When a stranger enters in the evening, Nynaeve is first to approach, asking the man to name himself. Nynaeve goes to the Winespring Inn in Emond's Field for the subsequent celebrations with the Women's Circle. She then tells Egwene to be strong, before pushing her off the cliffside into the river below in order to have the young woman prove her strength, and Egwene successfully makes it to the riverbank. On Winternight, 7 Aine 998 NE, Nynaeve welcomes Egwene into the Women's Circle by giving a speech on the significance of a grown woman braiding her hair in the Two Rivers. Shortly before Egwene is due to join the Women's Circle, Nynaeve approached her and asked her to train as an apprentice Wisdom, as she believed Egwene had the talent to listen to the wind. Without any family of her own, she began to consider the whole Two Rivers to be her family. When Doral Barran passed away, Nynaeve became the new Wisdom, the youngest that the Two Rivers had ever seen. In 993 NE, she was deemed old enough to braid her hair, and joined the Women's Circle. She took Egwene's hands and held her tight, and listened to her pleas to stay alive, and by the morning, she saw that the fever had broken. Doral did not know what to do, so made a tea to ease Egwene's passing, but Nynaeve could not let it happen. Since then, Nynaeve harbored a strong dislike of the Aes Sedai.Īround 988 NE, a young Egwene was brought to Doral and Nynaeve by her parents, Bran and Marin, who was suffering badly from breakbone fever. Nynaeve's foster mother told her how she walked to Tar Valon from the Two Rivers when she knew she could listen to the wind at the age of thirteen, but was sent away. She was subsequently found and raised by Doral Barran, a Wisdom of the Two Rivers, and raised in Emond's Field, quickly learning to heal, to listen to the wind, and to forage for plants and track animals. The last words her parents said to her were " Ayend'an Atha'an'shari'a marath allende'nesodhin an'ara'rhiod e'fel loviyagae zavilat'a'veren Ba'asa" (We shall go into the land so our children can always hold us and will never be alone.), the same last words that King Aemon said to Queen Eldrene. When she was very young, the village was attacked, and her parents hid her in the cellar. Nynaeve was born between 972 and 973 NE in a small homestead very near the Two Rivers proper.
