A su llegada a Hallandren, la banda confraternizó con Vivenna, haciendo un trabajo concienzudo para manipularla y que creyera que, debido a la muerte de Lemex, ahora trabajaban para ella.{{book ref|wb|10}} Mientras Vivenna creía que la banda le estaba echando una mano para ayudar a su gente, en realidad la estaban usando como un símbolo para enardecer a la población local idriana en contra del gobierno de Hallandren y mostrar a los hallandrenses que merecía la pena ir a la guerra contra los idrianos. En primer lugar, debatieron y y utilizaron tácticas como interrumpir el suministro de comida a la ciudad e incitar a las revueltas en las plantaciones de tintes. También se reunieron con comerciantes, jefes del hampa y políticos, usando los [[Mechones Reales]] de Vivenna como prueba de su identidad.{{book ref|wb|22}}
Denth
Vivenna escaped from Vasher quickly, but upon her return to the safehouse she discovered the bodies of [[Parlin]], of all of Tonk Fah's recent pets, and of a number of Idrian soldiers her father had sent after her. Denth and Tonk Fah confronted her, but she used Clod's security phrase and ordered him to attack Denth, successfully distracting the crew long enough to escape to the streets.{{book ref|wb|35}} Denth set a bounty on Vivenna's head, but she survived for a couple of weeks wandering the streets as a [[Drab]] until a group of thugs finally caught up with her. As they were taking her to Denth, Vasher intervened by allowing [[Nightblood]] to tempt the men into drawing him.{{book ref|wb|41}} Vasher initially took in Vivenna purely to keep her out of Denth's hands, but once each was convinced that the other sincerely wanted to avoid war they ended up working together to counter what the crew had been doing.{{book ref|wb|43}} While discussing possible ways to get ahead of Denth, Vasher and Vivenna realized that the robbery of the salt peddler was only a cover for the crew’s true motive: kidnapping the daughter of [[Nanrovah]], high priest of [[Stillmark]], to blackmail him into changing his vote at court to one for war. They rescued the girl, [[Misel]], and returned her to her father, convincing him to argue against war once more.{{book ref|wb|49}}
