Too busy in Caemlyn to do anything, he left Owyn until it was too
late. When he returned to Caemlyn, Morgase was upset with him for
disappearing without a word. Instead of gently brushing aside her
temper, as was normal, he told her what he thought: that she was a
spoiled child, a puppet of Tar Valon and he shook her physically.
He left Caemlyn half a step ahead of the headsman's axe. He continues
to blame himself for Owyn.
Thom became a travelling gleeman, entertaining villagers for many
years. It was in his profession that he came to Emonds Field for Bel
Tine. When Moiraine left the Two Rivers, he left as well, wanting
to help Rand, Mat and Perrin, as he had not done for Owyn. When everyone
was separated at Shadar Logoth, he, Mat and Rand took refuge on Bayle
Domon's ship. Once in Whitebridge he helped Mat and Rand escape by
attacking a Myrddraal, giving him a perminant limp.
Making his way around as a gleeman once again, he arrived in Cairhien,
performing in the forgate for Seaghan. He fell in love with Dena:
a young woman training to be a performer. There he met Rand again
and retrieved his flute and harp. Just when things were looking up
for Thom, King Galldrian had Dena killed in some obscure Daes Dae'mar
plot. Thom then killed Galldrian, plunging Cairhien into civil war. |
