  6. Latra Posae Decume, p. 10—Leader of the faction in the Hall of Servants that opposed the plan to implant the seals and supported the plan to construct and use the the giant sa'angreal. She was apparently a speaker of considerable force and persuasion, and was able to gather a large following. Eventually she reached an agreement with every female Aes Sedai of significant strength on the side of the Light, now called the Fateful Concord. Those who joined the Concord believed Lews Therin's plan was too rash and dangerous, and refused to take part in it.
  7. Sammael, p. 11—One of the Forsaken. His forces overran the region where the access ter'angreal for the great sa'angreal were being constructed just after the sa'angreal were completed.
  8. Demandred, p. 13—One of the Forsaken. His army attacked almost on the heels of Sammael's forces, eventually leading Lews Therin to his decision to carry out his plan with or without help from the female Aes Sedai.
  9. Be'lal, p. 13—One of the Forsaken. His army attacked almost on the heels of Sammael's forces, eventually leading Lews Therin to his decision to carry out his plan with or without help from the female Aes Sedai.
