== History ==

During his time in Tvlakv's slave caravan, Kaladin managed to find a blackbane plant and hid a few leaves in a makeshift belt. One night he had taken them out to contemplate what he planned to do with them. Either trying to poison Tvlakv or committing suicide. He ended up accidentally crushing and subsequently loosing them in his anger over Tvlakv's execution of a sick slave. [[Sylphrena|Syl]] was curious about the leaves but Kaladin was reluctant to tell her anything{{book ref|sa1|2}}. Later, Syl tracks down a blackbane leaf for Kaladin in a misguided attempt to cheer him. She gets back with it as Kaladin is getting ready to give up and jump into the [[Honor Chasm]]. She was unaware that blackbane is poisonous, but had noticed that Kaladin seemed to become depressed after loosing the leaves. She hoped that having a new one would cheer him up and renew his desire to fight.{{book ref|sa1|11}} Thanks to this kind (though misguided) action on Syl's part, Kaladin decides against jumping and returns to [[Bridge Four]] with renewed purpose.
