Activities[]
She was advisor to King Galldrian of Cairhien. During this period she kept a low profile and was known to have visited the country estate of Lady Arilyn Dhulaine more than once.
She figured out that Thom Merrilin had killed Galldrian; while she understood why, as Galldrian had had Thom's apprentice Dena killed, she was displeased with him at all the suffering it had caused Cairhien. To everyone in Cairhien, she seemed to vanish after Galldrian's death. She was later coopted by Cadsuane.
She is with Cadsuane Melaidhrin and Samitsu Tamagowa in the rebel camp outside Cairhien when a bubble of evil erupts forcing them to flee all the while protecting an unconsious Rand al'Thor who was stabbed by Padan Fain with the Shadar Logoth dagger. When Min told of three sisters being stilled by Rand at Dumai's Wells, Niande and Samitsu vomit over the sides of the carriage they are in.
After it Niande helped Cadsuane to bring Rand safely to the Sun Palace. She reads while watching over Rand. When Asha'man walk in, she becomes disconcerted and drops her book.
When Cadsuane left Cairhien to Far Madding, in search of Rand, she left behind Niande along Samitsu and other unaligned sisters.
