Ka moved to the Shattered Plains sometime after the [[Alethi]] [[highprince]]s swore the [[Vengeance Pact]], beginning the [[War of Reckoning]] against the [[listener]]s. 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.{{book ref|sa2|46}} 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.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
