| − | ==History== |
||
| − | Noro encountered Kaladin wearing a uniform in Kholinar while the city was [[Siege of Kholinar|under siege]] and assumed he was a deserter. He was surprised to see a "[[lighteyes]]" with a slave brand, but was cordial to Kaladin and offered him a hot meal with no strings attached. Kaladin immediately felt at home with the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]] due to their well-run operations and the welcoming behavior of Noro and the other men; he also hoped to learn more about Highmarshal [[Azure]].{{book ref|sa3|69}}{{book ref|sa3|70}} Kaladin officially joined the Wall Guard after consulting with [[Elhokar]] and was assigned to Noro's squad.{{book ref|sa3|73}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Noro led his squad during their shifts on wall duty and on patrol, including meetings with [[Velalant]] as part of a deal to distribute food in the city. He was present during the [[Fused]] raids that occurred while Kaladin was with the squad{{book ref|sa3|73}}{{book ref|sa3|79}} and also when [[Kaladin]] questioned [[Azure]]; he was mortified by Kaladin's blunt approach.{{book ref|sa3|78}} Nevertheless, Noro quickly recognized Kaladin's skill and leadership abilities and suggested that he should be promoted to lieutenant. He quickly began deferring to Kaladin's orders in battle despite his own seniority. When Kaladin revealed both his mission and his ability to absorb [[Investiture]], Noro was extremely surprised.{{book ref|sa3|79}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Noro was present with the rest of his squad when Azure allowed Kaladin into the [[windblades]] to show him the secrets that kept the Kholinar Wall Guard fed.{{book ref|sa3|81}} The squad effectively served as an honor guard for Kaladin during the final assault on [[Kholinar Palace]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} During the skirmish, Noro killed two [[singers]] that Kaladin had known, [[Jali]] and [[Sah]], before having his head split by [[Khen]]'s axe.{{book ref|sa3|84}} |
