Council of Merchants

Gahylin Leonhardt:

==General ==

The Council of Merchants is a ruling body in [[Arad Doman]] consisting of twelve of the most powerful nobles in the country, who are also the heads of the merchants guilds. These are most often women. The only purpose of this group is to appoint and depose the kings and queens of Arad Doman. A vote of three-quarters, minimum, must be given for a monarch to be deposed or raised.

After [[Alsalam]], the king, and several members of the Council of Merchants disappeared, rumor had it that the Council of Merchants kidnapped the king ({{tgs|31}}).

When [[Rand]] sent the [[Aiel]] to find the Council of Merchants, he only captures four, though we are given the names of only two living and two dead. By Rand's count, this makes four captured and two dead.

==Miscellaneous==

The king's palace is said to be inferior to the houses of the members of the Council of Merchants ({{tgs|29}}).

==Members==
'''The known living members are:'''

[[Milisair Chadmar]] - Lives in [[Bandar Eban]].

[[Alamindra Cutren]] - Was found on her cousin's lands near the northern border.

'''The known deceased members, and causes of death are:'''

[[Meashan Dubaris]] - died at the hands of a mob. ({{tgs|31}})

[[Thusara]] - presumably died in the balefiring of [[Graendal]]'s fortress, [[Natrin's Barrow]], where she is seen in {{prol12}}

==Quotes==

"What?" [[Ituralde]] snapped. "You think I'm some fancy merchant with a palace? . . ." - Ituralde to a messenger boy as Rand arrives. ({{tgs2|Chapter 10}})

"The Council of Merchants has been too disorganized lately, each member trying to keep their own chunk of Arad Doman from unraveling. If they'd had the King, they'd have revealed him by now." - the innkeeper [[Quillin Tasil]] to [[Cadsuane]], when informing her of the rumors and his own opinions on them. ({{tgs2|Chapter 31}}).

Faile ni Bashere t'Aybara

2010-07-09T19:05:41Z

Gahylin Leonhardt: /* General */

fah-Eel nih bah-SHEER ti-ay-BAHR-ah ; ''suggested''

==General==
;Name:
Lady Faile ni Bashere t'Aybara.

;Age:
Approximately the same age as [[Perrin Aybara]], [[Rand al'Thor]], and [[Matrim Cauthon]].

;Description:
Faile is tall and slender with black hair and dark tilted eyes. She has a bold nose that often gives her the look of a falcon ({{tdr|33}}).

;Childhood:
Faile grew up in the [[Saldaea]]n court houses where she is a member of high nobility. Her father, Lord [[Davram Bashere]], is the Marshal-General for the Saldaean Army, and is also the uncle of Queen [[Tenobia]]. Her mother, Lady [[Deira Bashere]], named her Zarine: a name suited to a woman who relaxes and lets her noble husband take care of everything.

;After leaving Saldaea
Faile is an independent woman, and takes the name of Mandarb, ''blade'' in the [[Old Tongue]] before travelling to [[Illian]] to become a [[Hunter for the Horn]] ({{tdr|35}}). When she first meets Perrin Aybara in Falme, she declares that she is a hunter for the horn and decides that his group is the one she will travel with to find the Horn. She discovers that [[Lan]]’s horse is named Mandarb, so opts for the name Faile, meaning falcon, in order to impress Perrin. She travels with Perrin to [[Emond's Field]], after the [[Whitecloaks]] capture [[Mat|Mat Cauthon]]’s family, and kill [[Perrin]]’s. Faile provides constant support during that time, and romance between the two blossomes. They are married after their town is well defended against a large [[Trolloc]] invasion, and both are now thought of by the [[Two Rivers]] people as their Lord and Lady. After her capture by the [[Shaido]], she meets [[Rolan]] in [[Malden]]. After Rolan is killed, and she is rescued by Perrin, she has to divide her attentions between taking care of Masema, dealing with her feelings for [[Rolan]], and convincing Perrin that nothing happened to her while she was in Malden

As an aside, a viewing by Min Farshaw states that Perrin Aybara will have a hawk and a falcon in his life. Her viewing becomes true when Faile marries Perrin, and it is revealed that [[Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag]] is the hawk due to her Royal crest.

==Strengths and Weaknesses==
Faile has always shown that she can assess each situation clearly, and is more than capable of teaching Perrin the ways of being a Lord in his home town of Emond’s Field.

