\nAnd it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died.\u2019 From Charal Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon.<\/p>\n

In the Field of Merrilor the rulers of the nations gather to join behind Rand al\u2019Thor, or to stop him from his plan to break the seals on the Dark One\u2019s prison \u2013 which may be a sign of his madness, or the last hope of humankind.

In the wolf dream, Perrin Aybara battles Slayer.<\/p>\n

Approaching Ebou Dar, Mat Cauthon plans to visit his wife Tuon, now Fortuona, Empress of the Seanchan.<\/p>\n
