'''Kaladin'''
 
Kaladin returns to the ''Fourth Bridge'', and is handed a cup of broth by an ardent. The Windrunners are congratulating Laran, who has sworn the Third Ideal, but Kaladin doesn't join them. Syl talks to him about his depression, and helping him. Teft comes and tells Kaladin to congratulate Laran, and they talk about Moash. Kaladin takes off, going to transport Dalinar and Navani to the Shattered Plains.
 
'''Navani'''
 
Navani is in a wooden sphere, being Lashed toward the Shattered Plains. While stuck in this cramped chamber, she is contemplating the nature of contradictions and studying the Fused's Radiant suppression fabrial. She finds that the fabrial's four garnet design matches a sketch of the Urithiru gemstone pillar. Navani compares her technological fabrials that require trapped spren and clever applications to Soulcasters, that have no technological explanation and manifest as small unresponsive, though seemingly intelligent, spren in Shadesmar.
Navani studies the Radiant supressing fabrial. She finds the fabrial's four garnet pattern in a sketch of the Urithiru gemstone pillar, and reflects on how Soulcasters are different from other fabrials. She is in a wooden sphere, being Lashed toward the Shattered Plains. She finds a glowing ruby on the floor, that appears to be part of a spanreed. She attaches it to a pen, and it writes that Navani is causing hundreds of spren to suffer and that she must stop constructing fabrials.
 
Anxious to arrive, she is amusing herself thinking of Dalinar's style of travel, when she notices a blinking red light on the wall and finds a spanreed ruby attached to the bottom of her table. She attaches it to a reed pen and sets it to writing as soon as her vehicle lands. The unknown messenger warns that her imprisonment of spren is causing more pain than any living person and that she must stop creating these new fabrials.
 
'''Shallan'''
 
Shallan and Adolin are in a carriage goiggoing toward the Shattered Plains' Oathgate. Shallan thinks about the truths she's suppressing, and about how people would leave her if they knew what she had done. Veil tells Adolin that Ialai was assassinated, and they discuss about whether it would have been right to kill the highprincess. Shallan shows Adolin the notebook, including a list of words containing [[Nalthis|"Nalathis"]], [[Scadrial|"Scadarial"]], and [[Taldain|"Tal Dain"]], and at the end the name [[Thaidakar]]. Shallan think she will have to break with the Ghostbloods.
