Matrim Cauthon

Chapter 11 - Tar Valon

Mat — aliases: the boy

Lies unconscious in a horse litter throughout the arrival in Tar Valon, his breathing a dry rasp. He is swiftly carried away by two laborers summoned by Sheriam after Verin declares him dangerously ill.

Chapter 19 - Awakening

Mat / Cauthon / Mat Cauthon

Mat wakes in a lavish room with a plaster ceiling, his mind clouded by dreams of Manetheren and memories of Shadar Logoth. He examines his emaciated reflection, eats a massive meal of beef, vegetables, and cheese, and reasons his way through his situation, concluding he is in the White Tower and must find Egwene and Nynaeve. After finishing all the food, he remembers blowing the Horn of Valere and braces for the person knocking at his door.
