Poco più avanti nel capitolo c'è scritto così:
"So that is it?" Egwene asked, chilled. "What of Tomas?"
"We made our farewells. He is spending his last hour with family."
Io da questo avevo dedotto che anche Thomas ha dovuto prendere il veleno e che quindi era ugualmente impedito dai giuramenti. Forse dipende dal tuo 'grado' di Darkfriend.
Per quanto riguarda la tempistica:
Verin dovrebbe essere arrivata a Tar Valon dopo
la scadenza dei 30gg dell'accordo con Mat e quindi
l'attacco dovrebbe essere già in atto o in procinto di iniziare.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand.
It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode.
So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
