! __Rand__ POV

[Liah|liah] opens the door to [Rand|Rand alThor]'s quarters and admits a servant named [Bari]. He announces that three [Ogier] have arrived. [Liah] and [Cassin] accompany [Rand|Rand alThor] as [Bari] leads him to a courtyard. [Sulin], [Urien] and dozens of other [Aiel] are with the [Ogier]. They introduce themselves as [Haman son of Dal son of Morel|Haman] [Covril daughter of Ella daughter of Soong|Covril], and [Erith] daughter of [Iva|iva] daughter of [Alar]. [Rand|Rand alThor] remembers meeting [Erith] at [Stedding Tsofu]. [Jalani] and the other [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] from this morning are all with [Sulin]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sends them all away so he can talk to the [Ogier] alone. They came looking for [Loial]. Elder [Alar] of [Stedding Tsofu] told them that [Rand|Rand alThor] was looking after him. [Covril] is his mother and she plans to marry him to [Erith]. [Loial] has been gone over five years. [Rand|Rand alThor] recalls another [Ogier] who stayed Outside for ten years. [Haman] replies that five including [Dalar] stayed outside that long. Three died shortly after returning and the other two were invalids. [Rand|Rand alThor] then tells them that [Loial] is in the [Two Rivers]. [Haman]'s wife, [Voniel], is [Covril]'s sister. 

[Rand|Rand alThor] asks if [Haman] will show him the location of all the [Waygates|Ways] and explains that [Shadowspawn] are using the [Ways]. He tried visiting [Stedding Tsofu] himself but Elder [Alar] would not listen to a human.[1] [Rand|Rand alThor] wonders why the [Forsaken] did not open gateways and pour thousands of [Trollocs] into the palace.[2] [Haman] agrees and [Rand|Rand alThor] calls for maps to be brought. [Ogier] did not build [Amador], [Chachin], [Shol Arbela] or [Fal Moran]. [Bandar Eban] was built on the ruins of a city destroyed in the [War of the Hundred Years]. That city was built where a city vanished in the [Trolloc Wars]. [Haman] is amazed that humans do not remember their old cities such as [Mafal Dadaranell|Fal Dara], [Ancohima|Aelgar] or [Londaren Cor]. [Sulin] brings lots of maps. [Rand|Rand alThor] notes vanished countries on the older maps. [Hardan] was north of [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)]. [Maredo] was between [Tear|Tear (Country)] and [Illian|Illian (Country)]. [Caralain], [Almoth], [Mosara] and [Irenvelle] all vanished. [Haman] goes over the maps marking the %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% where there are [Waygates|Ways]. There are seven in the [Borderlands]. There are thirteen in the [Spine of the World] including one in [Kinslayer's Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger], from [Stedding Shangtai] in the south to [Stedding Qichen] and [Stedding Sanshen] in the north. [Stedding Cantoine] is just above the [Iralell River] not far north of [Haddon Mirk]. There are only four in the land west of the [Spine of the World] including the youngest, [Stedding Tsofu] repopulated only six hundred years ago. There are six %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Mountains of Mist]. There are also %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Shadow Coast], the [Black Hills], the forests above the [Ivo River] and the mountains above the [Dhagon River]. There are abandoned %%ot [stedding|Steddings]%% in the [Spine of the World], the [Mountains of Mist], the [Shadow Coast], one on [Almoth Plain] near the [Paerish Swar] and one on the north coast of [Toman Head]. [Stedding Sherandu] and [Stedding Chandar] were swallowed by the [Blight]. [Haman] then lists [Ogier] built cities with [Waygates|Ways], [Caemlyn], [Tar Valon], [Tear|Tear (City)], [Illian|Illian (City)], [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], [Maradon], [Ebou Dar] ([Barashta]), [Mafal Dadaranell|Fal Dara], [Ancohima|Aelgar], [Londaren Cor], [Manetheren], [Aren Mador|Essenia], [Aridhol (City)], [Shaemal|Coremanda], [Deranbar|Jaramide], [Braem|Coremanda], [Condaris|Aelgar], [Hai Ecorimon], [Iman|Safer]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sees the mark at [Aridhol (City)] and asks [Haman] to show him the [Waygate|Ways] there.[3]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] [Rand|Rand alThor] solves this problem in [LoC,Ch49] and [ACoS,Ch27].
\\[#2] Good question. [Rand|Rand alThor] eventually learns from [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] that gateways kill [Shadowspawn]. ([KoD,Ch19])
\\[#3] It is not clear why [Rand|Rand alThor] is so anxious to find the [Shadar Logoth|Aridhol (City)] [Waygate|Ways] in particular.
