Perrin rides out of the camp hoping to meet the scouts returning with word of where the Shaido are camped. He smells burnt sulphur with a reek of wrongness which he recognizes as Darkhounds. This is also the same scent he had in his dream before he woke that morning. He sends Aram back to warn the camp including the Aes Sedai, the Wise Ones and the asha'man. A large group comes out to meet him including Berelain, the Wise Ones and the Aes Sedai. He is resentful of Berelain since she won't try to quell the rumors that they slept together the night after Faile was taken. Berelain rides out to meet him with a basket of food along with a document Santes stole from Masema. The document is from Suroth and gives the bearer the right to call on any aid desired from the Seanchan.
