Thom asks her what she means and she explains that the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn fed on her power as well as her emotions, draining her ability to channel.

A Memory of Light

This section contains spoilers relating to A Memory of Light. Please expand to view.

After leaving the Tower of Ghenjei, Moiraine and Thom travel to the Field of Merrilor, where they find Rand’s meeting with the other rulers in full swing. Moiraine enters the tent, interrupting an intense argument between Rand and Egwene (AMoL, Ch. 5; AMoL, Ch. 6). Rand is shocked to see her, touching her face and then kneeling in front of her. After many of the others have joyfully greeted her as well—including Nynaeve, who hugs her, and Egwene, who welcomes her back to the White Tower—Moiraine proceeds to settle the disputes over Rand’s requirements for the Last Battle. She quotes several pieces of the Karaetheon Cycle, reminding those who oppose Rand that much of what he is requesting of them is actually written in prophecy. However, she manages to find compromises that at least partially satisfy everyone (AMoL, Ch. 6).

When Rand visits the Borderlander armies at Tarwin’s Gap, Moiraine accompanies him (AMoL, Ch. 11). She doesn’t think he should be risking himself and is impatient for him to go to Shayol Ghul, thinking that he is delaying too much (AMoL, Ch. 11; AMoL, Ch. 18). Moiraine also warns Rand that he shouldn’t go to the Black Tower as it is a trap, and here Rand heeds her warnings (AMoL, Ch. 18).

Rand has been giving gifts to those he cares about before he goes to fight the Dark One; he gives Moiraine a Tar Valon mark in replacement of the one she gave him so long ago in Emond’s Field (AMoL, Ch. 11).

When Rand goes to the Bight to test if the artham will truly keep the Dark One from sensing him, Moiraine is one of those who accompany him (AMoL, Ch. 13).

Rand tells Moiraine that he plans to kill the Dark One instead of just sealing him away again. Moiraine doesn’t think it is possible and thinks Rand is foolish and too proud for thinking he can do it (AMoL, Ch. 16).

Moiraine joins Rand on one more scouting trip to the Blight (AMoL, Ch. 20). The next day, they move on Shayol Ghul. While Ituralde and his forces begin their battle in the valley, Moiraine and Nynaeve accompany Rand to the Pit of Doom while Thom stays outside the cavern to guard it. As Rand, Moiraine, and Nynaeve make their way into the cavern, they link, with Rand leading the circle. Moiraine gasps when they hear the voice telling Rand “IT IS TIME. LET THE TASK BE UNDERTAKEN” (AMoL, Ch. 24).

While Rand fights Moridin, the Pit of Doom is buffeted by a strong wind that tries to draw Moiraine and Nyaneve towards the blackness that is the Dark One’s essence. Moiraine and Nynaeve cling to the surrounding stalagmites. Moiraine manages to keep her eyes open, watching the fight the entire time “as if determined not to look away, no matter the price” (AMoL, Ch. 30). When Rand tricks Moridin into channeling through Callandor, Rand yells for Moiraine and Nynaeve to use Callandor’s flaw to seize control of Moridin. Moiraine and Nynaeve then link with Rand, passing control to him so that he is able to use saidar, saidin, and the True Power at once to create a new prison for the Dark One (AMoL, Ch. 47). When light explodes from Rand following his sealing away of the Dark One, Moiraine and Nynaeve manage to escape from the Pit of Doom, where they are reunited with Thom. As Moiraine looks back into the cavern despite the blinding light, she can see Rand and Moridin still within the mountain (AMoL, Ch. 49).

While Rand’s unconscious body lies dying in the camp at Shayol Ghul after the Last Battle, Moiraine tells him that he did well. She attends the funeral held for him (AMoL, Epilogue).

While captive in the land of the Eelfinn however, her strength in the One Power is drained. By the time she is rescued, her channeling strength is much diminished, to the point that she would not have been able to become an Accepted of the White Tower (ToM, Ch. 57).

Moiraine knows how to weave Illusion (TEotW, Ch. 17) and she also knows how to weave invisibility. It is suspected that she also knows Unweaving. (TEotW, Ch. 49) On top of these, Moiraine also knows how to weave Balefire (TDR, Ch. 44).
