==Poems In Her Honor==

This poem was written for Elorenya (rl name 'Sora') upon Elo's defense of the pluralized word 'fora' rather than 'forums':

===A Poem of the Forums===
by [[Sela Narian]]

 I do not like the fora here.
 I do not like them, Sora, dear.
 The fora're filled with pretentious fucks
 And forums aren't less deluxe.
 Use the simple English word
 To stop distraction and be heard.
 Reading 'fora', at first glance,
 Denotes a flowery fancy pants.
 Your words won't have a single chance.
 No one looks at 'forums' wrongly.
 Your words should speak concisely; strongly.
 You should not indulge your cause
 With highfalutin' lah-dee-dahs.
 Simplicity's what gets applause.

{{pov2|Lan}}
{{Setting|[[Chachin]]}}
'''Characters:''' Lan, Moiraine, [[Merean]]

Lan is making his way through the [[Aesdaishar Palace]], trying his best not to be seen as he is hoping to avoid [[Edeyn]]. He ducks behind a statue as Merean and Iselle appear, and then continues sneaking around when they leave. As Lan starts to go down a flight of stairs, he suddenly trips and falls. He goes limp just in time to spare his life. Since no one was close enough to physically push him, he knows that someone just tried to kill him with the [[One Power]].

Servants are everywhere now, helping him up, and exclaiming over his luck. A man appears, skidding to a halt in front of Lan, and asks for Lan to follow him. "Lord Mandragoran! We've been looking for you everywhere, my Lord! It's your man, [[Bukama]]! Come quickly, my Lord! He may still be alive!" When they reach Bukama, Lan learns that his friend is dead; Bukama was stabbed in the back with a dagger. Without a word, he takes off.

{{pov2|Moiraine}}
{{Setting|[[Chachin]]}}
'''Characters:''' Lan, Moiraine, [[Merean]], [[Iselle]], [[Brys (1)|Brys]], [[Diryk]], [[Ryne]]

Moiraine is sitting in her rooms when Lan barges in. He tells her that Bukama is dead and that someone also just tried to kill him with the One Power. He adds that at first he thought it was Merean, but the last time he saw her she was trailing after Iselle. That leaves only Moiraine.

Moiraine is now convinced that Merean is of the [[Black Ajah]], and tells Lan that if he cares at all for Iselle he will keep her away from Merean. Lan replies that all [[Aes Sedai]] are dangerous; besides, he just saw Iselle hurrying by with Brys and Diryk.

Moiraine's mind is racing now, thinking of Merean with Iselle, and Iselle with Brys and Diryk. Suddenly, she asks Lan where Brys would go for privacy, and tells him to take her there.

Together, Moiraine and Lan hurry to Brys' private balcony. When they get there, Iselle is speaking to Merean, and Brys and Diryk are standing by the rail of the balcony, wrapped in flows of Air. Moiraine lashes out at Merean with a shield of Spirit, but the shield splinters.

Ryne is also there, and Moiraine now knows that he is a [[Darkfriend]]. Merean tells Ryne that he did a good job of killing the spy (Bukama), and tells him to take care of Lan. Merean then wraps Iselle up in flows of Air and turns to take care of Moiraine, attacking with her own shield of Spirit.

As Lan and Ryne begin to fight, Moiraine and Merean are engaged in their own battle with the One Power, each trying to shield the other; at the same time, Moiraine is trying to free Brys, Diryk and Iselle. As they battle, Merean speaks to Moiraine about how if she wounds her, she will [[Heal]] her so that she can question her.

After a little while, Merean says, "This is taking too long, don't you think, child?" With that, she lifts Diryk into the air and drifts him over the railing. Moiraine screams as Diryk falls to his death, and white light explodes in Moiraine's head.

When Moiraine opens her eyes, a couple of minutes have passed. She feels very groggy and is shielded by Merean. Lan and Ryne are still fighting, and Brys is staring in hatred at his son's murderess, Merean.

Brys is the next to go over the railing. Moiraine struggles to her feet with determination. As Merean lifts Iselle into the air, Moiraine lunges towards Merean and stabs her in the back with her belt knife. In shock, Merean lets the shield on Moiraine drop, and Moiraine scrambles towards Iselle, who is teetering atop the stone railing, screaming. As Iselle slips and starts to fall, Moiraine grabs her hand, but cannot pull her up. She is also unable to grasp [[the Source]], but she is determined to save at least one person.

However, Iselle's hand slips from her grasp. As Moiraine watches Iselle fall, Lan pulls her away. "Never watch a death you don't have to," he tells her. He is wounded, but alive.

