! __Rand__ POV

[Liah|liah] opens the door to [Rand|Rand alThor]'s quarters and admits a servant named [Bari|bari]. He announces that three [Ogier] have arrived. [Liah|liah] and [Cassin|cassin] accompany [Rand|Rand alThor] as [Bari|bari] leads him to a courtyard. [Sulin], [Urien|urien] and dozens of other [Aiel] are with the [Ogier]. They introduce themselves as [Haman son of Dal son of Morel|../characters/ogier/haman] [Covril daughter of Ella daughter of Soong|../characters/ogier/covril], and [Erith|erith] daughter of [Iva|iva] daughter of [Alar|alar]. [Rand|Rand alThor] remembers meeting [Erith|erith] at [Stedding Tsofu]. [Jalani|jalani] and the other [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] from this morning are all with [Sulin]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sends them all away so he can talk to the [Ogier] alone. They came looking for [Loial]. Elder [Alar|alar] of [Stedding Tsofu] told them that [Rand|Rand alThor] was looking after him. [Covril|covril] is his mother and she plans to marry him to [Erith|erith]. [Loial] has been gone over five years. [Rand|Rand alThor] recalls another [Ogier] who stayed Outside for ten years. [Haman|haman] replies that five including [Dalar|dalar] stayed outside that long. Three died shortly after returning and the other two were invalids. [Rand|Rand alThor] then tells them that [Loial] is in the [Two Rivers]. [Haman|haman]'s wife, [Voniel|voniel], is [Covril|covril]'s sister. [Rand|Rand alThor] asks if [Haman|haman] will show him the location of all the [Waygates|Ways] and explains that [Shadowspawn] are using the [Ways]. He tried visiting [Stedding Tsofu] himself but Elder [Alar|alar] would not listen to a human.[1] [Rand|Rand alThor] wonders why the [Forsaken] did not open gateways and pour thousands of [Trollocs] into the palace.[2] [Haman|haman] agrees and [Rand|Rand alThor] calls for maps to be brought. [Ogier] did not build [Amador], [Chachin|../geography/kandor/chachin/index], [Shol Arbela|../geography/arafel/shol_arbela/index] or [Fal Moran|../geography/shienar/fal_moran/index]. [Bandar Eban] was built on the ruins of a city destroyed in the [War of the Hundred Years]. That city was built where a city vanished in the [Trolloc Wars]. [Haman|haman] is amazed that humans do not remember their old cities such as [Mafal Dadaranell|Fal Dara], [Ancohima|../history/aelgar/index] or [Londaren Cor|../history/eharon/londaren_cor]. [Sulin] brings lots of maps. [Rand|Rand alThor] notes vanished countries on the older maps. [Hardan|../history/hardan/index] was north of [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)]. [Maredo|../history/maredo/index] was between [Tear|Tear (Country)] and [Illian|Illian (Country)]. [Caralain|../history/caralain/index], [Almoth|../history/almoth/index], [Mosara|../history/mosara/index] and [Irenvelle|../history/irenvelle/index] all vanished. [Haman|haman] goes over the maps marking the %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% where there are [Waygates|Ways]. There are seven in the [Borderlands]. There are thirteen in the [Spine of the World|../../geography/spine_world] including one in [Kinslayer's Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger], from [Stedding Shangtai] in the south to [Stedding Qichen|../creatures/ogier/qichen] and [Stedding Sanshen|../creatures/ogier/sanshen] in the north. [Stedding Cantoine|../creatures/ogier/cantoine] is just above the River [Iralell|../geography/rivers/iralell] not far north of [Haddon Mirk]. There are only four in the land west of the [Spine of the World] including the youngest, [Stedding Tsofu] repopulated only six hundred years ago. There are six %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Mountains of Mist]. There are also %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Shadow Coast|../geography/shadow_coast], the [Black Hills|../geography/black_hills], the forests above the River [Ivo|../geography/rivers/ivo] and the mountains above the River [Dhagon|../geography/rivers/dhagon]. There are abandoned %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Spine of the World], the [Mountains of Mist], the [Shadow Coast|../geography/shadow_coast], one on [Almoth Plain] near the [Paerish Swar|../geography/paerish_swar] and one on the north coast of [Toman Head]. [Stedding Sherandu|../creatures/ogier/sherandu] and [Stedding Chandar|../creatures/ogier/chandar] were swallowed by the [Blight]. [Haman|haman] then lists [Ogier] built cities with [Waygates|Ways], [Caemlyn], [Tar Valon], [Tear|Tear (City)], [Illian|Illian (City)], [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], [Maradon], [Ebou Dar] ([Barashta]), [Mafal Dadaranell|Fal Dara], [Ancohima|../history/aelgar/index], [Londaren Cor|../history/eharon/londaren_cor], [Manetheren], [Aren Mador|../history/essenia/index], [Aridhol (City)], [Shaemal|../history/coremanda/index], [Deranbar|../history/jaramide/index], [Braem|../history/coremanda/index], [Condaris|../history/aelgar/index], [Hai Ecorimon|../history/hai_ecorimon/index], [Iman|../history/safer/index]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sees the mark at [Aridhol (City)] and asks [Haman|haman] to show him the [Waygate|Ways] there.[3]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] [Rand|Rand alThor] solves this problem in [LoC,Ch49] and [ACoS,Ch27].
\\[#2] Good question. [Rand|Rand alThor] eventually learns from [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] that gateways kill [Shadowspawn]. ([KoD,Ch19])
\\[#3] It is not clear why [Rand|Rand alThor] is so anxious to find the [Shadar Logoth|Aridhol (City)] [Waygate|Ways] in particular.
