* During his time in Tvlakv's slave caravan, Kaladin managed to find a blackbane plant and hid a few blackbane leaves in a makeshift belt. One night he had taken them out to contemplate what he was actually planning to do with them. The options included trying to poison Tvlakv and committing suicide if everything got to be too much. He ended up accidentally crushing and subsequently loosing them in his anger over Tvlakv's execution of a sick slave. [[Sylphrena|Syl]] was curious about the leaves but Kaladin was reluctant to tell her anything{{book ref|
