I know this is in a thread but since the conversion to this board I cant find it.

 

In TOM Perrin has merc's asking to join his army. "Turne smelled unwashed and dirty,and above those scents was and odd staleness. Had the emotions gone numb?"

 

Does Perrin have power converted channelers in his force? If so, how quickly could they destroy all that are with him?

I think its just that people are losing all hope.
