Teramina. An Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah who was unaccounted for after the Seanchan raid on the White Tower. Egwene thought it possible that she was Mesaana, but Teramina was not very strong in the One Power and had been in the Tower for years, which made it unlikely.

Termool. The southernmost part of the Aiel Waste on the coastal area east of the Drowned Lands. It was a lifeless, waterless expanse of sand dunes that could rise three hundred feet high. Fierce windstorms could dramatically change the landscape, and conditions there were so harsh that it was avoided even by the Aiel. It was also called the Waterless Sands.
Termylle. A queen of Andor during the War of the Hundred Years. She reigned from FY 1046 to FY 1054.

Tervail was unaware that Beonin was with the rebels as a spy for Elaida. When they returned to Tar Valon, he thought that she was going to try to kill Elaida, and offered to do it for her.
Teryane. A Saldaean merchant’s daughter from Mehar who was Vilnar’s intended. Vilnar, a Saldaean soldier who patrolled Caemlyn after Rand had taken the city, worried that her father wanted a soldier for a son more than Teryane wanted one for a husband.
Teryl Wynter. A Warder of Seonid Traighan. A Murandian, with dark reddish hair, a curled mustache and eyes blue enough for an Aielman, Teryl was about 6'1" tall, lean and hard, and thirty years old at the time of Dumai’s Wells. He and Seonid and Furen, his fellow Warder, took part in the battle at Dumai’s Wells, and later accompanied Perrin to Ghealdan. He had contempt for Masema’s rabble.

Tesien Jorhald. A sister of the Red Ajah when Pevara was new to the shawl. Tesien insisted at that time that Pevara drop her friendship with Seaine, which she did. Reds discouraged friendships outside their Ajah.
Teslyn Baradon. An Illianer Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah and the loyalist contingent, with a strength level of 17(5). Born in 870 NE, she went to the White Tower in 885 NE. After spending seven years as a novice and five as Accepted, Teslyn was raised to the shawl in 897 NE and raised Sitter for the Red in 985 NE at age 115, although she was young to be a Sitter, having worn the shawl for only 88 years; she replaced one of the three who were forced to resign and were exiled in the wake of the male channeler pogrom, which Teslyn disapproved of, although she kept silent out of Ajah loyalty. About 5'5" tall, she had dark brown eyes and brown hair, narrow shoulders, gaunt cheeks, a thin mouth, a narrow nose and bony fingers; physically she was quite strong. She ran Elaida a close second for severity; no one ever thought her beautiful. Before her capture by the Seanchan, she was a thin, almost scrawny woman, and some might leave out the almost. Mat thought she looked as if she ate briars.
In 999 NE Elaida forced her to resign her chair and go to Ebou Dar; although Teslyn had supported her, Elaida wished to demonstrate that she could strike anyone. Teslyn resented that enough to work against her. She gave Joline, who was also in Ebou Dar, forkroot to prevent her from interfering with Elayne and Nynaeve’s plans. She was captured by the Seanchan, made damane and given the name “Tessi.” She was rescued by Mat Cauthon. After less than two months as a damane, she was fleshed out and was no longer so scrawny in appearance.
She also changed in other ways; she was fearful of being retaken by the Seanchan, and sometimes responded to orders in Seanchan accents in spite of herself, a fact that she purely hated.
On returning to the White Tower, she found things uncomfortable, joined the Dragonsworn and took part in the Last Battle, Healing the wounded and making a gateway for Mat’s troops.
Tess. Melfane’s cousin, who did not take care of herself properly while pregnant.
Tessi. Teslyn’s damane name.
Tetsuan. An Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah who served as the Amyrlin Seat during the Trolloc Wars. Her jealousy of Queen Eldrene led her to betray Manetheren, with the result that that nation, alone, faced the assault of a huge army of Trollocs and Dreadlords and was destroyed. When her deed was discovered, she was stripped of stole and staff, deposed and stilled. After the usual manner of the White Tower, the actual reasons were kept secret insofar as non–Aes Sedai were concerned. After being stilled, she lived three years scrubbing floors in the White Tower.

Thad Torfinn. A skinny Two Rivers farmer with nervous mannerisms, at least around Faile. Thad and Jon Ayellin went to Faile to settle the boundaries of their fields; since neither knew the true boundaries, she told them to split the difference. Even though Thad rarely left his farm except to go into Emond’s Field, he joined Perrin’s army at Malden.
Thakan’dar. The fog-enshrouded valley below the slopes of Shayol Ghul in the Blasted Lands, where Myrddraal swords were made. Thakan’dar was bitter cold and dry as a desert, incapable of sustaining any life whatsoever. It ran east to west, with Shayol Ghul situated at the western end and a mountain pass in the east. The valley was the site of considerable warfare during the Last Battle.
