Summary

Moiraine Damodred is an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, and the one who rescued Rand al'Thor, Matrim Cauthon, and Perrin Aybara from the Two Rivers. She also provided the impetus for Egwene al'Vere and Nynaeve al'Meara to become Aes Sedai as well. Moiraine traveled with Rand, teaching him about politics and world affairs while her Warder Lan instructed him in swordplay. She rescued Rand from Lanfear to her own detriment, becoming a prisoner to the emotion-eating Finn. She was later rescued by Mat, Thom, and Noal, and she rejoined Rand in time to help him win the Last Battle.

Notable Attacks/Techniques

Channeling the One Power: Moiraine stands among the highest echelon of Aes Sedai in terms of the Power, with few surpassing her before she was imprisoned by the Finn. After her imprisonment she stands among the lowest, but using her extremely strong angreal she is stated to far surpass her pre-imprisonment level of Power.

A full explanation of channeling the One Power and the numerous abilities it grants is found here, while below is a list of Power-related abilities most relevant to Moiraine specifically:

• Earthquakes: In contrast to most Earth-using channelers seen in the series, Moiraine makes earthquakes rather than making the ground explode beneath her enemy.

• Fear-Inducing Weave: Moiraine can induce mindless panic in people to cause them to wildly run away.

• Fire Chasm: A combination attack of Fire and Earth, Moiraine opens the ground beneath her enemy into a deep chasm from which searing flame erupts.

• Fire Wall: Moiraine created a massive horizontal wall of fire stretching from horizon to horizon in front of an approaching army of Shadowspawn.

• Fog Creation: Moiraine uses any nearby sources of water to create a fog stretching for miles.

• Healing: Moiraine has a notable high Talent for Healing.

• Insect Control: A secret Blue Ajah weave that allows Moiraine to repel insects or make them gather around her target to bite or sting.

• Staff Enhancement: Moiraine showed the ability to imbue her staff with power and heat, allowing her to block an attack from a much physically stronger man, and melting his sword on contact.
