! __Perrin__ POV

[Perrin] is riding [Stayer] with [Elayne]'s light cavalry, including [Mayeners|Mayene], [Whitecloaks], [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] and some of the [Band|Band of the Red Hand]. It's purposely a small force. There are [Trollocs] outside the [Caemlyn] walls, and the riders shoot arrows into them, causing many of the [Trollocs] to fall, but none started chasing [Perrin]'s forces. [Perrin] vows to continue this tactic until the [Trollocs] give chase.\\

! __Elayne__ POV

A messenger relays to [Elayne] that [Perrin] is continuing to harass the [Trollocs]. [Elayne] is disappointed that it takes too much work to relay information and tells [Birgitte] she wished that they could have made the [ter'angreal|Angreal] work (one that lets you see over distance and one that lets you talk over distance). [Elayne] then quotes a [Lini|Lini Eltring] saying that "wish and want trip the feet." She tells [Birgitte] that she wants to see the battle herself and that she can defend herself, but [Birgitte] does not respond. Finally, [Elayne] says that she'll just go and see the [Trollocs] herself, but then [Birgitte] shows her her own copy of the [Foxhead Medallion] and tells her that she would carry [Elayne] back.

[Elayne] is carrying the [Amyrlin] Seat's ([Egwene]) reply regarding the [Kin] and [Elayne]'s allowance of letting them work in [Andor]. ([ToM,Ch17]) She then sees [Uno] and stops [Moonshadow] so that she can talk with him. [Uno] tries not to swear, but [Elayne] tells him not to worry as [Nynaeve] is not around. He tells her that [Kandor] is in bad shape and that he wants to get back there soon as to not miss any of the fighting. He then heads towards the [Travelling|Weaves] ground. [Elayne] feels [Birgitte] looking at him in a certain way as he's leaving and tells her that there's not time for that.

They arrive back at the command pavillion where [Bashere], [Abell Cauthon], [Gallenne|Bertain Gallenne] and [Trom] are conferring. [Bashere] reports that [Kandor] refugees are flocking to the [Aes Sedai], including many fighting men. [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] is still waiting on [Rand] before moving on to [Shayol Ghul] and the [Borderlanders|Borderlands] are holding the [Gap] but they're considering a controlled retreat. It's clear to [Elayne] that they need to get the [Trollocs] at [Caemlyn] to charge them sooner rather than later in order to finish that battle and redistribute the soldiers to other battles.

! __Androl__ POV

[Androl] has been drugged by some drink that has made him drowsy and unable to [channel|One Power].[1] [Emarin|Algarin Pendaloan] is nearby. He has not been [Turned|Weaves] yet, but he seems close to breaking. The thirteen men that [Taim] had been using for it are exhausted and [Taim] is angry at them. %%red [Pevara]%% 
had also been given the tea and is knocked out, which also angered [Taim] because he wanted to Turn her next.

[Abors] and [Mishraile] pull %%red [Toveine Gazal]%% into the room. [Abors] had joined [Taim] willingly even before the Turning had begun. [Taim] orders his men to [Turn|Weaves] [Toveine|Toveine Gazal] next, but his attention is on a disc in his hands[2]. [Taim] puts the disc in a pounch and tells [Mishraile] to come with him and that "it's time."\\

! __Lan__ POV

[Lan], [Kaisel|Kaisel Noramaga] and [Easar|Easar Togita] are riding towards the battlefront. [Ethenielle|Ethenielle Cosaru Noramaga] and her retinue, which includes [Baldhere] and [Ramsin|Kalyan Ramsin], join them. [Narishma] and his [Aes Sedai] approach them and tell them that [Dreadlords][3], maybe as many as two dozen, are [channeling|One Power]. [Agelmar] says that the [Dreadlords] will cut through them easily. [Lan] knows that the [Gap] is now lost and tells [Agelmar] to retreat and asks [Narishma] if the [Asha'man] can do anything. [Narishma] says they could try to attack the [Dreadlords], but that would make themselves targets, with so many on the other side. [Lan] tells [Narishma] to go to [Elayne] and bring back [channelers|One Power] to cover their retreat. [Agelmar] yells for the retreat and has the archers come forward to target the [Dreadlords] and cover the soldiers.

! __Elayne__ POV

[Elayne] is in the [Braem Wood] and she remembers a story about the woods and [Birgitte]. [Birgitte] once led a band of thieves out of the woods. She also robbed the Queen of [Aldeshar]. A messenger arrives and tells them that the [Trollocs] took the bait and are now following [Perrin] and his forces towards them.

[Elayne], on [Moonshadow], hears something in the forest. She embraces the [Source|True Source] and is able to tell that it's [Perrin] and his forces, riding hard towards them, with [Trollocs] close behind. [Elayne] orders the archers to the fore and the [Two Rivers] men do so, but she has to tell them that the first set coming towards them are their own men. [Elayne] is worried that the archers will hit their own men, but [Tam] assures her that they can hit their intended targets. She finally gives the order for the archers to loose their arrows, and the [Two Rivers] men fire and hit the targets, especially the [Trolloc] archers. [Birgitte] admits that it was fine archery. As [Perrin]'s forces enter the forest, the archers keep firing. She then orders the crossbowmen to the fore and they start firing, tearing into the [Trollocs]. The [Two Rivers] men climb into the trees to continue firing.

A large group of [Trollocs] break off and head east to the road that borders [Braem Wood] in order to surround [Elayne]'s forces. She tells her forces to fall back, which they do. A short distance into the forest and they encounter [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] and her soldiers standing along ranks of pikes and halberds. [Elayne] tells them to start falling back as soon as the [Trollocs] hit because they want to draw the [Trollocs] in further. She continues onward with her [Queen's Guard] toward the roadway. She hears explosions, which mean that slingmen were tossing [Aludra]'s  roarsticks into the trees at the [Trollocs].
 The [Band of the Red Hand] has setup nearly one hundred [dragons] in four ranks across the roadway.
She arrives at the roadway just as several [Fades] lead the [Trollocs] onto the road further down. The [Band of the Red Hand] has setup nearly one hundred [dragons] in four ranks across the roadway. [Talmanes] is atop a pile of boxes overlooking everything. [Talmanes] gives the order and then rank after rank open fire on the [Fades] and [Trollocs]. When the smoke clears, thousands of [Trollocs] are in pieces, with no sign of the [Fades] at all. Even nearby trees were shattered. [Elayne] asks [Birgitte] what she thinks, and she replies that they're messy, imprecise and very effective. [Birgitte] says she doesn't like what this means for future battles, but [Elayne] says this means there won't be any more wars because of these.
