=== Assassination of Gavilar ===
On the day of his [[Assassination of Gavilar|assassination]], [[Gavilar]] spoke to Eshonai privately. She was the first listener to learn that Gavilar wanted to bring back the listeners' old gods. He gave her a [[Black sphere|dark gemstone]] and told her to give it to [[The Five]]. Taking the gemstone, Eshonai went to the Five and told them of Gavilar's plans, and the group decided to assassinate the Alethi king. Though Eshonai was not yet on the Council of Five, the council gave her a vote and listened to her advice due to her role as an interpreter. She voted in favor of killing Gavilar, in order to keep the listeners free of their gods and to affirm the decision made by their [[Last Legion|ancestors]] centuries ago.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}{{book ref|sa3|prologue}}
