! __Rand__ POV

It is the day after [TPoD,Ch14]. [Charl Gedwyn] and [Manel Rochaid] arrive with eight [Dedicated|AshaMan] and forty [soldiers|AshaMan]. [Gedwyn|Charl Gedwyn], the leader, calls himself [Tsorovan'm'hael|Charl Gedwyn] or "Storm Leader" in the [Old Tongue]. [Rochaid|Manel Rochaid], second in command, calls himself [Baijan'm'hael|Manel Rochaid] or "Attack Leader." [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] mutters about killing the [Asha'man]. 

In his dreams [Rand|Rand alThor] sometimes sees himself as [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] and sometimes as another blurred but familiar face.[1] This face seems to surprise [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] as well. The camp prepares to move. [Weiramon|Weiramon Saniago] and [Rodrivar Tihera], Captain of the [Defenders of the Stone|Tear (City)], accompany [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Rand|Rand alThor] is sending High Lady [Rosana] to the north with [Gueyam]'s and [Maraconn]'s men. He is sending [Spiron Narettin] east with men loyal to others of the [Council of Nine|Illian (Country)]. He is sending [Tolmeran] south with a similar troop. 

[Rand|Rand alThor] opens a gateway (getting dizzy again) to north of [Illian|Illian (City)] near the [Causeway of the Northern Star|Illian (City)] and [Travels|Weaves#t] with a large contingent including [Marcolin|Demetre Marcolin], [Weiramon|Weiramon Saniago], [Maraconn], [Gueyam], [Aracome], [Gregorin Panar|Gregorin Panar den Lushenos], three others of the [Council of Nine|Illian (Country)], [Semaradrid|Semaradrid Maravin], [Dashiva|OsanGar], [Flinn|Damer Flinn], [Adley|Jonan Adley] and all the [Asha'man] except [Narishma|Jahar Narishma] who has not yet returned. 

[Semaradrid|Semaradrid Maravin]'s House [Maravin|Cairhien (Country)] has old alliances with House [Riatin|Cairhien (Country)]. He is also accompanied by [Eagan Padros] and others of the [Illianers|Illian (Country)] who followed [Brend|Sammael]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sends [Morr|Fedwin Morr] into the city and the rest make camp. All the servants including [Boreane Carivin] were left behind so [Hopwil|Eben Hopwil] brings refreshments to [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Rand|Rand alThor] mulls over his plans. He wants to get back to [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] to deal with the [Sea Folk] and [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]. He wonders what became of [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] and [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera]. He thinks [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] are in [Murandy] with the [Salidar Aes Sedai]. He wants to talk to [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] about cleansing %%ot [saidin|Said]%%. 

Later on, [Narishma|Jahar Narishma] returns with a bundle.[2] He is angry that [Rand|Rand alThor] did not tell him everything, but [Rand|Rand alThor] insists that he did.[3]

The next morning a thousand men of the [Legion of the Dragon] join them from [Illian|Illian (City)]. [Rand|Rand alThor] rides [Tai'daishar]. [Dashiva|OsanGar] opens a gateway to the [Silver Road] east of the [Nemarellin Mountains]. The [Silver Road] runs north to [Lugard] and the [Gold Road] runs north to [Far Madding]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sends most of the [Asha'man] out to gather additional forces, but because of the weather it takes several days. Arrivals include High Lords [Sunamon|Sunamon Haellin] and [Torean|Torean Andiama], [Bertome Saighan] ([Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]'s cousin) and [Ailil Riatin] ([Toram Riatin]'s sister) of [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)], [Dalthanes Annallin], [Amondrid Osiellin], [Doressin Chuliandred] who supported [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan], each with fifty to a hundred retainers, and High Lady [Anaiyella|Anaiyella Narencelona]. Finally, after eight days, [Davram Bashere] arrives. When [Bashere|Davram Bashere] asks, [Rand|Rand alThor] explains that he would rather pay the butcher's bill with enemies than with friends.
