Brightlord '''Amaram''' was a [[
==Head of defense in northern Alethkar==
He was a highmarshal in service of Highprince [[Sadeas]],{{ref|b|sa1|c|10}} and had to watch over northern Alethkar while his highprince fought in the [[Vengeance Pact]] on the [[Shattered Plains]]. Because of the continuous skirmishes at Alethkar's borders he was in permanent need of new soldiers. Eventually he came through [[Hearthstone]] for recruitment. Hearthstone's citylord [[Roshone]] -- apparently Amaram's distant cousin -- committed [[Tien]] to be a recruit what resulted in [[Kaladin]]'s volunteering due to his wish to protect Tien though Amaram promised [[Lirin]] to stint Tien's duty to be a messenger boy.{{ref|b|twok|c|44}} Amaram didn't keep his promise and Tien died in his very first battle,{{ref|b|twok|c|67}} leaving Kaladin in a bitter grief.
==Shardplate and Shardblade==
Years later, shortly before the four years tour of Kaladin's duty ended, an unidentified [[Veden]] Shardbearer attacked Amaram during one of these border skirmishes. Kaladin fought this Shardbearer but gave the Shardplate and Shardblade to his men.{{ref|b|twok|c|48}} Amaram, greedy, killed the survivors of Kaladin's squad before his eyes and took the Shardplate and Shardblade for himself. He told Kaladin that as a mercy he would not kill him but brand him as slave and sell him, claiming Kaladin was a deserter.{{ref|b|twok|c|51}}
When Kaladin was a bridgeman in Sadeas's warcamp rumors said that "Amaram the Shardbearer" was on his way to the Shattered Plains.{{ref|b|twok|c|55}}
