Client-Side Settings
This topic only applies to the legacy
Windows
Uploader mode and is for reference in legacy systems only. You will likely
use the newer (and default)
Web Uploader mode in production instead, and can safely skip this topic.
The following settings are available to all users in the UploadZen window
on the Settings tab. Administrators can turn off
the Settings tab for some or all users via
the appropriate server-side configuration setting.
(General) Maximum picture file preview icons per folder
Picture files are represented by an icon showing a preview of their content but
this consumes additional system resources. Specify the maximum number of picture
files that a folder can contain before preview icons are turned off for that folder.
Use 0 to never show any preview icons.
(General) Apply the [xyz] file filter when targeting a [xyz] Library
Choose 'Yes' to automatically select a file filter for the local file browsing
area suitable for the target Document Library, or 'No' to never automatically
change your file filters.
(Upload) Overwrite existing files
Select 'Yes' to overwrite files that already exist in the SharePoint Document
Library target folder under the given name, or 'No' to not replace the existing
file and produce a warning message instead.
(Upload) Replacement character
Specify a character or text used to replace each unwanted character, ie. ˜
" # % & * : < > ? / \ { | and } in uploaded file or folder names.
(Clear this to simply remove the unwanted characters.)
Display/include files/folders if...
These four sections of 13 settings each control whether to show or hide in the local
file navigation area, or include or exclude in folder bulk uploads, file or folders
with certain characteristics:
- (Access or Read Error) — whether to show/include files/folders that cannot
be accessed by the current user (default: No)
- Files / folders that cannot be accessed by the current user can never be included
in folder bulk uploads. For the inclusion sections, this setting controls whether
to ignore-and-skip those files / folders (if set to No) or show an error
message for each such file / folder (if set to Yes).
- (Empty) — whether to show/include files/folders that are empty (zero-byte
files or folders containing neither files nor sub-folders, default: No)
- (Blocked) — whether to show/include files with extensions that are blocked
for upload at the SharePoint web application level (default: No)
- [xyz] Attribute — whether to show/include files/folders for which the given
file system attribute is set (default: Yes except for Hidden, Offline,
Sparse, System, Temporary)

Welcome to Horror Health! This website was created out of a love of horror and the catharsis it can bring to people with various mental health issues
or traumatic experiences in their lives. Whether that be PTSD, depression, addiction, or simply growing up on the outside of what's considered normal.
The project was inspired initially by haunted house films, their parallels to abusive home environments, and the surprising comfort they provided for me. Over the years we've seen an uptick in horror films making mental health
the focus of their horror or horror themes, such as The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Oculus. Notably, though, horror films have always dealt with mental health issues of
some kind, though often indirectly. This can be seen in how many horror fans watch these films: as a way to safely process a contained level of fear and anxiety,
while still getting a resolution we so often lack in personal struggles with mental health.
With this in mind, Horror Health compiles an ever-growing list of horror films and provides a brief breakdown of it's core mental health themes, the level of catharsis one
might derive from the film if they relate to such themes, and a list of potential triggers for those who might not be in a position to receive said catharsis. Obviously, everyone's
experience is unique, so trust your own judgement when deciding if a film may be helpful or hurtful, but otherwise, feel free to haunt our pages! ☠

After five years, The BLFS Team is happy to present version 7.4 of Beyond Linux From Scratch. This version includes approximately 750 packages beyond the base Linux From Scratch Version 7.4 book.
Keeping up to date with released packages that are useful to users is a challenge. On average, three new packages are released every day, seven days a week. As of this writing, BLFS is current. The vast majority of packages in the book have been verified to work in an LFS-7.4 environment, however a few (26) packages have only been built and not tested primarily due to hardware constraints.
This release would not have been possible without the help of a lot of people over the years. Specific thanks for the many hours spent making BLFS what it is goes to the following:

Sorting and searching are fundamental operations in computer and data science. The objective of the kdtools
is to expose a C++ header file implementing efficient sorting and searching methods for multidimensional tuple-like data. The interface mirrors that of the C++ Standard Library sorting and searching functions. It is a single header-only library with no external dependencies other than std
.
A common approach to improving search performance is to place data into an ordered tree structure, the most common being a binary tree and its variants. Computer textbooks and introductory courses are littered with examples of tree structures, however it has been pointed out by practitioners that many tree-type data structures have considerable storage overhead and poor memory locality. This results from using linked-list-like pointers to connect nodes. In many cases, a fully or partially sorted sequence combined with binary search will outperform pointer-based trees. Indeed, the Standard Library contains a set of algorithms for sorting or partitioning a data sequence and searching within partitioned sequences.
A limitation of the Standard Library algorithms and data structures is that they can only be ordered in a single dimension. Sort keys can possess higher cardinality however comparison operators and ordering are unidimensional. This is suboptimal for data that are intrinsically multidimensional, such as geographical coordinates or other multivariate data. In multiple dimensions, it is preferred to order a sequence of keys such the average distance between neighboring pairs in the sequence is small. There exist a vast array of techniques to accomplish sequence localization; however I will only discuss one known as the kd-tree.
A kd-tree is a type of binary tree that cycles among the dimensions of its stored objects at each level of the tree hierarchy. In the case of spatial data, the root node will contain the median key in the x-direction and each of its daughter nodes will contain the median in the y-direction of their respective partitions. Subsequent daughter nodes will again contain medians in the x-direction, and so on until there are no additional keys to the left or right. Searching a kd-tree involves recursive comparisons, cycling among the dimensions, until a leaf-node is encountered. Most searching operations can be accomplished in logarithmic time complexity yielding an efficient method.
Precisely as an ordinary binary tree can be replaced by a sorted range, a sequence of multidimensional elements can be sorted, in-place if desired, via recursive partitioning following the kd-tree scheme. Divide-and-conquer recursive partitioning is a well-known sorting algorithm and is the basis of the quicksort algorithm. Partitioning a sequence places all elements less than (or more generally meeting some predicate) to the left of a selected key, while all elements greater-than-or-equal-to follow to the right. The kd-sort algorithm presented here simply modifies quicksort to cycle among the dimensions of the stored elements. Searching follows exactly as the kd-tree except that nodes correspond to pivot-elements in the linear array.
