Editing The Eye of the World (section)

==Plot==
In the remote village of [[Emond's Field]] in the [[Two Rivers (The Wheel of Time)|Two Rivers]], the arrival of a mysterious noblewoman precedes an attack by [[Trollocs]], humanoid monsters. The woman identifies herself as [[Moiraine Damodred]], an [[Aes Sedai]], and warns that servants of the [[Dark One (The Wheel of Time)|Dark One]] seek one of three young men: [[Rand al'Thor]], [[Perrin Aybara]] and [[Matrim Cauthon]]. They depart with Moiraine and her [[Warder (The Wheel of Time)|Warder]], [[Lan Mandragoran]], joined by [[Egwene al'Vere]], whom Moiraine believes has Aes Sedai potential; the [[itinerant poet|gleeman]] [[Thom Merrilin]]; and later the Wisdom [[Nynaeve al'Meara]], a healer who discovers her ability to [[channeling (The Wheel of Time)|channel]] the [[One Power]]. Pursued by Trollocs, they seek refuge in the abandoned city of [[Shadar Logoth]], where Mat steals a cursed dagger, becoming infected by the malevolent [[Mashadar]].

Escaping the city, the travelers are separated. Rand, Mat, and Thom travel by boat to [[Whitebridge (Wheel of Time)|Whitebridge]], where Thom is lost, allowing Rand and Mat to escape a [[Myrddraal]], the eyeless creatures leading the Trollocs. In [[Caemlyn]], Rand befriends an [[Ogier (The Wheel of Time)|Ogier]] named [[Loial]]. Attempting to see the captured [[False Dragon]], Rand meets [[Elayne Trakand]], heir to [[Andor (The Wheel of Time)|Andor]], and her brothers [[Gawyn Trakand]] and [[Galad Damodred]]. Rand is brought before [[Morgase Trakand|Queen Morgase]], her Aes Sedai advisor, [[Elaida a'Roihan|Elaida]]; and Gareth Bryne, Captain-General of the Queen's Guard, and released, despite Elaida's warnings.

Egwene and Perrin are separately guided to Caemlyn by [[Elyas Machera]], who communicates telepathically with wolves and claims Perrin shares this ability. They encounter the Tuatha'an, or [[Tinkers (The Wheel of Time)|Tinkers]], and Aram, who expresses interest in Egwene and explains their belief in non-violence, The Way of the Leaf. The three encounter the [[Children of the Light (The Wheel of Time)|Children of the Light]], where Perrin kills two for killing a wolf and is sentenced to death. Moiraine, Lan, and Nynaeve rescue Egwene and Perrin, reuniting them with Rand and Mat. Moiraine decides Mat must go to [[Tar Valon]] to overcome Shadar Logoth's influence.

Loial warns Moiraine of a threat to the Eye of the World, a pool of [[Saidin]] untouched by the [[Dark One (The Wheel of Time)|Dark One]]'s influence, confirmed by dreams Mat, Rand, and Perrin have. The Eye of the World is protected by [[Minor Wheel of Time characters#Someshta|Someshta]] (the [[Green Man]]) and contains a seal on the Dark One's prison, the Dragon banner of [[Lews Therin Telamon]], and the [[Horn of Valere]]. At the border of the civilized world, the group enters the Blight to protect the Eye. They meet the Green Man, who reveals the Eye, and are confronted by the [[Forsaken (The Wheel of Time)|Forsaken]] [[Aginor]] and [[Balthamel]]. Balthamel and the Green Man kill each other. Rand defeats Aginor and uses the Eye to decimate the Trolloc army and defeat [[Ba'alzamon]]. Moiraine concludes Rand is the [[Dragon Reborn]], but withholds details of the final battle from the male members of the group except Lan.
