Elaida is present in Tar Valon with Elayne and Gawyn; the Amyrlin mentions that Elaida insisted on coming and has accused Moiraine of meddling with ta'veren before the Hall of the Tower.
Elaida arrives in the garden, stopping Min and rebuking Elayne for speaking to an Aes Sedai without being bidden. She asserts her authority as a full sister, dismisses the novices to their chores, and begins questioning Min about her connection to Moiraine.
