Verin gives the Amyrlin Seat the Horn of Valere, and reports on what happened since Fal Dara.
This chapter feels like an obligation. We already know everything Verin tells the Amyrlin… but people who skipped the first two books don’t. I’ll bet Jordan was contractually required to make the books accessible to casual readers. I’ll bet they had to be self-contained in a way that meant recapping plot points from earlier in the series. Usually we see this as the awkward paragraph here and there, reminding the faithful of what we already know. But here, Jordan throws up his hands:
ROBERT JORDAN: Alrighty, fuckers. You need a recap? Here’s your fucking recap.
There is literally zero new information. Verin gives Siuan the Horn. They talk about stuff that happened in the other books.
That’s it. I’m dropping the mic this time.
