The Great Hunt/Chapter 4

==Summary==
:
Moiraine adjusts her dress and dons her formal shawl as she will soon meet the Amyrlin. She prepares to face her sisters, some of which she may not be happy to see. Liandrin and Anaiya come to Moiraine's rooms to bring her to the Amyrlin. Moiraine is pleased to see Anaiya who is her friend. Liandrin protests that Moiraine should not have her room warded against sisters but Moiraine says the room is warded against all. Along the way they tell her of the three false Dragons in Saldea, Murandy and Tear.
The three pass down the halls as servants and nobles curtsy to them alike. Moiraine and Anaiya acknowledge the curtsies but Liandrin ignores them. Moiraine sees Egwene scurry down the hall, a crouched shape (Rand) behind her. Moiraine realizes that Egwene is up to something. Anaiya says that Elayne and Gawyn have come to the Tower. Elayne was born with the spark and may be the first queen to reach full Aes Sedai in ages. The Great Hunt of the Horn has been called in Illian. Anaiya then mentions rumors that the Sea Folk and the Aiel are stirring. Liandrin adds mention of Almoth Plain, which surprises even herself, but Anaiya says that there were only faint rumors of fighting there as they were leaving Tar Valon.
They enter the Amyrlin's chambers. Verin Mathwin and Serafelle (brown), Carlinya (white), Alanna Mosvani (green), and a yellow sister who Moiraine does not recognize are all in attendance. Leane, the Keeper of the Chronicles, comes out to bring Moiraine into the inner room to see the Amyrlin.
Moiraine enters into a discussion with Siuan Sanche, the Amyrlin, with Leane observing. The Amyrlin had her vessels sped up with the Power to reach Moiraine quickly, even though doing so caused flooding and crop damage along the way. She did this to bring urgent news to Moiraine. Elaida has left her post as Queen Morgase's advisor so that she could bring Elayne to the tower. Elayne will be a channeler of great power and the Red Ajah's discovery of her brings them clout with the Hall of the Tower, which is very concerned with the Aes Sedai's dwindling numbers. The Red Ajah hope that Elayne will choose to join them. Moiraine mentions that Egwene who is with her will be just as strong, as she has met the two of them and can compare. Nynaeve is also present in the city and she will be stronger still, and neither of the two will choose the Red.
Elaida also told the Hall that she had found a dangerous young man who is ta'veren in Caemlyn, but before she could do anything Moiraine had spirited him away. Some in the Hall suggested severe punishment on Moiraine for this, including Sitters of the Green Ajah who have always aligned themselves with Moiraine's Blue, usually in opposition to the Red. Thankfully, the proposal did not pass.
Siuan sends Leane out of the room and moves closer to hug Moiraine, recalling their time as novices. Moiraine is the only one Siuan can truly trust. Siuan wards the room against eavesdropping and they begin to discuss their secret plans which would have dire consequences for the two of them if they were discovered. They are Aes Sedai and will do what must be done.
