Something not right

When Perrin Aybara and his party conduct business in So Habor, he and companions see and feel that something is not quite right in the town. They see what could be the beginnings of The Pattern unraveling with the first instance of the dead walking.

"But fear of the dead only explained so much. Maybe people were too frightened to think about washing, but it seemed unlikely that fear would take everyone that way. and weevils thriving in winter, in freezing cold? There was worse things in So Habor than spirits walking, and every instinct told him to leave at a dead run, without looking back."
   —Perrin Aybara's thoughts on So Habor.

The grain that is in the warehouses that the merchants try to sell is infested with weevils. Wagons are brought from So Habor to Perrin's camp, after the grain is winnowed.
