Rand al'Thor
Rand al'Thor is a young man of the Two Rivers, taller than anyone else in his district, with gray eyes, a reddish tinge to his hair and broad shoulders.
Rand al'Thor walks the Quarry Road through the Westwood beside his father, Tam, and a shaggy brown mare hauling their cart, his bow in hand with an arrow nocked. Spring is a good month late, the wind blows icy, and the forest has gone so quiet that no bird sings in it. The cart carries two casks of Tam's apple brandy and eight barrels of cider for the Winespring Inn, which Tam supplies every year for Bel Tine.
Rand is glad to get off the farm, though the festival itself pleases him more. On the road the feeling grows on him that he is being watched. Nothing stirs among the trees but the wind, yet the sense of it only strengthens until his skin prickles.
In Emond's Field he and his friend Mat carry the barrels in through the inn's common room, where four members of the Village Council sit by the fire, waiting for Tam and the innkeeper, Master al'Vere, to join them.
