===Occupation of Revolar (11731174 – )===
 
Revolar is conquered by the [[Fused]] after the [[Battle of Narak]] and between 40,000 and 50,000 [[singer]]s{{book ref |sa3 |31}} now occupy the city. Parshmen from nearby regions of Alethkar are led by yellow-white spren towards the city, with many of these groups then travelling on towards Kholinar. [[Kaladin]] travels with a group of parshmen from [[Sadeas princedom]] to Revolar, where after encountering a Fused he escapes with the passing [[Highstorm]]. Before fleeing, Kaladin attempts to help the human captives held outside of the city reach shelter, after they are caught unaware by the storm.
 
After being captured by the Fused in the [[Frostlands]], [[Moash]] is transported to Revolar and held in the city's storm bunkers with the other human captives. Within these bunkers, there are workstations at which captives can sign up for either hard, basic or skilled labor.{{book ref |sa3 |45}} The Fused are particularly interested in smiths, fletchers, and armorers and captives hiding these skills risk punishment of half rations on their whole family.{{book ref |sa3 |45}} Moash volunteers at the hard labor station and is tasked with pulling carts from Revolar to Kholinar.
