Difference between revisions of "Lezian"

After this event, Lezian is left with more free reign in leading the occupation efforts, as Raboniel is focused more on her research. His troops dominated the Tower, and reports of singer violence against the humans grew.{{book ref|sa4|74}} As rumors of the confrontation in the market spread, the Fused try to counter Kaladin's growing reputation by spinning the narrative, and Venli thinks that Lezian is behind their messaging, as she feels that Raboniel would have taken a subtler approach.{{book ref|sa4|74}} Later, when people start marking themselves with the shash glyph as a sign of defiance against the Fused, and support for Kaladin, Lezian orders his men to beat those that do so. Raboniel, however, revokes this order the next day.{{book ref|sa4|79}} Though Raboniel tries to rein him and his men in, he keeps pushing for more brutality in the Tower. Raboniel's occasional orders to maintain peace in the Tower barely restrain him and his men, and humans tended to avoid the area where they were housed.{{book ref|sa4|83}} He posts several Regals on rotation in the infirmary where [[Lirin]] and [[Hesina]] have been hiding, and Lirin suspects that this is specifically because Lezian knows they are there, even if he cannot do anything while Leshwi's influence protects them.{{book ref|sa4|79}} Leshwi, on the otherhandother hand, thinks that Lezian is not so subtle, and that this was more Raboniel's hand showing.{{book ref|sa4|83}}

When the final node is found, and Kaladin and company make preparations, Kaladin and [[Teft]] realize that like the last two times, the Pursuer would be waiting for him with a trap ready.{{book ref|sa4|100}} Meanwhile, Raboniel, who has sent the Pursuer to break the node, suspects he is deliberately stalling to lure Kaladin, and sends [[Vyre]] out to do the task.{{book ref|sa4|102}} As Kaladin approaches what he expects to be a trap, he sees the Pursuer sitting in the center of the atrium waiting for him, and engages.{{book ref|sa4|102}} Their contest quickly takes centerstage, and even the [[Fused#Shanay-im|Heavenly Ones]] descend to watch.{{book ref|sa4|103}} Like before, Lezian immediately drops his body as his first husk, streaking forward in ribbon form to grapple with his opponent. Kaladin expects this and drops his spear, catching Lezian's wrists as he manifests a body, willingly entering the grapple. Lezian manages to hook Kaladin's foot and shove him to the ground, but Kaladin is able to pull him down with him. As before, Lezian taunts him, but this time, Kaladin correctly surmises that the most important thing to Lezian is his legend, and that each time he loses to Kaladin, that legend dies a little bit more.{{book ref|sa4|103}} He then uses Navani's fabrial, which he has shifted around from a glove to a belt, to break the wrestle.{{book ref|sa4|103}}
