Difference between revisions of "Szeth"

King [[Taravangian]], the last one on Szeth's hit list, turned out to be his secret employer. Widely known as the dim witted, elderly, yet kind king of [[Kharbranth]], Taravangian actually ran a secret hospital hidden in the king's palace. It was built in a large room with wide railings on the sides. Its purpose was to slowly kill the incredibly sick, elderly, or just undesired remnants of society by slowly draining the blood out of them, thereby protracting their death out of public eyesight. Taravangian did this because some of the dying spoke during the last moments of their life, which he thought might provide valuable insight about the coming Desolation. So in order to prepare for it, he began collecting their death throes.{{ref|b|twok|c|71}}

 

During a Highstorm, Szeth attacked King Elhokar's palace. He entered through a hole he cut in the way, and quickly killed Beld and cut through Hobber's midriff, crippling the use of his legs. He proceeded to fight against Adolin, Kaladin and Dalinar. He quickly gained the upper hand, sending Adolin to the ceiling and cutting through Kaladin's arm. When he was about to kill Dalinar, Dalinar caught the Shardblade between his hands, allowing Kaladin to push both himself and Szeth through the hole in the wall that Szeth had made to enter the palace. The two of them fell to the ground, both surviving. Szeth panicked when he saw Kaladin healing his arm, and when Kaladin told him he was a Windrunner, Szeth fled.
