“They looked like Voidbringers, I tell you, with big bony bits jutting from their skin. ”
—Aric describing the escaped parshmen.[1]
Aric is a darkeyed guard in Hearthstone. He guarded Roshone's mansion after the Everstorm hit. He is short and wears a rusty-helm.[1]
Aric was part of the group that locked the towns parshmen in their quarters prior to the Everstorm. When he went back to check on them, the side of the enclosure had been torn away and the parshmen had disappeared. He witnessed the parshmen escaping after the storm, and noted that they had physically transformed.[1]
Aric passed this information onto Kaladin after he arrived at Roshone's manner, and wanted to know if Kaladin would pass it onto king Elhokar. He also expressed his concerns about the destruction of Hearthstone's grain silos as well as residents homes. Aric worried that the people sheltered in the mansion would starve due to the influx of refugees and loss of grain, and that there would not be enough dwellings to house the people of Hearthstone once the highstorm returned.[1]