She is intelligent, and is able to learn new things quickly, most notably the [[Maiden]]s' handtalk that Bain and Chiad teach her. This becomes useful when they are captured by the [[Shaido]] ({{tpod|30}}).

She is also known for her secrecy. She has many eyes and ears across [[Cairhien]], who report information to her when she needs it. These people call themselves ''[[Cha Faile]]'', the Falcon’s Talon, and they are loyal to her alone.

Faile has proven that she lies in many situations to gain advantage. She has given a false name twice, and has lied about her background to [[Perrin Aybara]] so she wouldn't seem as important as she is. She has also been willing to put herself in compromising positions in order to gain advantages over others ({{acos|5}}).

"Farmboy! Perhaps I will call myself Faile. My father used to call me that, when I was little. It means 'falcon.' "

"Loial does not know everything. He isn't very old for an Ogier."

"I'll not have you bleeding to death on me. That would be just like you, to die and leave me the work of burying you. You have no consideration. Hold still."

"You addle-brained lummox! You don't have to do any such crackpate thing! You goose-brain! If you try it, I'll hang you myself!"

"My husband, you have the courage of three men. And the sense of a child on leading strings. Why is it that as a man’s courage goes up, his sense goes down?"

"The worst sin a general can commit, worse than blundering, worse than losing, worse than anything, is to desert the men who depend on him.
Men fight when they should run, and fools fight when they should run. But I had no need to say it twice."

Natrin's Barrow

2010-07-03T04:19:56Z

Gahylin Leonhardt:

{{info|{{tgs2|Chapter 37}}}}
Natrin's Barrow was a white stone fortress in [[Arad Doman]], in the form of several towers stacked one on top of another, that more resembled a palace than a fortress. It was built to guard against incursions through the [[Mountains of Mist]] from [[Manetheren]], but had not been used for military purposes since the [[Trolloc Wars]]. It was located close to a small lake near the southern border of Arad Doman and until a few centuries earlier was not part of the country, having previously been owned by a minor noble from [[Toman Head]]. After being seized, it was used as a retreat by several kings until it was given to a distant cousin of the royal family in about 950NE.

It was used by [[Graendal]] as her base of operations until being destroyed, presumably with her, by [[Rand al'Thor]] and [[balefire]].

Council of Merchants

2010-07-03T03:47:20Z

Gahylin Leonhardt: /* QUOTES */

==GENERAL ==

The Council of Merchants is a ruling body in [[Arad Doman]] consisting of twelve of the most powerful nobles in the country, who are also the heads of the merchants guilds. These are most often women. The only purpose of this group is to appoint and depose the kings and queens of Arad Doman. A vote of three-quarters, minimum, must be given for a monarch to be deposed or raised.

After [[Alsalam]], the king, and several members of the Council of Merchants disappeared, rumor had it that the Council of Merchants kidnapped the king ({{tgs|31}}).

When [[Rand]] send the [[Aiel]] to find the Council of Merchants, he only captures four, though we are given the names of only two living and two dead. By Rand's count, this makes four captured and two dead.

==MISCELLANEOUS==

The king's palace is said to be inferior to the houses of the members of the Council of Merchants ({{tgs|29}}).

==MEMBERS==
'''The known living members are:'''

[[Milisair Chadmar]] - Lives in [[Bandar Eban]].

[[Alamindra Cutren]] - Was found on her cousin's lands near the northern border.

'''The known deceased members, and causes of death are:'''

[[Meashan Dubaris]] - died at the hands of a mob. ({{tgs|31}})

[[Thusara]] - presumably died in the balefiring of [[Graendal]]'s fortress, [[Natrin's Barrow]], where she is seen in {{prol12}}

==QUOTES==

"What?" [[Ituralde]] snapped. "You think I'm some fancy merchant with a palace? . . ." - Ituralde to a messenger boy as Rand arrives. ({{tgs2|Chapter 10}})

"The Council of Merchants has been too disorganized lately, each member trying to keep their own chunk of Arad Doman from unraveling. If they'd had the King, they'd have revealed him by now." - the innkeeper [[Quillin Tasil]] to [[Cadsuane]], when informing her of the rumors and his own opinions on them. ({{tgs2|Chapter 31}}).

