==== The Plan ====
 
Though House Davar was effectively wealthy at the time of Lin's death, the man had extended himself with aggressive business deals which the Davar children were unable to make good on.{{book ref|sa1|3}} Their finances had depended heavily upon the use of a mysterious soulcaster to create a stream of steady income by means of marble deposits "discovered" on their lands.{{book ref|sa1|29}}{{book ref|sa2|73}} During the fight that ended in Lin's death, Balat accidentally damaged the soulcaster.{{book ref|sa2|73}} They took the soulcaster to a jeweler to have it superficially repaired, but their father's advisor who was trained to use the fabrial, a Ghostbloods member named [[Luesh]], claimed that it still would not work.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{book ref|sa1|29}} With their source of income gone and their father unable to reassure creditors, the family's financial state was in peril. The siblings considered their options and determined that the only means by which they could settle their debts was with a working soulcaster. Unable to repair the device in secret, Shallan devised a plan to become the ward of Jasnah Kholin--a heretic with a soulcaster of her own--and covertly exchange the fabrials.{{book ref|sa2|5}} The request to Jasnah was written in desparation, but when the princess replied Shallan and her brothers believed that the plan was worth the risk. Shallan was to meet Jasnah in [[Dumadari]] in two weeks time, however Jasnah's constant travels left Shallan chasing the woman for nearly six months. For most of this journey, Shallan traveled with captainCaptain [[Tozbek]]--a longtime business partner of the Davar family, who offered a generous discount--aboard the [[Wind's Pleasure]]. Shallan finally caught up with Jasnah Kholin in the city of [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|3}}

==== Petitioning Jasnah Kholin ====
 
Upon arriving in Kharbranth, Captain Tozbek checked with the dock registrar to learn that Jasnah Kholin was still in the city. He explained to Shallan that, as a princess, Jasnah would certainly be staying in the [[Conclave]] at the top of the city. Tozbek assigned one of his men, [[Yalb]], to escort Shallan, and promised to deliver her belongings if she proved successful with Jasnah. Yalb hired a rickshaw porter for Shallan and served as a translator as they took the direct route from the docks to the Conclave. Shallan took in the exotic sights of the unfamiliar city as Yalb translated the porter's commentary. Upon reaching their destination the porter attempted to overcharge Shallan, but Yalb explained the truth. Shallan paid Yalb handsomely for his help and asked him to to remain outside the Conclave in the event she needed him further. Once inside, Shallan sought the assistance of a master-servant, who located Jasnah Kholin and led Shallan to the woman.
