About Four Kings
Four Kings is a busy stop on the road between Whitebridge and Caemlyn. It is a rough place full of travellers, merchants and drovers, and the inns are crowded and loud.
In The Eye of the World, Rand and Mat stop at an inn called The Dancing Cartman, where they meet Howal Gode, a Darkfriend who tries to trap them. They escape and continue their exhausted journey east toward the capital.
Spoiler note: this guide mentions events up to The Eye of the World.
