Before leaving, Rand, Mat Cauthon, and Moiraine Damodred visit a ter’angreal that lets them talk to a mysterious snakelike race called the Aelfinn, who seemingly know the answer to any question. Rand then decides that he must travel to the Aiel Waste, to be acknowledged as the Aiel’s prophesied leader. In defense, Rand uses Callandor to create a lightning storm killing all the Trollocs and Fades. However, the fortress known as the Stone of Tear is stormed by Trollocs and Fades, sent by another Forsaken (Sammael), while a third, Semirhage, sends her followers into the Stone, to oppose Sammael’s forces. He is approached by Lanfear, who tells him of the Forsaken’s plans.
