! __Moiraine__ POV

The next morning while [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] and [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] are copying, %%amyrlin [Tamra|Tamra Ospenya]%% walks in just as [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] hides her book.[1] She gives [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] a note for %%green [Kerene Nagashi]%%. The [Green Ajah] quarters have swords painted on the doors. There are lots of [Warder] around. %%green [Rina Hafden]%% watches as [Waylin] and [Elyas|Elyas Machera] practice swords. In another room, %%green [Jala Bandevin]%% teaches a new [Warder|Warder] to dance. %%green [Kerene|Kerene Nagashi]%% is in her rooms with her [Warder], [Karile] and [Stepin]. After reading the note, she heads immediately to the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]'s quarters muttering that the note did not say why. 

As [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] returns, she runs into [Siuan|Siuan Sanche]. She delivered a similar note to %%gray [Aisha Raveneos]%% of the [Gray Ajah]. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] figures out that [Tamra|Tamra Ospenya] is choosing them as searchers for the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor]. [Ellid|Ellid Abareim] gave [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] a blacksmith's puzzle last week. The next day %%amyrlin [Tamra|Tamra Ospenya]%% sends messages to %%white [Meilyn Arganya]%%, %%brown [Valera Gorovni]%% of the [Brown Ajah] and %%yellow [Ludice Daneen]%% of the [Yellow Ajah]. All five have a reputation of strict adherence to the law. %%blue [Aeldra Najaf]%% is raised to [Keeper of the Chronicles|Aes Sedai] to replace %%blue [Gitara|Gitara Moroso]%%. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] gives [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] an herb concoction to help her sleep at night.
