Herot's Crossing

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Herot's Crossing was a location within the Borderland of Malkier. It is unclear if it was a town or merely a location. It is famed as the site of the final stand of the Malkieri, when King al'Akir Mandragoran and Queen el'Leanna Mandragoran led the last remnants of the Malkieri army against the Shadowspawn invasion. Despite a valiant defence, the Malkieri host was slaughtered and al'Akir and el'Leanna were killed. The Shadowspawn swept on to the destroy the Seven Towers and menaced the border of Shienar, before the other Borderlands sent a unified army against them which turned them back at the Stair of Jehaan.

Shortly before the battle, al'Akir and el'Leanna sent their infant son al'Lan Mandragoran south to Fal Moran to escape the massacre at Herot's Crossing.
