He is payed generously by some mysterious guy to carry a sealed letter over to ... I cant remember where, with a promise of more money upon arrival. But when he opens it, the letter says he is to be robbed, taken prisioner and killed. And what puzzled me most was who signed the letter.. am I remembering correctly? was it the king of Cairhien?
Domon was in possession of one of the DO's seals, and an object that some men said felt warm when they held it which we can believe to be an angreal of sorts attuned to a male channeler. Dark Friends would be after the seal though. Domon in his thoughts recalled buying it from a man who had a shop near the docks in Saldea iirc, who had sold it for far less than he had expected to pay for a piece of heartstone. Domon's thoughts on the man not being able to afford a piece of heartstone which was why the man hadn't sold it as such nor would have been crazy enough to make such a claim. We can deduce that the dark friends tracked the seal down to the man who sold it to the shop keeper, and from there to Domon.
My thoughts on the matter is that Demandred or Ishy/Moridin (Depending on the version you believe or RJ intended, the whole Taimandred theory, or later as was confirmed in later books as being Moridin who was Taim's patron forsaken) was looking for a seal to place a tracker on to give to Taim in order for Taim to give it to Rand, knowing that Rand already had some seals and that Rand would put it there with the others he had, and at a later time they could be tracked down and replaced with the fakes. It was obvious by Taim's reaction that he fully knew what the seal was when he gave it to Rand at their first meeting and Rand in his madness nearly broke it. After all, Taim was allowed to escape Aes Sedai custody by the help of one of the Forsaken and was in their camp when he meets Rand.
Mask of mirrors was widely used by the forsaken. Remember the closer to the person the illusion was, the easier to maintain. Of course we have some far out illusions the forsaken use to mask their appearance, especially the female forsaken like what Elayne later uses with the captured dark friends. Taim when he WAS Taimandred could probably have used the TP, but due to the risks he likely just inverted the MOM weave. I do not believe Demandred would have been killed and reincarnated into a new body entirely off scene, though when he went to Shara due to the caste system there and him not being marked as a channeler and as old as he was could have gotten him ensnared in a trap, finding himself in an Ayyad village where everyone channels. Maybe that accounts for his impossible ability with the power later on shrugging aside so many attacks and attempts to shield him aside from the amount of the power he wielded from the circle.
Yeah as we have seen the MOM isn't that hard and easy to simply invert the weave.. Asmo and Lanfear in the waste or Mas in the tower. Semi only got exposed as using her inverted weave for her MOM thanks to CAs and her trinkets. So my guess pretty standard to use MOM then hide the weave. If for instance Masdidn't invert the weave people would of been wondering why she was holding the power all the time. We can guess they weren't using the TP since before the last battle access to the TP was rarely given out and was a symbol of the DO's favor. They were also scared of using it too much since it becmae addictive. So needing it to maintain your disguise would of been a good way to end up starting to go mad. The main thing is to pick a new image or someone not well know or with few friends. The Demandred would only need to trick Bashere since he would of been the only person who knew what Taim looked like but didn't know him very well. My guess is while in Shara that Demandred was using nothing but the TP.
Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera combines Hindu philosophy with Marxist critical theory to tell a genre-bending, millennia-spanning tale that aims for the head, not the heart. There is a certain pleasure in reading this collection of postmodern stories, but it is an intellectual pleasure, not the emotional pleasure of reading a great yarn.

Picking up from ending of the first novel, The Great Hunt finds Rand and his compatriots hunting for the Horn of Valere. An artifact of great power, the Horn is believed to have the power to summon great heroes to the one who sounds it. The Horn is also said to be needed to begin the fabled Last Battle between Light and Dark.

Matt Morrison has been writing about comics and superheroes for nearly two decades. His work can also be seen at KabOOOOOm.com, ScreenRant and No Flying, No Tights. When he is not reading comics and writing, he enjoys role-playing, cosplay and photography.
The book begins a few weeks after the end of The Eye of the World. Rand has remained in Fal Dara, practicing the sword with Lan, even though he had said he would get as far away as possible. Any plans he had to leave are shelved when a contingent of Aes Sedai visit, the Amyrlin Seat among them. Moiraine convinces the Amyrlin, Siuan, that Rand must be allowed to go his own way, and that she will be there when he needs her.
