Summary

Rand POV - Rand, Loial and Hurin are in their room a few days after the Illuminators incident. Cuale brings two more invitations, from Barthanes Damodred and King Galldrian. Rand received as many as a dozen a day and burned them all. Houses Damodred and Riatin are bitter rivals. The following signs are given, House Damodred - Tree and Crown, Barthanes' personal sign - Charging Boar, Galldrian's personal sign - Stag. Hurin convinces Rand not to burn these. Rand and Loial go to the gatehouse again to ask about Ingtar and Selene. Rand spots Captain Caldevwin in the back, but the guard denies that he is there. On the way back, Rand wonders if he can survive as long as Owyn did. They find the Defender of the Dragonwall in flames. Rand and Loial rescue Hurin and the Dragon Banner but the Horn and ruby dagger are gone. Mat, Perrin and Ingtar arrive. Rand tells them that they are too late.
