In the summer of 999 NE, the Aes Sedai became divided over what was later determined to be the illegal deposing of Siuan Sanche as the Amyrlin Seat and the raising of Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan to replace her. The sisterhood split into thirds, with one group remaining in the White Tower, another forming a breakaway colony of Aes Sedai in Salidar, and the other third remaining neutral or undeclared. The rebels raised an Accepted, Egwene al'Vere, to serve as a figurehead Amyrlin, but Egwene, with help from the deposed Amyrlin Siuan, proved a superior schemer and seized control of the rebels in truth as well as name. She eventually raised an army of 50,000 troops under Captain-General Gareth Bryne and ordered them to Travel to Tar Valon and lay siege to the city.

abstract	In the summer of 999 NE, the Aes Sedai became divided over what was later determined to be the illegal deposing of Siuan Sanche as the Amyrlin Seat and the raising of Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan to replace her. The sisterhood split into thirds, with one group remaining in the White Tower, another forming a breakaway colony of Aes Sedai in Salidar, and the other third remaining neutral or undeclared. The rebels raised an Accepted, Egwene al'Vere, to serve as a figurehead Amyrlin, but Egwene, with help from the deposed Amyrlin Siuan, proved a superior schemer and seized control of the rebels in truth as well as name. She eventually raised an army of 50,000 troops under Captain-General Gareth Bryne and ordered them to Travel to Tar Valon and lay siege to the city. As part of the attempt to force the city to surrender, Egwene sealed Northharbor and Southharbor with chains of cuendillar, but she was captured during this exercise. She was declared a novice once more, but she refused to accept this, asserting that she was the true Amyrlin, and was frequently punished for showing disrespect to Aes Sedai and Elaida, whom she considered to be a false Amyrlin. In one of her prophetic dreams, Egwene foresaw that the Seanchan would attack the White Tower, but her warnings were ignored at Elaida's order. At the same time as these events, the Seanchan returned in force, launched a substantial invasion of the west and southwest of the continent, and overran Tarabon, Amadicia, Altara, and parts of Almoth Plain. With their goal of conquering the entire continent, it was inevitable that their path would eventually lead them to Tar Valon, but events convinced them to move up the timetable for their attack.