Implementation of kd_sort
enables a set of additional algorithms for searching and nearest neighbor queries. The following table gives the exposed functions and corresponding Standard Library routines.
| Function templates | SL analog | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| kd_sort | sort | sorts range |
| kd_is_sorted | is_sorted | returns true if sorted |
| kd_lower_bound | lower_bound | finds first element not less than key for all dimensions |
| kd_upper_bound | upper_bound | finds first element greater than key for all dimensions |
| kd_binary_search | binary_search | returns true if key exists in range |
| kd_equal_range | equal_range | returns an iterator pair spanning all occurrences of a key |
| kd_range_query | lower_bound, upper_bound | finds all elements not less than lower and less than upper |
| kd_nearest_neighbor | finds nearest neighbor of key | |
| kd_nearest_neighbors, kd_nn_indices | finds k-nearest neighbors of key | |
| lex_sort | ordinary SL sort using kd_less for comparison |
The kd-sort algorithm in the kdtools package is implemented as a C++ function template parameterized by the starting dimension (usually 0) and the iterator type, which will be auto-deduced by the compiler.
template <size_t I, typename Iter>
void kd_sort(Iter first, Iter last)
{using TupleType = iter_value_t<Iter>;
constexpr auto J = next_dim<I, TupleType>;
if (distance(first, last) > 1)
{auto pred = kd_less<I>();
auto pivot = median_part(first, last, pred);
kd_sort<J>(next(pivot), last);
kd_sort<J>(first, pivot);
} }
The median_part
function is a thin wrapper around the nth_element
function from the standard library, which is used to find the median value in the current dimension. Elements to the left of the nth element are not greater than the nth element and elements to the right are not less than the nth element. This allows searching left or right depending on whether the sought value is not greater than the median or not less than the median (ties must search both directions).
Once the first dimension is partitioned, the ranges right and left of the pivot are partitioned, and so on until first and last span a single or no value. The dimension index I
is incremented at compile-time using template metaprogramming. The value
member of the templated struct next_dim
holds the incremented value of I
that has been wrapped to cycle through successive dimensions of TupleType
. The result of kd_sort
is a sequence ordered as if it were inserted into a kd-tree data structure. The following figure illustrates the resulting order in 2-dimensions.
Here the sequence order is shown with a continuous color gradient. The resulting patchiness indicates a hierarchical tree-like partitioning of the space providing the desired locality. Placing nearby points in proximity is what allows for efficient searches once the data are sorted. Sort times for vectors of tuple-like objects are relatively efficient, taking roughly twice the time of an ordinary lexicographical sort.
In the above results, lex_sort
is the Standard Library built-in std::sort
algorithm using kd_less
as the predicate. The results indicate that kd_sort
is reasonably fast, requiring roughly twice the time as the Standard Library built-in sorting algorithm. Because of the divide-and-conquer nature of kd_sort
, it is trivially parallelizable. The threaded version is equal to or faster than the regular sort. Performance comparable to the build-in Standard Library sort
function indicates that this reference implementation is reasonable.
To ensure the correct behavior in the presence of multiple ties, or even when all keys in one dimension are equal, the kd_less
predicate implements circular lexicographic comparison. If elements in one dimension are tied, the next dimension is interrogated to break the tie. The comparisons cycle from trailing dimensions to leading dimensions using modulo arithmetic. It is implemented as a recursive, templated function object with the dimension index incremented at compile-time. The recursion is terminated using constexpr if.
template <size_t I, size_t K = 0>
struct kd_less
{template <typename T>
bool operator()(const T& lhs, const T& rhs) const
{if constexpr (is_last<K, T>) {
return less_nth<I>()(lhs, rhs);
else {
} constexpr auto J = next_dim<I, T>;
return equal_nth<I>()(lhs, rhs) ?
1>()(lhs, rhs) :
kd_less<J, K +
less_nth<I>()(lhs, rhs);
}
} };
The predicates equal_nth
and less_nth
compare the \(I^{th}\) element of the tuple. They have specializations for handling pointers to tuple-like object, so all functions can operate on a range over pointers to tuples, allowing arbitrary indexing into the original data.
A more general function object template kd_compare
that takes an arbitrary binary predicate is also provided by kdtools
. Some examples applying kd_less

Notice that kd_sort
is a variant of the quicksort algorithm in one dimension. It also is not effected by all-ties. The order of subsequent dimensions can be changed when the leading dimension contains all ties, however the sequence is still sorted and can be used for searching.
Once data are ordered appropriately, searching can be achieved efficiently. The kdtools
package provides analogs of the Standard Library lower_bound
, upper_bound
, equal_range
and binary_search
functions for querying sorted ranges. An additional function, kd_range_query
, does efficient searching within a boxed region.
The kd_lower_bound
, kd_upper_bound
and kd_equal_range
algorithms behave differently than their unidimensional analogs. This is because the only reasonable definition of multidimensional less is to require less in all dimensions simultaneously. As illustrated below, this leads to cases where some, but not all, elements are less to be included in the interval spanned by kd_lower_bound
, kd_upper_bound
and kd_equal_range
. In other words, in a single dimension, these routines are both necessary and sufficient, whereas in multiple-dimensions, they are necessary, but not sufficient to uniquely identify elements in a boxed region.
In other schemes, such as Morton codes, elaborate subroutines are required to prune the extra elements falling outside the region of interest (see lower-left panel below). This is a result of using a fundamentally unidimensional search on multidimensional data. Instead kd_sort
implements direct binary search for points falling within a boxed region.
template <size_t I,
typename Iter,
typename TupleType,
typename OutIter>
void kd_range_query(Iter first, Iter last,
const TupleType& lower,
const TupleType& upper,
OutIter outp)
{if (distance(first, last) > 32) {
auto pred = less_nth<I>();
auto pivot = find_pivot<I>(first, last);
constexpr auto J = next_dim<I, TupleType>;
if (within(*pivot, lower, upper)) *outp++ = *pivot;
if (!pred(*pivot, lower)) // search left
kd_range_query<J>(first, pivot, lower, upper, outp);if (pred(*pivot, upper)) // search right
kd_range_query<J>(next(pivot), last, lower, upper, outp);else {
} const TupleType& x){
copy_if(first, last, outp, [&](return within(x, lower, upper);
});
}return;
}
Here, each pivot element is tested to see whether it falls within the boxed region, in which case, it is assigned to the output iterator. The template find_pivot
searches for the partition point whose position may or may not be the middle of the sequence. Leaf tuples are also tested and copied to the output iterator. We check in each dimension whether there might be additional points in the region of interest to the left or right in the array. These are searched recursively until reaching the span falls below a threshold and is more profitably searched via sequential scan. In the following plot, the blue points indicate those not meeting the predicate and the aquamarine points are those where the predicate returns true.
