Hand-drawn maps remind me of many a DnD Campaign.
Onto the chapter itself. Overall, I've immediately noticed Jordan's excellent use of adjectives and adverbs - he builds the atmosphere superbly. However, the story itself, of Rand and Tam carrying a delivery to the village is much more like a movie plot - indeed, I could envisage a movie replicating the chapter practically word-for-word, shot-by-shot.
I wonder what the deal is with the different types of surnames - on one side you have Congar, Perrin, Dowtry, and on the other there are names prefixed with "al", i.e. al-Thor, al-Meara, al-Vere.
Something tells me that the mysterious Dark Figure is a portent for things to come. The obvious comparison is to a Nazgul. A bit of foreshadowing from Jordan? And who or what are the Forsaken? Is the Dark Figure one of them?
