Child of the Dragon is a title with which the Green Man addresses Rand al'Thor when they meet in the Blight near the Eye of the World. There are reasons to believe that the Green Man was referring to the Da'shain Aiel who served the Aes Sedai before the Breaking of the World. The most telling indicator is that the Nym pauses when he sees Rand with a sword and he notes that such is unusual. He also asks the question: "Do the People of the Dragon return to the First Covenant?"
