A lot of things happen in these next chapters, but the events seem to be beginnings, not endings, and the number of beginnings without endings is growing rapidly. It would be really nice to see some threads wrapped up instead of started up.
See below the fold for summaries. Rand's attempts to avoid playing Daes Dae'mar earn him invitations from the king's household and from the High Seat of House Damodred (the second most powerful house in the kingdom). Hmm, Damodred . . . where have I heard that name before. Oh that's right, Moiraine Damodred. Does this tell us more about her? Anyway, Loial and Hurin convince Rand not to burn the letters. While Rand and company wait for Ingtar, the Horn and dagger are stolen from them. Just when they discover the theft, Ingtar and company show up.
They discover that the Horn and dagger were taken by Barthanes, the High Seat of House Damodred, so, they decide to accept Barthane's invitation. While there, they discover that Fain has taken the Horn and the Dagger into the ways, and that he claims to be going to Toman Head to wait for Rand. Thom's lover is killed by Barthane's men as a warning to Thom, freeing him for more adventures. Padan Fain gives the dagger and the Horn to a Seanchan lord, intending to sow dissension among them. Rand, with his new, larger company journey to a stedding (where Ogier live). Loial causes quite a stir in spite of his attempts to keep a low profile. They also meet more of the Aiel at the stedding, and recount to Rand the story of their encounter with the other Aiel in the mountains. Trackbacks

I felt angry during most of this section. Probably due to the loss that Tom suffers. He is really the one bright spot in this book, for me. All the politics stuff was frustrating.
