While Nynaeve takes pleasure in Moiaine's frustrated attempts to direct Rand's actions, Moiraine informs the prisoners and their jailers that she has made arrangements for the captives to be sent by river boat to Tar Valon, to be tried, and undoubtedly executed by the women of the Tower. We'll spend a bit of time explaining the over-arching timeline of Moiaine's messages to the tower, the assassination of Joiya and Amico, the deposition of Siuan Sanche and the split in the Tower, Nynaeve and Elayne's activities in Tanchico, Rand, Egwene, and Aviendha in the Aiel Waste. Their threads will be spread apart, before the are woven together again. Moiraine explains to us a little of the rules that govern the worlds of the Snakes and Foxes, as well as the existence of the red-stone doorway underneath the Stone and how it works. Finally, the three Accepted hatch a plan to help Elayne make her feelings for Rand clear to him.
