Berelain, The first of Mayene

[Sharaman]

Galad at various times has shown polite but distinct interest in Nyn and Eg and he's had disturbing dreams of Berelain. Suggests he's straight.

Not only disturbing dreams, the man was blown off his feet by her beauty. He couldn't keep his eyes away from her. And after joining Perrin's army, the couple basically spend every waking minute with each other.

Min sees a vision of Berelain early on which shows a man in white. I thought from that time that Berelain would end up with Galad.

I always thought the story of why her country was never absorbed by Tear was kind of lame. "They don't take Mayene because Mayene only knows where the oil fish shoals are." Really just park a bunch of boats around Mayene and follow them. Or pay some dock worker to tell you where the shoals are. Or shove a red hot poker up a sensitive area.

 

But back to Berelain. She is probably one of the strongest rulers in the story to be honest. Morgase then Berelain then a long gap and the rest of the world. Maybe Mat's queen in Ebu Dar. She seemed to have a handle on things until Mat showed up and spun her around. Anyway. The way Jordan described her at first was all about her upper chest area. Then she gets into a cat fight with Faile and you think ok she rocks. Then she goes off with Perrin and she starts to turn into one of the best rulers in the story.

 

Well if you can overlook the aspect that she has been away from her little city state for almost five years.
