However, that’s not to say the scene was an invention of the TV series.

During the chaos, Rand finds the body of a young Tairen girl.

The TV version of the character, on the other hand, coordinated and led the ambush himself.

It was never confirmed whether it was Rand’s lighting storm or something else that killed her.

The seriousness in which she treated Aiel honor and her exchanges with Rand immediately made her likable.

Attributing a face and personality to the dead child lent itself well to the scene’s effectiveness.

But perhaps most importantly,it helps Rand comprehend the burden that comes with being the Dragon Reborn.

People will die in his efforts to reach (and win) the Last Battle.
