Aided by an angreal he had found in the Great Holding in the Stone, Rand uses a Portal Stone located outside of Tear. In an instant he and the assembled Aiel are transported to a Portal Stone on the slopes of Chaendaer overlooking the city of Rhuidean. Moiraine reveals that the letters she had received in Tear from the Wise Ones had accurately predicted the exact circumstances of their arrival in the Waste. [TSR-H-256]

Rand asks the Wise Ones assembled on Chaendaer—Amys, Bair, Seana and Melaine—for permission to enter Rhuidean. Rand is given permission, but Mat, who also asks, is denied.

Mat passes through the doorframe ter'angreal and finds himself in a strange environment, different, yet similar, to the one accessed through the Tear doorframe. [TSR-H-274]

Mat is told to state his needs by the fox-like inhabitants of the doorframe. Confused, Mat mixes questions with his desires, and is told that what he has asked for will be given in exchange for a price. [TSR-H-281]

Rand witnesses an early time in Rhuidean through the eyes of Mandein, a forty-year-old Aiel sept chief.

The assembled Aiel are briefly told of a man who will come to them in the future—a man who will come from Rhuidean at dawn. [TSR-H-283]

Traveling further back in the past, to a time before the construction of Tar Valon, Rand experiences events as Rhodric, almost twenty-years-old, the greatfather of Mandein's greatfather. The Aiel of this period had yet to cross the Spine of the World, and the Jenn Aiel, whom the Aiel followed to provide protection, travelled with four Aes Sedai. [TSR-H-286]

Rand sees events as eighteen-year-old Jeordam, Rhodric's greatfather. He sees Morin, a Jenn Aiel whose daughter was kidnapped, become the first female Jenn Aiel to pick up a spear and join those that had abandoned the Way of the Leaf. [TSR-H-288]

As Lewin, Jeordam's father, Rand sees a group of four Da'shain Aiel violate the Way of the Leaf in order to rescue four Aiel girls that had been kidnapped by brigands. Rand witnesses the first Aiel, Lewin, garbed like his companions with a dustveil, use a spear to kill another human. In spite of the violence they had committed, Lewin refuses to take the brigand's swords, instead taking their spears. The three surviving Aiel are banished from the Da'shain Aiel wagons. [TSR-H-291]

Through Adan, the greatfather of Lewin and Maigran, aged five and six, Rand sees the results of an attack on the wagons of the Da'shain Aiel. Watching the brigands take away the Aiel women, Adan refuses to embrace violence to save them or avenge those already dead. Intent on seeking out peace and the songs once sung by the Aiel, a group lead by Sulwin break off from the Da'shain, emptying wagons of the objects given to the Aiel by Aes Sedai to safeguard. [TSR-H-295]

Rand experiences the exodus of the Da'shain through the eyes of Jonai, the father of Adan. He learns of an Aes Sedai who claims that Ishamael is only partially trapped with the other Forsaken. From Ogier Jonai learns of the growth of the Blight and the presence of Trollocs and Shadowspawn to the north. Jonai dies, and he tells his son to take the Aiel to the south. [TSR-H-297]

As Jonai, sixty-three years old, Rand sees the sword Callandor, atop the Banner of the Dragon, in the Hall of Servants near the end of the Age of Legends. He learns of the deaths of ten-thousand Da'shain Aiel at Tzora at the hands of Aes Sedai Jaric Mondoran, and of the destruction of the entire city itself. Aes Sedai Solinda tasks Jonai and the Da'shain to carry objects of the Power—angreal, sa'angreal and ter'angreal—to safety. Jonai leads thousands of wagons and all of the surviving Aiel out of Paaren Disen and to the east. [TSR-H-299]

Through Coumin, a Da'shain Aiel during the War of Power, Rand sees seed singing as performed by Aiel, Ogier and Nym. Coumin hears that Lews Therin Telamon and the Companions had lead a strike on Shayol Ghul earlier that day at dawn, but later finds his father's greatfather, Charn, hung by local townsfolk. [TSR-H-302]

Rand sees through Charn, a Da'shain in service to Mierin Sedai, and witnesses the destruction of the Sharom of Collam Daan as Mierin and Beidomon Sedai attempt to access what they believe to be a new source of the One Power. [TSR-H-305]

Emerging from the glass columns, Rand rescues Mat, whom he finds hanging from Avendesora. Mat finds himself in the possession of a spear—an ashandarei—and a silver foxhead medallion of unknown properties. As dawn approaches, Rand and Mat flee Rhuidean as dust creatures formed by a miasma attack them. [TSR-H-306]

Two days after leaving Tear, Perrin, Loial, Faile and the Aiel continue their journey through the Ways.

He discovers that the al'Thor and Cauthon farms were attacked by Whitecloaks, and that Tam and Abell are hiding in the Westwood. Bran further reveals that the Whitecloaks are being advised by Padan Fain, and that they had arrested the Cauthon women and the Luhhan's.

[TSR-H-656]

Couladin surprises all assembled at Alcair Dal by revealing himself to be He Who Comes With the Dawn, his arms marked by twin golden dragons.

Many Aiel warriors fail to come to terms with the revelations regarding the history of their people.
