! __Tuon__ POV

[Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] is in her cabin in the ''[Victory of Kidron]''. [Selucia], [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag]'s %%ot [so'jhin|Seanchan (People)]%% and chief maid, shaves her head then dresses her. In secret, [Selucia] is also a trained fighter and her bodyguard. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] sees an albatross, an omen of victory. Omens are the same whether in [Imfaral] or [Noren M'Shar].[1] [Selucia] was a cradle-gift to [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag]. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] wishes she were more impressive. Two of her siblings are dead and two more disgraced and made %%ot [da'covale|Old Tongue]%%. [Anath|Semirhage] is [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag]'s %%ot [Soe'feia|Seanchan (People)]%% or Truthspeaker. Her previous Truthspeaker, [Neferi], died in a fall two years ago. For some reason, the [Empress] named [Anath|Semirhage] instead of [Neferi]'s planned successor.[2] [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] asks for a veil instead of her lace cap. This marks her as just one of the Blood, not the [Daughter of the Nine Moons|Tuon]. That is because she ordered a %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% beaten last night and now regrets it. She feels almost %%ot [sei'mosiev|Old Tongue]%% and must make amends to restore %%ot [sei'taer|Old Tongue]%%. 

She goes to the second cabin where six of her %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% and their %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% await. She tells [Ianelle] to give treats to [Lidya], the %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% she had beaten. She ordered [Lidya] to tell her future and did not like what she heard.[3] The other %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% are [Dali], [Dani], [Charral], [Sera] and [Mylen|Sheraine Caminelle]. [Mylen|Sheraine Caminelle] was [Aes Sedai].[4] [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] bought her at [Shon Kifar] and trained her herself;[5] she was especially difficult and nearly died.[6] [Catrona] now holds her leash. 

As [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] leaves her cabins, [Musenge|musenge], captain of [Deathwatch Guard|Seanchan (People)]s, notes her veil and assigns only two guards. [Deathwatch Guard|Seanchan (People)] armor is lacquered blood red and nearly black green.[7] There are also a dozen [Ogier] Gardeners standing guard. [Yuril], her secretary, bows. He is also her Hand, in charge of her Seekers. [Ronde Macura] prostrates herself. In [Tanchico] she begged to be taken into service and provides lots of information about the [Aes Sedai] she hates. 

[Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] goes to the quarterdeck where Captain [Tehan] and [Anath|Semirhage] are. [Anath|Semirhage] chides [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] for wearing the veil over a little thing like beating [Lidya]. She continues berating [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] viciously. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] recalls that [Algwyn], the last man to sit on the [Crystal Throne] almost a thousand years ago, let his %%ot [Soe'feia|Seanchan (People)]%% get away with slapping him in public. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] tells [Anath|Semirhage] that she does not need a penance. [Anath|Semirhage]'s last penance left [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] crying for days. 

[Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] says that High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] is to be commended for her success, but she is to be watched for ambition. [Anath|Semirhage] says she is sure [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] is loyal. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] then says that she must make contact with the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor] so that he can kneel before the [Crystal Throne] before [Tarmon Gai'don|Creator] according to the [Prophecies of the Dragon|Karaethon Prophecies].[8] [Anath|Semirhage] is pleased and tells [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] to be careful not to let him learn how dangerous she is to him.[9] They approach the harbor of [Ebou Dar].

\\[#2] [Anath|Semirhage] is actually [Semirhage].
\\[#3] [Lidya|lidya] apparently has the [Foretelling|Weaves]. The details of her [Foretelling|Weaves#f] are finally revealed in [KoD,Ch36].
\\[#4] [Mylen|Sheraine Caminelle]'s real name is [Sheraine Caminelle]. ([WH,Ch19])
\\[#5] Indicating that [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] has the latent ability to [channel|True Source].
\\[#6] The death of her [Warder|Warder] was a contributing factor. ([TGH,Ch43])
\\[#7] "Nearly black green" sounds exactly like Charleston Green, a paint color commonly used in Charleston, South Carolina, Robert Jordan's home!
\\[#8] This quote is from the [Essanik Cycle|Karaethon Prophecies], a different set of prophecies from [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)].
\\[#9] This can only mean the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets] that High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] now has. ([WH,Ch21])
