They ought to be Siblings
If you haven’t read The Wheel of Time series, skip this. Now, those who have read it, didn’t you ever think that Rand and Elayne ought to be siblings? Of some kind? Here’s the brief family history of Andor. Taringail Damodred, the Cairhien king’s nephew marries Tigraine, the daughter-heir of Andor. Galadedrid is born out of that marriage. Now, Tigraine runs away to the Aiel waste to become a Maiden of the Spear and marries a clan chief. Rand is born out of this marriage. That makes Galad and Rand, half brothers. Morgase, Tigraine’s cousin, marries Taringail to solidify her claim to the throne and eventually ascends the throne. Elayne and Gawyn are born out of this marriage. Galad is Elayne’s half brother and so that makes Rand her half brother too. Did I go wrong somewhere? They ought to be brother and sister, no?

Rand is the son of Tigraine and the Aiel guy. Elayne is the daughter of Morgase and Taringail. They are all different people. They are not siblings in any way.

Dude, not biologically, of course. Taringail has a father-son relationship with Rand in a way. And Elayne’s Taringail’s daughter too.

So you’re saying that they’re committing insects.

How do you figure that George?
Whoever has heard of siblings that aren’t biologically related? They are step-brother and step-sister which is totally different.

Seriously, George, put some reference!

Why? I understood it immediately.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Only three of you comment in my posts.

Three? Who’s the other one and where is he?
It’s your own fault for not updating often.

It’s complex mathematics. You won’t understand.
