In this episode, Ali and Gus make the acquaintance of several more folks in the Two Rivers and some new arrivals as well, as folks prep for Bel Tine and Winternight. Padan Fain has a glint in his eye, Egwene shows off her new hairstyle; and Ewin Finngar might have a drinking problem.
MULLED WINE RECIPE:

• 1 bottle dry red wine (zinfandel or cabernet sauvignon are good)
• 4 cups apple cider
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 3 star anise
• 3 cloves
• Zest and juice of 1 orange
• ¼ cup honey

1. Combine all of the above in a pot and bring to a boil
2. Immediately reduce to a low simmer. Add liqueur if you want (I use brandy)
3. Simmer 15-30 minutes and serve.
