In the Wide Hallway
White marble interspersed with thin gray veins lines the walls of this wide
corridor. The floor has been laid in a repeating pattern of brightly
colored tiles in seven colors, representing all the Ajahs. The hallway runs
for some distance away from the center ramp, reaching all the way to the
outer wall of the White Tower's shaft, before terminating at ornately
carved double doors which offer entry to the Hall of the Tower.

open doubledoors

The Hall of the Tower
This grand domed oval room has a ceiling at least thirty paces high. Its
walls of dark wood have been inlaid with the silver Flame of Tar Valon. The
floor has been delicately painted in the colors of all the Ajahs. A raised
platform, fronted by steps, runs around the outside of the room, containing
eighteen chairs in clusters of three, each painted and cushioned to declare
the Ajah of its inhabitant. A high-backed chair, the Amyrlin Seat, rests at
the far wall on a dais, ornately carved in vines and leaves and painted in
the colors of all the Ajahs. A large rose window opposite the entrance
offers a view of Dragonmount, which looms as a constant reminder.

Eldrenia says 'Second and third level of hte tower is off limits.'

close doubledoors

Chay blinks her eyes innocently.

Eldrenia says 'Please follow me.'

Chay backs away slowly.

Jenda looks at Chay and sees
A small girl with wide, searching eyes. Tangled chestnut hair hangs long
and unkempt around her gaunt frame. Too young to be on her own, her charge
must be around here somewhere.

Eldrenia looks at Chay.

Chay sticks her tongue out at Jenda. PHTHTHBTHBTBTBHH!

Jenda says 'She is frightened. '

Eldrenia frowns.

Jenda says 'And in need of a bath.. Do you have a home, child? '

Eldrenia says 'And clothes it seems.'

Jenda whispers something Eldrenia.

Jenda again looks at Chay.

Eldrenia whispers to you, 'Ahhh.'

Chay slips by.

Eldrenia says 'Well, speak up child.'

Chay tries the door handles.

Chay opens her mouth and frowns.

Eldrenia puts her hand on the door.

Jenda says 'Well this is not going to be the safest place for you to cringe away from Aes Sedai. You are in the White Tower. You do realize that, yes? '

Chay begins to get upset.

Chay shakes her head.

Jenda says gently, Can you speak, child?

Eldrenia says 'No one will hurt you as long as you mind the law child. No need to get upset.'

Chay shakes her head slowly and clutches her toy.

Eldrenia sighs loudly.

Jenda feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.

Jenda gathers Saidar and channels the weave for Delving on the girl.

Chay rubs her nose and wipes it on her cloak. Her hands are stained.

Eldrenia says 'Did you find anything, sister?'

Chay digs in her pocket

Chay eats a handful of blackberries.

Jenda senses Eldrenia connecting to the True Source.

Jenda senses Eldrenia is channeling saidar.

Eldrenia weaves her hands, creating a hearty meal in the process.

Eldrenia gives a strange fruit to Chay.

Chay accepts the fruit and sniffs it.

Jenda looks over at Eldrenia and shrugs helplessly. ' There is nothing physically wrong. But clear she is unable to speak'

Jenda says 'Something within her mind might be preventing speech. '

Chay eats a strange fruit.

Chay puts a home-made wooden toy in a brown sack.

Eldrenia says 'Could be trauma. '

Chay tries to press towards the door again.

Jenda nods at Eldrenia.

Jenda says 'I concur, Sister.'

Eldrenia says 'Child.'

Eldrenia says 'Stay right there.'

Eldrenia looks at Chay archly.

Chay stops with her hand on the doors and hangs her head.

Jenda says 'It is safe here, girl. You are in the presence of two Yellow Ajah Sisters. We are Healers.

Eldrenia says 'Come with me. This is no place to get you cleaned up.'

Jenda nods in agreement.

Eldrenia beckons Chay to follow her.

Jenda says 'Be good and there may be sweets in it for you. '

Chay is suddenly interested.

Jenda laughs softly.

Chay eats a handful of blackberries.

Eldrenia puts out her hand to Chay.

Chay takes the hand offered.

Chay now follows Eldrenia.

Eldrenia says 'Its okay, dear. We only want to help.'

Chay is now a member of Eldrenia's group.

Jenda nods in agreement.

Eldrenia opens the doubledoors.

Eldrenia beams a smile at Chay.

