Difference between revisions of "Meridas Amaram"

He is a highmarshal in service of Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]],{{ref|b|sa1|c|10}} and has to watch over northern Alethkar while his highprince fights in the [[Vengeance Pact]] on the [[Shattered Plains]]. Because of the continuous skirmishes at Alethkar's borders he is in permanent need of new soldiers. Eventually he comes through [[Hearthstone]] for recruitment. Hearthstone's citylord [[Roshone]] -- apparently Amaram's distant cousin -- commits [[Tien]] to be a recruit, which results in [[Kaladin]] volunteering for service in order to protect Tien; though Amaram promises [[Lirin]] to stint Tien's duty to be a messenger boy.{{ref|b|twok|c|44}} Amaram doesn't keep his promise, and Tien dies in his very first battle,{{ref|b|twok|c|67}} leaving Kaladin in a bitter grief.
