His men camp outside the city and he rides in to the [Fortress of the Light]. He is angry that [Niall|Pedron Niall] recalled him to [Amador] rather than sending him to [Tear|Tear (Country)] to confront [Rand|Rand alThor]. He thinks [Niall|Pedron Niall] is getting old and soft. He is greeted by [Dain Bornhald] who is drunk. [Dain|Dain Bornhald] confirms that [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] is in the [Fortress of the Light]. [Valda|Eamon Valda] thinks he would have had her signature on the treaty in a single day. He thinks [Geofram Bornhald] was too soft as well. A [Questioner|Whitecloaks] passes a message for him to visit the [Dome of Truth|Fortress of the Light], the headquarters of the [Questioners|Children of the Light] . In the [Dome of Truth|Fortress of the Light] he finds [Rhadam Asunawa] examining a portrait of the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] [Serenia Latar]. The [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] hanged her body 693 years ago even though she was already dead. [Asunawa|Rhadam Asunawa] tells him that times are troubled and that they must not allow [Niall|Pedron Niall] to destroy the [Children of the Light]. [Valda|Eamon Valda] says he is prepared to listen.[1] \\ \\ More [Eamon Valda POV] ! __Pedron Niall__ POV From his window, [Niall|Pedron Niall] watches [Valda|Eamon Valda] talk with [Dain|Dain Bornhald]. [Valda|Eamon Valda] only thinks of attacking. In the anteroom, [Balwer|Sebban Balwer] gives him a report and another message tube delivered by [Omerna|Abdel Omerna]. [Niall|Pedron Niall] is angry because [Omerna|Abdel Omerna] is supposed to deliver the message tubes to him directly. Back in his office, [Niall|Pedron Niall] opens the tube. It is from [Varadin] in [Tanchico]. He is hiding [Asidim Faisar]. This is most curious because [Niall|Pedron Niall] sent [Faisar|Asidim Faisar] to [Tanchico] recently. He and [Varadin] should not know of each other.[2] He tells [Balwer|Sebban Balwer] to summon a courier and prepares to write a letter to be carried to [Tanchico]. [Niall|Pedron Niall] responded to a "feeling" once before, at [Jhamara], where he set some of his forces to guard "impassable" mountains. That saved him from defeat. He now has the same sort of feeling. \\ \\ More [Pedron Niall POV] ! __Morgase__ POV [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] is in a good mood despite complaints from [Tallanvor|Martyn Tallanvor], [Lini|Lini Eltring] and [Breane|Breane Taborwin]. [Basel Gill] and [Lamgwin|Lamgwin Dorn] stand guard outside. [Paitr|Paitr Conel]'s uncle, [Torwyn Barshaw], will get them out of [Amador] today. They will leave separately and wait at different inns, [The Oak and Thorn] and [The Golden Head]. [Paitr|Paitr Conel] is ecstatic because it will make up for a past failure.[3] A [Questioner|Whitecloaks], [Einor Saren], arrives and summons [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] to [Pedron Niall]. He takes her past the gallows where she sees [Paitr Conel] and [Torwyn Barshaw] hanged as [Darkfriends]. In [Niall|Pedron Niall]'s office he has just finished writing a letter.[4] Discouraged, she agrees to sign his treaty. They both sign and he gives the treaty to [Balwer|Sebban Balwer] for safekeeping. It will take her lifetime and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s to undo the damage, but that is better than [Elenia|Elenia Sarand] or [Naean|Naean Arawn] on the [Lion Throne|Royal Palace] as [Rand|Rand alThor]'s puppet. [Niall|Pedron Niall] tells her he will not be able to move on [Andor] as soon as he thought.[5] She decides to make the best of his company and asks if he plays stones. \\ \\ More [Morgase POV] ! __Rhadam Asunawa__ POV [Asunawa|Rhadam Asunawa] asks [Einor Saren] if [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] was connected to the [Darkfriends]. He says [Trom], who led the capture, did not think to ask. [Asunawa|Rhadam Asunawa] has an elaborate trial planned for her before her hanging. He hopes she continues to resist [Niall|Pedron Niall] so he can extract a confession. \\ \\ More [Rhadam Asunawa POV] %% %collapsebox-closed !