The Boost Geometry library is a highly sophisticated and performant framework for working with geometric features. It includes an R-Tree index that allows access to objects within a bounding region in logarithmic time. Here I compare the speed of building and querying a collection of points. The only purpose of this comparison is to look for large (i.e., 5 to 10 fold) differences, which would indicate a problem in the implementation. Small differences in measured times are probably not meaningful and will likely change on different systems. Reported results are the median of 21 trials using 10^{7} tuples.
| Test | Time | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| kd_sort_threaded | 0.421 | 1.0 |
| kd_sort inplace | 1.890 | 4.5 |
| kd_sort w/ copy | 1.900 | 4.5 |
| rtree pack linear | 2.100 | 5.0 |
| rtree pack quadratic | 2.090 | 5.0 |
| rtree pack rstar | 2.090 | 5.0 |
| Test | Time | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| kd_range_query | 0.000294 | 1.0 |
| rtree query linear | 0.001330 | 4.5 |
| rtree query quadratic | 0.001160 | 3.9 |
| rtree query rstar | 0.001170 | 4.0 |
The results indicate that sorting and searching with kdtools is at least as performant as using Boost Geometry. Generally, an R-Tree will have an advantage with many individual insertions and deletions, whereas a sorted range will be more compact and show equal, if not better, query performance.
The kdtools package also provides routines for nearest- and k-nearest- neighbor search.
| Test | Time | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| kd_nearest_neighbor | 1.10e-06 | 1.0 |
| rtree nearest neighbor linear | 2.67e-05 | 25.0 |
| rtree nearest neighbor quadratic | 7.10e-06 | 6.6 |
| rtree nearest neighbor rstar | 4.10e-06 | 3.8 |
| Test | Time | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| kd_nearest_neighbors 100 | 1.71e-05 | 1.00 |
| rtree nearest 100 linear | 8.38e-05 | 4.90 |
| rtree nearest 100 quadratic | 4.05e-05 | 2.40 |
| rtree nearest 100 rstar | 1.63e-05 | 0.95 |
As before, the results show kdtools to be as fast or faster than Boost Geometry search. This is not surprising as the R-Tree data structure is optimized for indexing boxed regions, not points. The exception is rstar search for 100 nearest neighbors, which is faster. This might have to do with differences in the priority queue implementation or it could be that the rtree buckets allow rapid retrieval of groups of nearby points all at once. The main conclusion here is that the current implementation of kdtools is reasonably efficient.
Notice that the only requirement of the algorithms is that the get<I>
function return a type meeting the EqualityComparable and LessThanComparable C++ concepts. This means that different dimensions can contain different data types, including strings, for example. The current implementation uses std::get
and so is restricted to std::pair
, std::tuple
and std::array
, unless one chooses to specializes in the std
namespace, which is generally not recommended. A suitable mechanism for providing type-specific specializations is to-be-implemented. The following example demonstrates sorting and searching a container holding keys of type std::tuple<double, std::string>
.
// [[Rcpp::depends(kdtools)]]
// [[Rcpp::plugins(cpp17)]]
#include "mixed_query.h"
// [[Rcpp::export]]
void mixed_query(NumericVector c1, CharacterVector c2)
{auto n = c1.size();
range_type data;
data.reserve(n);
transform(begin(c1), end(c1), begin(c2), back_inserter(data), make_key());
auto t = time_it([&]{
kd_sort(begin(data), end(data));
});"\nSort time: " << t.count() << " seconds" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
"\nFirst and last " << N << " elements of sorted data:\n" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
print_range(data);
range_type result;
auto u = time_it([&]{
kd_range_query(begin(data), end(data),key_type(0.4, "w"), key_type(0.6, "z"),
back_inserter(result));
});
"\nQuery time: " << u.count() << " seconds" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
"\nFirst and last " << N << " elements of query return:\n" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
kd_sort(begin(result), end(result)); print_range(result);
result.clear();
auto v = time_it([&]{
kd_nearest_neighbors(begin(data), end(data),key_type(0.5, "kdtools"), 100,
back_inserter(result));
});
"\nNeighbors query time: " << v.count() << " seconds" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
"\nFirst and last " << N << " elements of neighbors query return:\n" << std::endl;
Rcout <<
print_range(result); }
First the data are sorted and then a range query is conducted. The range query selects tuples where the first element ranges from 0.4
to 0.6
and the second element begins with letters w
through y
. For the test, we borrow the words from the parts_of_speech
dataset from the tidytext
package. It contains more than \(10^5\) words.
data("parts_of_speech")
numbers = signif(runif(nrow(parts_of_speech)), 4)
strings = sample(tolower(parts_of_speech[[1]]))
mixed_query(numbers, strings)
#>
#> Sort time: 0.0664213 seconds

#> ...
#> 97 0.3584 leadiest

The timing results indicate that sorting \(2 \times 10 ^ 5\) tuples is on the order of 1/10th second, whereas the range query returned in less than a millisecond.
Nearest neighbor searching requires a suitable distance function be defined for all types. The template scalar_dist
can be specialized for different types. It returns the distance along a single dimension. Currently, nearest neighbor distances are hardwired as the L2 norm of the returned scalar differences computed for each dimension. The computation above uses the following definitions.
template<class InputIt1, class InputIt2>
double set_similarity(InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1,
InputIt2 first2, InputIt2 last2)
{double num = 0, denom = 0;
while (first1 != last1 && first2 != last2) {
if (*first1 < *first2) {
++first1; ++denom;else {
} if (!(*first2 < *first1)) {
++first1; ++num;
}
++first2; ++denom;
}
}std::distance(first1, last1) + std::distance(first2, last2);
denom += return num / denom;
}
namespace kdtools {
template <>
double scalar_dist(const std::string& lhs, const std::string& rhs)
{std::string a(lhs), b(rhs);
std::sort(begin(a), end(a));
std::sort(begin(b), end(b));
return 1 - set_similarity(begin(a), end(a),
begin(b), end(b));
}
// namespace kdtools }
The set_similarity
template is adapted from the Standard Library set_intersection
template and produces a number between 0 and 1. I have not attempted to prove this distance is metric, so the results may not be entirely correct. Also, there is no facility currently available to weight distances in different dimensions or override the default root-sum-of-squares algorithm for the multivariate distance.
Since version 0.4.0, kd_tools
all predicates and distance functions have specializations or overloads to handle pointers to tuple-like objects. Hence, any of the routines can sort or search a vector of pointers to tuples, which act as indices into the original data.