Trollocs attack the town's keep, freeing Fain from the dungeons and taking with them the Horn of Valere and Mat's dagger. Rand goes in search for Egwene, and knowing she used to visit Fain, he goes to the dungeons where he was held. While there, he is found out to tinker with evidence by one of the Aes Sedai, Liandrin of the Red Ajah. She uses the Power on him to try and get answers to her questions. The Trollocs have somehow left Dark Prophecies on the wall, linking Luc with Isam, Lan's cousin.
Rand is brought before the Amyrlin, Moiraine, and another Aes Sedai, Verin, who has realized that Rand must be the Dragon Reborn. They tell Rand that he was born on Dragonmount at the end of the Aiel War, where Tam, his father, found him. They also tell him he is the Dragon Reborn, which he refuses to accept. Moiraine convinces Rand to follow after the Horn, telling him it is important that Mat gets the dagger back.
On the day when everyone would leave on their own way - Rand, Mat and Perrin will follow Fain and the Darkfriends, while Egwene and Nynaeve will go to Tar Valon, an arrow is shot from one of the towers, which only just misses the Amyrlin, though it might have been meant for Rand.
The Shienarans set off after the Horn, using a man called Hurin, who can smell violence, to locate it. Perrin and Mat see Rand with the Dragon Banner Moiraine gave him, and Perrin reasons that Rand can channel. Fain, meanwhile, is beginning to show increasing abilities, which enable him to take control of the Darkfriends and stake a Myrddraal to a door.
Lord Ingtar, the leader of the Shienarans, tells Rand that Moiraine has made him second in command. Rand enters a room in a deserted village and experiences strange flashbacks. During one night, Rand, Loial and Hurin are transported to an alternate world via a Portal Stone. Rand wakes to find a heron branded into his hand. Hurin is able to use his abilities to keep on the trail, so they set off after the Horn. On the way, they meet Lanfear, calling herself Selene. She spends much of her time imploring Rand to seize greatness. They see a memorial of the victory of Trollocs over Artur Hawkwing and realize that in this world, all animal life has been destroyed. Eventually they find another Portal Stone, which Rand uses when they are under attack by creatures known as grolm to transfer them back to the real world. They find they are ahead of the Darkfriends, as Hurin had been smelling where the Darkfriends were going to be, not where they have been. Rand and Loial sneak up on them, and take the Horn and dagger back.
They head on to Cairhien, outside of which they see a sa'angreal in the form of a giant great statue which Rand feels calling to him. Rand is taken for a Lord, and gets mixed up in Daes Dae'mar; the noble houses begin sending him invitations, which he just burns, leading to invitations from greater and greater Houses, eventually leading to invitations from the King and Lord Barthanes, the King's main rival.
Rand sees Trollocs in the city, and ends up in the Illuminators chapter house when he tries to flee them. His actions lead to the chapter house burning down. He meets Thom, who survived the Myrddraal in Whitebridge. While Rand visits him, the Darkfriends steal the Horn back.
Ingtar and the rest of the Shienarans are joined by Verin, who claims that Moiraine had sent her. They meet an Aiel claiming to be seeking He Who Comes With the Dawn, but Verin says they have seen no signs of him. They then catch up with Rand and the others.
Hurin traces the Horn to the manor of Lord Barthanes. The group uses an invitation to attend a party Barthanes is throwing. Here, they discover that Fain has taken the Horn through the Ways to Toman Head, on the Aryth Ocean, where Barthanes, a Darkfriend, says he will wait for Rand. The Waygate in Barthanes' manor is blocked by Machin Shin, which tries to come out when they open it, although Verin insists it can't be controlled. The following day Barthanes is found dead, his body completely ripped apart, presumably by a gholam. Thom's girlfriend is killed by men working for the king who was suspicious of his involvement with Rand and his presence at Barthanes party. Thom kills the king.
They try a Waygate outside a nearby stedding. In here they meet more Aiel, which is unusual, as Aiel never leave the Waste. Mat tells Rand they are searching for him, as he is the only Aiel they know. Rand is not amused. Loial is nervous, since he doesn't have permission to be outside his own stedding. He meets a female Ogier, Erith, who he is attracted to. The Waygate outside is also blocked by Machin Shin. They try using a Portal Stone. Something goes wrong when traveling through the Stone, enabling them all to experience many lives they could have led if circumstances had been different. In each of them, Rand is defeated, hearing the words "I have won again Lews Therin" as he dies. They arrive in Toman Head in autumn, having actually lost time due to their use of the Portal Stone.
