During the year 1173, [[Jasnah Kholin]] travelled to Kharbranth to access to the Conclave and the Palanaeum, in order to continue her research into the [[Voidbringers]] and [[Urithiru]]. [[Shallan Davar]], who had been attempting to contact the [[Alethi]] princess for six months, arrived in Kharbranth part way through the year, relieved to find that she had finally caught up to Jasnah. Shortly after she arrived, a cave-in occurred within the palace following the [[Highstorm]], trapping one of king Tarvangian's granddaughters inside one of the Conclave's many rooms. The scenario was deliberately planned by the king, who believed Jasnah may have been able to Soulcast without the use of a [[Soulcaster]] fabrial, to create a situation where he could observe her using [[Soulcasting]]. Believing that the fallen boulder needed to be removed as soon as possible and time was of the essence, Jasnah Soulcast the boulder into smoke, freeing Taravangian's granddaughter and allowing the king, as well as Shallan Davar who had recently arrived at the palace, the opportunity to witness her [[Surgebind]].