Once Moiraine is able to walk again, she goes over to Merean and sees Ryne lying on the ground dead. Once she is able to embrace the Source, she Heals Lan. She then burns Merean's body, telling Lan that there is no proof that she was Black Ajah, only that she was Aes Sedai.

"You are a very hard woman," Lan tells her. Moiraine replies, "I am as hard as I must be."

'''Characters:''' [[Moiraine]], [[Lan]], [[Bukama]], [[Ryne]], [[Brys (1)|Brys]], [[Edeyn]]
==Outline==
==Summary==
As soon as they reach Chachin, Lan bids Moiraine farewell and then takes off towards the [[Aesdaishar Palace]]. Once he introduces himself at the palace, he, Bukama and Ryne are escorted inside. Bukama and Ryne are shown to rooms inside the barracks, and Lan is given three rooms within the palace. He is also assigned two serving-women and a messenger boy.

Once inside his rooms, Lan asks the serving women whether Queen [[Ethenielle]] is in residence. Upon learning that she is not, he asks after Prince Brys, Ethenielle's consort, who is in residence. Lastly, he asks if any notables are visiting, and learns that Edeyn is there.

Once Lan has changed into something more suitable, he sits down to wait. Edeyn sends a messenger to him, but he replies that he wishes for time to recover from his journey. Upon hearing this, Edeyn sends him a note that reads, "Come to me, sweetling. Come to me now." Lan simply burns the note.

Finally, the ''[[shatayan]]'', [[Mistress Romera]], comes and asks if he is rested enough to be received by Brys. Lan is led to a large formal hall filled with [[Kandor]]i lords and ladies, as well as with men wearing the ''[[hadori]]'' and women with the ''[[ki'sain]]'' on their foreheads. Brys and Lan greet each other, before the Prince leads Lan to Edeyn.

After greeting him, Edeyn kneels before him and swears fealty to Lan, evoking loud cheers of "The Golden Crane!" and "Kandor rides with [[Malkier]]!"

Brys quickly leads Lan to a private balcony, and remarks that he would not have welcomed Edeyn to the Aesdaishar Palace if he had known that she would do that.

When Lan returns to his rooms, it is to find Edeyn waiting for him. They speak for a while, and Edeyn makes a comment about Lan marrying her daughter, [[Iselle]], which horrifies Lan. Eventually, they end up in bed.

'''Characters:''' [[Moiraine]], [[Lan]], [[Bukama]], [[Ryne]], [[Caniedrin]]

The trip to Chachin is extremely memorable for Lan. Aside from the expected difficulties, such as bandits and storms (both of which Moiraine takes care of rather easily), Moiraine plays a number of pranks on Lan in an attempt to extract an apology for throwing her in the pond. Each night, she has a different surprise for him: sharp flicks of an invisible switch whenever he begins to drift off to sleep, sand in his clothes and boots, and ants in his smallclothes. He barely reacts to any of them.

{{Setting|On the road to [[Chachin]]}}
'''Characters:''' [[Moiraine]], [[Lan]], [[Bukama]], [[Ryne]], [[Caniedrin]]

As far as Moiraine is concerned, she means to 'bring him properly to heel.'

Soon, they reach a village named [[Ravinda]], where Moiraine continues her search for [[Avene Sahera]]; the Saheras she found in [[Manala]] were not the right ones. It is here that she finds the woman, but her child was born thirty miles from [[Dragonmount]] and at least a week too early.

After leaving Ravinda, they are continuing their journey to Chachin when an assassin attempts to kill Lan; Moiraine is asking Lan whether or not he is allergic to wasps in an attempt to plan for that night when she sees that he has just been shot with an arrow. Moiraine quickly weaves shields of Air in front of Lan and herself, and then wraps the assassin in flows of Air; she had just meant to keep him from shooting again, but Bukama and Ryne use this chance to loose arrows of their own. When they reach the assassin, Lan and Bukama are astounded to see that it is [[Caniedrin]], one of the men that had fought with them in the [[Aiel War]]. Caniedrin dies after telling them that he had been paid to kill them. "Gold. Why else? You still have the [[Dark One]]'s luck turning just then or that shaft would have found your heart. He should have told me she's [[Aes Sedai]] instead of just saying to kill her first." Moiraine checks the pouch hanging behind his quiver to see if there are any clues about who sent him; she finds nothing.

Bukama and Ryne tend to Lan. They remove the arrow from his shoulder, and Moiraine asks if he will accept [[Heal]]ing, which he does.

The next morning, Moiraine tells Lan, Bukama and Ryne to call her Lady [[Alys]]. As they prepare to ride on towards Chachin, Moiraine spends time speaking with Ryne, who is very attentive to her.

