The Path of Daggers/Chapter 21

==Summary==
Rand and the Asha'man from the Black Tower begin scouting out Seanchan positions even though the weather has turned to strong storms. Rand assembles several groups of armsmen, each with forces from multiple countries to help assure their loyalty. Rand channels a gateway, but lately he gets dizzy and sees double when he seizes the source. He moves his forces to Illian near the city as a staging point. Narishma finally arrives though later than Rand had expected. He brought a long thin package saying the traps on it were more than what Rand described. From the city one thousand of the Legion of the Dragon with crossbows arrives. He moves closer to Ebou Dar while waiting for the Asha'man to bring the others, mostly those lords and ladies he trusts least, but also Davram Bashere.
