Tarlomen's Gate
Wide enough for fifteen men abreast, the gates allowing access to the Tower
grounds are iron bound. The gilded Flames of Tar Valon set high up in the
thick timber have been polished to a shine that a Tinker would find
satisfactory. A cool river breeze wafts through the gate, making the trees
and bushes in the grounds to the north rustle and sway. The pale shaft of
the White Tower lies to the north, reaching a hundred spans into the air.

Before the White Tower
The White Tower looms to the north, rising over a hundred spans into the
sky. Trees and bushes, both short and tall, are sprinkled around the path
and throughout the Tower grounds. The path is covered by pieces of small
white gravel and bordered by white bricks. White steps, at least a pace
deep and slightly arched in the middle, lead up to the White Tower.

A Large Round Entry Hall
Two intricately carved doors, wide enough for fifteen men abreast lie to
the south, allowing entry into this large, round entry hall. Archways in
the walls of stonework the color of bleached bone allow for passage deeper
into the White Tower. This hall is used to receive petitioners who seek
council from an Aes Sedai. The marble floor has been inlaid with a mosaic
of a spiral of blue, brown, gray, green, red, white and yellow, which
converges in the center of the large, domed hall.

Walls of stonework the color of bleached bone contrast sharply with the
floors of brightly colored tiles in all seven colors of the Ajahs. Golden
stand lamps are spaced evenly along the corridor, spreading pools of warm,
flickering light both day and night. Niches containing statuettes or
expensive Sea Folk vases break the monotony of the white walls.

Intersection of Halls
Wide hallways join together under a tall, vaulted dome in the center of the
Tower. The dome has been broken up into seven sections, with each section
depicting women of a particular Ajah at work. The brightly colored floor
tiles of the hallways meet at the edge of the intersection, lining the
walls in the seven colors of the Ajahs. The center floor has been inlaid
with a white marble Flame of Tar Valon, lined with black marble.

against a horde of trollocs that number more than twice as many as the
human force. One of the paintings is a portrait of a queenly woman
resembling the one depicted on the tapestry. The vaulted ceiling rises at

Two perpendicular hallways join a sloping circular ramp at a level section.
Ribs that have been intricately decorated with various types of leaves
branch out from the corners and meet overhead, creating a tall vaulted
ceiling at least fifteen feet in height. To the east and south lie long
straight corridors with many doors, while the ramp which runs north and

On the Spiralling Ramp
Slabs of smooth, pale white stone banded by patterns in seven bright colors
descend from the upper level and corkscrew endlessly down into the depths
of the White Tower. The skilled work of Ogier hands, not a single seam is
evident in the flowing masonry. Coiling vines bearing seven types of leaves
are carved in friezes crowning the walls, the carvings so lifelike they are
almost seem to grow from the stone, waiting for a breeze to stir them. A
large wall hanging depicts the fallen city of Allorallen.

Branching Off the Ramp
The spiralling ramp levels out for a stretch where corridors from the west
and south meet. The colorful patterns of the floortiles of both the
corridors and the ramp merge seamlessly, speaking of the quality of the
Ogier stonemasons' work. The arched ceiling is at least fifteen feet high
and a masterfully carved frieze of leaves of bonsai, cedar, holly, juniper,
oak, olive and redwood runs along thetop of the impost, just below the
lowest part of the curvature of the arch.

Above the Stairwell
The gray stone floor of the hallway with red, green, gray and blue floor
tiles gives way to a narrow stairwell. A six-sided hanging lantern hanging

your choice of wear.'
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Melosa says 'Most choose to be in clothing that allows for a greater degree of freedom.'
Melosa says 'Yet, for some reason, you are different.'
Melosa says 'Do tell.'
Lorrah says 'I found, while I was growing up, I was less nimble than other girls, so when my uncle suggested I learn how to defend myself, we agreed this would be the best attire.

possible?'

paper.
Lorrah says 'for example, hammer of air is exceptionally distracting, sometimes even interrupting what I
am doing completely.'
Lorrah says 'that includes physical attacks.'

Lorrah nods in agreement.
Melosa says 'And it seems to me that you have not yet fully grasped the implications of this
choice.'
Lorrah says 'Sometimes, Accepted, choice isn't always within out grasp.'
Melosa says 'You have chosen a more... physical approach to fighting your enemy.'
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Melosa says 'I would like to show you another way.'
Lorrah says 'Ok!'
Melosa says 'Do you have training in Flame Strike or Hammer of Air?'
Lorrah says 'hammer of air, yes. I have not yet the strength to learn flame strike without impacting
weaves which benefit others.'
Melosa says 'We shall adjourn shortly to the woods but I would like to explain one thing first.'
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Melosa says 'Those two weaves I've mentioned and also in my previous class, are exceptionally
simple'
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Melosa says 'And with that comes speed.'
Melosa says 'If one is trained in it, you can still compose these two flows even while fighting.'
Melosa says 'Without interruption'
Melosa says 'Are you familiar with that?'
Lorrah says 'I slept in and was unable to attend that class, unfortunately. Still, I appreciate you
taking notes for those of us who did. And yes, they were quite thorough.'
Melosa says 'Between blows from the enemy, you can compose a weave and have it land on the opponent
before the next blow lands.'