==General==
Siswai'aman are [[Aiel]] that believe they are the property of the Dragon. They mark themselves with red bands around the forehead, something even ''[[Gai'shain]]'' are allowed to wear ({{tfoh|46}}) and according to [[Perrin]] feel a rivalry with the [[Maidens]] ({{loc|54}}). When Perrin went to [[Dumai's Wells]], apart from [[Rhuarc]], [[Gaul]] and the [[Wise Ones]], the only Aiel who went were ''siswai'man'' and Maidens ({{loc|54}})

==People==
[[Leiran]]

[[Meciar]]

[[Roidan]]

==Quotes==
“Sometimes, it is difficult to see the difference between oneself and one’s enemies. They want to own the world, but it seems you already own a people.” ([[Asmodean]], {{tfoh2|Chapter 46}}).

''The name did imply, more than implied ownership; that was out of [[Lews Therin]]'s memories, too. It did not seem possible to own people, but if it was, he did not want to.'' (Rand, {{tfoh2|Chapter 46}}).

Nynaeve is very upset by this, and argues about the consequences of fighting this way. Rand's argument is that this is the only way he can win.

After they reach [[House Chadmar]]'s mansion, Rand goes the throne room. Rhuarc soon arrives, and informs him the Alamindra Cutren was found and captured, but that [[Meashan Dubaris]] is dead. Milisair Chadmar is soon motioned forward, and she tells Rand that the messenger that was sent to her by the king is dead. Rand punishes her by locking her in the same dungeons that the messenger was locked in. Nynaeve argues the wisdom of only focusing on the Last Battle, and Rand grows angry with her, but forces himself to be calm. He thinks to himself that there is only a short while longer that he must keep things balanced.

Gahylin Leonhardt: /* A Promise to Lews Therin */

==A Promise to Lews Therin==

{{pov|Cadsuane}}
'''Characters:''' [[Cadsuane]], [[Quillin Tasil]], and [[Rand]]

'''Location:''' [[Bandar Eban]].

Cadsuane shuffles down a crowded Bandar Eban street, heading to The Wind's Favor. Upon arriving, she questions the innkeeper, Quillin Tasil, about the news and going ons in the city. As she heads away from the inn, she encounters Rand, who is heading towards the docks. She does not head off the road, however, she does pull her hood down closer and moves in the other direction. She then goes to find the [[Wise Ones]] and asks if they will join her in her efforts to make Rand laugh again.

{{pov|Rand}}
'''Characters:''' [[Rand]], [[Cadsuane]], [[Naeff]], [[Nynaeve]], [[Damer Flinn]], [[Rhuarc]], and [[Milisair Chadmar]]

Rand notices Cadsuane scuttling away from him as the heads to the docks to personally check on food distribution. Upon arriving at the wharf, the [[Asha'man]] riding behind him, Naeff, who had been running messages and meeting with the [[Seanchan]] for [[Bashere]], says that he doesn't believe they will accept Katar for a meeting place, though it is on neutral grounds. Rand tells him to return to the Seanchan and tell them that they will meet at [[Falme]]. Naeff argues that it is well within Seanchan border, but Flinn counters that Falme will be perfect because they will watching the skies in fear the whole time. Nynaeve soon rides up, as they are leaving, and asks what he decided. He tells her his decision. He and her argue about the intelligence of this decision, and end up talking about [[Lan]]. Nynaeve admits, under pressure, that Lan was in the [[Saldaea]], though she had made sure that he would have an army, whether he wanted one or not. After they reach [[House Chadmar]]'s mansion, Rand goes the throne room. Rhuarc soon arrives, and informs him the Alamindra Cutren was found and captured, but that [[Meashan Dubaris]] is dead. Milisair Chadmar is soon motioned forward, and she tells Rand that the messenger that was sent to her by the king is dead. Rand punishes her by locking her in the same dungeons that the messenger was locked in. (NOT FINISHED)

'''Location:''' [[Bandar Eban]].

Cadsuane shuffles down a crowded Bandar Eban street, heading to The Wind's Favor. Upon arriving, she questions the innkeeper, Quillin Tasil, about the news and going ons in the city. He says that he doubts the [[Council of Merchants]] had anything to do with [[Alsalam]]'s disappearance. She also inquires after the "balance" to the bad affects of [[Rand]] being ''[[ta'veren]]'', and is surprised to hear that there have been none. She then leaves the inn and continues down the street, thinking of Rand, and the events before her banishment. As she heads towards the docks, she encounters Rand, who is heading towards the docks. She does not head off the road, however, she does pull her hood down closer and moves in the other direction.

