Moiraine has warned Rand to trust no woman of the White Tower other than herself now that Siuan has been deposed, and Elaida has taken her place as Amyrlin. Rand and his Aiel armies have reached the Jangai Pass and are preparing to cross the Dragon Wall. A small town just inside of it has been sacked by the Shaido, and as Rand nears it he relaizes he can see the bodies of hanged resisters lining the town wall, spurring him to remember a similar scene witnessed through the eyes of Lews Therin during the War of Power. Those that were not murdered, were taken as slaves. We hear that the Shaido had passed through the area 6 days previously, making much better time than Rand's troops. The Maidens begin to pressure Rand to use their soldiers more willingly.
