Rand and Mat arrive outside Rhuidean, which is veiled in fog. Mat spied Aviendha running to the city, but Rand had not noticed. They begin to walk through the wall of fog and come out into the city which is still domed by fog. Mat walks to the nearest fountain but finds it empty. Then Rand channels and a stream of water flows out, filling the basin. After walking for a mile, they reach a huge plaza with an enormous tree at the center. The tree overlooks concentric rings of clear, glittering glass columns. The plaza is cluttered with many other things, which Mat realizes must be ter'angreal when he sees a spear standing upright with nothing to support it.
