Lirin and Brightlord [[Wistiow]] we’re close friends despite the differencedifferences 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 writtenon bybehalf hisof ownthe hand in glyphsBrightlord, that would gift his family a number of [[spheres#currency|diamond broams]]. After the document was read to the Brightlord by his clerks, Wistiow ordered his staff from the room, leaving Lirin as the only witness to his authorisation of the transaction. Later, after returning home, Lirin is found by Kaladin in his surgery. After telling his son of the Brightlord’s passing, Lirin informed him about the 'inherited' spheres and how they would be used to pay for Kaladin’s further study in [[Kharbranth]] when he was older.{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa1|25}}{{book ref|sa1|37}}

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 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, thenthe men disappeared.{{book ref|sa1|31}}
