However, either Navani makes a crucial misjudgment or for some reason does not care, because Aesudan inadvertently begins to turn the populace against herself.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}} She throws lavish feasts, reveling in excess, and allows food sent in by starving farmers for the soldiers on the Shattered Plains to simply rot away. She also cancels the [[Beggar's Feast]]s. This is perhaps due in part to her sycophantic [[ardent]]s who simply tell her that she is always on the right path. However, one of the ardents assigned to her retinue, a young woman named [[Pai]], refuses to look past the queen's flaws and performs an act of civil disobedience. She goes before the Common Throne of the [[People's Hall]] and inks the [[glyphs]] of the [[Ten fools|ten foolish attributes]] before the Throne, as well as a paragraph below each glyph, explaining how Aesudan exemplifies each of these traits, denouncing not only the queen but the government itself. Pai is executed, but Kholinar erupts in riots the next day.
=== The Siege on Kholinar ===
Following the summoning of the [[Everstorm]] and the rallying of a Voidbringer army, Kholinar is surrounded by [[Fused]] and [[Singers]], who use spren to locate and punish any use of [[fabrial|fabrials]], preventing communication via [[spanreed]]. [[Elhokar]], [[Kaladin]], [[Adolin]] and [[Shallan]] are sent by [[Dalinar]] to infiltrate the city and save Aesudan and [[Gavinor Kholin]]. They find out that she is under the influence of the [[Unmade]] [[Yelig-nar]] and [[Ashertmarn]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} After part of the infiltration team flees Kholinar via a corrupted [[Oathgate]], Aesudan's fate is unknown but [[Drehy]] and [[Skar]] are revealed to have saved [[Gavinor]]{{book ref|sa3|122}} and [[Yelig-nar]] finds a new vessel in [[Amaram]] during the battle of [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|118}}
