POV Moiraine
'The Dragon Reborn', a name to inspire dread, terror and panic and after all those fragile hope. Not much is known about the man who saved the world yet broke it beyond all reconciliation at the same time. The man who killed and destroyed everyone who he loved and loved him in return, destroyed so thoroughly that he was named Kinslayer.
Born named Lews Therin, with greatest possible strength in One Power for man or woman unaided by Angreal and Sa'angreal, he became the most distinguished and accomplished person of the Age of Legends and earned the name Telamon. While not much knowledge of Age of Legends has survived the Breaking and even what survived the Breaking is further diminished during Trolloc Wars the remnant knowledge is quite clear on this topic,a third name is the greatest honor that could be bestowed on a person during Age of Legends, and it can only be earned through doing great service to whole of humanity and being distinguished in their chosen field.
While the exact meaning of the name ' Telamon ' itself is lost to time, there are two possible interpretations among many that Moiraine could ascertain, it might translate directly as ' The Dragon ' or ' a male figure used as a central pillar to support a structure '. The Dragon is supposedly the creature on the Dragon Banner, A creature like a serpent, scaled in scarlet and gold, but with scaled legs, and feet with five long, golden claws on each, and a great head with golden mane and eyes like the sun, what exactly is dragon, was it a creature of blood and bone or a myth is not known, the attributes associated with it aren't known either. The second interpretation is easier however, it implies Lews Therin was one of the if not the pillar holding up a structure, the structure which is strongly implied to be the whole of human civilization.
Lews Therin was a renowned scholar, accomplished swordsman, perhaps even a Blademaster, greatest General of his Age, a channeler of peerless strength and skill. He was raised to the High Seat of Hall of Servants, wore the Ring of Tamyrlin, proclaimed First Among Servants, leader of all Aes Sedai. He was titled Lord of the Morning, Prince of the Dawn and Champion of the Light. During the War of the Power he was essentially the ruler of entire human civilization and Commander in Chief of the Armies of the Light.
Despite being all that he failed to completely defeat the Dark One and only managed to seal Dark One imperfectly, the act which allowed the Dark One to deliver a devastating counter stroke by tainting Saidin, which led to breaking of the world by insane male channelers.
Now, the Dragon is Reborn, the seals on Dark Ones prison are weakening, the Blight spreads faster than ever, the nations of the world are slowly growing weaker with shrinking populations and borders, the Black Ajah is plotting in the White Tower, Tarmon Gai'don is breathing down our necks and we don't have the wonders and knowledge of Age of Legends to help humanity fight against the Shadow. The worlds only hope is Light only knows where.
Oh Light, help me find him soon, before it is too late.