// [[Rcpp::depends(kdtools)]]
// [[Rcpp::plugins(cpp17)]]
#include "mixed_query.h"
// [[Rcpp::export]]
void sort_pointers(NumericVector c1, CharacterVector c2)
{auto n = c1.size();
range_type data;
data.reserve(n);
transform(begin(c1), end(c1), begin(c2), back_inserter(data), make_key());
pointers_type idx1, idx2;
idx1.reserve(n); idx2.reserve(n);
for (auto& x : data) {
idx1.push_back(&x);
idx2.push_back(&x);
}
kd_sort(begin(idx1), end(idx1));
kd_sort(begin(idx2), end(idx2), greater_key());
"Original order\n\n"; print_range(data);
Rcout << "\nOrder by less\n\n"; print_range(idx1);
Rcout << "\nOrder by greater\n\n"; print_range(idx2);
Rcout << }
Here, greater_key
has overloads for both string and double types.
sort_pointers(numbers, strings)
#> Original order
#>
#> 0 0.8772 tip-and-run
#> 1 0.1141 moundsmen
#> 2 0.5336 flower-pecker
#> ...
#> 208256 0.5465 gutser
#> 208257 0.8492 rcd
#> 208258 0.5412 nonpacifistic
#>
#> Order by less
#>
#> 0 0.0004163 abdicative
#> 1 0.002474 abided
#> 2 0.004942 a-bomb
#> ...
#> 208256 0.9986 zakaria
#> 208257 0.9974 zap
#> 208258 0.9974 zwiebel
#>
#> Order by greater
#>
#> 0 0.9986 zakaria
#> 1 0.9974 zwiebel
#> 2 0.9974 zap
#> ...
#> 208256 0.002474 abided
#> 208257 0.004942 a-bomb
#> 208258 0.0004163 abdicative
Note that the forward and reverse sorting do not give exactly the same result (in reverse) owing to ties.
The kdtools package implements efficient sorting and searching of arbitrary tuple-like object in C++. One of the major design decisions was to make the number of dimensions fixed at compile time. This is a reasonable tradeoff as these methods break down in high dimensions where search times will be no better than that of brute-force random searching. Nonetheless, a runtime-dimensioned extension would be easy to add and could allow working with runtime-determined types as is common in R. The current implementation is a demonstration, however it does illustrate the value of the Standard Library as the algorithms are constructed from Standard Library components. The generic nature of the kdtools implementation is an attractive feature as it permits flexibility and can be adapted to arbitrary tuple-like data as needed. Modern development of C++ has emphasized tuple-style data and algorithms and kdtools extends these developments.

RMIFailureHandler
Interface
Thejava.rmi.server.RMIFailureHandler
interface provides a method for specifying how the RMI runtime should respond when server socket creation fails (except during object export).
package java.rmi.server; public interface RMIFailureHandler { public boolean failure(Exception ex); }
Thefailure
method is invoked with the exception that prevented the RMI runtime from creating ajava.net.ServerSocket
. The method returnstrue
if the runtime should attempt to retry andfalse
otherwise.Before this method can be invoked, a failure handler needs to be registered via the
RMISocketFactory.setFailureHandler
call. If the failure handler is not set, the RMI runtime attempts to re-create theServerSocket
after waiting for a short period of time.Note that the
RMIFailureHandler
is not called whenServerSocket
creation fails upon initial export of the object. TheRMIFailureHandler
will be called when there is an attempt to create aServerSocket
after a failed accept on thatServerSocket
.

Positions t at the next parse tree in the iteration. Tree iterators are initialized to the position before the first parse tree, so this method must be called before creating a valuator from a tree.
If a tree iterator is positioned after the last parse, the tree is said to be “exhausted”. A tree iterator for a bocage with no parse trees is considered to be “exhausted” when initialized. If the tree iterator is exhausted,
marpa_t_next()
returns −1 as a termination indicator, and sets the error code toMARPA_ERR_TREE_EXHAUSTED
.Return value: On success, a non-negative value. If the tree iterator is exhausted, −1. On failure, −2.
The parse counter counts the number of parse trees traversed so far. The count includes the current iteration of the tree, so that a value of 0 indicates that the tree iterator is at its initialized position, before the first parse tree.
Return value: The number of parses traversed so far. Always succeeds.


Small explanation of daemon printouts:
modval 8668 vs 3333 - means that somebody bet with odds=2 and lose (player's number - 8668, house number - 3333)
modval 2293 vs 3333 - same, but win (player's number - 2293, house number - 3333)
odds=2 -> house number=3333

I would currently be showing work at Celerbrating Ceramics, at Waterperry, Oxford.
POTFEST in the Park is taking place!
I will again be participating in Potfest in the Park 2020, Hutton-in-the-Forest, Penrith, Cumbria. This event has moved from July to September 4th, 5th & 6th. Fri, Sat & Sun 10am – 5pm daily. A great day out.
Next showing work at the Oxford Ceramics Fair, St Edwards School, Oxford, October 2020
North Wall Gallery, South Parade, Oxford, OX2 7JN
in association with Oxfordshire Art Weeks
Wednesday 24th April to Friday 24th May 2013
Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm, Sat 12pm - 4pm, Sun 10pm-4pm
Craft Potters’ Association Members, Philip Jolley and Rose Wallace unite to explore ‘The Past’ as a notion. This theme is deeply embedded in the core of their ceramic practice; however, both express distinctly different methods in inspiration, creation and outcome. This selling exhibition highlights the similarities and contrasts in their approach.
Recent pieces have evolved from the use of layers and colour and he is still very much interested in hidden detail and surface quality. For Philip, the suggestion of what might have once been and archaeological finds and remains, with their contrast in materials and surfaces, is most interesting.
“The pieces are meant to be touched, their tactile quality and surface contrasts are an integral part of the final intention.”
Rose is based at Magdalen Road Studios, her work references traditional Staffordshire mantelpiece ornaments; these unique ceramic figures are crafted from casts of contemporary packaging and discarded domestic ephemera. “Quietly narrative, they capture the minutiae of modern life.”


Our swaps are now limited to only those moves that are adjacent to our starting selection. After we make a move we then need to determine if we made a match if we did we can remove those objects.

