The Path of Daggers/Chapter 10

==Summary==
Perrin leaves the Wise One's tent and is surprised to see Gaul bringing Elyas Machera. Elyas hopes none of the Aes Sedai with Perrin realize he used to be a Warder. Elyas gives Perrin some advice on how to deal with Faile, which is to shout at her sometimes instead of always being meek. A birdcall sounds announcing visitors arriving. Berelain arrives with Annoura, Gallenne and another woman. He enters Berelain's tent and is introduced to Alliandre Maritha Kigarin, the Queen of Ghealdan. Alliandre tells him that Rand took Illian a few days ago and Faile whispers that Ebou Dar fell seven days ago, the same day there was channeling in the sky.
Perrin tries to press Alliandre into giving her decision on whether to support the Dragon Reborn, but she evades answering. Suddenly Alliandre kneels in front of Perrin and pledges herself to his service, not to Rand's. Faile whispers to him the pledge he should give in return as her liege lord.
Faile arranges for her Cha Faile retainers to watch the tent to make sure no one approaches with a warning being given to Faile. Berelain criticizes Faile for the servants she acquired and lets her know that Maighdin is actually a Wilder with a very weak ability to channel. Faile pressures Alliandre to go with Perrin when he goes south to confront the Prophet.
Mayener scouts bring back seven of the Prophet's men who burned a farm with the inhabitants inside. Perrin has them hung. Thunder booms overhead and it begins to rain but very briefly before the sun returns to continue baking the land.