When they reach a town called [[Manala]], Moiraine announces that they will stop for breakfast. Once she has finished eating, she leaves the inn where they stopped, and the men don't notice that she is gone until a little while later.

With Bukama waiting in the inn incase Moiraine returns, Lan and Ryne go out to look for her. Lan finds her speaking to woman, and hears her asking after someone named [[Avene Sahera]]. She receives the answer that there are indeed some Saheras living nearby. Once the woman leaves, Lan remarks that perhaps her search would go more quickly if he, Bukama and Ryne helped her find this Avene Sahera. Moiraine declines and takes off, and Lan returns to Bukama.

==Outline==
==Summary==
Moiraine has been gone from [[Tar Valon]] for three months. She is at Jurine Najima's house, speaking to her and her two daughters. [[Josef Najima|Jurine's husband]] and three sons, including [[Jerid Najima|the baby]] who was born outside of Tar Valon, were recently killed in a fire. Moiraine is relieved that the boy had been born in the wrong place by twenty miles, so he was not the [[Dragon Reborn]].

Once she leaves, she begins to make her way back to her inn, [[The Gates of Heaven]]. There are at least five other sisters staying at the same inn, but none of them recognize her, until three new sisters arrive and see her in the common room. The first two to see her are none other than Larelle Tarsi and Merean Redhill. The third is Cadsuane Melaidhrin, who orders Larelle and Merean to bring Moiraine so that she may speak with her.

Once the four of them are in a private dining room, Cadsuane remarks that she is surprised to see Moiraine here, and asks what she is doing. Moiraine makes some vague remarks about how she has heard that [[Borderland|Bordermen]] make good [[Warder]]s. Moiraine lets slip that she intends to go to [[Chachin]]. After a fair bit of talking, Cadsuane decides that Larelle and Merean, who are also going to Chachin, will bring Moiraine with them, so that Moiraine does not come to any harm. Larelle, Merean and Moiraine all protest. After Larelle and Merean leave the room, Moiraine says to Cadsuane, "I agreed to nothing. What if I have affairs in Chachin that will not wait? What if I do not choose to wait here two or three days?" Cadsuane tells Moiraine that she will be checking her bed that night, and that if Moiraine is not there she will be very sorry. When Cadsuane also leaves the room, Moiraine wonders if Cadsuane is one of [[Tamra]]'s searchers.

'''Characters:''' [[Lan]], [[Bukama]], [[Racelle Arovni]], [[Ryne Venamar]], [[Lira]]
==Outline==
==Summary==
After trying several inns with no success, Lan and Bukama reach an inn named [[The Blue Rose]]. The innkeeper is a handsome graying woman; as soon as she sees Lan and Bukama, she strides towards them and kisses Bukama, snapping at him that it has been six years without a word.

While Bukama is otherwise occupied, a man named Ryne Venamar, an old friend, approaches Lan. They go to a table and sit down. A serving maid named Lira brings them wine, and gives Lan an invitation to spend the night with her.

Lan and Ryne talk about a few things, including the fact that a woman named [[Edeyn Arrel]], who was Lan's first lover, has raised the Golden Crane ([[Malkier]]'s flag) in Lan's name. There are several hundred men in Canluum alone ready to follow her and Lan. With a lot to think about, Lan goes out to the stable and paces for a while, thinking about Edeyn and Malkier as he does so. Eventually, he sits down and assumes the ''[[ko'di]]'', calming himself.

Bukama shows up and tells Lan that he has heard about the Golden Crane and Edeyn. When they leave the stable, there are six men walking towards them. Lan knows even before they draw their swords that they are going to attack him and Bukama. Since Bukama not only doesn't have his sword with him but has sworn an oath to keep the peace, Lan orders him back into the stable, and Bukama obeys. Lan then goes to meet the six attackers.

Lan assumes the ''ko'di'' once again, they begin to fight. He relieves one man of his left eye, and receives a gash across his ribs from another man. Lan slices off another man's left arm, and is rewarded with a nick near his own eye from the same man who cut him before. Lan knows that the only reasonable outcome will be for him to die, but he fights anyway; his duty is to Bukama, who is not able to fight for himself while in Canluum. He kicks in the head of the man who has wounded him, and continues to fight the men while suffering injuries himself.

When Lan finally stops, he realizes that all of the six attackers are now dead. People begin to flood out of the inn, demanding to know what has happened. Lira and Bukama both run to Lan, checking on his injuries. Racelle Arovni sends a woman for the Watch.

