A [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] wedding consists of the each party naming the other their spouse three times with witnesses.[8] For the Blood they do not even have to be in each other's presence. They reach the [Eldar River] and take the ferry across from the town of [Alkindar] on the west bank to [Coramen] on the east. It is an important crossing with lots of [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] troops about. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] rides [Pips] across with the first wagons. There are several hundred soldiers and a few %%ot [raken]%% in camps around the towns. The dice start rattling and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] sees that [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] is riding in the front of her wagon. He is sure she will betray him but she does not. While [Luca|Valan Luca] sets up his show to perform, [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] makes a request of [Mat|Matrim Cauthon].[9] On the third day of travel after leaving the river they reach the town of [Jurador].
