She yearned for the knowledge that only years can bring.
She remembers when Cairhienin crossed the Silk Path to Shara, when Laman cut down Avendoraldera, and when Aiel warriors brought Laman’s sword back as proof of his death.

In search of He Who Comes with the Dawn. She was at Alcar Dale when Rand al’Thor revealed the history of the Aiel, she followed him across the Spine chasing the Shaido, she was there to free him from the Aes Sedai who had captured him, and is currently in the Aiel camp near Cairhien.
