Early the next morning Moiraine prepares for the raising ceremony. Soon she will be Aes Sedai. Seven Aes Sedai are behind the door to her rooms and are waiting to escort her. They include Elaida for the Red. They then proceed to Siuan's rooms and bring her as well. They return to the chamber where Moiraine and Siuan were tested the day before. The Accepted walk through the oval ring and approach Tamra, the then Amyrlin Seat. Tamra takes the Oath Rod from Aeldra Najaf, places it in Moiraine's hands, and channels Spirit.
