We could say it fell to grief. It was in her shock at her Warder-
King's death that she sucked in too much of the Power which made her
and the city go BOOM.
I was thinking though of Moiraine's letter to Rand after the docks:
"Men of the Two Rivers, it seems, retain much of storied Manetheren in
them...' and something to do about them also being similar to the
Borderlands that a man will take a blade in order to avoid harm to a
woman and consider it a price well paid.

I seem to remember, in the middle of one of his many recitations of
that list, something to do with 'a nameless darkfriend'. Whether its
the right one I'm thinking of I don't know. I'll keep an eye out for
it in my rereading adventure.
