She does not like that Gawyn is trailing her like a puppy and refuses to deal with him until he acknowledges her as Amrylin truly and stops questioning her. She lets Gawyn try to find the killer of the Aes Sedai and even tells him that it is Mesaana. Eventually, she has had enough of him disobeying her and sends him away. Gawyn goes to Camelyn and figures out from the Seachan with Elayne that the killer is not Mesaana. Silvania, on Egwene’s orders, orders Gawyn back to Tar Valon. He refuses to be ordered and Egwene realizes the error of the forcefulness of the letter. Gawyn realizes that Elayne is sleeping and speaking with Egwene and without him there to protect Egwene, she will die from the Seanchan (I forget their name – I think bloodknives) due to her sleeping.

Egwene ends up waking up and bonding Gawyn who was close to death due to protecting her while she slept. They do not marry, but to express their love for each other and want to wait for her parents and Elayne to see the wedding.

Perrin

Perrin is not my favorite character, but he does redeem himself somewhat in this book. Perrin does not want to become Noam – the wolfman from the Dragon Reborn who has totally lost himself. He know he must train in the Wolf Dream in order to defeat Slayer. Hopper trains him to track in the Wolf Dream and to manipulate it to his Will. He finds the dreamspike and Slayer in the dream and know that it is preventing his people from traveling. He take the dreamspike to Tar Valon and battles with Slayer and briefly with the Black Ajah. He ends of killing Slayer by forcing both of them into a nightmare on Dragonmount. He pushes Slayer into the lava and destroys the dreamspike in the lava. Hopper dies fighting Slayer.

Perrin meets Galad and the Whitecloaks. They accuse him of murdering two whitecloaks (book 1) and Galad agrees to a trial instead of a battle in which he is outnumbered. Galad recognizes Morgase and she agrees to be the judge. After the end of the trial, Morgase pronounces Perrin guilty as wolfs – his friends – are not the same as humans. She tells Galad to sentence him. Galad at first does not issue a sentence and says he will do it after the Last Battle in which Perrin says he will submit to his sentence.

Perrin realizes that the dreamspike preventing traveling was there to prevent him from leaving. A large force of Shadowspawn attack the Whitecloaks and Perrin and his force save them. Galad pronounces the sentence - $500 gold pieces per death and for Perrin to go and fight in the Last Battle.

Graendal

Graendal was given control of Slayer by Moridin. She also planned the Shadowspawn attack on Perrin’s group. At the end, Shaidar Haran takes punishes her for her failures. In the book, she is credited with three forsaken kills. In the glossary, she is credited directly with Asmodean’s death.
