Elayne
Elayne scivola sul grasso e imburra la carne insieme a Egwene e Nynaeve, lanciando occhiatecce a Laras finché l'Amyrlin non la punisce per il linguaggio inappropriato facendole afferrare le orecchie e lavare la bocca con il sapone.
Chapter 37 - Fires in Cairhien
Elayne
Elayne si unisce a Egwene sul ponte, esprimendo profonda simpatia per le sofferenze del popolo di Cairhien e chiedendosi come stia andando a Mat. Si preoccupa che la guerra civile abbia portato alla carestia tra la gente comune, in contrasto con l'attenzione di Egwene sulla loro missione a Tear. Elayne concorda con la decisione pragmatica di Nynaeve di scendere a terra a piedi per risparmiare tempo invece di aspettare che la nave venga liberata, e il gruppo procede a sbarcare e a camminare in silenzio.

Elayne
Elayne kneels beside Egwene in the cell, unable to channel. She feels the shield waver when Amico is struck and helps check on Egwene. She glares at Mat for his language and expresses a desire to pound Joiya Byir, then leaves the cell with the others, following Mat and Juilin.
