In Tel’aran’rhiod Nynaeve and Elayne find a blue bowl with clouds on it, a ter’angreal that affects weather. They suspect it’s in Ebou Dar. Egwene travels through the infinity between dreams and reality. She gets trapped in Gawyn’s dream where he saves her from Rand then professes his love. Nynaeve and Elayne link with Aes Sedai for the first time to fight bubbles of evil.

Verin and Alanna bring the Two Rivers girls to train at Tar Valon, stopping at Caemlyn, where they all see Rand. Alanna bonds Rand as her Warder, and he lashes out, scaring the girls with his power. Taim will set out looking for men who can channel. Nynaeve spies on the Little Tower meeting with the Red Ajah, unaware someone spies on her too. Theodrin also sees her but says nothing. Nynaeve plans to leave.

Pedron Niall plans to spread a rumor that the black Ajah controls the tower and that the Aes Sedai in Salidar want to renounce their position. He learns of Logain, Ogier steddings gather, and the Sea Folk dock in the south. He believes Murandy and Altara will be his. Morgase believes she must defeat Rand to gain the Lion throne back. She learns that Galad is a whitecloak.

A red Ajah sent by Elaida arrives in Salidar. Logain speaks to Altaran nobles of the intel he received by the red Ajah that helped him wreak havoc in Altara as a false dragon. Elayne teaches novices. Nynaeve studies how to detect men’s channeling with Moghedien. Theodrin tries to help Nynaeve break the self imposed block that only lets her channel when angry.

The band of the red hand moved towards Illian. Sammael wants to be Naeblis and is under orders to not kill Rand. Graendal is likely in Arad Doman. Semirhage tortures Aes Sedai in Shayol Ghul. In Telehranrhiod, the salidar Aes Sedai learn about emissaries sent by Elaida to Rand. She also orders the return of Elayne and a Yellow Ajah has been lowered to accepted, breaking tower law. Demandred spies on Elayne.

Pedron Niall plans to plague Altara and Murandy with “Dragonsworn.” Demandred plans with Messana, Graendal, and Semirhage. Lanfear and Ishamael (I think) are somehow revived by The Dark One and given new bodies.

Demandred is called to Shayol Ghul and the Dark One speaks to him about possibly leading the Forsaken. Min will head towards Rand with an honor escort of Aes Sedai. Gawyn hears of his mother’s supposed death and the Tower Aes Sedai meet with the Shaido. Perrin decides he must return to Rand and Faile governs the Two rivers. Nynaeve continues to study stilling. At least two black ajah are in the tower.
