Circa (Taisham 17th?): Nobles from the Borderlands—Queen Ethenielle of Kandor, King Paitar of Arafel, King Easar of Shienar and Queen Tenobia of Saldea—meet secretly in the Black Hills to perform an ancient ceremony which will bond them in a joint cause. Having left behind enough forces to defend their respective nations, each leader has brought with them a large army intent on defeating Rand al'Thor.

Aware that almost all runaways from the Tower find their way to the Kin, the Aes Sedai have not interfered with the Circle's operation. [ACOS-H-479]

Taisham 18th: Spotting Nynaeve boarding a river vessel, Moghedien attacks the boat with balefire. Cut in two, the vessel immediately sinks to the bottom of the River Eldar. Trapped in the wreckage, Nynaeve surrenders to saidar and uses the One Power to escape, thus ridding herself of her block. She is dragged to the surface by Lan, only recently arrived in Ebou Dar. [ACOS-H-482]

Taisham 18th: After learning of his bond with Myrelle, Nynaeve announces her intention to marry Lan immediately. From Lan's description of the sinking, Nynaeve realizes that her attacker was Moghedien. [ACOS-H-491]

All of the Kin are offered a chance to return to the White Tower, and the Aes Sedai are shocked to learn that the Circle numbers 1,783 women, almost twice the number of Aes Sedai in the Tower. Reane reveals the location of a storeroom of ter'angreal in the Rahad. [ACOS-H-497]

Taisham 18th • Night: Nynaeve and Lan are married by the Mistress of the Ships of the Atha'an Miere. Both are required to adhere to Sea Folk marriage rites. [ACOS-H-581]

Taisham 18th • Night: Gawayn Trakand and his Younglings escort twelve Aes Sedai, led by Covarla Baldene, to Tar Valon. These sisters represent the only Aes Sedai of the original thirty-nine sent to capture Rand to return. [ACOS-H-505]

Taisham 19th • Night • Second Low: Elaida receives news of the events surrounding Rand's rescue at Dumai's Wells. Alviarin, aware of the Amyrlin's tenuous position, begins asserting control over Elaida. [ACOS-H-505]

Taisham 19th • Morning: Rand admits his love to Min, as well as his affections towards Elayne and Aviendha. In turn, Min reveals her love of Rand, and of her knowledge of Elayne and Aviendha's feelings toward him. Min also tells him of a viewing involving Rand merging with another man.

The Sea Folk agree to provide ships to Rand when needed, and to scout the Aryth Ocean for the return of the Seanchan. [ACOS-H-538]

Taisham 19th: Shortly after arriving at the six-storied building in the Rahad, the group searching for the Bowl of the Winds is confronted by Ispan Shefar and Falion Bhoda, two members of the Black Ajah. As Nynaeve battles the two Darkfriends, a Gholam attacks the other members of the party. Among those killed are Janira, Nalesean, Melore, Mendair and five of the Band's Redarms. After the fights, which result in the capture of Ispan, Elayne retrieves the Bowl of the Winds from a storeroom. Also taken from the building are numerous ter'angreal and angreal that had been stored there by the Kin. [ACOS-H-595]

NOTE: There is a discrepency between events in A Crown of Swords and The Path of Daggers. In A Crown of Swords the Bowl of the Winds is found the day after the Festival of the Birds, and the Feast of Embers is indicated as taking place the day after the discovery of the Bowl. In Chapter 1 of The Path of Daggers, which takes place on the same day that the Bowl is found, the Festival of Birds is said to have taken place two days before, and the Feast of Embers is to be held on the same night as the recovery of the Bowl. There is no logical method by which to reconcile these errors, and in this work the original dates as established in A Crown of Swords will be used.

Taisham 19th: Rand and Min travel via Gateway to the forests outside of Cairhien. Posing as minor Andoran nobles, the two learn that High Lord Darlin Sisnera has joined the rebel Cairhien nobles, and that he plans to marry Lady Caraline Damodred. Among those in the rebel camps are seven Aes Sedai, including Cadsuane, as well as Padan Fain, a companion of Lord Toram Riatin's going by the name Jeraal Mordeth. [ACOS-H-545]

Taisham 19th: Rand accepts an offer to sport with Lord Toram, a blademaster, using practice swords. The display is interrupted by a deadly fog, similar to Aridhol's Mashadar, that surrounds the area. Using balefire to save a woman from the unnatural fog, Rand reveals his true identity. Fain briefly emerges from the fog long enough to slash Rand over the half-healed wound from Toman's Head. [ACOS-H-556]

Taisham 19th • Noon/Early Afternoon: Led by Cadsuane and the surviving Aes Sedai, Min, Caraline, Darlin and an unconscious Rand escape the fog. They make their way to the Sun Palace, where Flinn, an Asha'man with Healing abilities, stabilizes Rand's condition. Like the wound below it, the injury caused by Fain refuses to heal completely. [ACOS-H-566]

Taisham 19th: A group of Aes Sedai, Kinswomen and Atha'an Miere agree to take the Bowl of the Winds to the Kin's farm outside of Ebou Dar. Mat and a group of his Redarms stay behind to search for Olver, who has gone missing. [ACOS-H-611]

Taisham 19th: Moridin, watching Aviendha and the others pass through the gateway, learns that the group carries the Bowl of the Winds. Also aware of the group's journey to the north is a gholam, which sets off in pursuit on orders of its master. [TPOD-H-82]

As Seanchan attack the farm and begin emerging from the gateway into Andor, the gateway collapses and explodes.

Taisham 20th: Six days after their last encounter with the Shaido, Sammael and Graendal arrive at Sevanna's camp. Sammael gives Sevanna a ter'angreal capable of forcing female channelers to hold to a promise.

Midmorning: Perrin Aybara leads a small group into the Amadacian town of Abila. Among those accompanying him are Elyas, Aram, Grady, Seonid, Masuri, Edarra and Carelle. Perrin quickly arranges to meet with Masema, the Prophet. Although Masema agrees to a summons from the Lord Dragon Reborn, he refuses to travel by any means involving the One Power. [TPOD-H-574]

Faile, in a group consisting of Alliandre, Maighdin, Bain, Chiad, Berelain and various guards, occupies herself with hawking in the woods outside Abila. Shortly after she receives news from Cha Faile of Masema's possible involvement with the Seanchan, Faile's group is attacked by a group of Shaido Aiel. Parelean of the Cha Faile is killed, and Faile, Bain, Chiad, Maighdin, Alliandre, Arrela Shiego and Lacile Aldorwin are captured and made gai'shain. [TPOD-H-583]

Having completed their month-long stop, and their novice ranks swelled to almost one-thousand women, Egwene and the rebel Aes Sedai prepare to march on Tar Valon. A large gateway is created by thirteen sisters, and through this Egwene and her forces move onto a plain next to Dragonmount. [TPOD-H-586]