Ryne also goes to Lan, and remarks that two of the attackers had been men who had listened to Edeyn. For this reason, he thinks that perhaps Edeyn was behind the attack. She has raised the Golden Crane in Lan's name, but with Lan dead, she could be Queen of Malkier. Lan is angry with Ryne for saying this, not because he doesn't believe Edeyn capable of it, but because there are strangers around.

Bukama asks Lan where they will be going now, and Lan replies that they will go to [[Chachin]].

'''Characters: [[Moiraine]], [[Siuan]], [[Ilain Dormaile|Mistress Dormaile]], [[Tamore]]
==Outline==
==Summary==
Now that Moiraine and Siuan have been raised to [[Aes Sedai]], there is much for them to learn. This includes things such as the [[Warder Bond]], the trick for ignoring heat and cold, and [[Blue_Ajah#Secrets|Ajah secrets]]. At the same time, Siuan is still working for [[Cetalia Delarme]], something about which she complains a lot.

About a week after Moiraine and Siuan are raised to Aes Sedai, [[Ellid]] is summoned for her test, but does not return from the ''[[ter'angreal]]''. Another week later, [[Sheriam]] is summoned, passes, and chooses the [[Blue Ajah]].

A few days later, it is announced that [[Tamra]] has died in her sleep. Moiraine thinks that perhaps the new [[Amyrlin Seat]] will free her from the job of handing out the bounty, and then is immediately disgusted that that is all she can think about. As a penance, she forces herself to wear the lightest color of dress that Tamore sends to her, a blue so pale that it is nearly white. It is also snugly cut, and earns Moiraine stares from many of the other Sisters. At Tamra's funeral, many of the Aes Sedai, including Moiraine, speak.

The evening after Tamra's funeral, [[Sierin Vayu]] of the [[Gray Ajah]] is raised to the Amyrlin Seat. She is a very strict woman, but she does let Moiraine off from the bounty job. However, she also commands that Moiraine stay in [[Tar Valon]].

Nevertheless, Moiraine still plans to leave. She says goodbye to Siuan and then heads out into the city. First, she visits Mistress Dormaile, her banker, where she takes out two hundred gold and silver crowns, as well as several letters-of-rights. Her next stop is at Tamore's dress shop, where she picks up her [[Cairhienin]]-style riding dresses. She hires porters and buys everything that she needs before buying passage on a ship named ''[[Bluewing]]''. As the ship pulls out of harbor, she catches sight of [[Ries Gorthanes|a tall man]] staring after her. He fits Mistress Dormaile's description of the Cairhienin man who tried to get access to Moiraine's finances.

As the ship continues to sail away, Moiraine thinks about how she has now passed into disobedience to the Amyrlin Seat.

Before dawn, seven [[Aes Sedai]], one from each [[Ajah]], come to get Moiraine and Siuan from their respective rooms. They go downstairs to the room where they were tested. Waiting in the room are the three [[Sitter]]s of every Ajah, as well as two other sisters from every Ajah, each with a shawl over her arm in case Moiraine or Siuan choose their Ajah.

After a bit of [[Aes Sedai Raising Ceremony|ritual talk (stating names and reasons for being there, etc.)]], first Moiraine and then Siuan swear the [[Three Oaths]]. Once that is done, both of them choose the [[Blue Ajah]] and receive their shawls. All of the Blue Sisters in the room welcome them. Eadyth, one of the Sitters, charges Leane Sharif and Rafela Cindal, the two non-Sitter Blues, with the task of escorting Moiraine and Siuan to the Blue quarters. When they arrive, they find every Blue sister currently in [[Tar Valon]] wrapped in their shawls and lining the main corridor.

Moiraine is almost done with the [[Aes Sedai]] test. After ninety-nine weaves, she is hobbling and is incredibly weary. During the last part of the test, [[Dalresin Damodred|her father]] is the distraction.

"Moiraine, you must come with me immediately. It is your mother, child. She is dying. There is just time, if you come now."

Somehow, she manages to keep walking. She tells her father, "I love you, Father. Please tell Mother that I love her with all my heart." Reaching the last six-pointed star, she finishes the test.

Back in the basement room, Merean tells her that she has passed. Anaiya [[Heal]]s her. Upon seeing Elaida, Moiraine knows that the [[Red]] was responsible for the last part of the test.

Moiraine is told that she will spend the night in prayer and contemplation, and that she will be raised to Aes Sedai the next day. Upon returning to the [[Accepted]]'s quarters, she learns from Sheriam and Myrelle that Siuan was also summoned for her test. Moiraine returns to her room to wait.

When Siuan returns, it is with the news that she has also passed. The two girls plan to put mice in Elaida's bed that night.

