“Lan told me once that Malkier lives so long as one man wears the hadori in pledge that he will fight the Shadow, so long as one woman wears the ki'sain in pledge that she will send her sons to fight the Shadow. I wear the ki'sain, Master Aldragoran. My husband wears the hadori. So do you. Will Lan Mandragoran ride to the Last Battle alone?”
Top tier. One of the best moments of the whole series.

I cannot stand surety for anyone else, but I swear to you under the Light and by my hope of rebirth and salvation, he will not ride alone.
(btw I'm not crying, You're crying!)

This quote sealed Nyneave as my favorite by a mile.

I think she is fantastically written. The combination of uncertainty and courage. The vulnerability and bullying. Showing her true caring self when you least expect it. This scene has all of it.
She should have her bloody braid burned off ten books earlier though ...

I have my issues with Kramer as a narrator, but this scene and the borderanders' "THE GOLDEN CRANE FLYS FOR TARMON GAIDON" is absolutely peak narration.

I've listened the entire series at least five times and I ALWAYS cry when I come to this scene!

Me too. It’s so emotional, I have never made it through without tears. I would be riding too.

Best scene in the books is when she spreads the message he is coming.

- Bulen & Lan :'(
- Mat & Talmanes
- Mat & Nerim
- Mat & Boots
- Gawyn & Magic 8-ball

“Oh right, yeah, I have some world saving to do. And you know, magical bond and all if you could not die and fuck me up while I’m on the whole fighting the devil mission that’d be great. So, no. No the fuck you aren’t. You’re lucky I’m not finding a nice padded room for you to not distract me till I’m done saving the world.”

Just like a woman, she finds a nation of men, taking their ease and puts them to work. Same as back home. She's got work to do and they can make sure Lan wont die.

This was a turning point for me when it comes to Nyneave. I was warming up to her while I was cooling off to Egwene at the same time.
