Perrin POV#

Rand and Perrin have a fight about the treatment of the captured Aes Sedai.[1] A scattering of nobles including Dobraine witness the fight. Rand tells Perrin that he never wants to see him again and to get out of Cairhien. Perrin packs his bags and gets ready to leave. He runs into Loial and Karldin. They are going to visit the stedding[2] and Loial urges Perrin and Faile to join them. Perrin declines.

Perrin leaves the city and meets Faile, Aram, Bain, Chiad, Sulin and a dozen more Maidens.[3] Also Selande, Camaille, one other woman and three men are along. They are all part of Selande's "society".[4] Just a bit beyond are the Two Rivers men, another dozen Maidens, Gaul, Jur Grady, Fager Neald, six Wise Ones,[5] including Edarra and two Aes Sedai, Seonid Traighan, a Green Ajah sister, and Masuri Sokawa, a Brown Ajah sister. Grady or Neald creates a gateway for Traveling. Everyone goes through, with Dannil leading the Two Rivers men.[6] Two dozen Cairhienin and Tairens come through also.[7] Grady tells Perrin that he has a wife named Sora.

Some of the Asha'man have begun bonding their wives. An Asha'man named Canler figured out how and taught the others. Taim was angry about them figuring out things on their own. Seonid and Masuri come through with their three Warders.[8] Many carts and spare horses come through. Berelain then comes through with Nurelle, Bertain Gallenne and more than nine hundred Winged Guards.[9] Perrin tells everyone that they are now in Ghealdan and that they are there to 1) convince Queen Alliandre that they are not there to invade and 2) bring back Masema and his followers to Rand.
