Ka is a barmaid who works at the Ornery Chull, a tavern in the Kholin warcamp on the Shattered Plains of Roshar during the Era of Solitude.[1] She later marries Peet and becomes a scribe for a squad of Windrunners.[2]
Appearance and Personality
Ka is a pretty darkeyed woman.[1]
Ka is good-natured, willing to tease and banter with the men of Bridge Four.[1] She seems to particularly enjoy poking fun at Rock, rolling her eyes at his attempts to flatter her. She gives them special attention at the tavern as well, serving them drinks at their table when others have to go to the bar to order. She and Peet are very close; he sometimes helps her clear tables while she is at work. She is at least somewhat well-educated, able to read the women's script.[3]
History
Ka moved to the Shattered Plains sometime after the Alethi highprinces swore the Vengeance Pact, beginning the War of Reckoning against the listeners. She began working at a tavern in the Kholin warcamp called the Ornery Chull. Sometime after the Battle of the Tower, Ka began a relationship with Peet, a member of Bridge Four. Their relationship was serious, and by the end of 1173 seemed to be nearing the point of marriage. Peet often came to the tavern to see Ka, sometimes bringing his companions from Bridge Four. Ka became friendly with them, particularly with Rock, whom she teased about his fondness for strong Horneater lagers.[1] The evening that Kaladin and Moash met with Graves and the other conspirators at the Ornery Chull, Ka brought them to a private table and served drinks to the two of them, as well as to Peet, Lopen, and Rock.[1]
She and Peet had become engaged by the time Kaladin arrived back from his first trip to Hearthstone. Sigzil reminded Kaladin to ask about family housing after bringing up their betrothal, as Bridge Four had not yet been assigned any family accommodations in Urithiru.[4] After the Battle of Thaylen Field and Adolin and Shallan's wedding, Shallan opened her wedding present from Kaladin and Bridge Four and discovered it to be a pair of boots; she thought Ka looked embarrassed by the gift.[5]
When Kaladin met Ka, he considered potentially using her as a scribe and clerk for Bridge Four. Whether or not this had occurred by the time that Kaladin resolved to have her read the recently published transcriptions of Dalinar's visions to him,[3] she was a scribe for, presumably, the Windrunner squad that Peet belonged to by the time of the evacuation of Hearthstone. She accompanied the group who took the Fourth Bridge to Hearthstone and ran a spanreed for Navani during the trip, acting as an intermediary between the Fourth Bridge and the group in Urithiru running the gemstone lattice that raised and lowered the flying ship.[2]
Trivia
- Ka and Peet are cameos for Karen Ahlstrom and Peter Ahlstrom.[6]
