Moraine and Rand enter the Great Blight to confront the Dark One. With an army of Shadowspawn emerging to attack Fal Dara, the defenders prepare for battle.
Tropes
- Closest Thing We Got: With no Aes Sedai present in Fal Dara to help repulse the Trollocs, the Lady of Fal Dara conscripts any woman who has an ounce of magical ability, including Egwene and Nynaeve, to help bolster the defences.
- Hold the Line: The Lord of Fal Dara and his sister's plan for battling the Shadowspawn army emerging from the Blight: he mans the fortifications at the Blight's border with his men, while she channels a magical counterattack long enough for the civilians to evacuate.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The Lord of Fal Dara dies to a Trolloc spear through the chest while trying to reload his crossbow.
