Things are getting pretty hectic right off the bat with Perrin and co. arriving in Illian, getting attacked almost immediately, discovering some disturbing things about forces of the Shadow and making a run for Tear.

Mat also fends off an attempt on his life with the help of Thom, on their way to Caemlyn to deliver Elayne's letter. The city seems to be under a malevolent influence but Mat makes his way to the Queen and her... advisor. He learns of a plot on Elayne's life and immediately sets off for Tear, where the girls are also heading.

But of course we also need to talk about female Trollocs and Native East African languages. Speculation with no real evidence abounds. Come join the fun!
