As the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] unfolds, Kmakl, Fen, and Navani Kholin survey the battlefield from the city walls.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Kmakl believes that the coalition may successfully defend the city until a [[thunderclast]] appears nearby, shaking the ground and severely damaging the wall.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Kmakl suffers a cut to his scalp, but he and Fen are able to escape down a staircase to a guard chamber.{{book ref|sa3|116}} However, they are seized by soldiers from [[Sadeas princedom|House Sadeas]] under the influence of the [[Thrill]].{{book ref|sa3|117}} They are bound and gagged{{book ref|sa3|117}} and the soldiers move to kill Kmakl, since [[Amaram]] will only care about the queens.{{book ref|sa3|118}} Kmakl tries to face his death with dignity, but the soldiers continue to manhandle him until Navani is able to incapacitate them with her [[painrial]].{{book ref|sa3|118}}