During the evenings, Moiraine and Siuan take their private lessons with different [[Aes Sedai]]. Many of the Aes Sedai are quite put out; because the [[Accepted]] are now all busy during the day, sisters must teach the [[novice]] classes.

Moiraine is worried because none of the searchers that she and Siuan have identified have left the Tower yet. She can't understand why they are not yet out looking for the [[Dragon Reborn]].

The two girls, along with Myrelle, also continue to practice for the Aes Sedai test. One night, Elaida shows up and is disgusted with Siuan and Myrelle's attempts to make Moiraine lose her concentration. She makes both Moiraine and Siuan practice their weaves while she nearly tortures them, all the while demanding that they weave faster. Once she leaves, Myrelle also leaves but quickly returns with a jar of ointment and two other Accepted, Sheriam and Ellid. The next morning, Elaida [[Heal]]s them, but is back again that night.

Finally, after three nights of Elaida's lessons, Merean finds out. Moiraine suspects Myrelle, Sheriam and/or Ellid told Merean about Elaida's lessons. Merean says that Elaida was not given a penance, though if she had, it would have been for helping Moiraine and Siuan cheat on the Aes Sedai test.

Several days later, Merean summons Moiraine for her Aes Sedai test.

When Siuan agrees that Moiraine should stay behind, Merean tells her that she can keep Moiraine company. Siuan tells Moiraine that this way they get to look at all of the lists, and that maybe they can find the [[Dragon Reborn]]. The two of them eat breakfast and then get to work. Moiraine is worried since a lot of the information is very vague, such as "born within sight of [[Tar Valon]]'s walls."

The next morning, Moiraine and Siuan continue their work, though no one said that they had to. Shortly after, two clerks walk in, and the elder remarks that she dislikes "being set a task only to learn someone else is already performing it." They leave, and minutes later, Tamra appears. She tells them that they may continue if they wish.

About an hour later, Moiraine comes across a likely entry, and writes it down on a separate piece of paper for later use. Siuan is also writing likely names down in a small book.

Shortly after midmorning, one of the [[Gray]] [[Sitter]]s, Jarna Malari, appears and tells Moiraine to come walk with her. Jarna questions Moiraine about who she thinks will become the next king or queen of [[Cairhien (Nation)|Cairhien]].

Throughout the day, six more Sitters, one from each [[Ajah]], each speak with Moiraine. Tsutama, one of the [[Red]] Sitters, asks outright if Moiraine has ever thought of being queen of Cairhien herself. This just gives Moiraine more nightmares.

Whereas before, Moiraine had not thought herself ready to be tested for [[Aes Sedai]], she now wants to be tested as soon as possible. She decides that she will leave the Tower as soon as she is raised to Aes Sedai, until the whole Cairhien issue has blown over.

==Outline==
==Summary==
Seated at the tables, Moiraine and Siuan prepare to begin recording information. At first, women seethe around them in a very disorderly manner, until Siuan weaves Air and Fire to enhance her voice and orders them to be quiet. There are women from all stations in life, from noblewomen to farmers' wives. One of the women, [[Susa Wynn]], has a child that is too old to have been born recently, but Moiraine writes her name down anyway. Susa is very thin and most likely starving, and her child is sick. Feeling sympathy for the woman, Moiraine gives her money so that she can take her son to a [[Wise Woman]].

Some time later, once noon has passed and Moiraine and Siuan have eaten, two [[Aes Sedai]], Meilyn and Elaida, show up, effectively ruining the camp's belief that Moiraine and Siuan are Aes Sedai. Meilyn reminds them to be back at [[the Tower]] before dark, and then she and Elaida leave.

The women waiting in line are now not nearly as respectful as they had been earlier, and several times Moiraine and Siuan have to shout and threaten. When they get down to about a dozen women, Steler tells them that it is time to leave. Women from the camp hold him and the other guards back while Moiraine and Siuan quickly finish.

They manage to get back to the Tower before sunset. In the [[Accepted]]'s quarters, Katerine Alruddin, another Accepted, is waiting for them, and tells Moiraine that Merean, the [[Mistress of Novices]], wishes to see her. When Moiraine arrives at Merean's study, she is told that three of her uncles, King [[Laman]] and two of his brothers, were killed that day. Merean also says that because of this, Moiraine does not have to go out the next day. Moiraine argues that if she stays behind, she will be alone, but Merean is still doubtful. Upon returning to her room, Moiraine skips supper and instead prays for her uncles' souls.

That night, she has nightmares about the [[Dragon Reborn]]. She ends up spending the rest of the night in Siuan's room.
