! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] reads a letter from King [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] saying he is loyal to [Rand|Rand alThor] but concerned about breaking the [seals|Seals]. He will bring some troops to the [Field of Merrilor] but he must leave most of his army to defend against the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. She writes in return that she will promise to provide transport back if he will bring his whole army. [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] are important to her plans. She will next respond to [Gregorin|Gregorin Panar den Lushenos] in [Illian|Illian (Country)] who is hesitant to support her. [Mattin Stepaneos|Mattin Stepaneos den Balgar] is still in the [White Tower] because he is afraid to return to [Illian|Illian (Country)]. %%red [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]%% enters with a grim message that [Trollocs] are invading [Saldaea], [Arafel] and [Kandor]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] asks about [Tarwin's Gap|Tarwins Gap] but there is no news. She sends for %%blue [Siuan|Siuan Sanche]%% who might have more. 

[Silviana|Silviana Brehon] returns with news that the [Hall|Sitters] is meeting. Two [Accepted], [Nissa] and newly raised [Nicola|Nicola Treehill], brought the news. Two thirds of the [Sitters] are there. %%red [Pevara|Pevara Tazanovni]%% and %%red [Javindhra|Javindhra Doraille]%% are still missing but there are two new [Red|Red Ajah] [Sitters], %%red [Raechin|Raechin Connoral]%% and %%red [Viria Connoral]%% along with %%red [Barasine]%%. %%blue [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi]%%, %%yellow [Romanda|Romanda Cassin]%% and %%brown [Takima]%% are there. One [Brown|Brown Ajah], one [Blue|Blue Ajah], two [White|White Ajah], two [Yellow|Yellow Ajah], two [Gray|Gray Ajah], three [Red|Red Ajah] and three [Green|Green Ajah]. %%white [Saroiya]%% tells how [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tricked them into declaring war and giving her full power. %%red [Barasine]%%, %%white [Ferane|Ferane Neheran]%%, %%green [Rubinde Acedone]%%, %%yellow [Magla|Magla Daronos]%%, %%gray [Varilin]%%, %%green [Faiselle]%%, %%green [Farnah Sadaou]%%, and %%gray [Andaya|Andaya Forae]%% are there. %%brown [Saerin|Saerin Asnobar]%% and %%brown [Janya|Janya Frende]%% enter. They discuss the [Hall|Sitters] taking control of [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]'s army and the [Tower Guard|White Tower]. %%blue [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi]%% suggests the [Hall|Sitters] take the army and the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] take rulers.

Too late they realize that gives [Egwene|Egwene alVere] sole authority to deal with [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is happy with the outcome but angry at the secrecy. She moves to add to Tower Law that all [Sitters] must be in the [Tower|White Tower] or appoint surrogates, all [Sitters] and the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] must be notified of all meetings of the [Hall|Sitters]. The [Sitters] stand for the Greater Consensus. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] and [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] return to her study and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] sends [Nissa] and [Nicola|Nicola Treehill] to [Caemlyn] to get new dream %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% from [Elayne|Elayne Trakand].
