At the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], Aric was employed as a guard for [[Toralin Roshone]] and reported to a [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] guard captain.{{book ref|sa3|7}} He was a part of the group that locked the town's [[parshmen]] in their quarters in Roshone's mansion when the town was warned of the coming [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}{{book ref|sa3|7}} When the guards went back to check on them after the storm hit, the side of the enclosure had been torn away and the parshmen had disappeared.

[[Kaladin]] rushed to Hearthstone after the coming of the Everstorm, but did not arrive until it had already passed through. Aric discovered Kaladin as he was investigating the parshmen's quarters. The two men did not know each other, and Aric forced him into the manor house.{{book ref|sa3|5}} Aric then tried to bully Kaladin and take him to Roshone, but Kaladin easily escaped his grasp.

Aric was part of the group that locked the towns [[parshmen]] in their quarters prior to the Everstorm. When he went back to check on them, the side of the enclosure had been torn away and the parshmen had disappeared. He witnessed the parshmen escaping after the storm, and noted that they had physically transformed.{{book ref|sa3|7}} |
||
Aric passed this information onto [[Kaladin]] after he arrived at Roshone's manner, and wanted to know if Kaladin would pass it onto king [[Elhokar]]. He also expressed his concerns about the destruction of [[Hearthstone]]'s grain silos as well as residents homes. Aric worried that the people sheltered in the mansion would starve due to the influx of refugees and loss of grain, and that there would not be enough dwellings to house the people of Hearthstone once the [[highstorm]] returned.{{book ref|sa3|7}} |
|||
===Singer Occupation=== |
|||
During the [[singer]] occupation of Hearthstone, Aric and the other former Roshone guards were prohibited from carrying weapons. They helped Lirin keep refugees in an organized line and surreptitiously watched who was arriving into the city. Aric participated in Lirin's deception of the [[Fused]] when [[Dieno enne Calah]] arrived in Hearthstone, bringing a litter to transport the general safely without arousing suspicion.{{book ref|sa4|1}} |
