AMoL: Chapter 1

Chapter Icon
Title

Coming January 8, 2013

Summary1

Rand POV - A wind rises in the Mountains of Mist. It blows eastward over the Westwood and across Taren Ferry which is nothing but burned ruins. It blows eastward across the road where refugees from Arad Doman, Tarabon and Ghealdan walk from Baerlon to Whitebridge heading to Andor. But there is war in Andor and Caemlyn is in flames. People look north to the Last Battle. Northward, the wind blows to the Field of Merrilor where soldiers wait and gai'shain bring water. There is fear of war between the White Tower and the Dragon Reborn. The end has come.

In his tent, Rand laughs as Perrin recounts his story of the Two Rivers, how Marin found him and Faile at the bottom of the stairs.2 She mothers everyone, even old Cenn. It is very late; Min still sleeps in another section of the tent. Rand was awakened by his dreams.3 Rand thinks it is wonderful that Perrin still retains some of his innocence. Perrin says he did not do much at the battle, giving all the credit to Dannil, Tam and Abell. From Lews Therin memories, Rand is disappointed that his wine is not as good as that from the Age of Legends.
