How old is everyone?

Contributed by: Courtenay Footman, Sean Hillyard, Pam Korda, Katrina Werpetinski

• Aviendha is about the same age as Rand, 20-21ish.
• Egwene is about the same age as Elayne, 18. LOC: 36, ?, The Amyrlin is Raised, 478
• Elaida has about 5 years (was one of the Accepted who watched over her when she was a Novice) on Moiraine, late forties-early fifties.
• Elayne is 18. LOC 602
• Faile is a couple of years older than Win Finngar, so she's 17-18 now.
• Galad: Tigraine disappeared in 972 when he was an infant. Puts him at 27.
• Gawyn is the same age as Rand (21).
• Isam was a child when Malkier fell, so he is a few years older than Lan, say about 50.
• Lan was born in 953, according to LOC glossary. This fits with him being an infant when Malkier fell.
• Liandrin is referred to as young, not just young seeming as are all Aes Sedai, about 27.
• Mat: the far end of 20 years LOC REF?
• Min is older than Rand, younger than Nynaeve, say 23, starting at 21.
• Moiraine was born in 956, according to LOC glossary. This fits with her being Accepted at the end of the Aiel War.
• Nynaeve was just old enough to recall Tam bringing baby Rand back to Emond's field--say about 5. That puts her at 26 now, 24 at the beginning. This agrees with LOC p.602 REF?.
• Rand: In TFoH, Moiraine notes that it has been almost 21 years since the search began for the Dragon Reborn. TFoH: 15, 301, What Can Be Learned In Dreams, 214 That puts Rand's age at about 21, and so he started at about 19.
• Perrin: about same age as Rand and Mat.
• Siuan Sanche is about the same age as Moiraine -- mid-forties, although she looks very young due to stilling. She was raised Amyrlin at age 30, so we should be able to get an exact age. (LOC: 35, In the Hall of the Sitters, 471)
• Taim is at least 15 years older than Rand, so thus is about 35. (LOC: 2, A New Arrival, 76)
