Even a thousand years ago the only danger was becoming lost. It was as bright as daylight inside, and fruit grew from trees on the Islands inside. But during the War of the Hundred years, the Ways began to change, falling dark and worse."The smallest danger is simply becoming lost. Distance and time inside the ways is not like distance and time inside. The only way to find a path along the Ways is to read the Guidings inside, but they are over three thousand years old and written in Ogier. I can read Ogier, and have been piecing together ancient script since not long after I came to the White Tower, but I would not enter the Ways even if that were the only danger."The greater is the Black Wind, or machin shin. No one knows percisely what it is, but it lurks in the Ways now, and those caught by it are often beyond the reach of even the best of the Yellow Ajah to help."Only a fool would enter the Ways today, and whatever this beggar is, I do not think he is a fool." She finished.</blockquote>
