! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] awakens from a series of dreams:

* [Rand|Rand alThor], wearing different masks, until suddenly one of those false faces was no longer a mask, but him.
* [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and a [Tinker|TuathaAn],[1] frenziedly hacking their way through brambles with axe and sword, unaware of the cliff that lay ahead. And the brambles screamed with human voices they did not hear.
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], weighing two [Aes Sedai] on a huge set of balance scales, and on his decision depended. . . . She could not say what; something vast; the world, perhaps.

[Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is waking her despite [Halima|Halima Saranov]'s protests. [Halima|Halima Saranov] now stays in [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s tent; [Chesa], [Meri] and [Selame] share a tent nearby. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is glad [Delana|Delana Mosalaine] can spare [Halima|Halima Saranov]; [Nisao|Nisao Dachen]'s [Healing|Weaves#h] does not help her headaches at all. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] takes [Egwene|Egwene alVere] to [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]. 

It is snowing; from [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s report [Egwene|Egwene alVere] passed on only that the [Bowl of the Winds] had been used. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is vexed that [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] never told her about the [Kin]. [Leane|Leane Sharif] guards the tent while [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] reports an army of [Andorans|Andor] and [Murandians|Murandy] to the north led by [Pelivar|Pelivar Coelan] and [Arathelle|Arathelle Renshar]. They are near the [Armahn River]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] to arrange a meeting with them. [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]'s army is now thirty thousand. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] asks how long the army will have to rest before laying siege to [Tar Valon]. [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] asks for a minimum of ten days, preferably a month. He tells her that [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] has increased the [Tower Guard|White Tower] to fifty thousand. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] that she plans to do away with the Three Oaths. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is shocked despite that fact that she has lied about [Logain|Logain Ablar] and the [Red Ajah]. She lectures [Egwene|Egwene alVere] on the value of the Three Oaths.[2] 

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] finally realizes that [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is in love with [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]. She tells [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] to send [Beonin|Beonin Marinye], [Anaiya] and [Myrelle|Myrelle Berengari] north.[3] They have five [Warder] between them.[4] [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] will also tell [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar], [Carlinya], [Morvrin] and [Nisao|Nisao Dachen] prepare for the morning.[5] [Egwene|Egwene alVere] hopes she will be successful as [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] like [Myriam Copan], [Gerra Kishar] and [Sereille Bagand] and not a failure like [Shein Chunla]. She heads back to her tent.