{{pov|Rand}}
'''Characters:''' [[Rand]], [[Cadsuane]], [[Naeff]], [[Nynaeve]], [[Damer Flinn]], [[Rhuarc]], and [[Milisair Chadmar]]

Rand notices Cadsuane scuttling away from him as the heads to the docks to personally check on food distribution. Although she brushed up against his rules and pushed the limits, he does not act because she did not outright break them, and he thinks that exiling had probably been a bad idea, but nonetheless he can't go back now. Upon arriving at the wharf, the [[Asha'man]] riding behind him, Naeff, who had been running messages and meeting with the Seanchan for Bashere, says that he doesn't believe they will accept Katar for a meeting place, though it is on neutral grounds. Rand tells him to return to the Seanchan and tell them that they will meet at [[Falme]].

After they reach [[House Chadmar]]'s mansion, Rand goes the throne room. Rhuarc soon arrives, and informs him the Alamindra Cutren was found and captured, but that Meashan Dubaris is dead. Rand now has four of the Merchant Council, with two being dead. By his count, that means he needs to capture four of the remaining six to call for a vote for a new king. Rhuarc also tells him that there has been no word from the king, and soon departs. Milisair Chadmar is soon motioned forward, and she tells Rand that the messenger that was sent to her by the king is dead. Rand punishes her by locking her in the same dungeons that the messenger was locked in. (NOT FINISHED)

{{pov|Gawyn}}
'''Characters:''' [[Gawyn]], [[Lelaine]], and [[Garth Bryne]]

'''Location:''' The [[Rebel Camp]].

Gawyn debates [[Egwene]]'s intentions in forbidding them from rescue her with Lelaine. He asks how they communicate with her again, and is warned against asking that. He convinces her to "perhaps" see if she "might be able to convince" Egwene to listen to a new kind of plea, which irritates Gawyn to no end. After Lelaine has agreed to do this for Gawyn, he agrees to do something in return. This turns out to be his opinion of fruit ochard taxes his sister will impose, which frustrates Gawyn even further. Lelaine takes notes on everything Gawyn says.

Gawyn leaves Lelaine's tent some time later, thinking that he will never free Egwene if things keep progressing at the same rate. As he walks he thinks about how the Hall had probably set Egwene up because they wanted someone that was easy to manipulate. He unhobbles his horse, Challenge and rides out of the camp. Over an hour's ride later, Gawyn meets with [[Gareth Bryne]] in one of the outlying gaurd posts. They discuss how the meeting ment, and Bryne's reasons for joining the rebel's army. They argue over that, and the [[Younglings]] for several minutes, ahd decide that as long as the Younglings' raids aren't very effective, Bryne won't do anything about it. Bryne asks Gawyn why he cares so much, and and also asks what his allegiances are. Gawyn admits that he has chosen a side and that once Egwene is safe, he can return to [[Elayne]]. Bryne continues on to tell Gawyn about how he once questioned his allegiances during the [[Aiel War]]. They approach another gaurd post, and Gawyn ponders what he will do about Egwene and his duty to Elayne.

Council of Merchants

2010-03-08T04:17:32Z

Gahylin Leonhardt: /* QUOTES */

==GENERAL ==

The Council of Merchants is a ruling body in [[Arad Doman]] consisting of twelve of the most powerful nobles in the country, who are also the heads of the merchants guilds. These are most often women. The only purpose of this group is to appoint and depose the kings and queens of Arad Doman. A vote of three-quaters, minimum, must be given for a monarch to be deposed or raised.

After the [[Alsalam]], the king, and several members of the Council of Merchants disappeared, rumor had it that the Council of Merchants kidnapped the king ([[TGS, Chapter 31]]).

When [[Rand]] send the [[Aiel]] to find the Council of Merchants, he only captures four, though we are given the name of another. They are: [[Milisair Chadamar]], who lived in [[Bandar Eban]] itself, [[Alamindra Cutren]], who was captured after discovered hiding on her cousin's land's near the northern border, and [[Meashan Dubaris]], who died at the hands of a mob before being found. By Rand's count, this makes four captured and two dead. He has only to capture four more before he has enough members to order a vote for a new king ([[TGS, Chapter 31]]).

