Avendoraldera
Pronunciation: Ah-ven-doh-ral-DEH-rah 
Avendoraldera was a sapling of Avendesora presented by the Aiel to Cairhien in 566 NE. It was a gift in return for the people of the region giving water to the Aiel shortly after the Breaking. It grew for four hundred years before King Laman cut it down to build himself a throne.
