=== Windrunner ===
Lyn was on one of the missions initially sent to [[Akinah]] to scout prior to [[Rysn]]'s [[Expedition to Akinah|expedition]]. Although this expedition was a failure, she and [[Sigzil]] rescued [[Leyten]] after his Stormlight was sucked away by a [[Sleepless]].{{book ref

She talked to the soldiers that were sent by the Fused pretending to be from the queen, they used the correct passwords and had the correct language. Urithiru’s soldiers had to hike for hours to meet them and the scouts were only able to see through spyglasses and saw what they thought were windrunners flying over the tower trying to ask for patience.{{book ref
She did try to to the tower herself, but due to Urithiru’s barrier she fell unconscious. The tower’s soldier dragged back her to the others.{{book ref