The Wooded Ridge
Running from the west and the east, the sparsely-wooded ridge looks down
over the valley to the south. Paperbark trees cling grimly to the thin
soil, the web of their roots binding the earth to the rocky ground. The air
is alive with the scent of resin, the smell of the pungent sap rising from
the valley floor on thermals that spiral from the dense forest below.

Along the Ridge
The ground is stony and hard, sparse soil mixed with crushed and shattered
sandstone providing nothing for life to cling to. Lurching leatherleaf
trees line more fertile slopes to the south, dense forest swallowing the
ground and hiding it from the gaze of the sky. Loose pebbles skitter away
underfoot, tumbling haphazardly down into the lush valley lying below.

Dense Woodland
Slim shafts of alder spear the ground, the fine grain of their bark
impervious to the creeping moss that coils around their roots. The forest
is thick and dark, tight knit trees and brambles woven together to form a
dense blanket of woodland. Swathes of chainvine hang lazily from the
branches, coiled red leaves adorning the trees. The ground slopes upwards
to the south, a stony ridge breaking through the canopy of the forest.

A ramp curves away out of sight to the west and east, connecting the floors
in the Tower. Leaves of several varieties curl and twine in the stonework
frieze, as well as the ribbing of the vaulted ceiling. The Ogier's work is
so life-like, the blossoms and leaves seem almost ready to flutter in a
breeze and fall to the brightly colored floor tiles. A wall hanging
depicting the fall of the city Londaren Cor during the Trolloc Wars
decorates the wall opposite where a corridor joins the ramp.

Hallway Outside the Classrooms
This unremarkable gray stone hallway and landing off a stairwell is lined
with a number of doors, marked with the numbers one through twenty. Two
large double doors sit in a pointed archway on the northern end of the
corridor. A portrait of a woman wearing a seven-striped stole surrounded by
battle scenes hangs on the wall opposite the stairwell.

In the Classroom
A board of black slate hangs on the wall near the door, suggesting this
room is used as a classroom. The room is plain and windowless and has
enough place to seat thirty students. A dais with a desk sits at the front
of the room, where the Aes Sedai or Accepted teaching the class can sit.

A haughty young woman strides by practicing Aes Sedai serenity.
Melosa closes the door.
Lorrah settles back down behind her table.
Lorrah sits down.
Melosa brushes off bits of charred wood and splinters from her banded dress.
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Lorrah channels several threads of fire onto the bottom of her boot, burning something off. Yuck!
Lorrah emote: Lorrah channels several threads of fire onto the bottom of her boot, burning something
off. Yuck!
Lorrah suddenly look suspiciously innocent.
Melosa smoothens her skirts and composes herself.
Melosa says 'Now.'
Melosa says 'I do believe you've demonstrated ample knowledge of this particular technique.'
Lorrah smiles happily.
Melosa says 'But we both know some practice is required.'
nod melosa
Lorrah nods at her.
Melosa says 'So make that your assignment from this class.'
Melosa says 'I do leave you with something to think about.'
Lorrah sits down and rests his tired bones.
Melosa says 'Consider the new discoveries around Slice.'
Lorrah ponders life, the universe, and everything.
Lorrah says 'hmm, a most interesting development.'
Lorrah says 'rather frightening as well, to be honest.'
Melosa says 'Would that be something worthwhile for you to be trained in especially in the event you
ever had to battle a dreadlord?'
Melosa says 'Light send that would not be the situation any time soon.'
Melosa looks grim.
Lorrah says 'as soon as i have strength enough to do so, yes.'
Melosa says 'Consider how that could be useful for you.'
Melosa says 'If it would be.'
Melosa says 'We can have that discussion during our next class.'
Melosa says 'For the moment, any questions, Lorrah?'
Lorrah says 'i'm curious Accepted, are there any ways to interrupt that weave?'
Melosa says 'No, there is not'
Melosa says 'Well. That is not entirely correct'
Melosa says 'It is possible.'
Melosa says 'But highly improbable that a Slice be interrupted by another Slice.'
Melosa says 'After all, it takes three short threads to compose that weave.'
Lorrah taps her foot on the floor as she ponders on the issue.
Melosa says 'Any other questions, Novice?'
Lorrah says 'Just one more Accepted. There is another even more erroneous weave called 'shield' I have
read about. If, light forbid, you were shielded, is there anything you could do?'
Melosa says 'Run. Very fast and very far.'
Lorrah nods in agreement.
Lorrah says 'So there's no way to interrupt the weave once it's in place?'
Lorrah shivers uncomfortably.
Melosa pauses before answering the question posed to her, choosing her words carefully.
Melosa says 'I do not believe so, Novice. But you would have to speak to one of the Red Ajah on
that. I believe they know more about it than any other.'
Lorrah ponders life, the universe, and everything.
Lorrah takes notes in a neat hand, finishing each sentence with a flourish.
Lorrah says 'That's a lot to think about. Thanks for your time Accepted.'
Melosa nods at Lorrah.
Melosa says 'You are dismissed. Well done so far and keep up the good work.'
Melosa says 'Run along then.'
Melosa says 'I look forward to seeing your prorgess.'
Lorrah smiles happily.