Gathering his sword belt from beside the throne with a flow of Air, and the scepter too, Rand opened the gateway right there before the dais, a slash of light that rotated, widening to give a view of an empty dark-paneled chamber more than six hundred miles from Caemlyn, in the Sun Palace, the Royal Palace of Cairhien. Set aside for his use this way, the room held no furnishings, but dark blue floor tiles and wood-paneled walls glistened from polishing. Windowless, the room was bright anyway; eight gilded stand-lamps burned day and night, mirrors magnifying the oil-fed flames. He paused to buckle on his sword while Sulin and Urien opened the door to the corridor and led veiled Maidens and Red Shields through before him.
In this case he thought their caution ridiculous. The broad corridor outside, the only way to reach the room, was already crowded with thirty or so Far Aldazar Din, Brothers of the Eagle, and nearly two dozen of Berelain’s Mayeners in red-painted breastplates and rimmed pot-like helmets that came down to the nape of the neck in back. If there was one place anywhere that Rand knew he needed no Maidens, it was Cairhien, more so even than Tear.
A Brother of the Eagle was already loping down the hallway by the time Rand appeared, and a Mayener awkwardly clutching spear and shortsword as he followed the taller Aielman. In fact, a small army trailed after the Far Aldazar Din, servants in various liveries, a Tairen Defender of the Stone in burnished breastplate and black-and-gold coat, a Cairhienin soldier with the front of his head shaved, his breastplate much more battered than the Tairen’s, two young Aiel women in dark heavy skirts and loose white blouses whom Rand thought he recognized as apprentices to Wise Ones. News of his arrival would spread quickly. It always did.
At least Alanna was far away. Verin, too, but most of all Alanna. He still felt her, even at this distance, just a vague impression that she was somewhere to the west. Like the feel of a hand just a hair from touching the back of his neck. Was there any way to get free of her? He seized saidin again for a moment, but that still made no difference.
You never escape the traps you spin yourself. Lews Therin’s murmur sounded confused. Only a greater power can break a power, and then you’re trapped again. Trapped forever so you cannot die.
Rand shivered. Sometimes it really did seem that voice was speaking to him. If only it would make sense once in a while, having it in his head would be easier.
“I see you, Car’a’carn,” one of the Brothers of the Eagle said.  “I am Corman of the Mosaada Goshien. May you find shade this day.”
Rand had no chance to answer properly before the pink-cheeked Mayener officer was shouldering in.  “My Lord Dragon, I am Havien Nurelle, Lord Lieutenant in the Winged Guards”—there were wings worked on the sides of his helmet—“in service to Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron, First of Mayene, and at your service also.” Corman gave him an amused sideways look.
“I see you, Havien Nurelle,” Rand said gravely, and the boy blinked. Boy? Come to think on it, he might be no younger than Rand. That was a shock! “If you and Corman will show me—” Suddenly he realized Aviendha was gone. He nearly broke his back trying to avoid the woman, and the first time in weeks he agreed to let her near him, she slipped away as soon as his head turned! “Take me to Berelain and Rhuarc,” he ordered gruffly. “If they’re not together, take me to whoever is closer, and find the other.” Running to the Wise Ones, no doubt, to report on what he had been up to. He would leave the woman behind here.
What you want is what you cannot have. What you cannot have is what you want. Lews Therin laughed maniacally. It did not bother Rand as much as it once had. Not quite as much, What had to be endured, could be.
Discussing who was nearest, Corman and Havien left their men behind, but they still made quite a procession, with all the Maidens and Red Shields following close, crowding the square-vaulted hallway. The corridor had a dark, heavy feel despite lighted stand-lamps. There was very little color anywhere, except in occasional tapestries, and the Cairhienin tried to make up for it by having everything rigidly arranged, whether embroidered flowers or birds, deer or leopards in a hunt, or nobles in battle. For the Cairhienin servants who scurried out of the way, livery usually meant colored stripes on the cuffs and a house badge embroidered on the breast; sometimes a collar or sleeves in House colors, very seldom an entire coat or dress. Only upper servants would show more color. Cairhienin liked order, and disliked flamboyance. An occasional niche held a golden bowl or a Sea Folk vase, but stark and worked with straight lines, trying to disguise their curves if they had any. Whenever the hall gave way to a square-columned colonnade, if there was a garden below, the walks made a precise grid, every flower bed the same size, shrubs and small trees rigidly pruned and spaced. Had the drought and heat allowed any flowers, he was sure they too would have bloomed in straight lines.
Rand wished Dyelin could see those bowls and vases. The Shaido had carried away whatever they could lift, all the way across Cairhien, and burned what they could when they could not carry it, but such behavior violated ji’e’toh. The Aiel who followed Rand and had saved the city had taken, but by their rules, when they took a place in battle they were allowed a fifth of what it held and not a spoon more. Bael had agreed, reluctantly, to forgo even that in Andor, but Rand thought no one without a list would believe anything had been taken here at all.
For all their discussion, Corman and Havien failed to find either Rhuarc or Berelain before they were found themselves instead.
The two came to meet Rand alone in one of the colonnades, without entourage, which only made him feel as though he was leading a parade himself. Rhuarc in his cadin’sor, gray streaking his dark red hair, towered over Berelain, a pale, beautiful young woman in a blue and white dress cut low enough to make Rand clear his throat when she curtsied. Shoufa looped loosely around his neck, Rhuarc carried no weapon but a heavy Aiel knife. She wore the Diadem of the First, a golden hawk in flight, in shining black hair that made waves to bare shoulders.
Perhaps it was just as well Aviendha had gone; sometimes she had a violent way toward women she even thought were putting themselves forward with him.
Suddenly he realized that Lews Therin was humming tunelessly. Something about it seemed troubling, but what . . . ? Humming. Like a man admiring a pretty woman who was not aware of him.
Stop that! Rand shouted inside his head. Stop looking through my eyes! No telling whether he heard—was there someone there to hear?—but the humming stopped.
Havien went to one knee, but Berelain gestured him to rise almost absently. “I trust all is well with my Lord Dragon, and with Andor.” She had the sort of voice that made a man listen. “And with your friends, Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, as well.”
“All is well,” he told her. She always asked after Mat and Perrin, however often he told her one was on his way to Tear and the other he had not seen since before going to the Waste. “And with you?”
Berelain glanced at Rhuarc as they fell in on either side of Rand, proceeding into the next stretch of corridor. “As well as can be expected, my Lord Dragon.”
“It is well, Rand al’Thor,” Rhuarc said. There was not much expression on his face, but then, there seldom was.
