CHAPTER 21 A Mark

Alviarin Freidhen的POV：
It seemed unlikely that anyone would recognize it as coming from Tremalking, the largest of the Sea Folk islands, but someone might wonder where she had been to get muddy.
她刚从Tremalking出差回来，就是女性sa'angreal所在的岛。大约是Mesaana想查看一下女性sa'angreal的损毁状况，派她跑了个腿。
但这一腿跑回来，白塔的局势已全然改变了。
She sat at the head of the Supreme Council and knew the names of every Black sister in every heart, which was more than Mesaana could say. 
她知道整个儿的黑宗组织结构图，和那个谁的名单对比的话...
Usually, the thought of living forever brightened her, the thought of eventually wielding power through Mesaana as she now did through Elaida. 
还很有野心。
The Great Lord’s eyes riddled the Tower, now, though no one seemed to have noticed that the wardings had failed. 
白塔对付老鼠的防护已经失效了。
Ninth Depository：图书馆的第九保存室，这个保存室存放算术方面的书。大家都认为这些文献是没用的。这是因为高魔时代吧。也因为沙袋们并没有把注意力放在为普通人制造便利上，所以算术就显得没用了。Rand的学院，Mat的龙蛋，都预示着理工科时代的到来，到时候这件保管室大概不会是最小最清净的了。
Zemaille：褐宗，图书管理员，她还是个海民，所以比较弱。她对Alviarin表示了同情，Alviarin还不明就里。
Aiden：另一个褐宗，图书管理员，海民。
Nyein：第三个褐宗，图书管理员，海民。
and the so-called Thirteenth Depository, where the secret records were kept. 
十三保管室，存放秘密文档。
有一个非常深入地研究WOT的blog，就以十三保管室为名，http://13depository.blogspot.com/
可惜要翻墙。里面的文章非常多，等这回重读完了，暗会过去好好看一遍。
Perhaps some of those marvelous instruments from the Age of Legends that Mesaana talked about would allow her to question any sister immediately one day, if the woman ever actually produced them, but now it was still a matter of ciphered orders left on pillows or in secret spots.
不知道是什么。
Mesaana had told her of another marvel of the Age of Legends that she wished very much to see, a thing called a “lift.”
电梯啦。

Elaida在和白塔Hall还会，这回就不记会议记录了。
“I expect you to obey.” Her eyes glittered. “Or shall I summon the Mistress of Novices so these sisters can witness your ‘private’ penance?”
Elaida拽起来了。

黄宗的领袖，叫First Weaver。
白宗的领袖，叫First Reasoner。
绿宗的领袖，叫Captain-General，现任是Adelorna Bastine
The rebels knew how to Travel? They were here at Tar Valon already? 
奥特了吧，由于战争和时局，她对Elaida的一切威胁已失效。
Alviarin staggered into the wall, blinking away spots, before she even realized that the other woman had slapped her.
被报复了吧。
Since no one could find you when the rebels arrived, I asked the Hall to remove you as Keeper. 
并且被撤职。
She had barely been able to think since she heard the word treason.
在Elaida嘴里，背叛既是对她个人的背叛，她大概都不肯正视黑宗的存在，但任谁听起来，这个词指的都是黑宗，Seaine Herimon这样理解，Alviarin也这样理解。另外她们两个都是白宗。
but she undid the wrappings with the care she would have used with a piece of fine blown glass, revealing a ter’angreal, a brilliant red rod no larger than her forefinger, utterly smooth except for a few fine lines worked into the surface in a sinuous interconnecting pattern.
用于呼唤Alviarin的ter'angreal，传奇时代的拷机。
That would not have been necessary in the Age of Legends, but something called the “standing flows” no longer existed. A world where almost any ter’angreal could be used by people unable to channel seemed odd beyond comprehension. Why had it been allowed?
证实了我的猜测，在传说时代，很多ter'angreal做给所有人用的工具，而OP也可以当作能源存储起来。
For all she could sense, Mesaana could not channel at all!
她在使用TP吧。
忽然Masaana现原形了。
Shaidar Haran出现。
“You were summoned, and you did not come. My hand reaches far, Mesaana.”
Unthinking, she reached for the Source. And nearly screamed. The Source was gone! She was not shielded; there was simply nothing there for her to embrace!
这是怎么回事呢，其实是在用TP屏蔽吗？Myrddraal也可以有这样的法力啊。
“You were summoned, and you did not come. My hand reaches far, Mesaana.”
只有Masaana没有去Shadar Logoth，和Alviarin被白塔惩处的原因一样，再组织需要你的时候，你在哪里？
It flowed toward her—no; not it—the Great Lord, clothed in the skin of a Myrddraal, flowed toward her.
Alviarin认为Shaidar Haran就是DO。
The pale, black-clad shape bent toward her, and she would have shrieked when he touched a finger to her forehead. 
该隐的记号？这样Shadowspawn就不会伤害她了。
Talene had been there, in Elaida’s rooms. Why had she looked at Yukiri and Doesine that way?
Talene已经暴露并臣服了。
