! __Egeanin__ POV

[Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] and [Floran Gelb] are sitting at a table in the [Garden of Silver Breezes]. She uses the name "Mistress Elidar." It is the most expensive wineshop in the city and sits on a hill on the [Calpene|Tanchico] peninsula. The proprietress, [Selindrin], does not allow weapons inside. [Gelb|Floran Gelb] gives her a bag that contains an %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%% and she gives him a bag of silver coins in return. He brought her two others before. She has him looking for certain women.[1] [Gelb|Floran Gelb] has found several women matching the description, but they were all mistakes. One of them, Lady [Leilwin], was sent to the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. [Gelb|Floran Gelb] asks if she would pay him if he stirred up trouble. He offers to sell a rumor he heard from a bodyservant of [Lord Brys|Brys (Tarabon)] about the [Assembly of Lords|Tarabon] choosing a new [Panarch|Tarabon]. She declines to pay him. He then asks where she is from, but [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] dismisses him. As she is sitting there, she sees a [Sea Folk] raker enter the harbor.[2] She starts to rise to leave when she notices [Bayle Domon] leaving another table. She waits until he leaves before she leaves. As she leaves, [Jaichim Carridin] enters wearing a sword. [Selindrin] greets him, ignoring the sword. Outside [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] notes the destitution and anarchy and wonders why High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] is waiting.

! __Jaichim Carridin__ POV

[Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] sits at a table with some [Taraboner|Tarabon] noblemen. All wear masks to hide their identity. He recalls the news he received three months ago about his youngest sister, [Dealda], being carried off by a [Fade] from her bridal feast and two months ago about his cousin found skinned alive.[3] King [Andric] wants the [Children of the Light] to help restore order in [Tanchico]. The [Panarch|Tarabon] was killed recently. [Andric] wants [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault], his lover, to be the new [Panarch|Tarabon], but many of the Lords of the Assembly do not agree. [Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] agrees to help if his conditions are met. One of the lords, who [Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] assumes is [Andric] himself, assures him. The people will riot if they learn of this plot. [Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] then leaves and heads back to his residence. Outside, he is disgusted by the swarming throng and wishes [Tamrin] would just get rid of them. He is more concerned about the [Dragonsworn] than the other rebels. Back at his residence, a palace on the [Verana|Tanchico], he realizes he is not alone. [Liandrin] is also there. When she calls him by his alias, '[Bors|Jaichim Carridin],' he tries to attack her, but she binds him with the [One Power]. She reminds him of the meeting where [Ba'alzamon|Ishamael] showed them [Mat Cauthon|Matrim Cauthon], [Perrin Aybara] and [Rand al'Thor|Rand alThor].[4] He panics thinking she means to kill him for failing to kill [Rand|Rand alThor] who he believes is still in the west. He offers her his sister [Vanora] in [Carmera|Other Locations]. She tells him that she knows he is planning to move his troops into the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace]. She tells him to hold the Palace and send the [Panarch|Tarabon]'s soldiers away. He says that is impossible because of the [Panarch|Tarabon] controls them. [Liandrin] says that the [Panarch|Tarabon] will be dealt with and leaves. [Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] woefully wonders if there is any way out for him.

! __Liandrin__ POV

After killing a guard who saw her, [Liandrin] goes back to the house on the [Verana|Tanchico] where she and the other ten of the [Black Ajah] are staying. The house belonged to a [Darkfriend|Darkfriends] merchant. She wishes she had [Chesmal|Chesmal Emry]'s or [Rianna|Rianna Andomeran]'s ability to kill directly with the [One Power]. It is related to [Healing|Weaves]. She does not think anyone knows they are in [Tanchico].[5] At the house, one of the servants, [Gyldin|Moghedien], directs her to a drawing room. [Liandrin] is irritated that she does not act like a servant.[6] She is further irritated that only [Eldrith|Eldrith Jhondar] and [Marillin|Marillin Gemalphin] of the [Brown Ajah], [Jeaine|Jeaine Caide] and [Asne|Asne Zeramene] of the [Green Ajah], and [Rianna Andomeran] of the [White Ajah] are there.[7] [Liandrin] has heard [Asne|Asne Zeramene] voice her regret over leaving her [Warder] behind more than once.[8] [Liandrin] tells the others about [Jaichim|Jaichim Carridin]'s plans. They have orders from the [White Tower] to control [Rand|Rand alThor], not to kill him, but [Jaichim|Jaichim Carridin] has been told to kill him. [Rianna|Rianna Andomeran] surmises that it means dissension among the [Forsaken].[9] [Asne|Asne Zeramene] suggests the [fluted black rod] as a defense if they get caught between warring [Forsaken]. [Jeaine|Jeaine Caide] is reluctant since she burned a hole through their ship when she tried it. [Asne|Asne Zeramene] comments that she thinks [Rand|Rand alThor] is good looking.[10] [Liandrin] notes [Gyldin|Moghedien] in the room and angrily sends her away. [Eldrith|Eldrith Jhondar] has been trying to find something that the women want. She knows it is in the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace] and that it must be a %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%.[11] [Liandrin] thinks "Let people bend knee as had been promised when she first forswore old oaths for new."[12]

! __Egeanin__ POV

[Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] enters the small house where she is staying and realizes that she is not alone. The intruder identifies himself as a [Seeker for Truth|Seanchan (People)] by showing her a small plaque and by showing the raven and tower tattoos he has. The raven is the symbol of the Imperial family and the [Tower of Ravens|Seandar] a symbol of Imperial justice. [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] remembers an old story of a fool young lord and lady who had themselves tattooed while drunk about three hundred years ago. The [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] [Empress|empress] had them brought to the [Court of the Nine Moons|Seandar] to scrub floors.[13] She asks the [Seeker|Almurat Mor] why he is here and he replies that he serves the High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] and the [Corenne|Seanchan (People)], for the [Empress]. He arrived here on [Bayle Domon]'s ship. It seems that several %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% deserted at [Falme]. High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] told [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] directly that the deserters needed to be captured or killed.[14] He asks her to sketch maps of [Tanchico] and its defenses. He takes the sketches and leaves. [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] goes down to the basement where she holds a %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%%, [Bethamin|Bethamin Zeami], captive. She has not turned her in because she discovered by accident that an %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%% works on her. [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] realizes that this means many %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% can probably [channel|True Source] and wonders if that is why [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] wants all the deserter %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% killed.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] She was ordered to track down the %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% who deserted at [Falme].\\
[#2] This could be the ''[Wavedancer]''.\\
[#3] He has lost no more relatives since then because [Ishamael] is now (temporarily) out of the picture.\\
[#4] The [Darkfriend|Darkfriends] social. ([TGH,Prologue])\\
[#5] So [Amico|Amico Nagoyin] was telling the truth and [Liandrin] does not know about it. ([TSR,Ch5])\\

[#8] There have been questions about what the [Black Ajah] do with their [Warder]. Some answers appear in [WH,Ch10].\\
[#9] This suggests that these women are taking orders from a [Forsaken] who is hiding in the [White Tower]. Does this mean their orders came from [Mesaana]?\\
[#10] When did [Asne|Asne Zeramene] see [Rand|Rand alThor]? In the [Stone of Tear] or was she at [Fal Dara]? Another possibility is that she was at the [Darkfriend|Darkfriends] meeting where [Ishamael] showed his image ([TGH,Prologue]).\\
[#11] The [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets]. ([TSR,Ch54])\\
[#12] A clear indication that the [Black Ajah] sisters use the [Oath Rod] to remove the three oaths and swear new ones.\\