Rand knew both understood why he had put Berelain in charge here. Cold reasons. The first ruler to offer him alliance freely, he could trust her because she needed him, now more than ever since that alliance, to keep Tear from Mayene’s throat. The High Lords had always tried to treat Mayene like a province. Besides, a foreigner from a small nation hundreds of leagues south, she had no reason to favor one faction over another in Cairhien, she had no hope of seizing power, and she knew the running of a country. Hard reasons. Given how Aiel felt about Cairhienin and Cairhienin about Aiel, putting Rhuarc in charge would have led to bloodshed, and Cairhien had had enough of that.
The arrangement seemed to be working out well. As with Semaradrid and Weiramon in Tear, the Cairhienin accepted a Mayener as governor as much because she was not Aiel as because Rand appointed her. Berelain did know what she was doing, and she at least listened to advice offered by Rhuarc, speaking for the clan chiefs remaining in Cairhien. No doubt she had to deal with the Wise Ones as well—they would give up meddling, which they did not see as such, a day after Aes Sedai did—but she had not mentioned them so far.
“And Egwene?” Rand said. “Is she any better?”
Berelain’s lips compressed slightly. She did not like Egwene. But then, Egwene did not like her. No reason for it, that he knew, but there it was.
Rhuarc spread his hands. “So far as Amys tells me.” As well as being a Wise One, Amys was his wife. One of his wives; he had two, one of the odder Aiel customs among many Rand found odd. “She says Egwene yet needs rest, light exercise, plenty of food and fresh air. I think she takes walks in the cool of the day.” Berelain gave him a wry look; the faint sheen of perspiration on her face did not detract from her beauty, but of course Rhuarc was not sweating at all.
“I would like to see her. If the Wise Ones permit,” Rand added. The Wise Ones were as jealous of their prerogatives as any Aes Sedai he had ever met, making sure of them with sept chiefs, clan chiefs and perhaps most of all with the Car’a’carn. “But first we . . . ”
A noise had been catching the edge of hearing as they approached another place where one wall of the corridor was replaced by balustraded columns. The clatter of practice swords. He glanced down in passing. At least that was his intention. What he saw in the stone-paved courtyard below stilled his tongue and stopped his feet. Under the eye of a stiff-backed Cairhienin in a plain gray coat, a dozen sweat-drenched women flailed away in pairs, some wearing riding dresses with divided skirts, some men’s coats and breeches. Most were awkward in the forms if vigorous, while others flowed from stance to stance smoothly yet swung the bundled-lathe blades hesitantly. All wore grim determination like a cloak, though grimness was likely to break into rueful laughter when one realized she had made a mistake.
The stiff-backed fellow clapped his hands, and the panting women leaned on their practice swords, some working arms clearly unused to this. From beyond Rand’s sight servants darted out, bowing and curtsying right and left as they proffered trays with pitchers and cups. But if they were servants, their livery was odd for Cairhien. They wore white. Dresses or coats and breeches, all pure white.
“What is that?” he asked. Rhuarc made a disgusted sound.
“Some of the Cairhienin women are quite impressed with the Maidens,” Berelain said, smiling. “They want to be Maidens. Only of the sword, I suppose, not the spear.” Sulin stiffened indignantly, and handtalk flashed among the Maidens; the gestures seemed outraged. “These are daughters of noble Houses,” Berelain went on. “I let them stay here because their parents would not allow this. There are nearly a dozen schools in the city now that will teach the sword to women, but many need to sneak away to attend. It is not only women, of course. The younger Cairhienin in general seem very impressed with the Aiel They are adopting ji’e’toh.”
“They are mangling it,” Rhuarc growled. “Many ask about our ways, and who would not teach one who would learn what is proper? Even a treekiller.” He looked ready to spit. “But they take what they are told and change it.”
“Not change, really,” Berelain protested. “Only adapt, I think.” Rhuarc’s eyebrows rose a fraction, and she sighed. Havien’s face was a picture of affront, seeing his ruler challenged. Neither Rhuarc nor Berelain noticed, they were intent on Rand. He had the feeling this was an argument the pair had had often.
“They change it,” Rhuarc repeated deliberately.  Gai’shain!” The other Aielmen muttered; handtalk flickered among the Maidens again.  “What battle or raid were they taken in? What toh have they incurred?  If one strikes another while both are armed, the one struck pleads for a duel, and if it is refused, puts on white. What has that to do with honor or obligation? They change everything, and do things to make a Sharaman blush. It should be stopped, Rand al’Thor.”
Berelain’s jaw firmed stubbornly, her hands tightening to fists on her skirts. “Young men always fight.” Her tone was condescending enough that you might almost have forgotten she was young herself. “But since they began this, not one has died in a duel. Not one. That alone is worth letting them go on. Besides which, I have faced down fathers and mothers, some powerful, who wanted their daughters sent home. I will not deny those young women what I promised them.”
“Keep them if you wish,” Rhuarc said. “Let them learn the sword, if they wish. But let them stop claiming to follow ji’e’toh. Let there be an end to them putting on white and claiming to be gai’shain. What they do offends.” His chill blue eyes were fixed on Berelain, but her large dark eyes remained steady on Rand.
He hesitated only a moment. He thought he understood what drove the younger Cairhienin to ji’e’toh. Twice conquered by Aiel in twenty-odd years, they had to wonder whether the secret lay there. Or maybe they thought their defeats just showed that the Aiel way was better. Clearly the Aiel were upset by what they saw as a mockery of their beliefs, but in truth, some of the ways Aiel became gai’shain seemed no less peculiar. For instance, speaking to a man of his father-in-law or to a woman of her mother-in-law—second-father and second-mother, in the Aiel way—was considered hostile enough to justify drawing weapons unless they had mentioned them first. If the offended party instead touched you after you spoke, under ji’e’toh it was the same as touching an armed enemy without harming him. That gained much ji and incurred much toh, but the one touched could demand to be made gai’shain to lessen the other’s honor and their own obligation. By ji’e’toh, a proper demand to be made gai’shain had to be honored, so a man or woman could end up gai’shain for mentioning somebody’s mother-in-law. Hardly less foolish than what these Cairhienin were doing. Really it came down to one thing, though. He had put Berelain in charge; he had to support her. It was as simple as that.  Leave them be.
Rhuarc grunted sourly, and Berelain smiled. To Rand’s surprise, for one moment she seemed about to put her tongue out at the Aielman. Only his imagination, of course. She was only a few years older than himself, but she had been ruling Mayene while he was still guarding sheep in the Two Rivers.
Sending Corman and Havien back to their guard, Rand moved on, with Rhuarc and Berelain to either side and the rest following close. A parade. All it needed was drums and trumpets.
