==Gavilar and the Parshendi==
In approximately 1165 Gavilar and Dalinar did an expedition to the south of the Shattered Plains where they found a group of "parshmen" living on their own. First they couldn't believe, but these parshmen were friendly, curious and learned the Alethi language quite easy. Gavilar's stormwardens begun calling them "Parshendi." Though Gavilar never had been the 'scholarly type' and nobody yet discovered why, he grew more and more fascinated by the Parshendi. Despite Dalinar's attempts to return to Aletkhar, Gavilar wanted to stay on the Shattered Plains to learn more about the Parshendi. Also they told Gavilar to lead him on the hunt for a great-shelled beast that had gemhearts.{{ref|b|sa1|c|45}} It's also yet unknown why Gavilar made that treaty with the Parshendi and what caused the Parshendi to order Gavilar's assassination in that very night of the treaty signing.