Solarium of the Yellow Ajah
Tall, arched windows offer a view of the island of Tar Valon and the
confluence of the river Erinin beyond Southharbor, as the river starts on
its journey to Tear. Pots and plants dot the balcony outside the windows.
Chairs have been drawn up near the windows and vases containing bouquets of
of yellow flowers have been placed nearby. Several desks and clusters of
chairs have been distributed around the room, allowing for informal
discussion of Yellow Sisters' research and studies.
[ obvious exits: N ]
A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table.

A Yellow Sister sits here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
Corele Hovian stands here with concern in her eyes.

Eldrenia closes the door.

Jenda says over the girl's head to Eldrenia, 'I cannot be sure of her age, but Testing the girl may prove valuable.

Eldrenia says 'This is Chorele Sedai.'

Eldrenia says 'I agree sister, but lets take it slowly.'

Chay's face pinches as she observes things silently.

Eldrenia says 'Chay, would you like to see a neat trick?'

Jenda nods at Eldrenia.

Chay looks at Eldrenia.

Chay nods in agreement.

Eldrenia opens the door.

Eldrenia gestures at the door with her hand.

The door silently swings shut and lock with a soft *click*.

Eldrenia winks at Chay.

Chay's mouth opens with surprise. She points at the door.

Chay fumes when nothing happens.

Jenda laughs softly.

Eldrenia chuckles politely.

Chay looks at Jenda.

Chay frowns.

Eldrenia says 'Would you like to learn?'


Chay tugs on Eldrenia's garment and points at the door again.

Jenda begins to weave the appropriate flows...

The room becomes brighter as Jenda creates a sphere of light above your hand.

Chay boggles at the thought.

Jenda passes the light ball from hand to hand.

Eldrenia gestures with her hand.

The door smoothly swings open.

Chay claps approvingly.

Eldrenia gestures at the door with her hand.

Jenda laughs softly.

The door silently swings shut and lock with a soft *click*.

Eldrenia says 'Now be a good girl and hop into that chair for me please.'

Jenda says with amusement, We are gleeman now, Sister?

Eldrenia looks at Chay.

Chay sits down. She looks uncomfortable.

Jenda looks at Chay.

Eldrenia says 'Who you like to see another trick?'

Chay tilts her head and nods.

Jenda senses Eldrenia connecting to the True Source.

Chay blinks her eyes innocently.

Jenda blinks slowly and carefully studies the girl.

Eldrenia sits down.

Eldrenia crosses her legs in front of Chay.

Jenda sits down on a stout oaken chair.

Eldrenia pulls out a yellow stone from her pack.

Eldrenia holds the stone in her hand.

Eldrenia says 'Look at the stone child.'

Chay looks at Eldrenia.

Chay frowns.

Chay looks at the stone.

Eldrenia channels a small frown or spirit into the stone.

Eldrenia keeps her eyes on the stone as it starts to glow.

Chay takes a sharp breath.

Eldrenia says 'Would you like to try?'

Chay reaches out for the stone.

Eldrenia passes the stone to Chay.

Chay puts the stone in her sack.

Chay grins.

Chay nods at Eldrenia.

Eldrenia says 'Child, lets try. I want to see you make the stone light up.'

Chay is deciding.

Jenda chuckles politely.

Chay looks at Jenda.

Chay narrows her little eyes.

Jenda says 'What wondrous things. '

Jenda looks back at Chay.

Chay gets the stone from her sack reluctantly.

Eldrenia says 'Its alright.'

Eldrenia says 'I'll help you.'

Chay looks at the little rock.

Eldrenia says 'Hold the stone in front of you.'

Chay holds it out for Eldrenia to take.

Jenda tilts her head, observing as she starts combing her hair.

Eldrenia puts her hands under Chays and holds her hands.

Chay draws back.

Eldrenia says 'Now, close your eyes, child.'

Chay shakes her head.

Chay scoots away.

Eldrenia says 'Hmmm, I guess we will have to eat the sweets ourselves.'

Jenda says 'You are in a safe, calm place, my dear. '

Jenda says 'Do not be afraid. '

Chay looks down at the stone with sadness.

Jenda smiles gently at the girl.

Eldrenia pulls a sweet from her pack and pops it in her mouth.

Chay opens her mouth in protest!

Jenda stifles a grin at Eldrenia.

Eldrenia says 'Good girls get sweets.'

Chay's lips curve down in a serious frown.

