Kaladin and the members of [[Bridge Four]] listen to a crier read Dalinar's proclamation. The proclamation states that all [[Gemheart|gemhearts]] won in battle will now belong to the king, and shares of that wealth will be apportioned at the Crown’s discretion. The men are concerned that this will sow even more discontent among the highprinces, making their job as bodyguards to Dalinar more difficult. Kaladin orders [[Rock]] to start training cooks for the other bridgeman barracks, hoping it will make them less despondent, then heads to the [[Pinnacle]] to relieve [[Skar|Skar's]] team. On the way, [[Syl]] worries that Kaladin no longer laughs.

Meanwhile, Torol Sadeas sits in front of an elaborate stone table with [[Oathbringer]] stuck through it. He thinks about how often he had lusted after the weapon, but now possessing it felt hollow. His wife [[Ialai Sadeas|Ialai]] enters the room, and mentions that she's used Dalinar's heavy recruitment drive to more place more spies in his warcamp. They talk about how the other highprinces hate the proclamation, and plan to fan the flames of discontent. Torol wants conquest. He plans to let Dalinar alienate the other highprinces and fracture the kingdom, at which point he will "forge a new Alethkar from flame and tears."
