! __Perrin__ POV

Riding into [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], the group includes [Rand|Rand alThor], [Min|Min Farshaw], [Loial], [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin], [Nurelle|Havien Nurelle], [Dashiva|OsanGar], [Sulin], [Chiad], [Bain]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is still worried about [Faile|Zarine Bashere]; the [Two Rivers] men brought her horse [Swallow] with them from [Caemlyn]. Trying to solace [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], [Loial] says he wants to marry [Erith]. He then looks shocked and accuses [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] of doing a %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%% job on him. They soon reach the broad, stone paved road that leads to [Jangai Pass]. As they near [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] they see a new banner over the city, a silver diamond on a yellow and red checked field, House [Saighan|Cairhien]. [Dashiva|OsanGar] suggests a gateway into city. [Rand|Rand alThor] says no, they would have to wait till after dark to know place well enough.[1] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] smells wild mix of emotions from [Dashiva|OsanGar] and is convinced that he is mad. [Damer Flinn] and most of the men stay behind while a small group, [Rand|Rand alThor], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], [Loial], eight [Asha'man][2], [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin], [Nurelle|Havien Nurelle], [Aram], [Min|Min Farshaw] and three dozen [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear], enters the city. They pass through what used to be the [Foregate|Cairhien (City)] and enter through the [Jangai Gates|Cairhien (City)]. The mood in the city is somber, not what [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] expected for [High Chasaline|Calendar]. In the palace they are met by [Camaille Nolaisen] and [Selande Darengil], [Aiel] society girls. [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin] notes that it is the ninth sunset since the coronation.[3] They tell [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] that [Faile|Zarine Bashere] is one of [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]'s attendants. They all head to the [Grand Hall|Sun Palace].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)
[#1] In [TPoD,Ch5], [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] notes that holding %%ot [saidar|Said]%% can cut the learning time down to a few minutes. With his [Age of Legends] knowledge, [Dashiva|OsanGar] surely knows this. Is he playing his cards close, or does it only work for women? Or did Robert Jordan make a last minute invention in [The Path of Daggers]?
\\[#2] From previous and subsequent chapters we know these include [Dashiva|OsanGar], [Fager Neald], [Karldin|Karldin Manfor], [Jur Grady], [Eben Hopwil], [Fedwin Morr], [Jonan Adley] and [Jahar Narishma].
\\[#3] [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]'s statement in [ACoS,Ch5] is being corrected to agree with this timing.
