Quotes

"Jimar Chubain knows enough to guard against me sneaking men in aboard ships. He has more of the Guards crowded into the harbors than anywhere except at the bridge towers, and not many anywhere else, so far as I can learn." (Gareth Bryne to Egwene; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 16)

"An inconsequential wound, Saerin Sedai, in the glory of a fight such as this" (The Gathering Storm, Chapter 41).

"The Tower Guard is next to useless in this fight. With the Seanchan using those....monstrous women, we can barely reach them before being ripped to pieces or blasted to ashes" (To Saerin, The Gathering Storm, Chapter 41)