==MISCELLANEOUS==

The king's palace is said to be inferior to the houses of the members of the Council of Merchants. ([[TGS, Chapter 29]])

==QUOTES==

"What?" Ituralde snapped. "You think I'm some fancy merchant with a palace? . . ." - Ituralde to a messanger boy as Rand arrives. ([[TGS, Chapter 10]])

"The Council of Merchants has been too disorganized lately, each member trying to keep their own chunk of Arad Doman from unraveling. If they'd had the King, they'd have revealed him by now." - the innkeeper [[Quillin Tasil]] to Rand, when informing him of the rumors and his own opinions on them. ([[TGS, Chaper 31]])

{{pov|Rand}}
'''Characters:''' [[Rand]], [[Dobraine]], [[Merise]], [[Min]], and [[Milistair Chadmar]]

'''Location:''' The outskirts of [[Bandar Eban]] and mansion of [[House Chadmar]].

Rand lists the names of the women he has killed, including [[Semirhage]] and [[Elza]], as he rides into Bandar Eban. Merise pressed him to beg for Cadsuane's forgiveness, but he sternly refuses. He enters the mansion of House Chadmar and Dobraine joins him on the steps of the building. As they continue into the building, Rand tells Dobraine that he will be sent to [[Tear]]. Rand comes to the conclusion that Dobraine is a good man, by his lack of complaints and willingness to follow orders. Rand then seats himself on an ornately carved chair in House Chadmar's audience chamber. Shortly afterwards, Milisair Chadmar enters and asks how she may serve Rand. Rand asks when she last had contact with the King and she replies that it has been weeks. She cannot remember what happened to the messenger and Rand pressures her to find him. When she says that he can be crowned quickly, he states that he will not be king here. She then withdraws and Rand notices Min standing outside with the Aiel. Rand tells the Aiel to bring him his scribes, stewards, Rhuarc and Bael, and any city worthies that haven't fled left to discuss grain distribution.

Rand then seats himself on an ornately carved chair in House Chadmar's audience chamber. Shortly afterwards, [[Milisair Chadmar]] enters and asks how she may serve Rand. Rand asks when she last had contact with the King and she replies that it has been weeks. She cannot remember what happened to the messenger and Rand pressures her to find him. When she says that he can be crowned quickly, he states that he will not be king here. She then withdraws and Rand notices Min standing outside with the Aiel. Rand tells the Aiel to bring him his scribes, stewards, Rhuarc and Bael, and any city worthies that haven't fled left to discuss grain distribution.

==In Darkness==

{{pov|Egwene}}
'''Characters:''' [[Sheriam]], [[Egwene]], an unknown [[Forsaken]], and [[Seaine

'''Location: '''The [[Rebel Camp]].

Sheriam enters her tent and climbs into her cot and thinks of how she never wanted to live in these times. She senses a woman, very strong in the power, outside her tent. She opens her eye and finds a disguised Forsaken standing over her, that she realizes is not [[Halima]]([[Aran'gar]]). The Forsaken tells Sheriam that Egwene need to be deposed, and proceeds to ask how they hold their meetings in [[Tel'aran'rhiod]]. Sheriam explain about the [[ter'angreal]] they have, and the Forsaken instructs her to steal the "[[sleepweavers]]."

Egwene is in her cell, after two days of imprisonment, ignoring her gaurds, while being visitted by [[Seaine]], a member of the [[White Ajah]]. Seaine explains to her how the trial is going in her favor, but that some are listening to [[Elaida]]'s claim the Egwene is a darkfriend. Egwene explains to her what must be done to heal the Tower and tells her that the Last Battle is coming.

==A Warp in the Air==

{{pov|Cadsuane}}
'''Characters:''' [[Cadsuane]], [[Rand]], [[Merise]], [[Narishma]], and [[Min]]

'''Location: '''[[Lord Tellaen]]'s manor (Rand's hideout in [[Arad Doman]])

Cadsuane investigates what happened at [[Semirhage's]] cell and realizes that out of the gaurds, [[Corele]] and [[Nesune]] are alive because they had warders, while [[Daigan]] was killed.

Cadsuane and the [[Wise Ones]] head to Rand's rooms. Casuane finds all the [[Aes Sedai]] in the camp that aren't already incapacitated ([[Sorene]], [[Erian]], and [[Beldeine]]) already in Rand's rooms. She demands to know what happened, and he calmly tells her that the danger has been dealt with. She inquires further and he show her the remains of the [[Domination Band]]. She is incredulous. Rand shows Narishma the weave for balefire, and tells him that is what has to be used against the [[Forsaken]], despite Cadsuane's disapproval. Rand then exiles Cadsuane from his sight and tells her that if he sees her face again he will kill her.
