History
Until approximately 1165 Brightlord Wistiow was Hearthstone's citylord.[2] After he died the new citylord, Roshone, was sent from Kholinar to Hearthstone. He came to the town with his son Rillir who was to be married with Wistiow's daughter Laral for the purpose of an alliance between Roshone and a good house.[3] Roshone and his son went on a whitespine hunt were both of them were wounded badly. Rillir didn't survive.[4]
Eventually Brightlord Amaram's army came to Hearthstone (approximately 1167). Amaram showed up with Roshone and Laral (wearing a bride's prayer on her arm what indicated that she would have to marry Roshone). He came for the recruitment of new soldiers. When not enough of Hearthstone's men volunteered Roshone picked more to fill Amaram's army. While Lirin and Kaladin were safe from this duty (because they were a surgeon and his apprentice and thus vital to the city) Roshone picked Tien to hurt Lirin and his family. Because Kaladin wouldn't leave Tien alone, he volunteered, and so Lirin and Hesina lost both of their sons on the same day.[5]
