Onroardin

Onroardin is a fictional location featured in the fantasy novel "The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. It is depicted as a relatively small, walled town situated in the region of the Two Rivers, the homeland of the main protagonists, Rand al'Thor, Mat Cauthon, and Perrin Aybara. Onroardin is characterized by its peaceful and isolated nature, typical of the other communities in the Two Rivers, which are largely untouched by the wider world and its conflicts.

The town's significance in the narrative is primarily as a point of origin and a place of safety for the characters before they are forced to flee their homes. It serves as a backdrop for the initial events of the story, establishing the idyllic life the protagonists leave behind. While not a major political or military center, Onroardin represents the simple, agrarian society of the Two Rivers people, who are known for their farming, hunting, and a general distrust of outsiders and the unknown. The presence of the town highlights the contrast between the peaceful existence of the Two Rivers and the encroaching dangers of the outside world, particularly the Shadow.
