Dust of Dreams/Chapter 12

__NOTOC__
The Barghast have been raiding Akrynnai caravans. In retaliation the Akrynnai army attacks the Barghast camp. Elsewhere another battle is being fought between the two sides when the battlefield is devastated by what seems to be a storm, but one that brings tidal-waves of earth; all are overwhelmed.
Onos T'oolan, escorted by only a hundred warriors, is investigating the destruction of a Barghast camp. A rival clan discovers them and attacks. Tool realises what will happen, and suicides to save his companions from being slaughtered.
Torrent meets Olar Ethil, who is in the form of a T'lan Imass.  She is annoyed that Onos Toolan has died and hints that she will do something about it. She says that Toc Anaster has interceded with her on Torrent's behalf, and so aids him.
Yan Tovis continues to lead her people on the Road. They finally reach its end and find themselves at Kharkanas, which is deserted.
