He glanced at Moiraine up ahead with Lan, saw she could not overhear, and went on. Tear is the greatest port on the Sea of Storms, and the Stone of Tear is the fortress that guards it.
Он глянул на Морейн, идущую впереди с Ланом, решил, что она его слов не услышит, и продолжил: - Тир - самый большой порт на Море Штормов, а Твердыня Тира - крепость, которая его защищает.

"But as long as you've brought it up, I did overhear Lieutenant Basht telling someone they'd found two Shamshir mercenaries in one of the buildings. They'd been knocked cold, but weren't hurt otherwise.
