and Mat finds them in their hiding place, telling them to hide in an oak in the woods, like when they played hide-and-seek. After the fighting is over, the sisters return to the village with Mat, and Natti is moved to tears to see both of her daughters alive. Both sisters rush to embrace their mother, but Mat soon leaves the Two Rivers with Moiraine Damodred after the Aes Sedai tells him that he is among the four candidates for the Dragon Reborn.

Aludran

**Aludran** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Vladimír Javorský. He is an ailing, elderly man living in Northharbor.

## History

### Early life

Aludran is the son of Liandrin Guirale, an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. It is unknown if he was born prior to her training in the White Tower or if he was born when she was already an Aes Sedai.

Due to use of the One Power slowing his mother's aging process, Aludran visibly appears far older than his own mother. He lives in an apartment in Northharbor, and Liandrin pays him regular visits.

### Season 1

Moiraine Damodred knows that Liandrin has regularly been meeting a man in Northharbor. She threatens to expose this to the White Tower if Liandrin tells Siuan Sanche that Perrin Aybara and Egwene al'Vere have been Healed by the Yellow Ajah.

### Season 2

A disguised Liandrin visits her elderly son in Northharbor. She goes to his bedside and lovingly asks him to wake up, as she is with him now. She gives him a medicine made of crimsonthorn, intending to ease the pain. Liandrin then noticed that Nynaeve al'Meara is in the apartment, and is shocked and outraged to see that she had been followed. Nynaeve states that she thought Liandrin was trying to kill him with the crimsonthorn, and that he was a man who could channel. Liandrin tells Nynaeve to walk away before she could do something both of them would regret, but Nynaeve stays to talk more about Aludran and his pain. The Novice points out that Aludran's hand is spasming, and explains that this means the pain was in his heart, and that crimsonthorn would not help with it. She suggests Liandrin use tumeric milk to help smooth the inflammation, but the Aes Sedai slaps her across the face, demanding Nynaeve get out at once before she kills her. Liandrin continues to angrily sob as Nynaeve departs, before apologizing to her son and saying she didn't know he would get hurt. She kneels by his bed and continues to cry, while Aludran reaches toward his mother's Great Serpent ring.
