It is [almost] unquestionably Earth. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 07:42:56 PM
In Eye of the World, mention is made of the giant Mosc, with his arrows of fire (or lances. something), Lenn who flew to the moon in the belly of an Eagle, and his daughter Salya who walked among the stars.

Moscow (with nuclear weapons), John Glenn, Sally Ride.

EDIT: Found a good link.

* John Glenn: "Tell us about Lenn," Egwene called. "How he flew to the moon in the belly of an eagle made of fire. Tell about his daughter Salya walking among the stars." (Eagle has landed.../Lenn may be a merger of LEM (lunar module) and Glenn)
* Salya: Sally Ride? Or Salyut, the space station [Douglas Cole].
* Moscow, ICBMs: Mosk the Giant, with his Lance of Fire that could reach around the world.
* America::Merk the other giant.
* Queen Elizabeth::Alsbet, queen of all. (Remains of British Empire/Commonwealth?)
* Mother Theresa: Materese the Healer, Mother of the Wondrous Ind
* Anne Landers: Anla, the wise counselor?
