Elayna follows the assassin and his army of Trollocs to the crumbling city of Shadar Logoth, which is inhabited by unknown evil creatures. She tracks the assassin through the city, battling Trollocs and dark creatures along the way and finally corners the assassin, who admits that he was hired by the Forsaken Ishamael. Ishamael is seeking the seals held by the Amyrlin. The assassin agrees to return the "ter’angreal" in return for his life. Just as Elayna retrieves the "ter’angreal", the assassin is assailed by Mashadar, the evil that consumed Shadar Logoth, manifested as a mist-like creature.
