Lan Mandragoran -
- This article is about Lan, a fictional character. For a LAN, see Local Area Network.
Lan, full name al'Lan Mandragoran, is one of the main characters of the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan. al'Lan Mandragoran is the last surviving King of Malkier. His people were overrun by the Blight when he was but a baby. We see Lan (as he is called) in the main series first in The Eye of the World. At the time, he was Moiraine's Warder. During the trip, he and Nynaeve fell in love, but his duty was ever to Moiraine; when their paths split after Tear, he went with his Aes Sedai to the Aiel Waste. This led to Moiraine's and Lanfear's passing at the doorframe ter'angreal. When a Warder's Aes Sedai dies, the Warder is usually quick to follow, but Moiraine prevented this by altering their bond so that, upon her death, it would pass to another. Almost the moment she was lost, Lan set out to find this other, specifically Myrelle of the Green Ajah... Who happened to be with the Salidar rebels, under Egwene's command. When Egwene found out, she told Lan to go to Ebou Dar, where Nynaeve was hunting the Bowl of the Winds; he did so immediately. (What Egwene did to Myrelle is another story entirely.) He was there when Moghedien attempted to kill Nynaeve with balefire (though she missed and instead sliced through the boat Nynaeve was in) and helped to rescue her from the water. The two were married before the day's end, aboard a Sea Folk ship Nynaeve had been sent in embassy to. The Sea Folk have amusing customs regarding marriage: since a husband and wife may change rank in relation to each other many times, the spouse who is superior in public is inferior in private. This has resulted in Nynaeve losing quite a bit of her temper, though most (e.g. Mat Cauthon) believe Lan insane for having married her in the first place.
