[edit] History
Moiraine Damodred thought her to be always just, but usually fair.
She had the Talent of Foretelling. Her Talent seems to have been extremely strong and had major repurcussions, making her almost solely responsible for some of the major events of the series.
In the 960s and into the early 970s of the New Era she served as the advisor to Queen Mordrellen Mantear of Andor.
In 971 NE she advised Mordrellen's son Luc Mantear to journey into the Great Blight on a mission of importance to the survival of the world. Luc's sister, Tigraine Mantear, the Daughter-Heir of Andor, fell into a great depression at the news of her brother's disappearance.
After bearing her son, Galad, in the spring of 972 NE Tigraine received advice from Gitara Moroso that the fate of the world depended on her journeying into the Aiel Waste to join 'the maidens'. She did this, eventually passing over the Spine of the World and joining the Maidens of the Spear, an all-female warrior society of the Aiel.
Queen Mordrellen died of grief for the loss of her children, and a brief civil war took place which saw Morgase Trakand take the Lion Throne. A year later, the newly-raised Amyrlin Seat, Tamra Ospenya, recalled Moroso to Tar Valon to serve as her Keeper of the Chronicles.
Moroso's actions had far-reaching consequences. Tigraine (now called Shaiel), caught the eye of Janduin, clan chief of the Taardad Aiel, and they fell in love but did not marry, as Tigraine did not wish to leave the Maidens. Tigraine fought alongside the other Aiel in the Aiel War of 976-978 NE. She fell pregnant with Janduin's son early in 978 NE and died on the slopes of Dragonmount nine months later giving birth whilst the Battle of the Shining Walls raged around her.
Her newborn son was found by an Andoran soldier serving in the army of Illian, Tam al'Thor. At the precise moment of the child's birth, several miles away in the White Tower, Gitara proclaimed that the Dragon had been Reborn and died from the shock of it. The only witnesses were Amyrlin Tamra Ospenya, and two of the Accepted, Moiraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche. Moiraine and Siuan would dedicate the next twenty years of their life to the search for the Dragon Reborn.
Without Moroso's Foretellings, it is debatable if Rand al'Thor would have been born, and the world may have been lost to the Shadow.
