Egwene is summoned to Verin's study while doing chores in the kitchen. On her way she sees a flash of white that might have been a novice or accepted. Verin's front room is cluttered with maps, sky charts, books and even an owl to take care of mice. Verin reads from a very old manuscript page that links Ba'alzamon to Ishamael by Rosel of Essam. Verin provides Egwene with all of the information about Liandrin and the other Black Ajah Aes Sedai including information on the ter'angreal that were stolen. Verin gives her a ter'angreal since Anaiya says that Egwene may be a dreamer. It is the Twisted stone ring that Corianin Nedeal wore. She was the last Dreamer the Tower knows about, and she could willingly go into and out of the World of Dreams.
