Strange Happenings

In a strange twist the formerly dead Rand al’Thor is once again living. He was brought back to life just in time to see the birth of his eleventh grandchild, Tina Foregate. He was also in time to see the untimely death of Elayne al’Thor(no relation). No one seems to be blaming Rand for her death, except for Elayne’s ghost perhaps.

And in a scene straight out off of a soap opera Siuan Sanche gave birth to son Ewin; her second child with Kevin al’Thor. The couple all ready have an older son named Perrin. As you may recall, Kevin is Rand al’Thor’s eldest, his son with the late Elayne. He is also married to an alien named Elayne which raises awkward questions about his sex life. Siuan is still happily married to her husband Alric, who not only takes a part in his and Siuan’s sons’ lives (Huan and Logain), but also helps with his ill-gotten stepsons.

How to Succeed at Failing

Yesterday there was tears of happiness at Université de Cairhien, as well as the old fashioned ones. Caitlin Melaidhrin – daughter of Rand al’Thor and Cadsuane Melaidhrin – graduated with a 3.9 GPA. She promptly moved back to Cairhien with fiancé Owyn Damodred.

Elayne al’Meara, however, was expelled from the university. Sources claim this was due in part to the hardships of her upbringing, specifically, her lack of knowledge about her birth-mother. Clay al’Meara wasn’t very forthcoming about where his daughter’s mother was, except to say “in space”.

Elayne isn’t all sorrow though. She did marry her longtime sweetheart Kevin al’Thor. al’Thor himself dropped out of college, and was very understanding to his wife’s situation. The two are now proud parents of a baby girl named Tigraine.

Death in Cairhien

Tam al’Meara died last night. A giant swarm of flies attacked him and reduced him to so much rubish. Rubish, that Nynaeve al’Meara (no relation) quickly swept up and threw away. Clay al’Meara (no relation), who was perhaps Tam’s only friend, was deeply affected by Tam’s passing. He left behind a fiancé, who’s name may or may not be Ken. Tam’s death is an important piece of news for citizens of Cairhien; he is the first Sim to die.
