Difference between revisions of "Assassination of Gavilar"

Hours before the feast, [[Venli]] and [[Ulim]] seek a delivery from [[Axindweth]] in the palace, but instead find a coded message that she had to depart Roshar. Alethi soldiers spot her sneaking and lock her in a room, saying she will stay for the duration of the feast. Ulim returns in a panic, having spotted Shalash, Kelek and [[Nale]]. The latter Herald enters the room and uses his authority to free the pair; he speaks withto Ulim with some familiarity. Anxious for her people, Venli steers Nale's interrogations about the voidspren to claim it is a failing on the humans' part that they have appeared. Presuming Gavilar is behind it, he convinces Venli of the need to eliminate the king and points her to Szeth, whose honorblade he recognized earlier. After he departs, Ulim convinces her to permit the assassination, as the threat of the humans' retaliation will give her the means to convince them to use forms of power.{{book ref|sa4|77}}
