[edit] Summary
Point of view: Perrin Aybara
Rand, the Asha'man, Perrin, the Two Rivers men, and the Aiel encounter an Aiel Wise One. The Wise One tells them Colavaere, a noble with a claim to the Sun Thone, had herself named Queen of Cairhien. She had clearly gone against Rand's wishes, since he had intended it for Elayne.
Rand and Perrin bring a small force of Maidens and Asha'man into Cairhien. They then go right to the Third Throne Room where Colavaere is holding a party in celebrance of her ninth day as Queen. She had made a deal with the Tower Aes Sedai embassy sent by Elaida, in hopes of protection against Rand.
Rand strips Colavaere of her crown for committing treason. Instead of having her executed, he strips her of her rank and sentences her to work on her smallest farm along the Dragonwall for the rest of her years. Hearing this, she faints to the floor as Rand and his party storm out of the room.
Perrin and Faile make up. Faile had been angry thinking that Perrin might be taking an interst Berelain, seeing that Berelain finds every oppourtunity to flirt with him. Perrin tells her that he wants no other women than Faile. He had been afraid for her life when he'd found out that Faile had become a lady-in-waiting to Colavaere.
Rand then barges in asking if Perrin would reconsider and lead the Tairen army towards Illian where Sammael rules. Perrin says that he doesn't want to lead an army to which Rand replies then he'll find something else for Perrin to do.
