It's good to be back after a nice long holiday as we leave the inaction of Salidar behind and get back to... Rand and his moods. But don't despair! Things do get interesting.

Rand first entertains some Andoran nobles, adds two and two with regards to his lineage, and then entertains a meat puppet from Sammael.

He jets off to Cairhien where he has to make some tough choices (for a change!?) and has a relatively fruitless conversation with Egwene. He does however have a great philosphical chat with Herid Fel after inspecting all the new invetions at his school for gifted youngsters. I mean, university.

And finally he's visited by Ogier looking for Loial. But in typical Rand fashion, he sets them to work and makes use of their knowledge in his never ending quest to prepare for Tarmon Gai'don.

We have some serious questions about Aviendha's toh, so please put us out of our misery by reaching out via the social links below.
