Heading to the outskirts of the grand hall, Jasnah found a door to the room where the worldsingers were supposed to be. Upon entering she found one man. "You are the worldsinger my father hired, correct? Where are the others?" The worldsinger responded "They all left after they heard that there had been multiple murders. None of them thought it was worth the risk of being killed. Honestly, I was just finishing packing, then I was also going to leave too" "I understand your fear, worldsinger. But fear not, you are under the direct supervision of the king's daughter, and I will be certain nothing happens to you" "Weren't you recently attacked?" the worldsinger responded. "I was." Jasnah conceded. "However, my attacker has been located and dealt with. I am certain that I can offer you protection from any threats until you are on the stage, at which time no one would dare attack you, because you will be in front of everyone. I know that normally we allow the worldsinger to choose the story to tell, but I believe that the story of Fleet may be able to bring a positive message to those here tonight." "I know the story of fleet," The worldsinger responded "The man who raced a highstorm." Then he paused for a moment before continuing. "I know the story, but my mentor knows it much better, and is able to tell it with much better flare. I think I saw the man running around somewhere. He tends to get himself into places, but I do not think many know that he was once a worldsinger, as it has been many years since he left that life. I will tell the story. But If I find my mentor, I will have him tell the story instead." Jasnah thought about the worldsinger's words for a second, then agreed. "I will agree to that. What is your name Worldsinger, so we can introduce you to my father, King Gavilar?" The worldsinger didn't respond immediately, then finally, said "Call me LizgiS"

"I believe that my father hired some worldsingers to come. I will see if I can locate them" Jasnah said. Then she turned to find the worldsingers.

Adolin was ostracized, but has since returned. Liss was ostracized. Thaidakar was killed. None of us seem to know much about that. I was attacked, but protected. We're not sure exactly why but a few different reasons have been suggested to me through PM. Ialai accidentally killed Torol, due to a redirect. Then we've pretty much caught up to this cycle, where we ostracized a foreign diplomat, someone killed Renarin, and someone killed Restares.

Sorry guys, basically my post removed my vote on restares, then I decided not to remove it. That's all.

I said something, but I'm taking it back until I get confirmation in a PM. So I am changing this post. I can replace the original if absolutely necessary.

This may change, but for now, restares. Darkness said that he couldn't find evidence, however, I believe restares is responsible for at least one of the attacks.

Let's be honest, it was probably your win condition to insult sadeas to death. Congrats on winning the game!

"Technically we should have heard the Grand Clock chime about 25 seconds ago, but sometimes it is just a little bit delayed" Edit. Oops There it is Didn't see Orlok's post.

"I do not fear death, Torol. Death is a natural process of life" Jasnah retorted. "I will graciously accept that path when it presents itsself to me. However, I like you, would like to prolong my experience in this life as much as possible. Because the knowledge I acquire may end up shaping all of Roshar one day, and I'd like to live long enough to see that happen." Jasnah, feeling slightly offended by Sadeas's remark regarding her recent denunciation of Organized Vorinism, turned away, but remained in the same group as Sadeas, giving him a chance to respond if he felt so inclined.

We had been planning to cooperate on an action. During rollover, it was initially missed, and so he thought I had been lying about something major about myself. So he voted on me. After a little bit, we figured it out, so he removed his vote, because the mistake was resolved. The shardblade was in there just for RP/LOTR purposes. The anonymous message suggests that it may be someone else attempting to find out who the first killer was, and is trying to kill them now. At first I thought that meant the killer was different, but That can't be because, unless the person has 2 actions, they can't send an anonymous message, and an attack at me. So I agree, it's either the same killer, but now we're going to have 2 running around, OR, it's a different killer, and we're going to have 3 killers running around now. Either way, scary.

Responding to Klade and Venli, Jasnah decided it was time to explain more about the Alethi people, their history, culture and religion. She explained how her father had united the 10 highprinces through conquest, but had since turned away from conquest to a more diplomatic approach, how he seemed to be very interested in not only the parshendi, but the advances of many types of fabrials, and how he was constantly discussing such things with the other highprinces and the ardents. She explained how the Vorin culture believed that the better you fulfilled your mission here, the more likely it was that you would be able to keep fighting in the tranqueline halls. "... I know that there are people at work here, who do not want the unity of Alethi and parshendi, or parshendi with any people for that sake, but our goal is to overcome them, and hopefully create a more stable nation. Tell me a bit of your history, and beliefs."

Well, I was protected! If my protector could reach out to me in PM, that would be muchly appreciated. Also, If my attacker could do the same, that'd be great! But for some reason, I don't think my attacker will reach out to me. Also, if there is any type of hint in the write-up, it suggests that I was not attacked by a shardbow. Because the object was thrown. Also, I'm offended to be referred to as a guest, when the dinner is being held in my family's house. But rarely are there hints in the write-up. So that's probably not it.