The clatter of practice swords started up again behind him. Another change, however small. Even Moiraine, who had long studied the Prophecies of the Dragon, had not known whether his Breaking the World again meant he would bring on a new Age, but he was certainly bringing changes, one way and another. As many by accident, it seemed, as on purpose.
When they reached the door of the study Berelain and Rhuarc shared—rising suns decorated the long panels of dark polished wood, indicating some royal use once—Rand stopped, turning to Sulin and Urien. If he could not dispense with all these guards here, there was nowhere he could. “I mean to return to Caemlyn an hour or so after sunrise tomorrow. Until then, visit the tents, see your friends, and try not to start any blood feuds. If you insist, two of you can hang about to protect me from mice; I don’t think anything larger will jump out at me here.”
Urien grinned slightly and nodded, though he did gesture about head-high to a Cairhienin and murmur, “The mice can be big here.”
For an instant Rand thought Sulin meant to argue. Her flat stare lasted only a moment, though, before she nodded. Still tight-mouthed, however. Doubtless he would hear the argument in full once there were only Maidens to hear.
A large room, the study presented sharp contrasts even at his second sight of it. On the high worked-plaster ceiling, straight lines and sharp angles made elaborately repeating patterns, and around the walls as well as on a wide fireplace faced with deep blue marble. A massive table stood in the middle of the floor, covered with papers and maps, marking a boundary of sorts. The two tall narrow windows to one side of the fireplace held clay pots on deep stools, filled with small plants that showed a few tiny red-and-white blossoms. On that side of the table a long wall hanging showed ships at sea, and men hauling nets filled with oilfish, the source of Mayene’s wealth; an embroidery hoop, with needle and red thread dangling from a piece of half-finished work, sat on a high-backed chair wide enough for Berelain to curl up in if she wished. There was a single carpet on the floor, in flowerlike patterns of gold and red and blue, and a small table beside the chair held a silver wine pitcher and goblets on a silver tray, as well as a slim book bound in red with a gold-worked piece of leather marking Berelain’s place.
The floor on the other side of the table was layered in brightly colored rugs, with tasseled cushions of red and blue and green scattered about.  Two dozen books of all sizes, from small enough to fit a coat pocket to large enough that even Rhuarc must need both hands to pick them up, made a neat row across the floor along the wall. Aiel made everything in the Waste that they needed except books; peddlers had made fortunes among Aiel hauling nothing but books.
“Now,” Rand said when the door was closed, leaving him alone with Rhuarc and Berelain, “how are things really?”
“As I said,” Berelain replied. “As well as can be expected. There is more talk of Caraline Damodred and Toram Riatin in the streets, but most people are too tired to want another war for a time.”
“It is said ten thousand Andoran soldiers have joined them.” Rhuarc began thumbing his pipe full. “Rumor always multiplies by ten when not twenty, yet it is troubling if true. The scouts say their numbers are not large, but left to grow they could be more than an annoyance. The yellowfly is almost too small to see, but if you leave its egg in your skin, you will lose an arm or leg before it hatches—if it does not kill you.”
Rand grunted noncommittally. Darlin’s rebellion in Tear was not the only one he had to face. House Riatin and House Damodred, the last two to hold the Sun Throne, had been bitter rivals before Rand appeared, and likely would be again if he disappeared. Now they had put rivalry aside—on the surface at least; what went on below the surface with Cairhienin could be something else entirely—and, like Darlin, meant to gather strength somewhere Toram and Caraline thought safe. In their case, the foothills of the Spine of the World, as far from the city as they could be and remain in the country. They had gathered the same mix as Darlin, nobles mainly of middle rank, displaced country folk, some outright mercenaries and perhaps a few former brigands. Niall’s hand might be there, as well, as it was with Darlin.
Those foothills were not nearly so impenetrable as Haddon Mirk, but Rand held his hand: he had too many enemies in too many places. If he paused to swat Rhuarc’s yellowfly here, he might find a leopard on his back somewhere else. He had it in mind to take the leopard first. If only he knew where all the other leopards were.
“What of the Shaido?” he asked, setting the Dragon Scepter down on a half-unrolled map. It showed the north of Cairhien, and the mountains called Kinslayer’s Dagger. The Shaido might not be as big a leopard as Sammael, but they were a sight bigger than High Lord Darlin or Lady Caraline. Berelain handed him a goblet of wine, and he thanked her. “Have the Wise Ones said anything at all about Sevanna’s intentions?”
He would have thought at least one or two could listen and look around just a little when she journeyed up to Kinslayer’s Dagger. He would wager the Shaido Wise Ones did when they came below the River Gaelin. He said neither thing, of course. The Shaido might have abandoned ji’e’toh, but Rhuarc had a traditional Aiel view of spying. The Wise Ones’ views were another thing again, though exactly what could be hard to pin down.
“They say the Shaido are building holds.” Rhuarc paused, using a pair of tongs to hold a hot coal from the sand-filled brass bowl over his pipe. When he had it puffed alight, he went on. “They do not think the Shaido ever mean to return to the Threefold Land. Nor do I.”
Rand scrubbed his free hand through his hair. Caraline and Toram festering, and the Shaido settling in this side of the Dragonwall. A far more dangerous brew than Darlin. And Alanna’s unseen finger seemed on the point of touching him. “Is there any other good news?”
“There is fighting in Shamara,” Rhuarc said around his pipestem.
“Where?” Rand asked.
“Shamara. Or Shara. They give many names for their land. Co’dansin, Tomaka, Kigalij, others. Any could be true, or none. They lie without thought, those people. Unwind every bolt of silk you trade for, or find that only the outside is silk. And if the next time in the tradehold you happen to find the man who traded with you, he will deny seeing you before, or coming to trade before. If you press it, the others kill him to appease you, then say only he could do anything concerning the silk, and try to trade you water as wine.”
“Why is fighting in Shara good news?” Rand asked softly. He did not really want to hear the answer. Berelain was listening with interest; no one except the Aiel and the Sea Folk knew much more of the closed lands beyond the Waste than that ivory and silk came from there. That, and the tales in The Travels of Jain Farstrider, which were probably too fanciful to be true. Though come to think of it, Rand did remember the lying being mentioned, and the different names, except the examples Farstrider had given matched none of Rhuarc’s as far as he could recall.
