North:
Darkside: The sergeants at Dusty Road have a slightly less powerful weapon.
Lightside: The sergeants at Dusty Road can be ordered by "say move north/east/south/west" by any LS clanned of rank 5 and over. The ones west of Kajin will observe the existing restrictions of movement, so moving them only works in that particular area.

Seanchan: An infestation of shadow maulers has sprung up around Dark Trails.
Lightside: A band of brigands has crossed the Mountains of Mist and found a new home west of Emond's Field.
