Crossroads of Twilight: Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Surprises

Kyria d'Oreyn

Characters: Egwene, Sheriam, Sitters of the Hall

Setting: Pavilion called "The Hall of the Tower"

Point of view: Egwene

In the beginning of Chapter 19 of "Crossroads of Twilight", Egwene waits for Sheriam to announce her before entering the Hall. The woman arrives a little flustered.

Inside the Hall, not every Sitter is yet present. The others stride in one after one, while the session begins. Akarrin is called to report what her group has found. They tell the Hall about the hole where Shadar Logoth once used to be and the great amount of saidin that was used.

After the group leaves, Moria points out that their arrangements of linking could not stand against Forsaken using such a powerful weapon, which is what they think might have happened. Her proposal is to contact the Black Tower for help and include the Asha'man in the circles. The five Sitters that had proposed the negotiations with Elaida and the White Tower start protesting loudly.

Egwene reins them in and asks the Hall to stand. After a while everyone agrees except for Faiselle, Magla, Saroiya, Takima and Varilin.
