[Selande|Selande Darengil] follows them. [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] is sitting on the throne wearing the crown. Seven attendants including [Faile|Zarine Bashere] stand by the throne and an eighth stands behind it. [Rand|Rand alThor] confronts [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]. She says rumor has [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] dead so she took the throne. What is done is done. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells her that [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is alive. He takes her crown, breaking then fixing it. What is done can be undone. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] accuses her of murdering Lord [Maringil] and High Lord [Meilan|Meilan Mendiana], then asks about [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag].[1] [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] is angry saying she was crowned eight days ago at sunrise.[2] [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] asks the woman behind the throne for advice. She is [Annoura Larisen] of the [Gray Ajah], advisor to [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag]. [Jahar|Jahar Narishma] shields her. [Faile|Zarine Bashere] accuses [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] of treason. [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]'s attendant who heard this, [Maire] vanished, replaced by [Reale]. [Annoura|Annoura Larisen] says [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] brought thief-catchers[3] who traced the murders to [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan]. She lets slip that the [Aes Sedai] promised her that [Rand|Rand alThor] would not return. [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin] announces [Rand|Rand alThor]'s penalty for murder, hanging, and [Min|Min Farshaw] looks sadly at [Rand|Rand alThor].[4] [Rand|Rand alThor] cannot bring himself to have her executed so he strips her of her titles and exiles her to a farm. She faints. The nobles see this as far worse punishment than execution. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells [Annoura|Annoura Larisen] to take him to [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag], then ends the audience.

\\[#3] They are [Gendar|gendar] and [Santes|santes]. ([WH,Ch5])
\\[#4] Because of her [viewing|viewings] that [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] would hang. ([LoC,Ch50])
