He talks to Chubain to reasure him that he isn't after the Tower Captain's job. He goes to see Egwene and is angered she responds as the Amyrlin, but she tells him that until he accepts her that way, she must. He tells her they don't have enough Warders and she should command women to take one. He tells her he doesn't believe the killer to be Black ajah, but she tells him they know it is not a Gray Man or a Darkfriend. After a little prompting, she tells him she believes it is Mesaana. She tells him she wants him to stop guarding his door every night and his first reaction is to refuse.

Graendal's Point of View:
Setting: Moridin's Palace
Moridin summons Graendal, to chastise her for Aran'gar's death, noting that she seems to be making a habit of that sort of thing. She persuades Moridin that she allowed Rand to find her so that she could corrupt his sould when he destroyed Natrin's Barrow. She tells Moridin that Aran'gar did not flee when suggested. Moridin instructs her to stay away from Rand. Graendal tells him she is working on plans for Perrin. He gives her a Dreamspike and that he will lend her Slayer. He shows her a book, of Dark Prophecy which contains a Foretelling that Perrin will die by the Shadow's hand.
