:''Eleven years ago''
Dalinar never slept that night, the Thrill never leaving him. He orders all people leaving the city shot dead (including messengers bearing white flags of peace). Sadeas doubts that Dalinar can really go through with this atrocity, they both agree Gavilar could not. Dalinar admits that he once wanted to rule but realized that the man needed for this atrocity, and the man to rule, could not be the same person.
They attack at night and secure a foothold in the wall. Dalinar orders the city set ablaze the already flammable city covered in oil. He leads Kadash to a saferoom on the outside of the city where he assumes Tanlan had been hiding and sets it ablaze with barrels of oil. Walking away from the screaming within, he spots Tanlan trying to reach the palace instead. He pleads to Dalinar to let him save his family but Dalinar (still bothered by the screams earlier in the saferoom) admits he is an animal and he will not be so foolish as to allow survivors again. As the palace collapses,
As he moves to execute
Evi's burned corpse is brought back to camp. She drugged her guard and snuck away in the night leading people to suspect that she was a traitor all along. He swears the scribes to secrecy and instead has them hide her burned body. They lie that she was assassinated in the night and the city was burned as retribution. As Dalinar leaves, he hears the screams of the innocent the night before and thinks he even hears Evi.
