Valan Luca's Traveling Show, or, Valan Luca's Grand Traveling Show and Magnificant Display of Marvelous Wonders, is a band of performers lead by Valan Luca.

Amoung his performers are strongmen, tight-rope walkers, sword swallowers and animal trainers.

One of his animal trainers is a Seanchan woman named Cerandin who rescued s'redit from Falme. To ease pronunciation, Valan calles them boar horses.

[edit] Travels

Nynaeve al'Meara and Elayne Trakand, accompanied by Thomdril Merrilin and Juilin Sandar, take refuge in the show when they are found in Sienda by Elayne's half-brother, Galadedrid Damodred [1]. While traveling with the show, and because of events in tel'aran'rhiod, Birgitte Silverbow is ripped out of the dream world and left physically in the real world. Due to the trauma of this event, and Nynaeve's inability to heal her, Elayne bonds Birgitte as her Warder[2].

Galad finally catches up to the girls in Samara and find them a ship to take them to Salidar[3] Soon after, Valan takes the show to Ebou Dar.

When in Ebou Dar, Valan Luca takes in Matrim Cauthon with his captive Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag. The show then leaves for Lugard[4].
