Ta'veren
“The Wheel of Time weaves the Pattern of the Ages, and the threads it uses are lives. It is not fixed, the Pattern, not always. If a man tries to change the direction of his life and the Pattern has room for it, the Wheel just weaves on and takes it in. There is always room for small changes, but sometimes the Pattern simply won’t accept a big change, no matter how hard you try….And sometimes the Wheel bends a life-thread, or several threads, in such a way that all the surrounding threads are forced to swirl around it, and those force other threads, and those still others, and on and on. That first bending to make the Web, that is ta'veren, and there is nothing you can do to change it, not until the Pattern itself changes. The Web - ta'maral'ailen, it’s called - can last for weeks, or for years. It can take in a town, or even the whole Pattern.”

[image text: Now the man called Hector.

(Struggling.) Shining Hector. Man-killing Hector. Hektoros hippodamoio. (He translates). Hector breaker of horses – it’s always so hard to describe Hector – 

His little brother calls him a “sharp ax” – a sharp edge, always cleaving forward…

Hector believes in – he believes in institutions, he believes in  – in country, he believes in family, he believes in the army. Isn’t it funny how hard it is to describe a good man?

He’s a brave man, but deep down, he’d rather be taming horses.]

weep enough, and your nature becomes like stone, battered by water until it is smooth and impervious to hurt. use tears as a tool for long enough, and you will forget what real grief feels like. this was some small mercy, at least.”
