You are absolutely right.

Yep, it's the Great Darkness.

So what do we make of the fact that:  

"WE HAVE FOOLED THE RED GODDESS AGAIN. NO ONE WAS IN WHITEWALL FOR ALL THOSE MONTHS. WE LIVED IN ICE REFUGE, A STEAD HALL ATOP STORMWALK. THE OLD WIND PROPHET SPOKE TO US THERE. WE ALL REMEMBER THIS MESSAGE." (For more information on Ice Refuge, see Storm Tribe, pg. 129).

We need to work this in better to the siege. I think we should take this at face value - for "all those months" no one was in Whitewall. Instead Broyan and company were in Ice Refuge atop Stormwalk.
