Egwene figured out that sul'dam can channel, too. Renna enters and they put Egwene's a'dam on her. They leave Seta and Renna collared. Egwene wants to get Bela, but Nynaeve tells her they are leaving by ship. They leave the building and realize the streets are empty. Soldiers approach and Egwene attacks them.

More Geofram Bornhald POV
Rand is with Ingtar in an alley. Mat, Perrin and Hurin are at the other end of the alley. Rand has odd feelings of danger from important threads being threatened. Ingtar admits letting in the Gray Man at Fal Dara. He did not know what would happen. He still does not know if Rand or Siuan was the target. He says it seemed logical.[1] The Shadow is better than oblivion like Caralain and Hardan. Ingtar wanted the Horn so he could return to the Light. Ingtar saw nasty futures in the Portal Stone. He sacrifices himself guarding the alley so the other four can escape.
