As Perrin arrives in Tear with Moiraine, Lan, and Loial, we get a detailed and thoughtful of description of the scents of the city from his perspective. The Darkness is palpable. As luck would have it, Perrin finds a personal meditative refuge from all the nightmares and fear, in a blacksmith's shop near where they're staying. After a day of hard work, the craftsman gives Perrin a gift for his efforts, a long handled hammer, in hopes to keep the young man in the trade; that he'll always remember it. This is an undeniably symbolic conversation that gives us tons of insight into Perrin's character.   WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.
