! __Min__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] and [Min|Min Farshaw] arrive in [Bandar Eban] with two [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear], [Lerian] and [Heidia], and [Naeff]. The city is terrible, full of filth, illness and starvation. [Rand|Rand alThor] sent [Tam|Tam alThor] and an [Asha'man] to the [Two Rivers] to gather them for the [Last Battle|Creator]. [Min|Min Farshaw] has [viewing|viewings]s:

* Dark clouds pushed away by the sunlight's warmth. [Rand|Rand alThor], a brilliant white sword held in his hand, wielded against one of black, held by a faceless darkness.
* Trees, growing healthy and full.
* An inn in the [Two Rivers] with the mark of the Dragon's Fang inlaid on the door, a sign of victory and hope, not darkness or hate.
* A silver axe, the man will be a leader in the [Last Battle|Creator].[1]
* A woman will be trained in the [White Tower] and become [Aes Sedai].
* Another man will save her life.

[Rand|Rand alThor] goes to the man [Min|Min Farshaw] saw as a leader, [Durnham]. He was in the King's Guard before the king disappeared and Lady [Milisair Chadmar] disbanded them. [Rand|Rand alThor] names him Captain and tells him to gather others. He spots [Votabek] and [Redbord]. [Rand|Rand alThor] orders [Naeff] to bring weapons, armor and uniforms from the [Stone|Stone of Tear]. The men agree that [Lain] will not pay them so they will work for [Durnham]. In an hour [Rand|Rand alThor] has five hundred soldiers and they have uniforms and armor. [Rand|Rand alThor] then orders [Naeff] to bring [Aes Sedai] for [Healing|Weaves#h] the sick. They go to the docks next. The harbor is full of [Sea Folk] vessels. [Iralin] still runs the docks. Lady [Milisair Chadmar] fled an hour after [Rand|Rand alThor] left and the other [Council of Merchants|Arad Doman] members within a day. They go to one of the ships, the ''[Whitecap]'' to speak to the [Sailmistress|Sea Folk] [Milis din Shalada Three Stars]. There are spills sacks of spoiled grain on the deck. [Rand|Rand alThor] opens a new sack and the grain is fine. [Rand|Rand alThor] names [Iralin] to the [Council of Merchants|Arad Doman] and orders him to distribute the food. He then names [Iralin] Steward of the city and [Durnham] his Captain. [Rand|Rand alThor] says he will spend a day there to get things stable before he leaves.
