At Sadeas' staging area Navani forces her way through the crowd after hearing rumours that Sadeas came back from battle without Dalinar. Renarin follows her. Sadeas tells Navani that the Parshendi overwhelmed Dalinar's forces, and he was forced to retreat in-order to save his own men after claiming to watch Dalinar fall to Parshendi hammers. Unwilling to believe Sadeas's account, Navani begins creates a enormous ''Thath'' glyph across the staging area stone ground in ''burn'' ink. Upon finishing the glyph, Navani releases her prayer for Justice by lighting the whole glyph which leaves a scorch mark on the stone. Shortly after the flames die and one of Sadeas' message runner approaches with news of Dalinar's survival.
 
Sadeas is visibly upset but pretends to be relieved that Dalinar survived. They talk to each other for a while. Then Dalinar asks Sadeas for the costs for Bridge Four. As Sadeas blocks the possibility to give away his bridgemen, Dalinar summons his Shardblade and offers it for trade to get all of Sadeas' bridgemen. Sadeas, eager to finally get a Shardblade, makes this deal.
 
Later on this day Dalinar goes to confront Elhokar that he cut his saddle girth himself thereby bringing suspicion on Dalinar what could have ended bad. He also tells Elhokar about what happened on the battlefield when Sadeas betrayed Dalinar. Then Dalinar forces Elhokar to proclaim him as Highprince of War.
