To prevent the Trollocs from following, Moiraine uses the One Power to sink the ferry, incidentally killing the ferryman, disturbing the villagers. They flee across the ferry at Tarren's Ferry. The Two Rivers villagers (Mat, Egwene, Rand, and Perrin) flee with Moiraine and Lan from pursuing Trollocs and a Fade. In a Whitecloak encampment, the Whitecloaks burn an Aes Sedai. Rand, Perrin, Mat, and Egwene reluctantly join Moiraine and Lan on their journey back to the White Tower to keep the Trollocs away from Emond's Field. Moiraine battles the Trollocs with the One Power and is injured. Trollocs, beasts following the Dark One, ambush Emond's Field and Nynaeve al'Meara, the current Wisdom, is taken and Perrin accidentally kills his wife Laila. Rand, who is besotted with Egwene, is disappointed that she intends to become the next Wisdom, a village leader and healer who cannot wed. Their search leads them to Emond's Field and four possible candidates – villagers Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, Mat Cauthon, and Egwene al'Vere – whom they plan to take to the White Tower, the Aes Sedai seat of power. Some Aes Sedai wish to eliminate male channelers, but Moiraine and her Warder Lan Mandragoran search for the Dragon's reincarnation to defeat the Dark One, a force of primordial evil. Years past, the male half of the One Power became corrupted, driving male channelers insane, and Lews Therin Telamon, a channeler known as the Dragon, tore the world apart in his madness. Moiraine is an Aes Sedai, who can channel an elemental force called the One Power.
