===Early History===
As a youth, Lirin travelled to [[Kharbranth]] as a courier. During his travels, he had poor luck when meeting people from [[Thaylenah]], all of whom tried to swindle him. After meeting his wife, [[Hesina]], Lirin moved to [[Hearthstone]] and began a family.{{book ref|sa1|31}}{{book ref|sa1|10}}
===The Surgeon And his Apprentice===
Lirin began training his son [[Kaladin]] in the profession of surgery from a young age. When Kaladin was ten, he worked with his father on a young girl,
After the operation, Kaladin helped his father to clean the surgery room and discussed why he had been late. Disapproving of his
Several years later, Kaladin unsuccessfully tried to save the life of
===Brightlord Wistiow and the Goblet of Sphere’s===
Lirin and Brightlord [[Wistiow]] we’re close friends despite the difference in their social standing.In 1165, the Brightlord fell ill and was attended by Lirin who despite his best efforts, was unable to save the citylord’s life. On the day of Wistiow’s death, Lirin travelled to his manor to speak with the man. During his visit, he prepared documentation written by
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 [[Hesina]], engineered the theft of their friends wealth, as they knew that with his death would come the loss the potential union between their children. Rumors sprang up not long after the Brightlord’s death surrounding the legitimacy of the transaction, though concrete evidence was never produced to prove the sphere’s had been stolen.{{book ref|sa1|25}}{{book ref|sa1|37}}
On a rare night of indulgence, Lirin warned his son against returning to Hearthstone after
===The Butcher===
The new citylord, [[Roshone]], took a disliking to Lirin immediately after his arrival in Hearthstone. Lirin gathered with his family in the town square to greet the new Brightlord who had arrived in the area without prior warning. He attempted to welcome the new citylord to the town, but was rebuffed immediately, and sneered at by Roshone who blamed him for Wistiow’s death and the need for a new citylord in Hearthstone. After Roshone departs for his manor, Lirin compares his arrival with that of throwing a butcher in the game breakneck; what comes next
Life for Lirin went downhill quickly after Roshone’s appointment as citylord. At Roshone suggestion, the townspeople ceased their donations and inflated the price of their goods,
{{
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}}▼

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 sends his son away to the kitchens and continued the discussion with Roshone in private. During the conversation, he argued back and forth with the citylord over the amount he was willing to return before growing frustrated and leaving before an agreement was reached.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
===Children Lost===
====Rillir====
After a
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}}
====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
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 worries that Kaladin would volunteer, however his son did not step forward. After only six men volunteered, Amaram read through a list of townsfolk who would be pressed into the army to increase their numbers. Among the names chosen, was [[Tien]], Lirin’s second son.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
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 third carpenters apprentice could be targeted.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
Lirin attempted to prevent his so being taken, but was interceded by the Highmarshal. Roshone insisted that Lirin’s second son be impressed, and gloated at the victory he believed
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}}
===Child Found===
A year before the Everstorm, Lirin’s third son, [[Oroden]] was born.{{book ref|sa3|7}}
When Kaladin returned to Hearthstone following the [[Everstorm]], he found his father tending to the wounded. The parlor
{{
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 shash and slave brands. Lirin refused to let his son be sent away again, and vowed to buy Kaladin’s writ of freedom if need be. After growing frustrated, he looked to compromise with Roshone’s guard, and by extension the Brightlord himself, by writing to Highprince’s administrators for an explanation, buying the family time.{{book ref|sa3|6}}▼

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.
