Brightlady [[Navani Kholin]] was the patron of Falilar's studies in engineering and [[fabrial]]s. He was present on the [[Shattered Plains]] for her test of the floating parapet that was made with the use of reverser fabrials, where he observed a wobble in the parapet's ascent and was concerned by the fact that its motion was not smoother.{{book ref|sa2|35}} After the move to [[Urithiru]], Navani sketched some new inventions, and one of her scribes suggested showing them to Falilar for him to verify the feasibility of such engineering.{{book ref|sa3|50}}
When [[Rysn]] undertook her [[Expedition to Akinah]], [[Huio]] stumbled across a previously undiscovered application of [[aluminum]]: using it in fabrials with conjoined rubies to cause them to ignore certain directions of movement.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} After the discovery was reported back to Urithiru, Falilar made a breakthrough involving fabrial cages that allowed the [[artifabrians]] to isolate planes of motion. This in turn led to the successful design of the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' and other, smaller, inventions.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
Falilar was part of the coterie of scientists and engineers that accompanied the ''Fourth Bridge'' to [[Hearthstone]] to evacuate the town. He worked closely with [[Rushu]], inspecting the schematics to ensure that the ''Fourth Bridge'' would continue to work as it should.{{book ref|sa4|3}}{{book ref|sa4|6}} When most of the town was onboard, Falilar informed Navani of the fifteen residents who had refused to leave and told her that the evacuation was going more quickly than planned. He was, however, still nervous that the ''Fourth Bridge'' would malfunction, so Navani instructed him to triple-check his calculations and make visual inspections.{{book ref|sa4|6}}
