The satire of the White Tower
The White Tower is the centre of contention throughout the series. The control of the White Tower signifies power. Satirically, Egwene and her operatives can easily lead a rebellion against the authority of the White Tower. Arresting Egwene by the White Tower operatives does not stop her from fighting for her anticipated position.
Faile’s kidnapping
Shaido operatives are entirely ironic because they do not kidnap Faile for a good reason. However, Faile's strategies to develop an escape plan fail miserably. On the other hand, Perrin does everything possible to rescue his wife, but his efforts are fruitless.
The meeting between Rand and the daughter of the Nine Moons
At last, rand learns that Tuon is courting Mat and soon might get married. Rand organizes a meeting with Tuon, and at last, they meet.
