The Innkeeper and guests try to make sense of Rand and his party. No one believes Rand's story, as usual. He doesn't look likes he from the west, Selene doesn't look like she's from Cairhien in the east, and why are they traveling with an Ogier? Rand's has a conversation with a Cairhienin military captain. Daes Dae'mar begins. Rand has no idea what he's fallen into, and that is his greatest strength. We believe Lanfear quickly dismisses herself so as not to be discovered by the captain who would know she's not from the local nobility. She disappears in the night, but leaves Rand a note. Captain Caldevwin has assembled an “Escort” of fifty men, to take the suspicious Rand, Hurin, and Loial toward the capital.
