[[File:Shallan's Chapters.svg|115px|center]]
Six years ago
As Jasnah gets up to leave, she notices that her shadow is behaving oddly, something she noted before. Thinking of a reference in a book she wonders about being cursed. Jasnah starts to go back up to the feast, when the drums suddenly stop. Worrying about if [[Dalinar]] could have done something to offend the other party goers and thinking about how hard she worked to get this treaty. She hastens to the feast. In one of the hallways she overhears two men talking about a woman named Ash and sees an Azish man with a white birthmark or scar on his cheek and considers that she should have investigated further into them. Asking if the feast is over already and receiving a single word answer, she leaves the men behind feeling uncomfortable, under the Azish man's gaze.

Shallan believing the world is ending and it being her fault is crying. As her father tries getting her to sleep he wipes some blood from her face and starts singing a lullaby. Shallan thinks her self to be a monster that kills and thus unworthy of the love and affection her father is giving her. In the room there are several corpses one of them being a woman in white, Shallan's mother. She didn't bleed very much but the other man did. As Shallan and her father pass the his save in the wall Shallan can see the light form the “monster” coming from inside of it. After the song ends her father leaves the bedroom closing the door on the corpses.

Teft comes and sees the last part of the sparring. He asks Kaladin to release him from his task of training new recruits, but Kaladin refuses.
When Kaladin and his men leave the chasm he was told by another darkeyed soldier that a Brightlord just arrived at Dalinar's warcamp. But it's not only "a Brightlord". So Kaladin rushes to Dalinar's command complex to see this Brightlord with his own eyes and the soldier was right, it is Brightlord Amaram.

And when they were spoken of by the common folk, the Releasers claimed to be misjudged because of the dreadful nature of their power; and when they dealt with others, always were they firm in their claim that other epithets, notably „Dustbringers,“ often heard in the common speech, were unacceptable substitutions, in particular for their similarity to the word „Voidbringers.“ They did also exercise anger in great prejudice regarding it, though to many who speak, there was little difference between there two assemblies.

This act of great villainy went beyond the impudence which had hitherto been ascribed to the orders; as the fighting was particularly intense at this time, many attributed this act to a sense of inherent betrayal; and after they withdrew, about two thousand made assault upon them, destroying much of the membership; but this was only nine of the ten, as on said they would not abandon their arms and flee, but instead entertained great subterfuge at the expense of the other nine.

Taravangian awakes on a ship with stiff mussels, but noting that he doesn't feel stupid, which he considers a good sign. He notes that his ship has moored on time, when his servants arrive. [[Maban]] brings him his morning meal, but is stopped by [[Mrall]], one of the Kings testers. He wants Taravangian to take the test first since it is an important day and he want to know what to expect. Taravangian agrees with him and Mrall lets the testers approach. The three [[stormwarden]]s give the King some paper on which some math-problems are put down with in figures and [[glyph]]s. Taravangian made these him self on one of his better day's and even though he knows he is not a complete idiot, he finds that he is only average on this day. After checking the papers the stomwardens judge: “He is fit to serve,” one proclaimed. “He may not change the Diagram, but he may interact outside of supervision, may change policy, and pass judgment.” Mrall after getting Taravangian's acceptance lets Maban bring him his breakfast. Taravangian considers that even though it always takes up one hour of every day the test is the best way for a man who wakes up every morning with a different level of intelligence. He contemplate that life can be tricky especially when the world might depend of him.
