Elayne POV#

Elayne is on Moonshadow and a safe distance away from Caemlyn but where she can still see the city. She notes to herself that she hadn't ruled Caemlyn for a hundred days yet, but already the city was lost. Talmanes can't give a good estimate of Trollocs in the city, so he says there's probably tens of thousands, but not hundreds of thousands.

Elayne has with her the Band, the Queen's Guard, some Andoran regulars under the command of Birgitte and Guybon, a handful of Wise Ones and Bashere and his Legion of the Dragon. Perrin and his forces have come with her. His forces include Mayene's Winged Guard, the Ghealdanin cavalry, the Whitecloaks and Two Rivers archers.

Bashere confirms that the basements of the city have been filled with oil.

Birgitte rides up and gives the all-ready sign. Elayne says "Burn it" and Birgitte gives the signal for the Kin to open gateways so that lit torches can be thrown into the oil-filled basements. While waiting, Elayne tells Birgitte to tell the camp that she carries the Dragon Reborn's children.
