==History== |
|||
Yake was already in the [[Sadeas]] [[bridge crew]]s when [[Kaladin]] arrived to the [[Shattered Plains]] in {{Rosharan date|1173}}. The reason he was a bridgeman is unknown. He participated in the first bridge run actively led by Kaladin, and was among the last to arrive for duty, along with [[Dunny]] and [[Malop]].{{book ref|sa1|17}} After [[Gaz]] put Bridge Four on chasm duty, Yake took notice of the growing camaraderie among the group but was reluctant to join their conversations.{{book ref|sa1|27}} Weeks later, he was hit in the arm by an enemy arrow during a bridge run, leaving Bridge Four with only twenty-eight capable members.{{book ref|sa1|46}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
Yake, Moash, and [[Teft]] were selected by Kaladin to train with [[Zahel]] and [[Ivis]], learning how to deal with [[Shardblade]]s and use [[stances]]. Zahel chided Yake for picking up one of his colored stones. Yake briefly wielded a Blade, and was awestruck by it. He also practiced dodging blows from a Blade. He found Ivis attractive even though she was [[lighteyes|lighteyed]], unlike Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|44}} |
