Tamra Ospenya was the Amyrlin Seat at the time of Rand al'Thor's birth, raised from the Blue Ajah in 973 NE.

[edit] Appearance

Described as having long hair streaked with gray as well as a square face.

[edit] History

She was thought to be fair and always just. She also seemed to be a devious manipulator.

Raised to Amyrlin Seat from the Blue Ajah in 973 NE. Her raising to the staff and stole is rumoured to be the reason for the retirement of Romanda Cassin.

[edit] Activities

She heard Gitara Moroso's Foretelling of the rebirth of the Dragon immediately before Gitara died. At this point Tamra began her search for the child she knew must be born by appointing searchers.

When the Black Ajah discovered what had happened, they - Galina Casban and Chesmal Emry in particular - tortured and murdered Tamra, along with the Aes Sedai that she had sent searching for the Dragon Reborn. Tamra's death in the tower was explained by an announcement that she had "died in her sleep". This left only Moiraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche not of the Black who knew of the Rebirth, so this began their search.
