! __Mat__ POV

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] travels toward [Ebou Dar] with [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. They are accompanied by [Aviendha], [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion], [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle], [Vandene|Vandene Namelle], [Jaem], [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar]. [Olver] is with them as well as [Nalesean|Nalesean Aldiaya], [Vanin|Chel Vanin], and a dozen [Redarms|Band of the Red Hand] including [Harnan], [Tad Kandel] and [Lawdrin Mendair].[1] [Nerim] and [Lopin] are [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]'s and [Nalesean|Nalesean Aldiaya]'s personal servants. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] seem nervous. [Olver] does not like [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] because she hangs with [Aviendha]. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] still thinks [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] is a [Hunters of the Horn|Horn of Valere]. The [Aes Sedai] send [Jaem] to scout ahead and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] sends [Vanin|Chel Vanin] to do the same. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] asks [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] to let her study the [foxhead medallion|Foxhead Medallion]. He says no, but later feels the [Aes Sedai] [channel|True Source] at him. 

On the third day they reach the first village. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] avoids [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]. That night at another village they stay at the village inn, [The Marriage Dagger]. [Thom|Thom Merrilin] knows a lot about [Ebou Dar] even though he has never been there. [Nalesean|Nalesean Aldiaya] has been there. [Thom|Thom Merrilin] tells [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] that [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] is [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s [Warder|Warders]. She let it slip to [Vandene|Vandene Namelle] and [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle]. They are angry, but [Jaem] and [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] are now buddies. 

The fourth evening they stay in [The Southern Hoop] in [So Tehar]. The [Aes Sedai] determine that they can throw stuff at [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] with the [One Power] and not set off the [foxhead medallion|Foxhead Medallion]. 

On the fifth day they reach [Ebou Dar]. They arrive at [Mol Hara Square] and the [Tarasin Palace], home of Queen [Tylin|Tylin Quintara] Quintara of House [Mitsobar|Altara] where she rules from the [Throne of the Winds|Altara]. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] feels the dice tumbling.[2] He does not want to stay in the palace, so he randomly chooses an inn across the square. The inn is [The Wandering Woman]. [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] stay at the palace. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], [Nalesean|Nalesean Aldiaya] and their men move into the inn where [Setalle Anan], the innkeeper, greets them. The dice have stopped.[2]
