! __Ituralde__ POV

[Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] hides in a broken building. [Shadowspawn] swarmed the palace but [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] had soaked it in oil and the [Asha'man] set it afire killing hundreds of [Trollocs]. He and [Yoeli|yoeli] no longer defend the city. They just kill [Shadowspawn]. He and his men hear footsteps and prepare for the worst, but it is [Saldaean|Saldaea] soldiers led by [Bashere|Davram Bashere]. Help has arrived. The soldiers reclaim most of the city but there are still thousands upon thousands on the hills. [Yoeli] died in the fighting. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] is perturbed that [Yoeli] led the fight while [Torkumen|Vram Torkumen] was abandoned, but he never liked [Torkumen|Vram Torkumen]. 

They go to [Torkumen|Vram Torkumen]'s home to view outside the northern wall. The [Trollocs] have retreated but they all know that they will attack again at night. [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] is devastated that the rescuers are not enough and the deaths of [Yoeli], [Rajabi], [Ankaer], [Rossin], [Wakeda] and the others will not be avenged. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] orders [Naeff] to prepare gateways and [Malain] to organize the cavalry. There is a shout and they see a huge force of [Trollocs] coming over the hills. It seems to go on forever. 

[Rand|Rand alThor] appears. He begs forgiveness for not sending help sooner and admits that he failed to secure a truce with the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. [Rand|Rand alThor] angrily says the [Shadow|Creator] will not have [Maradon] and opens a gateway. He and two [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] [Travel|Weaves#t] outside the city to the north. [Rand|Rand alThor] channels and the [Shadowspawn] die by the thousands. [Naeff] cannot believe what he is seeing, so many weaves at once. [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] hears a scream nearby. [Rand|Rand alThor] stops and the clouds clear to a blue sky. The towers to the north are intact. [Rand|Rand alThor]'s attack only affected [Shadowspawn].[1] [Bashere|Davram Bashere] and [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] go to check out the scream. They find [Torkumen|Vram Torkumen] gone mad. His wife jumped to her death. They were [Darkfriends] driven mad by [Rand|Rand alThor]'s power even though they could not see what was happening. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] sends [Vogeler] to see that [Rand|Rand alThor] is cared for.\\

! __Min__ POV

[Min|Min Farshaw] tries to read but she worries about [Rand|Rand alThor]'s emotions that she can feel. She reads a line in her book, "''Light is held before the maw of the infinite void, and all that he is can be seized.''" A gateway opens and [Rand|Rand alThor] stumbles through accompanied by [Evasni] and [Ifeyina]. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] follows with [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] and [Flinn|Damer Flinn]. [Rand|Rand alThor] says he defended [Maradon] to defy the [Dark One|ShaiTan], but it still may have been a mistake. The direct confrontation must happen at [Shayol Ghul] and at the right time. [Rand|Rand alThor] says what is coming will be even grander and more terrible, but he must leave the war to others. [Rand|Rand alThor] says he needs to rest before meeting with the [Borderlanders|Borderlands] tomorrow. [Min|Min Farshaw] tells him that %%green [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]%% returned from her mission with someone. He asks [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] to go with them. As they walk, [Min|Min Farshaw] updates him on her studies. %%ot [Callandor]%% is often called a fearful blade or blade of ruin. The [Jendai Prophecy|Jendai Prophecies] says," and the Blade will bind him by twain." [Min|Min Farshaw] thinks %%ot [Callandor]%% might make [Rand|Rand alThor] weak, open to attack. 

%%green [Merise|Merise Haindehl]%% meets them at the door and lets them in. %%green [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]%% is there with an old man. It is King [Alsalam|Alsalam Saeed Almadar]. [Rand|Rand alThor] says a friend left him a secret, that [Mattin Stepaneos|Mattin Stepaneos den Balgar] was in the [White Tower]. He figured they might have sent sisters to collect other monarchs and they might still not have made it back. [Graendal] never had [Alsalam|Alsalam Saeed Almadar].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] Much like the weave in [TSR,Ch10] where [Rand|Rand alThor] used %%ot [Callandor]%% to clear the [Stone of Tear]. Only now he cleared a much larger area without even an %%ot [angreal|Angreal]%%.
