Mais la mère ne peux rien faire contre.... C'était pour avoir un pretexte d'entrer a l'armée
A large flying animal, the raken has a body considerably longer than a horse's and about equal in girth, with leathery gray skin and large, powerful wings much like those of a bat. Its intelligence is roughly equivalent to that of a horse. The animal's head sports a long horny snout with hard ridges that serve both as lips and teeth as well as powerful jaws that are easily capable of shearing through a branch or an arm. Two eyes set on the front of the head give the raken superior vision. The head is supported by a long, graceful neck. It has a very long, thin tail, quite frail-looking in comparison with the rest of the animal, which usually appears simply to trail behind in flight. That tail is actually very strong. While it is not used as a weapon, the raken often lashes the tail in anger when perched or on the ground, and has been known to accidentally break the arm or leg of a morat careless enough to come too close. In flight, the tail is used with great dexterity to aid in balance and control. The raken has two legs, relatively thin for the size of its body, which end in feet with six long, and very strong, taloned toes arranged four before and two behind.
On the ground, it normally crouches rather than standing erect, and raises its head on its long neck to look around. It stands erect only when alarmed or preparing to fly. When a raken is crouched, it is quite possible to simply throw a leg over the saddle.
While the raken is slow and awkward on the ground, it is an extremely agile flier, and very quick when it needs to be. Maximum flight speed is three to four times the speed of a horse. It can maintain this speed over short distances, but can fly fairly long distances at lower speeds without rest.
Primarily used for scouting and carrying messages, the raken can carry two people, if they are small, and is controlled by reins, attached to rings fixed permanently in the animal's horny nostrils, and leg pressure. The riders, morat'raken, sometimes called "fliers," are all either women or smaller than average men, and often ride double, one behind the other, in a specially constructed lightweight saddle that seats two. Paired morat are used in situations where extra eyes are wanted, as on most scouting missions, but when great speed is required, or long distances, only one morat rides. Long distance for a raken is three to four hundred miles.
A raken will fly even if injured or ill, although not as far or as fast, of course, and may be, like some horses, ridden to the point of its death.
It can perch comfortably even on vertical surfaces if there is any purchase for its claws. In some cases when perching on such precipices it will spread its wings across the surface, in effect clutching with them. The raken will perch in large trees where the branches can support it, but it prefers open ground or cliffs.
It is an omnivore, though apparently perfectly content with an all-plant diet. An egg layer, the female raken lay one egg at a time.
To’raken
The to'raken is probably related to the raken and looks in general appearance much like the raken except that it is much larger and is mottled brown in color rather than gray. Like the raken, it crouches when on the ground, rather than standing erect, raising its head to look around. Yet because of its much larger size, the to'raken's crouched back can be nine feet or more above the ground. It has the intelligence level of a horse and is an herbivore. Like the female raken, the female lays her eggs one at a time. It does not perch in trees, however large, no doubt due to its great size and weight. It much prefers the tops of cliffs or hills. Unlike the raken, which can simply throw itself into the air, a to'raken must run as much as one hundred paces while flapping its wings before launching itself from level ground.
At least as awkward on the ground as raken, the to'raken is neither as agile in the air nor as fast as raken. Its maximum speed is little more than twice that of a horse. It also does not perch on vertical surfaces, but on surfaces that are steep for it, it uses the same spread-wing clutching as its cousin.
The value of a to'raken lies in its strength and endurance. A to'raken has the ability to fly much farther than a raken without rest. They have been known to fly over a thousand miles at moderate speed when carrying only one morat in the saddle. They can also carry much larger loads. With one morat up, a to'raken can carry an additional one thousand pounds or more of cargo as far as two hundred miles.
They are primarily used for transporting people who must be moved quickly or urgent cargo. While they have occasionally been used in battle, with archers or crossbowmen behind a single morat, the bowmen are not low enough and slow enough to be effective until the to'raken is in range of arrows and crossbow bolts from the ground. An injured to'raken does not fly well. Unlike the raken, when injured they often refuse to fly farther than a safe landing point. Of course that usually means safe from the point of view of the to'raken, not necessarily of the morat. As a result, this extremely valuable animal is seldom use in battle.
A morat who can handle raken can handle to'raken, and vice versa but morat'raken are considered superior to morat'to'raken. To order morat'raken to fly a to'raken would entail a loss of face for the flier, a fact which even the Blood recognizes.

Bah ça dépend de quelle recrue . Si à terme les Liges atteignent la perfection, au départ les niveaux sont assez disparates entre les recrues j'imagine (même si évidemment on peut penser que les hommes qui s'engagent dans cette voie ont déjà un certain niveau de combat). Les recrues n'ont d'ailleurs aucun bonus de combat, cela ne commence qu'avec le statut d'apprenti.
D'ailleurs, en passant, peut-être faudrait-il repenser un peu ce système, qui date d'avant la mise en place des fiches, et qui manque donc d'un poil de précision, non ?

Ne risque-t-on pas d'avoir un petit problème gémellaire avec Alienor, qui a me semble-t-il la même tête qu'une certaine Aes Sedai de l'ajah verte, même si les vêtements sont légèrement différents ?

Il y a une lègère différence, mais c'est délicat quand même.
Enfin bon, moi ce que Gendy ...
