King Gavilar was murdered in the palace by [[Szeth]] during a peace celebration with the [[Listeners]].{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Following that, his descendant, king [[Elhokar Kholin|Elhokar]], moved to the [[Pinnacle]] on the [[Shattered Plains]], so as to be closer to the fighting there. Queen Aesudan - and, later, prince Gavinor - remained at the Palace, along with the widowed queen [[Navani Kholin]], as Aesudan was managing the kingdom in her husband's absence.
 
At some point after Navani left for the Shattered Plains, the palace came under the influence of the [[Unmade]] [[Ashertmarn]]. This caused the queen to begin acting increasingly erratically, throwing food away rottingto foodrot, hosting excessively lavish parties and losing interest in ruling Alethkar. The situation came to a peak when ardent [[Pai]] was executed for publicly denouncing this new lifestyle, causing wide-spread riots in the city.{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}
 
After the riots, the queen recalled her guard into the palace, and appears to have fallen fully under the influence of both Ashertmarn and [[Yelig-Nar]]. Anyone to enter the palace would never return, either killed by the Queen's Guard or subsumed by Ashertmarn, while the spren of the Oathgate beneath the Monastery Dais were subverted by [[Sja-Anat]]. During that period, the [[Cult of Moments]] held feasts in the Monastery Dais. A portion of the Palace Guard resisted the lure of the Unmade and were locked in a room. After their release, they claimed that time seemed to pass differently for them, feeling it has only been a few days, not a few weeks, since the riots.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
