History[]
She gave up the Way of the Leaf and became an outcast to rescue her daughter Kirin from raiders during the Breaking of the World. By that time Rand's ancestors' clan was separated from the Jenn Aiel and as a duty they guarded them. Planning the rescue Morin refused to stay behind, she wanted actively free her daughter, so Jeordam shortened a spear for her to be able to handle it and showed her how to use it, also saying to find a shield for her other hand. Jeordam started to work out how to use the shortened spear and in his mind he could see the Aiel defeating all the men with swords. The shortened spear soon became a standard weapon for all Aiel warriors.[2]
Morin had a husband who she left behind because he cared more for the Chora-tree cuttings than his own daughter. There are some indications on her possible future relationship with Jeordam, such as Jeordam finding her pretty, him asking about her husband's whereabouts, and Morin asking Jeordam's age, saying "You will make a fine father." and also saying "I saw your face in the dream.".
