Seanchan Raid
After ignoring Egwene's Foretellings of an imminent Seanchan raid on the White Tower, Elaida is captured by the sul'dam and given a new name. She is last seen in their captivity as the surviving Seanchan flee Tar Valon. The Hall briefly consider sending a rescue party, but conclude they have neither the time nor the resources to achieve it; the unspoken implication is that they consider Elaida's predicament to be a product of her own mistakes and that they are quite content to leave her to her own devices for the time being.
It is revealed in Towers of Midnight that Elaida was forced to show Tuon, and others, the weaves for Traveling, thus giving the Seanchan equal footing in the skirmishes.

Famous quotes containing the word raid:
“Each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling.”
