While the Trakands may be a well-known family inThe Wheel of Time, they have not ruled long.

Queen Morgase is the first Trakand to sit on the Lion Throne of Caemlyn.

Though she can barely channel theOne Power, Morgase trained at the White Tower under Andoran customs.

Taringail Damodred, Husband to the Queen

Morgase’s marriage to Taringail was a politically motivated choice.

Instead, the Sun Throne passed to another family, and Galldrrian Riatin became the ruler of Cairhien.

Still, through him, the royal line of Andor has a claim to Cairhien.

As the only daughter of Morgase, Elayne is the heir despite being the youngest child.

She even has ambitions of becoming the first Queen of Andor who is a true Aes Sedai.

The world of ‘The Wheel of Time’ changed forever after this.

Galad may be descended from Andoran royalty, but not Morgase.

Galad has a rigid morality, as seen by his repetitive confrontations with Mat inSeason 3.

Elayne often complains of him being dull, and he is certainly reserved.
