It is twenty years since the Seanchan gained the Andoran war machines and Ladalin has only ever known war. She goes to a meeting of the survivors of the Council of Twenty Two, of which only three clan chiefs and two Wise Ones remain. The Tardaad are without a chief, and do not know how to replace one now that Rhuidean has fallen. Tamaav arrives and tells them the White Tower has fallen. The other Wise One, Mora says they should go to the Waste and seek penance for failing to maintain the peace the Dragon wanted. Jorshem agrees and they ask her thoughts, looking to her above all others as she is the last of the Dragon blooded. She says they should go back and regroup. Takai blames Rand for abandoning them, but Ladalin says Aiel take responsibility for themselves.
