Ta'veren are people whom the Wheel of Time specifically weaves the Pattern around.
Ta'veren : "A person around whom the Wheel of Time weaves all surrounding life-threads, perhaps ALL life-threads, to form a Web of Destiny."[1]

Ability
- No one is born ta'veren, they are made so as the Wheel needs them to be.
- Ta'veren affect those around them inadvertently i.e: they can cause a person to fall off a house and then get up without a scratch on them, yet someone else can easily trip over a stick and break their neck.
- It is said that ta'veren can be tracked and located by their effect on the Pattern.
