Mat is attacked by two beggars, but forces them off and returns to the Wandering Woman where he is rebutted for having a woman in his room, who he discovers to be Birgitte. He has a flashback to when he blew the Horn of Valere and called the Hunters and recognises her. They start talking in the Old Tongue, which Mat does not realise till she points it out.

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.

Point of view: Sevanna, Moridin (?)

100 miles to the North of Dumai's Wells, Sevanna has gathered 20000 Shaido and some, though not all, of the Wise Ones. She gets a group of six of them to channel into a cube shaped box given to her by Sammael, who she knows as Cadar. He has told her that it will summon him. The Wise Ones realise 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 with Graendal, calling her Maisa and arguing. Again, Sevanna does not like their attitude. He had promised her an object that could control Rand, but will not give it 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 Maisa play with the call box, making her furious. He also offers to provide them with a ter'angreal to Travel

A man watches Sammael and Graendal leave, arguing and learns Sammael is claiming to have a truce with Rand. She threatens to kill him if he calls her Maisa again, but Sammael quells her by claiming to be Naeblis, a claim the watching man considers false. After they leave, the watcher considers killing the Shaido Wise Ones, but decides to leave them.
