During [[Raboniel]]'s occupation of Urithiru, Alalan continued working as normal and deferred to passing [[singers]], advising Adin not to glare at them. He also helped care for the fallen [[Knights Radiant]] and left his home every night in secret for unknown reasons. When things in the atrium began brewing prior to Kaladin's final fight with [[Lezian]], Master Liganor entered the pottery shop to tell Alalan about it and looked to the calm man for approval before closing the shop. Before Liganor left, he instructed Alalan to keep making water pots, as their supply was low; however, Alalan abandoned his half-finished pot on the wheel as soon as the [[lighteyes]] was gone.
