We're back with the prologue of Winter's Heart. Elaida's Darkfriend hunters strike Black (Ajah) gold, Elayne gets recursively interrupted several times, and Rand has done a poor job of leaving Cairhien.

Note: you may hear children laughing during this episode. This phenomenon can be attributed to creeping madness on the part of the listener.