Chay sniffles.

Eldrenia shrugs helplessly.

Chay bursts into tears.

Eldrenia says 'You know what you need to do if you would like a treat.'

Jenda stares at the sky.

Jenda says 'See. I will close my eyes. '

Chay takes huge gulps of air between quiet sobs.

Jenda leans back in her chair and closes her eyes.

Eldrenia weaves a ward and places it around Chay.

Chay looks at Jenda.

Eldrenia says 'Oh much better. We will let her tire herself out.'

Jenda keeps her eyes closed!

Chay settles. She grips that stone as if her life depends upon it.

Eldrenia drops her ward.

Eldrenia puts her hands under Chay's.

Eldrenia says 'Now close your eyes, child.'

Chay squints, but very determinedly does not close her eyes.

Eldrenia pulls a sweat from her pack and holds it in her hand.

Jenda says 'mm I'm getting so relaxed and sleepy here with my eyes closed in this very trusting safe calm space. '

Chay peeks up at Jenda, then to Corelle.

Chay sullenly closes her eyes.

Jenda yawns.

Eldrenia says 'Now picture you are a flower.'

Jenda blinks her eyes innocently.

Eldrenia says 'This flower is on the verge of blooming.'

Eldrenia says 'The petals start to spread apart.'

Eldrenia breaths deeply with each phrase.

Eldrenia says 'As the flower opens you feel something.'

Eldrenia says 'There is a light at the center of the flower.'

Chay's whole face wrinkles as she listens. She starts to turn a unhealthy shade as she holds her
breath.

Eldrenia says 'Breath child.'

Eldrenia says 'Inhale....'

Eldrenia says 'Exhale....'

Jenda arches a brow, keeping the rest of her expression unreadable.

Chay lets out a huge gasp of air.

Eldrenia says 'Inhale...'

Chay breathes in somewhat loudly.

Eldrenia says 'Exhale....'

Chay blows out her breath.

Eldrenia says 'Good. Lets start again'

Eldrenia says 'Picture the flower on the verge of blooming.'

Eldrenia says 'Inhale...'

Chay looks at Eldrenia then squeezes her eyes shut.

Jenda says 'Relax.. breath.. your muscles are like water now. '

Eldrenia says 'The petals start to move.'

Eldrenia says 'Exhale'

Eldrenia says 'As the petals open there is a light at the center of the flower.'

Eldrenia says 'Inhale...'

Chay slowly breathes, then peeks at the stone with curiosity.

Chay looks abashed.

Eldrenia says 'At the center of the flower you see a light.'

Jenda says softly, 'Focus, child'

Eldrenia says 'Exhale...'

Eldrenia says 'Reach for that light child, embrace it and surrender to it.'

Eldrenia says 'Inhale...'

Jenda senses Eldrenia connecting to the True Source.

Jenda feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.

Chay sets the stone down and shifts to sit on her hands. She cocks her head to the side and looks
directly at the two Aes Sedai.

Eldrenia nods in agreement.

Chay looks puzzled.

Eldrenia says 'Her is your sweet child.'

Chay gasps in astonishment.

Chay beams a smile at Eldrenia.

Eldrenia passes Chay the candy.

Chay gobbles the sweet in one gulp.

Chay nods to herself, she must need reassurance.

Eldrenia says 'Did you see the flower, Chay?'

Jenda says 'You did well. '

Chay nods at Eldrenia.

Chay points at Eldrenia

Chay points at Jenda.

Chay smiles happily.

Jenda laughs softly.

Eldrenia says 'You saw the light around myself and Jenda Sedai?'

Chay nods quickly.

Chay giggles.

Chay hugs Eldrenia.

Eldrenia give a look to Jenda before returning her attention to Chay.

Jenda says 'This will take practice, my dear. As you are so wound up it may be difficult to relax
enough to focus. but you will get there. '

Jenda nods at Eldrenia.

Jenda stands

Chay grins wide and sighs.

Eldrenia says 'I would like you to stay with us child.'

Jenda says 'To live here and study. and have sisters to care for you. '

Eldrenia says 'The streets get cold at night. I can offer you a bed and a regular food.'

Chay makes a little squeak and shakes her head.

Eldrenia says 'Would you like that, child?'

Jenda says 'Regular sweets. '

Jenda smirks.

Chay hops to her feet.

Eldrenia clambers to her feet.

Chay ducks her head as if she's sneaking.

Jenda tilts her head in question.

Chay tries the doors.

Eldrenia straightens her robe.

Chay frowns.

Jenda sighs, shaking her head.

Jenda says 'Unfortunately, we can not allow you to return to the streets and put yourself in danger. '

Chay's eyes narrow fiercely, fire flaring in their depths.

Eldrenia arches an eyebrow.

Chay takes a fruit and throws it across the room.

Jenda holds her hands up, releasing this to Eldrenia.

Chay grabs the handles of the door.

Chay shakes furiously.

Jenda says 'My hard edges are not fit for purpose here it seems. '

Eldrenia says 'Chay. You have been a good girl to this point. Please dont prove me wrong in assuming that is your nature.'

Eldrenia sits down on a stout oaken chair.

Jenda says 'Perhaps if we explained why all girls who channel are ours? '

Eldrenia says 'I believe you have a gift, Chay.'

Chay dissembles, her rage cooling to unfettered disappointment.

Chay slumps against the door.

Jenda leans back in her chair, arms on either armrest and gazes calmly at Chay.

Eldrenia says 'This is a rare gift that will lead your down a path you could never have dreamed of.'

Eldrenia says 'But there are dangers on this path.'

Eldrenia says 'Dangers to yourself and others.'

Chay huddles against the wood panels and hides her face.

Eldrenia says 'I believe you have the spark and I cant say exactly how old you are, you look to be about 14.'

Eldrenia says 'This gift will manifest itself eventually.'

Jenda's tilted eyes carry a note of sadness as she regards the pitiful creature, wondering what
had lead her to this point.


Chay grips the part of her cloak that isn't crusty and uses it to wipe her nose.

Eldrenia says 'If you are mad or jealous or scared, this gift could hurt someone.'

Chay sulks.

Jenda nods in agreement.

Jenda says 'You do'nt want to hurt anyone, do you? '

Chay is horrified, and shakes her head.

Jenda nods slowly.

Eldrenia says 'And once you touch this gift, you will not be able to stop. You must learn to control
it.'

Eldrenia says 'Three out of four girls who try to learn control on their own will die in the
attempt.'

Chay gasps in astonishment.

Eldrenia says 'This is why we seek out these girls to train them and teach them control.'

Jenda nods in agreement.

Jenda says 'Do you understand now why you must stay with us? '

Chay's eyes well up.

Chay takes a shaky breath and nods.

Jenda sighs with pity for the girl.

Eldrenia says 'I do not think you are in danger yet, but I would like to offer you a bed and meals in the tower until you are ready to learn.'

Chay sniffles. She draws her sleeve across her face.

Jenda says 'Some clean clothes and a bath as well. '

Chay looks at her things and holds herself tightly.

Eldrenia says 'I was going to say a play date with some water, but bath works too.'

Jenda laughs softly.

Eldrenia says 'You can keep what you have, but I am going to give you some more things.'

Eldrenia says 'To keep you warm and help keep you safe.'

Chay protests.

Chay gets to her feet and smooths her cloak.

Chay beams a smile at Eldrenia.

Eldrenia nods in agreement.

Jenda looks around at the grandeur of the room and quips, ' Do you think we can afford it, Sister?'

Eldrenia says 'Lets get you cleaned up.'

Jenda smirks.

Jenda stands up.

Eldrenia clambers to her feet.

Eldrenia gestures with her hand.

The door smoothly swings open.

Eldrenia holds her hand out to Chay.

Chay stares in wonder.

Chay startles, and takes your hand.

Eldrenia nods in agreement.

The Kitchens
The smells of food fills this large, high ceilinged room, the scent of
meats mingling with those of fruits and vegetables. A long stone fireplace
with spits lies in the center of the eastern wall, the roasting spits being
turned by spit dogs running in their wicker baskets. Iron stoves and ovens

Earth Avenue
One of the fabled lanes of Tar Valon, this avenue makes its way from Tower
Square to the northeast section of the city. Skillfully constructed long
ago by Ogier stonemasons, this part of the avenue has been built to the
theme of a forested valley. Tall pillars akin to great wooded tree trunks
support overhanging roofs while flowing fountains adorn them. Numerous
statues and carvings of bears, deer, and squirrels abound throughout the
area. To the south Earth Avenue ends in Tower Square but to the east,
the avenue continues. A magnificent lodge branches up and out to the north.