As Klade began speaking with Jasnah, Venli approached as well. "Klade, Venli, I am doing well. I hope you can see past this crazy night, as Alethi politics are about more than just murder and espionage. We actually do have a very complex, versatile political system, that is usually very stable. Surely in your people's history there are examples of contentions and strife among the ruling class?"

"If we really want to discover who is at fault for the murder of Thaidakar, perhaps it would be good for us to discuss what we know of Thaidakar, and his actions tonight. Many of you may know that a bit over an hour ago, I was involved in helping others locate a black sphere. I do not yet know of any true purpose for the black sphere, but I do know Thaidakar was also searching for it recently. He reached out to me for information, and promised help in return. Unfortunately, His chance to return the deed has been cut short. But perhaps, knowing that he was looking for this object will help us know what happened to him." Jasnah reported loudly to all who would listen. After a moment of silence, she added. "Since that time, I believe the black sphere has been passed around multiple times anyways, and I no longer know where it is. But if it is important to you, please reach out to me personally, and I can provide you more information regarding it's past locations." After she finished, she collected herself, and turned to discuss more with the Parshendi. She genuinely had interest in their culture, but the events of the night kept interrupting her.

So, um are these spheres an actual in-game effect? or is it just a mechanic your Character came up with to be a hub for object trading? Why can't I just reach out to the other person and ask them for a favor in return for something they might actually use? Ok. So if you can transfer up to 2 items per half hour, that means there might be another person in on this with you, right? So we would possibly need to transfer the item to that person instead. I do see a benefit of doing this, because now if anyone does need to find an object, they would have a place to go to search for first. But I still think that these spheres will do us the most good, if we want to negotiate with you. So it's for real, but is it something you've come up with this, or is it officially sanctioned by Honor and Odium?(GMs)

Based on PMs, I think it's because he didn't receive help on something that I promised to him, but on my end it says the action was successful.

"Yes, brother, timespren are what make these fabrials. The difficulty is in the obtaining the timespren, as they rarely ever manifest themselves. I would go into more detail, but I'm afraid I don't think you'd understand. "And, unfortunately, they don't work as we had hoped. They were supposed to slow down everyone except the user. Instead, they merely slow down the passing of time, but no one actually slows down. Also, one of the chulls took them. Unless we find the timespren soon, this will be a long night."

"I remember when your music conductor came by the house for your additional practices" Jasnah mused to Elhokar. "I usually went to the other end of the palace, or to the monastery to read."

"Eshonai, is it? How are you this evening?" Jasnah said as she approached the first of the Parshendi. "The reason i've come over here is actually to ask if any of the Parshendi have good enough eyes with their different forms to see whatever was up in the rafters? But I'd also like to apologize for all that has gone on here. Alethkar really is a united kingdom, United just recently under Gavilar himself, and we've had no issues of subterfuge up until now. While I do partially blame myself for inviting Liss, At the time I believed that I needed her expertise for a personal reason. However, it seems that someone has found out who Liss was, and is now using her to play some political game. "But, I sidetrack. Did you or anyone else happen to see what was in the rafters?"

Jasnah tried to see who was in the rafters. All she could see was a shadowed figure. The figure disappeared. What the storms is that? some sort of spren? a magician? She thought? Time to see if anyone could get a better look. Turning, she approached the Parshendi. They seemed to each have different abilities, maybe one of them had exceptional sight. "Did any of you see what was up there?"

"Ahh, yes. Young Adolin. Let us all hope that we've all learned a lesson from Adolin's experience. And let us hope Adolin has learned the biggest lesson of them all."

"Our King governs alone, and makes all final decisions. But he does have advisers who assist him and often they tell him which would be the best decision."

"Ah yes, Hello!" Jasnah responded. "You must think us crazy after all of what has happened this evening, however, I must assure you, even though my father insists that this is typical of an Alethi feast, it has never gone this far out of control. I'm certain it won't happen again." Tell me, Venli, what do you think of Alethi Politics, apart from what you've seen tonight of course. And how do you compare that to your kind's politics?"

"I will be honest with all of you, the reason Liss is here[canonically] is because I hired her to spy on Aesudan. I know that what she is up to is far beyond what I was paying for her to do, and, threatened the treaty with the parshendi. I have heard through private conversations that some people want to assassinate her, which is ironic, because that is her primary occupation. I would like to suggest instead that we just just her for a few minutes so all of us can calm down, then eventually allow her to return. Also, ninjad by Liss
