Welcome back to the Tower of Mysteries! We learn some shocking statistics about the Black Ajah right off the bat, before we even start with our chapters. 

Then we hit the ground running with Mat being severed from the Dagger (I think I'll capitalize that from now on) and having a chat with both a Forsaken and the Amyrlin Seat in his bedroom.  And reminiscing about commanding troops in an ancient battle for good measure. 

Egwene scrubs some pots, is entrusted with an extremely useful magic item and then undertakes the Accepted test immediately after, to almost disastrous consequences.

As you will tell straight away from the episode, I was struggling, so I'm sure we left plenty of room for correction and enlightenment. Or maybe you just enjoyed our tangents? Either way, let us know via these channels:
