The Blight


Chapter Icon: A Blighted Tree

Point of View: Rand

Setting: Shienar, the Blight

Characters: Rand, Mat, Loial, Moiraine, Lan, Perrin, Nynaeve, Egwene, Ingtar

Outline

They head into the Blight. Lan and Nynaeve declare their love, but Lan says it can never be.

Summary

Early in the morning the party leaves for the border and the Blight accompanied by a hundred lances led by Ingtar. Through another gate Lord Agelmar leads the rest of the lances towards Tarwin's Gap. The citizens of Fal Dara are leaving for Fal Moran, the capital of Shienar, through yet another gate. At the border their escort leaves them. Intgar will try to reach Tarwin's Gap in time to join the fighting. He dislikes the fact he may come too late.

The party crosses into what was once Malkier. The landscape gradually changes until it is corrupted beyond recognition. The cold spring of Shienar is replaced by a damp heat. The Blight has its effect on the company. Especially Loial seems upset. Lan and Perrin are relatively untouched by the Blight. Lan sets a hard pace and warns them not to touch anything. There are many things in the Blight that can kill.

Lan's intention was to reach the passes across the Mountains of Dhoom before nightfall but they won't make it. Moiraine suggests a camping site where she and Lan stopped before. Moiraine sets wards to warn them if any creature of the Dark One comes too close. Despite this Rand can't sleep. He lies awake and overhears a conversation between Nynaeve and Lan. Nynaeve wants Lan to marry her but Lan refuses, despite his love for the Wisdom. He tells her he will not make Nynaeve a widow. Lan leaves to check on the horses and Rand closes his eyes so as not to see Nynaeve cry.
