The ancient nation of Manetheren once lay where the Two Rivers is now located and extended into present-day Ghealdan. It went all the way to Murandy. Ancient Manetheren was destroyed during the Trolloc Wars due to the betrayal by the Amyrlin Tetsuan.

Once Tarmon Gai'don struck, the Two Rivers was led into battle under the banner of Manetheren with Perrin "Goldeneyes" Aybara. After playing such a strong role in the Last Battle, nations soon started recognizing the land as Manetheren.

Present-day Manetheren occupies the land Ghealdan and Amadicia, bordering Andor with the new king, Perrin "Goldeneyes" Aybara leading the nation.
