Quotes

"Finally there was Valinde Nathenos, who according to Min showed an eagerness very unlike the White Ajah to have Rand drive Sammael out of Illian; a promise of that, a promise even to try, and Min would not be surprised to see Valinde offer him an oath of fealty." (Rand thinking about the Salidar embassy; Lord of Chaos, Chapter 41).