“There is never fighting in Shara, Rand al’Thor. It is said the Trolloc Wars infested them”—Trollocs had entered the Aiel Waste too; since then the Trolloc name for the Aiel Waste was the Dying Ground—“but if there has been one battle since, no word of it has come to the tradeholds. Not much word of anything outside the holdwalls does come inside. They say their land has always been one, not many as here, always at peace. When you came from Rhuidean as the Car’a’carn, word of you spread, and of your title among the wetlanders here. The Dragon Reborn. Word traveled to the tradeholds along the Great Rift and the Cliffs of Dawn.” Rhuarc’s eyes were calm and steady; this did not trouble him. “Now word comes back across the Threefold Land. There is fighting in Shara, and Sharamen in the tradeholds ask when the Dragon Reborn will Break the World.”
Suddenly the wine tasted sour. Another place like Tarabon and Arad Doman, torn just by hearing of him. How far did the ripples spread? Were there wars he would never hear of in lands he would never hear of, because of him?
Death rides on my shoulder, Lews Therin muttered. Death walks in my footsteps. I am death.
Shuddering, Rand set his goblet on the table. How much did the Prophecies demand in all those tantalizing hints and grandly roundabout verses? Was he supposed to add Shara, or whatever it was really called, to Cairhien and the rest? The entire world? How, when he could not even hold Tear or Cairhien completely? It would take more than one man’s lifetime. Andor. If he was meant to rip every other land apart, rip the whole world, he would hold Andor safe for Elayne. Somehow.
“Shara, or whatever it’s called, is a long way from here. One step at a time, and Sammael is the first step.”
“Sammael,” Rhuarc agreed. Berelain shivered, and emptied her goblet.
For a time they talked of the Aiel who were still moving south. Rand intended the hammer being made in Tear to be clearly big enough to smash anything Sammael could put in its way. Rhuarc seemed content; it was Berelain who complained that more needed to be kept in Cairhien. Until Rhuarc shushed her. She muttered something about him being too stubborn for his own good, but she went on to the efforts to resettle farmers on the land. She thought by next year there would be no need for grain from Tear. If the drought ever broke. If it did not, Tear would not be supplying grain to itself, much less anywhere else. The first tendrils of trade were beginning to reappear. Merchants had begun coming in from Andor and Tear and Murandy, down from the Borderlands. A Sea Folk ship had even dropped anchor in the river that very morning, which she found strange, so far from the sea, but welcome.
Berelain’s face took on an intensity, and her voice a brisk tone, as she moved around the table to take up this sheaf of papers or that, discussing what Cairhien needed to buy and what it could afford to buy, what it had to sell now and what it would have in six months, in a year. Depending on the weather, of course. She brushed by that as if it was of no matter, though giving Rand a level look that said he was the Dragon Reborn and if there was any way to stop the heat, he should find it. Rand had seen her meltingly seductive, he had seen her frightened, defiant, wrapped in arrogance, but never like this. She seemed a different woman altogether. Rhuarc, seated on one of his cushions puffing on his pipe, appeared amused as he watched her.
“ . . . this school of yours might do some good,” she said, frowning at a long sheet covered in a precise hand, “if they would stop thinking of new things long enough to make what they have already thought of.” She tapped her lips with a finger, peering at nothing thoughtfully. “You say give them what gold they ask, but if you would let me hold back unless they actually—”
Jalani put her plump face in at the door—Aiel seemed not to understand knocking—and said, “Mangin is here to speak with Rhuarc and you, Rand al’Thor.”
“Tell him I’ll be happy to talk with him later—” Rand got that far before Rhuarc broke in quietly.
“You should speak with him now, Rand al’Thor.” The clan chief’s face looked grave; Berelain had replaced the long paper on the table and was studying the floor.
“Very well,” Rand said slowly.
Jalani’s head vanished, and Mangin came in. Taller than Rand, he had been one of those who crossed the Dragonwall in search of He Who Comes With the Dawn, one of the handful who took the Stone of Tear. “Six days ago I killed a man,” he began without preamble, “a treekiller, and I must know if I have toh to you, Rand al’Thor.”
“To me?” Rand said. “You can defend yourself, Mangin; Light, you know tha—” For a moment he was silent, meeting gray eyes that were sober but certainly not afraid. Curious, maybe. Rhuarc’s face told him nothing; Berelain was still not meeting his gaze. “He did attack you, didn’t he?”
Mangin shook his head slightly. “I saw that he deserved to die, so I killed him.” He said it conversationally; he saw the drains needed cleaning, so he cleaned them. “But you have said we cannot kill the oathbreakers except in battle, or if they attack us. Do I have toh toward you now?”
Rand remembered what he had said . . . him will I hang. His chest felt tight. “Why did he deserve to die?”
“He wore what he had no right to,” Mangin replied.
“Wore what? What did he wear, Mangin?”
Rhuarc answered, touching his left forearm. “This.” He meant the Dragon coiled around his arm. Clan chiefs did not display them often, or even speak of them; almost everything about the markings were shrouded in mystery, and the chiefs were content to leave it so. “It was a thing of needles and inks, of course.” A tattoo.
“He was pretending to be a clan chief?” Rand realized he was searching for an excuse . . . him will I hang. Mangin had been one of the first to follow him.
“No,” Mangin said. “He was drinking, and showing off what he should not have had. I see your eyes, Rand al’Thor.” He grinned suddenly. “It is a puzzle.  You know the penalty for murder.”
“A rope around the neck, as these wetlanders use.” Mangin nodded thoughtfully. “Tell me where and when; I will be there. May you find water and shade today, Rand al’Thor.”
“May you find water and shade, Mangin,” Rand told him sadly.
“I suppose,” Berelain said when the door closed behind Mangin, “that he really will walk to his own hanging of his own accord. Oh, don’t look at me that way, Rhuarc. I don’t mean to impugn him, or Aiel honor.”
“Six days,” Rand growled, rounding on her. “You knew why he was here, both of you. Six days ago, and you left it to me. Murder is murder, Berelain.”
She drew herself up regally, but she sounded defensive. “I am not used to men coming to me and saying they have just committed murder. Bloody ji’e’toh.  The curses sounded odd coming from her mouth.
“You have no cause to be angry with her, Rand al’Thor,” Rhuarc put in. “Mangin’s toh is to you, not to her. Or to me.”
“His toh was to the man he murdered,” Rand said coldly. Rhuarc looked shocked. “The next time somebody commits murder, don’t wait for me. You follow the law!” That way, perhaps he would not have to pass sentence again on a man he knew and liked. He would if he had to. He knew that, and it saddened him. What had he become?
The wheel of a man’s life. Lews Therin murmured. No mercy. No pity.
