Blushweaver, aware of the subtleties of politics, was very active in trying to defend Hallandren and their way of life. To this end, she lobbied the gods who had been assigned military responsibilities and therefore held the Command phrases for the Lifeless armies. She promised to vote however [[Hopefinder]] - one of thesethe four Returned who held Command phrases - wished, and in exchange he gave her the security phrase to his portion of the army.{{book ref|wb|30}} Mercystar also agreed to give up her Lifeless troops thanks to Lightsong's unwitting help when he investigated the break-in at her palace.{{book ref|wb|30}} Though Blushweaver had a very warm relationship with Lightsong himself, he refused to give her his Lifeless commands; she also failed to convince [[Allmother]] to part with her pass phrase.{{book ref|wb|38}} Still, after spending her efforts on thesethose four Returned she eventually held the Command phrases for half of the [[Lifeless]] army.{{book ref|wb|42}}
 
Later, Blushweaver was kidnapped, taken down to the tunnel system below the court, and tortured by a group of priests to force her to give up her Lifeless Command phrase. The false priests, in truth [[Pahn Kahl]] rebels, later slit her throat to show Lightsong how willing to kill they were. This eventually won the rebellion control over the entire Lifeless Army, which they sent up to Idris.{{book ref|wb|53}}
