Highprince [[Valam]] visited Revilar’s estate at some point during this year.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
In {{Rosharan date|1169}} and early {{Rosharan date|1170}}, Revilar intensified his efforts to curry favor with Highprince [[Valam]]. He successfully worked to improve the output of the princedom's textile industry. Additionally, his son's skill as a duelist drew attention from the highprince. Valam personally visited Revilar's estates, showing his approval.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
 
   
In [[Midpeace]] of {{Rosharan date|1170}}, Revilar attended [[Middlefest Fair]] on the Davar grounds. His son was scheduled to participate in the dueling contests during the fair. During the festivities, Revilar confronted Lin and coerced him into taking a financially outrageous business deal which involved Lin selling [[breachtree]] cotton and raw [[shum (plant)|shum]] to Revilar below cost. Revilar would then arrange for it to be taken to market for the final sale. Lin showed open disdain for Revilar and initially resisted the trade. However, Revilar revealed the extent to which Valam had recently shown him favor, even inviting Revilar to visit him in [[Vedenar]] every month. He also reminded Lin that House Davar had fallen into disrepute due to the rumors surrounding the death of [[Shallan's mother]], and it was also in financial decline. Lin was enraged, but ultimately accepted the proposal since he was desperate for political allies.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{book ref|sa2|48}}

Lin and Revilar are two of ten men of similar ranking that serve under Highprince Valam. They are political rivals and also seem to personally dislike one another. Lin is jealous of Revilar's success, including his ability to employ master-servants; the Davar household was unable to hire them due to Lin's reputation. Revilar does not respect Lin and those in his retinue also disapprove of him. Despite their lands bordering one another, the two men had no business relationship until Revilar coerced Lin into selling him commodities at a steep discount.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{book ref|sa2|48}}

Lin and Revilar are two of ten men of similar ranking that serve under Highprince Valam. They are business associates, though through coercion instead of mutual agreement. Lin is jealous of Revilar’s success at obtaining master servants as offers for employment within the Davar household have continuously been declined due of Lin’s reputation. Revilar does not respect Lin and those in his retinue disapprove of the Brightlord. Lin did not seem fond of Revilar even before being strong armed into taking financially unstable business dealings.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
