I haven't thought of how to include this, but her sigle is a silver keystone Spewin

She isnt technically queen until her coronation. Should she still be in the category?

Stronger then Moghedien?[]

What proof is there for that claim. I generally go by the strength listing at http://13depository.blogspot.com/2009/02/saidar-strength-ranking.html and she's one level lower than Moghedien.

The Babes[]

Does anyone know how far along Elayne's pregnancy is at the end of KoD? To take a step further, does anyone have any notion how long after KoD's end Mat arrives in Caemlyn and Egwene is raised in Tar Valon? -Rrius 13:22, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Not 100% sure but I think that she's roughly seven or maybe eight months pregnant. Check on http://www.sevenspokes.com to make sure, I think I've got the math right, she gets pregnant in Winters Heart and by either Knife or Gathering we know via Egwene that she's 'big' and she can't control her channelling.Lightningbarer 10:10, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I basically copied and pasted the family tree from Rand's page and don't really know how to manipulate it. Can someone make it so Elane appears closer to the left? Or maybe moving the pic of her sigil would make the whole tree visible? Seebster 19:06, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Elayne is on the left[]

I don't want to name names, but people recently have been consistently editing the picture of Elayne, Nynaeve and Aviendha at the Bowl of the Winds to say that Elayne is in the middle. I hope you all read this. The one in the middle is dressed in simple clothes and has a belt knife and 'reddish' hair, which could not be described as 'red-gold curls' like Elayne has - and Elayne is not noted for wearing such an obvious large belt knife. The woman on the left is dressed in extravagant embroidered silks and her hair is very red. Aviendha is in the middle and Elayne is on the left. The one on the left looks taller because the perspective is closer. Now, I hope we can put this all to bed.

The Morrígan[]

I think there is strong evidence that Elayne represents one aspect of the triplicate goddess the Morrígan in Celtic mythos. The Morrígan has 3 primary aspects, the Maiden, the Mother, and the Elder Crone, the Crone aspect sees visions of people's deaths and prophecy. The goddess' aspects are sometimes believed to be a singular entity, and other times sisters. This bears striking similarity to the situation with Aviendha (the Maiden), Elayne (the Mother), and Min (the Elder of the 3, and a seer of prophecy and death).

Not only do the three women bear striking similarity to the Celtic goddess, but they are often referred to as the wife of the Celtic god the Dagda. The Dagda as a deity is one tied directly to the fertility of the land, it bends and responds to his passing in very similar ways to how we see nature bend itself around Rand, particularly toward the end after his time on Dragonmount.

I suspect this is intentional on Jordan's part, as there are other clear connections to Celtic mythos in the Tuatha Dé Danann / Aos Sí / Aes Sídhe and in universe elements.
