[TGH-TP-136]

Early Morning: Ingtar resumes the hunt for the horn. Later in the morning, after investigating the remains of a Darkfriend camp, Hurin leads the party to the northeast. An hour later the trail again leads to the south. [TGH-TP-145]

Over the next few days Hurin tracks the Darkfriend party, which continually changes its direction. [TGH-TP-146]

Rand's party rapidly approaches Kinslayer's Daggers, an indication that travel and distance in this world are not as they seem. [TGH-TP-217]

Loial learns from Selene that Aes Sedai had studied alternate worlds and applied that knowledge to the construction of the Ways. The alternate worlds, reflections of the real world, encompass every possible variation of the Pattern. Loial tells Rand that the world they are in seems faint and unreal because of the low probability that its history would have played itself out. [TGH-TP-217]

Rand kills five grolm which had begun to pursue the party. More appear soon afterwards, and Selene urges Rand to make his way to a nearby Portal Stone, the one through which she had entered this alternate world. [TGH-TP-222]

With guidance from Selene, who possesses some knowledge of the workings of the Portal Stones, Rand channels and somehow manages to use the Portal Stone to transport himself and the others back to their world. They arrive at the crumbled remains of a Portal Stone located in Kinslayer's Daggers. [TGH-TP-225]

Night: Moiraine is attacked by a Draghkar near Vandene and Adeleas' house, but is quickly rescued by Lan and Jaem. It is discovered that the Draghkar had been warded, presumably by a member of the Black Ajah. Moiraine and Lan prepare to leave immediately. [TGH-TP-278]

[TGH-TP-332]

Early Evening: Rand, Loial and Selene enter the Illuminators complex. Loial accidentally sets off a firework, and soon afterwards Trollocs enter the complex. Rand uses one of the fireworks to kill a group of Trollocs, and the resulting blast sets fire to the complex. Selene disappears, and Rand and Loial escape the complex and return to Cairhien. [TGH-TP-335]

Ingtar's party, continuing its pursuit of Fain's Darkfriends through Kinslayer's Daggers, encounters an Aiel named Urien. Verin questions Urien about the Aiel city of Rhuidean. Urien tells Verin that he searches for He Who Comes with the Dawn, a man who will conquer the world. [TGH-TP-342]

Spray arrives at Falme. Domon witnesses more than a hundred Seanchan ships anchored off of Falme's harbor.

[TGH-TP-358]

(Days after the fire): Rand, believed by most to be an outlander lord, receives invitations from King Galldrian and Lord Barthanes, rivals from House Riatin and House Damodred. [TGH-TP-366]

Returning to the inn, Rand and Loial find the Defender of the Dragonwall on fire. They rescue Hurin, but find that the Horn of Valere has been stolen again. Ingtar's party arrives at the burning inn soon afterwards. [TGH-TP-372]

Rand, Ingtar and the others proceed to The Great Tree, an inn favored by Verin. Rand explains how Loial, Hurin and himself had traveled to an alternate world, and of their recovery of the Horn from Fain. Perrin realizes that Rand is Shadowkiller, a man known to the wolves as one who can channel. [TGH-TP-379]

Late Evening: Hurin returns and reveals that he has tracked the scent of those who had stolen the Horn of Valere to the manor of Lord Barthanes. Verin opens Rand's invitation from Barthanes, and notes that one of the dates Rand has been asked to attend is to be held the next evening. [TGH-TP-382]

Verin reveals that the statue being unearthed outside of Cairhien is a sa'angreal that can only be used by a male channeler, and that the one buried on Tremalking can only be used by a woman. She suggests that the two statues used together could be a powerful weapon. [TGH-TP-385]
