History
Brightlady Navani Kholin was the patron of Falilar's studies in engineering and fabrials. He was present on the Shattered Plains at Navani's test of the floating parapet that was made with the use of reverser fabrials, where he observed a wobble in the parapet's ascent and was concerned by the fact that its motion was not smoother.[2] After the move to Urithiru, Navani sketched some new inventions, and one of her scribes suggested showing them to Falilar for him to verify the feasibility of such engineering.[6]
Falilar was part of the coterie of scientists and engineers that accompanied the Fourth Bridge to Hearthstone to evacuate the town. He worked closely with Rushu, inspecting the schematics to ensure that the Fourth Bridge would continue to work as it should.[3][4] When most of the town was onboard, Falilar informed Navani of the fifteen residents who had refused to leave and told her that the evacuation was going more quickly than planned. He was, however, still nervous that the Fourth Bridge would malfunction, so Navani instructed him to triple-check his calculations and make visual inspections.[4]
