Near the city there's some archeological dig, Rand gets new visions. The guards chase them away. This is supposed to be important that it got its own chapter? Because I see no significance of it. There's no bulding up to this, there's no lore connecting us to it, there's no forshadowing here, just some meaingless rambling, which isn't even new.

They go into a village. Where we of course learn the name of the innkeeper. This must be some fetish. Or RJ just likes pub, and is/was an alcoholic. This sounds like the outscirts of the actualy city, at least RH handles it like that. They rise the attention of some low rank noble, because of the Play of the Houses is so intense, meaning aristocracy is taken VERY seriously here, to the level of cutthroating. This will of course be just some filler-arc.
