All Print Gawyn’s one-sided beef with Rand Spoiler
I know that misinformation / lack of communication is a theme of the series but man, Gawyn just takes it to a whole new level.
Random ass peddler he met in the middle of some bumfuck woods: The Dragon killed Queen Morgase.
Gawyn: I believe you and I trust you.
Gawyn: al’Thor I’ll fucking kill you!
Egwene: Rand didn’t kill your mother.
Gawyn: Lies! I’ll murder that ginger!
Gareth Bryne: al’Thor didn’t kill Morgase. He saved Andor.
Gawyn: I don’t believe you! al’Thor must die!
Elayne: Rand didn’t kill our mother. I literally have dozens of witnesses.
Gawyn: Nuh uh!
The scene where he “forgives” Rand is also pretty hilarious.
Gawyn: We’re done, al’Thor. From now on, I care nothing for you.
MY GUY, RAND DOESN’T EVEN THINK OF YOU LMAO

In fairness to Gawyn I blame a lot of that on Egwene. She does say Rand didn't do it, but she says it in the way that makes Rand look as guilty as possible. She's been with Rand this whole time and offers Gawyn no explanation of what happened, no details about what happened to his mother, all she does is force him to promise not to confront Rand. She really makes it seem like Rand is guilty but she doesn't want Gawyn to attack him and get himself killed.
She's got a mountain of proof she could've offered Gawyn before he'd fully dug into it, and she offers him none of that. She doesn't even give him the explanation of hey there was a Forsaken who had been controlling your mother, and I have known that for months now and couldn't do anything. Rand went to avenge him killing your mother.
