Moraine leads the company through the Paths, but an unexpected encounter has dire consequences. Rand realises his true nature.
Tropes
- Flashback-Montage Realization: Rand has one of these where he realises all the strange things that have happened to him are because he can channel, and he is the Dragon Reborn.
- Last Bastion: The city of Fal Dara, built at the edge of the Great Blight, the wasteland where the Dark One was imprisoned, to deal with periodic attacks from the Shadowspawn who inhabit it.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Egwene (actually Rand) channeling magic to repel a Trolloc that attacks them ends up activating the Paths' defences against intruders.
- This Cannot Be!: The Lord of Fal Dara and his retinue's reaction to Moraine telling them Trollocs have infiltrated the Paths.
