Rand walks away unannounced. Wanna guess where he went? You remember the magic sword, right? Which is named Callandor. Is that Kalandor? (hungarian word for adventurer)
I did not mention this yet, but there is a one-eyed soldier called Uno. That's insensitive.
Another soldier - MAsama - slowly goes mad, worshipping Rand/Dragon.
Forsakens: 1 Semirhage 2 Lanfear 3 Ishamael, the betrayer of hope (Elan Morin Tedornain) 4 Aginor <--- (dead) 5 Balthamel <--- (dead) 6 Demandred 7 Luc 8 Isam 9 Sammael 10 Asmodean 11 Be'lal (obvious reference to Belial, another xian reference) 12 Ravhin 13 (dead) So we have all of them named. Also, the text says "even the weakest of the Forsaken is stronger than 10 of the strongest aes sedai today". Just remember this bit.
Moiraine tells stuff about the prophecies, what recalls me another book, I paraphrase: 'A comicbook-writer draws his comic, and in one panel he writes "Wait for the sparkle of lightin the sanctity of the third mountain!" At this point of the story not even the writer has and idea what this means, or if it means anything. But it did sound cool, and none would complain if it gets forgotten.' This is exactly how Jordan describes his prophecy-bits, which means to me there was no pre-planning. And these tidbits wouldn't be considered forshadowing even if there would have been pre-planning. Forshadowing works otherwise. Only undercultured people who didn't read enough would think this is forshadowing.
Oh, I should have told this a book ago, but if you wonder if the ogre still have his stuff: he didn't even bring back to the main dimension, so that went nowhere.
Min is sent to Tar Valon, but before that she warns Perrin is he meets [Selene], run.
---------------
here is some fishing
---------------
Rand causes an entire village to marry. Wether this is madness, magic, being tavern none can tell. Team A finds a werewolf here who went too much to the wolf-side. Perrin releases him out of mercy. This gives some hint of risk to this faction. Unfortunately we still have zero idea what this faction is related to the world. Seems Perrin in this book will find time to grow some personality.
---------------
Wolves are "of the Dream World". This is some magcal plane the aes sedai know of, and Egwenne, the Mary Sue of course has special affiliation to it. In a dream Perrin meats the first wolf died in WoT, because why not. Then he bumps into Selen, does not run, and yet no harm done.
Rand is attacked by dark units, fends them off with magick.
