Edeyn gestures to the map table where the elderly man who was in conference with king Easar is stooped over, examining the notes. Elsa recognises him as the legendary Alric.
"He came alone dear, as you must know, his Aes Sedai passed away. The only Aes Sedai here is Moara Sedai, his majesty's advisor, but she is has left the city for a few days." Edeyn says all of this whilst continuing to inspect Elsa.

Alric notes that the Shienarans' maps of the Blight are vague, with few specific features known even a mile beyond the border. The maps have the locations of all the raids across the border in the last year, and which ones involved kidnapping, which it transpires only began three months ago. They also have noted the sites of various trolloc raiding groups, and known locations for large groups of trollocs to gather, of which there are three close to the Gap.

"We've seen trollocs gathering at each of those," lord Agelmar states, noting Alric's interest. "That's always one of the first signs that an attack is coming, that and the raids. Moran's Tower, the Illen Falls and the Pit."
