While exploring a forest south of the [[Shattered Plains]], King Gavilar's brother [[Dalinar Kholin]] encountered a civilization of [[parshmen]]-like beings.{{book ref\|sa1\|28}} This similarity to parshmen led to Gavilar's stormwardens coining the term [[Parshendi]]{{book ref\|sa1\|45}}, which roughly meant ''parshmen who can think''.{{book ref\|sa1\|prologue}} Diplomatic relations were established, and eventually a treaty between the Alethi and the Parshendi was made. The king invited a Parshendi delegation to celebrate the signing of the treaty in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref\|sa1\|prologue}} That night, Gavilar revealed to a Parshendi ~~scout and~~ interpreter named [[Eshonai]] his secret intention to bring back the [[Fused\|old Parshendi gods]] in order to also bring about the return of the [[Herald]]s. He mistakenly believed that the Parshendi would welcome this idea. In reality, ~~their~~the Parshendi ancestors had abandoned their gods in favor of freedom, and they did not want their gods to return.{{book ref\|sa3\|prologue}} After hearing the news and fearing Gavilar's plans, the Parshendi leaders decided to have the human king assassinated that very night.{{book ref\|sa3\|prologue}} They assigned this task to their newly-acquired slave, a [[Shin]] [[Truthless]] named [[Szeth]] who possessed [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]]. After an intense fight, the man who would later be called the '''Assassin in White''' succeeded in killing Gavilar.{{book ref\|sa1\|prologue}}
