He declares himself the Dragon Reborn, and is stripped of his titles by the lords of Ghealdan.[3] However, the charismatic Logain manages to recruit an army of ten thousand soldiers. When he attacks the king's keep, he is able to convince the sovereign to join his cause after he spares the monarch, and Heals him using the One Power.
