Summary[]
Point of view: Elaida
Elaida meets with some of the Sitters trying to determine the accuracy of reports on Seanchan damane. They have plans to put Kings and Queens of their own choosing back in Cairhien, Tear, and Illian. The Rebel Aes Sedai are stuck in Murandy for the winter.
After the meeting, Alviarin Freidhen instructs Elaida to recant some of her directives and issue new and more disruptive orders. Elaida believed she was free since Alviarin had left the Tower for 2 weeks. Alviarin sends the Mistress of Novices to Elaida to remind her that Alviarin is in charge. Elaida hopes Alviarin's blackmail an manipulation are exposed.
Point of view: Alviarin Freidhen
Alviarin reports to Mesaana. Mesaana reminds her to not rise above her station. Alviarin prostrates herself in front of Mesaana who is pacified. Mesaana is notified of Eliada's decrees being distributed. Alviarin suggests Eliada's removal but Mesaana brushes it aside. Instead Mesaana redirects Alviarin to inquire about the Ajah heads' secret meetings, while regretting the loss of Galina for these matters. Alviarin notes Mesaana isn't omniscient for not knowing the information and notices parts of Mesaana's dress through her illusion, and hopes to find Mesaana unaware in the White Tower.
