Nynaeve's point of view:
 
 
 
Nynaeve sits with Elayne and Avhiendha in their apartments, reading Mat's note and wondering what they can do about Carridin and why Tylin does not arrest him. Elayne's behaviour grows increasingly bizarre and she starts weaving disguises, making Nynaeve angry enough to channel. Elayne realises Birgitte must be drunk and it is affecting her. Birgitte returns, complaining that Mat and Beslan can drink too much.
 
 
 
They ask if Mat will be there in the morning and are told he might help them, if they apologise, which angers them, though they still what for. Birgitte tells them he wants an apology for the way that they treated him after he rescued them from the Stone, though he hadn't mentioned either the Black Ajah or the Forsaken being there. Birgitte and Avhiendha both say he deserves both apologies and thanks, which Elayne reluctantly accepts, though Nynaeve refuses.

Setting: North of Dumai's Wells

A hundred miles to the North of Dumai's Wells, Sevanna has gathered twenty thousand Shaido and some, though not all, of the Wise Ones. She gets a group of six to channel into a cube-shaped box given to her by Sammael, who she knows as Caddar. He has told her that it will summon him. The Wise Ones realize that it also draws saidin. They hear a male voice telling them to be careful and that he will arrive shortly if they continue. Sevanna is annoyed at his tone and plans to dress him in black. Sammael arrives while arguing with Graendal, calling her Maisia. Again, Sevanna does not like their attitudes. He had promised her an object that could control Rand, but will not give it to them until they have him. She asks instead for one to control Aes Sedai and he says he should be able to supply something. He has Maisia play with the call box, making her furious. He also offers to provide them with a ter'angreal to Travel.
