Summary[]
Point of view: Romanda Cassin
Romanda is reading while pondering the food spoilage problem even though weaves are being used to prevent it. Nisao Dachen enters her tent and requests a private meeting. While waiting for Bodewhin Cauthon to leave she wishes something could be done about the older women that have been accepted as novices by Egwene. Nisao is concerned that Lelaine Akashi has asked her to stop investigating the murders of Anaiya Carel and Kairen Stang, saying it is Blue Ajah business. She then informs Romanda that she had orders from Egwene to investigate the deaths and Romanda says she will support her, but she wants reports about the situation.
Theodrin Dabei enters to announce a sitting of the Hall of the Tower. Sheriam is standing outside the tent where the Hall will meet, not allowed in to the meeting without the Amyrlin. More Sitters arrive and they decide to begin even though some are absent. A ward is made to prevent others from listening and only Sitters are allowed to be present. Merise Haindehl is brought in trailed by three Warders, which the Sitters begin to realize are also Asha'man. Cadsuane asked Merise to bring the proposal to the Rebel Aes Sedai after the Dragon Reborn asked her to take care of it. Jahar Narishma enters but before he can make his proposal he announces a man nearby just channeled. Nacelle Kayama is then called forward to show a new weave that can identify the presence of saidin, something the Sisters have never been able to do before. Jahar then makes the offer from Rand which is any Aes Sedai that is loyal to Egwene can bond an Asha'man up to total of forty-seven to compensate for the fifty-one sisters bonded by Asha'man at the Black Tower. He also informs the Hall that saidin is clean now, though not mentioning Rand in this regard.
A consensus is quickly reached to accept the offer since it will allow the sisters to make larger circles without the need for special agreements with the Black Tower. The sisters are told to remember the name Eben Hopwil who died fighting during the battle of Shadar Logoth, killed by a female Forsaken that was channeling saidin. Romanda puts together all of the information she has about the Aes Sedai deaths and says that Halima and Delana should be arrested. When searching for them, the sisters realize they have fled the camp before they can be captured.
