===Brightlord Wistiow and the Goblet of Sphere’s===
Lirin and Brightlord [[Wistiow]] we’re close friends despite the
The Brightlord was not in his right mind during his last few days and did not have the capacity to transfer this wealth. Lirin, with the help of his wife
On a rare night of indulgence, Lirin warned his son against returning to Hearthstone after finishing his studies. The pair were shortly interrupted by a group of masked townsmen who had come to rob them and take Wistiow’s spheres. Lirin knew they were members of the town, and not bandits as assumed by Kaladin, and refused to be intimidated by them. Instead of cowering, he removed the cloth covering the spheres, and lit up the night, exposing the thieves and taking away their anonymity. When Lirin showed he was willing to stand against them,
===The Butcher===
After the family lost access to all sources of income, Roshone invited Lirin to dine with him, so he could further break the surgeon. Despite his mother’s attempts to distract him, Kaladin joined his father for the meeting. On their way to the manor, Lirin discussed the possibility of the family moving away, but admitted he struggled with the thought.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
Tensions were high when Lirin and Kaladin joined Roshone in the manor’s dining room. Initially, Roshone tried to seat the surgeon at a seperate table; an insult against Lirin who was entitled to a seat at the Brightlord’s table through his invitation and rank. Despite being offered food Lirin did not eat, instead choosing to skip directly to the reason behind his invitation. Roshone wished for the return of Wistiow’s spheres, of which Lirin had continuously refused
The citylord could not regain the sphere's using legal means as he was unlikely to win an inquest against the surgeon. Unable to get past Lirin’s stubborn refusal to return all of the sphere’s, Roshone turned to negotiation. After an outburst from Kaladin, Lirin
Lirin later revealed to Kaladin on their trip home that he never intended to give up the sphere’s. He had gone to the meeting to give the appearance of bending but had known that Roshone would never had agreed to only a partial transfer. Roshone was a petty man, who targeted and lashed out at Lirin as a surrogate for those he blamed for his exile from Kholinar. He would never be happy until he had taken away all power from Lirin and had been beaten down completely. Lirin, aware of the Brightlord’s game, used the opportunity to gain his family a reprieve from the oppressive citylord. It is during this same discussion, that Kaladin learned the truth around Wistiow’s sphere’s and his parents role in their theft.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
===Children Lost===
====Rillir====
After a catastrophic [[whitespine]] hunt, Roshone's son [[Rillir]] died whilst in Lirin's care. The young man was brought back, along with his father, ahead of the rest of the hunting party in the hopes he could be saved. Two others were injuries in the attack, however, [[Alps]] and [[Milp]] had been left to to be retrieved by the other townsfolk.
Rillir’s wounds were extensive, and after an assessment, Lirin determined he could not save the boy. Roshone, lying on a seperate tabled screamed at the surgeon to help his son, however, Lirin instead opted to tend to Roshone whose wounds weren’t as severe. He administered [[dazewater]] to the Brightlord to calm him, as well as to Rillir to ease his suffering. When he removed the whitespine tusk from Roshone’s leg, Lirin was presented with the opportunity to end the citylord’s life. Unable to kill those in his charge, he instead chose to save the Brightlord’s life.{{book ref|sa1|41}}
After the operation, Roshone was returned to his manor to rest and his son’s body sent to the crypt. Once again sitting on the steps outside of their home, Kaladin questioned his father over whether he would have let Roshone die if he had not also been in the room. Lirin responded in the negative; he could not have let another in his care die, though Kaladin’s presence had helped to strengthen his resolve.{{book ref|sa1|41}}
After Rillir’s death, Lirin began to spend Brightlord Wistiow’s spheres. He did not need
====Tien and Kaladin====
Six months later, during the [[Weeping]], the townsfolk of Hearthstone gathered once more in the square to await the arrival of a lighteye's. The last time they had gathered Roshone had become their city lord, this time they were greeted by Highmarshal [[Amaram]], cousin to Roshone and leader of the princedoms army, in the absence of
Amaram, who had been in the region to visit his cousin, used the opportunity to recruit new members to fight on the pricedom’s boarder. Lirin
The conscription of Tien had not been random. Roshone, vindictive and angry that Lirin had been unable to save Rillir, conspired to take away the surgeon’s son. While Lirin and Kaladin could not be forced into the army due to their professions of surgeon and surgeon’s assistant, Tien as the

Tien died, not four months after their departure. Lirin and Hesina received correspondence from Kaladin after his brothers death to inform them of his failure as well as his decision to not return to Hearthstone. Lirin and his wife did not reply. Several years later, they received notice that Kaladin had also been killed.{{book ref|sa1|47}}{{book ref|sa3|6}}

When Kaladin returned to Hearthstone following the [[Everstorm]], he found his father tending to the wounded. The parlor of Roshone’s manor had been converted into a triage room, for Lirin and his wife and his apprentice, [[Mara]], to use to see to the wounded. Although he did not initially recognise his son, Lirin quickly came to identify the newcomer and both he and Hesina shared a heartfelt reunion with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa3|6}}▼

While his wife saw to feeding and tending their son, Lirin argued with Roshone’s guards who had been put on edge by Kaladin’s brands. Lirin refused to let his son be sent away again, and vowed to buy Kaladin’s writ of
While Kaladin discussed the town’s situation in private with Roshone, Lirin continued to treat those wounded by the Everstorm. When he returned to the parlor, Kaladin slipped back into his old role as assistant, and helped his father administer first aid. Lirin disapproved of Kaladin’s path towards violence; while he believed war was inevitable, he wished that his son did not have to be involved.{{book ref|sa3|7}}
Although Kaladin expressed the desire to relocate his family to [[Urithiru]], Lirin refused, telling his son that he was needed in Hearthstone.{{book ref|sa3|7}}
