Moiraine and Siuan happily continue copying names. The Amyrlin Seat assembles Aes Sedai to search for the Dragon.
The Amyrlin Seat is growing suspicious of Siuan and Moiraine after they have voluntarily spent copious amounts of time copying lists of circumstances under which babies were born on the battlefield. Moiraine is sent to deliver a message to a sister belonging to the Green Ajah. After Moiraine completes her mission and escapes the reverse harem of the Green Tower, she catches up with Siuan who is just getting back from delivering a similar message to the Gray Tower. Moiraine concludes that the Amyrlin Seat is assembling a group to search for the Dragon, a theory that is only bolstered the next day when three more messages go out.
