| Two Rivers Folk | Member | The people of the Two Rivers - the remote, insular region of Andor where the story begins - form the core of the main cast. Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, and Nynaeve all come from Emond's Field and the surrounding villages. Two Rivers folk are known for their stubbornness (which they call determination), their skill with the longbow, their suspicion of outsiders, and their fierce loyalty to one another. As the series progresses, the Two Rivers transforms from a forgotten backwater into a significant power in its own right, largely because of the people it produced. Their shared origin is a constant point of connection for the main characters even as their paths diverge across the world. |
