When they returned to Urithiru, Dalinar relieved Kaladin of duty and directed him to promote some of the other Windrunners.{{book ref|sa4|10}}{{book ref|sa4|15}} After discussing Sigzil's new role with him, Kaladin announced to the others that Sigzil would be promoted to the rank of companylord and would oversee daily administrative matters such as supplies and recruitment.{{book ref|sa4|15}} It took some time for the monarchs in the coalition to get used to Sigzil as leader of and spokesman for the Windrunners, as they were used to looking to Kaladin. Sigzil affirmed at their next meeting that the Windrunners would offer support to the offensive in [[Emul]], then suggested that the coalition send an envoy to the [[honorspren]] to address the discontinuance of honorspren seeking humans to bond as Radiants. He displayed a keen insight into their mindset, offering details on how the spren were likely to be thinking about humans, [[Nahel bond]]s, and the [[Recreance]], but refused to go himself, explaining that the honorspren were unlikely to receive a Windrunner well.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
 
=== Emuli Offensive ===
At an unknown point, Hoid offered Sigzil a Dawnshard for the sake of protecting the cosmere, which he accepted.{{book ref|tsm|10}} This put him on the radar of the [[Night Brigade]], who began to hunt him down across the cosmere.{{book ref|tsm|10}} The process also left him with what he described as a "torment": any attempt to hurt another person would cause his muscles to lock up, leaving him temporarily helpless.
 
In a moment of need Sigzil, carrying the Dawnshard, reached out for Investiture to protect himself. Looking for Investiture, the Dawnshard found it in Auxiliary and started to use his essence to fuel Sigzil's abilities, burning him away.{{book ref|tsm|20}} Sigzil just barely managed to stop it before Auxiliary was entirely burned away, which had an immense negative impact on the [[highspren]].{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|20}}
 
Eventually, he gave the Dawnshard to somebody else, hoping that it would get the Night Brigade off his trail, but they continued to hunt him regardless. This is because his lingering Connection to the Dawnshard could lead them to it by making a Hemalurgic spike out of him.{{book ref|tsm|28}} Thus he was forced to continue running from them for decades.{{book ref|tsm|13}} During this time, he had visited tens of planets,{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|34}}{{wob ref|15592}}{{wob ref|15589}} including [[Ashyn]] and [[Threnody]].{{book ref|tsm|2}}{{book ref|tsm|15}}
 
=== Zeal ===
 
Upon initially meating Sigzil, Zeal was extremely wary of him.{{book ref|tsm|7}} While the two are first meeting with the Greater Good, Zeal keeps close watch over Nomad the entire time and keeps his hand on the device to activate Nomad's bracers.{{book ref|tsm|7}}{{book ref|tsm|11}} When instructed to remove the bracers, Zeal confirms the order with the Greater Good twice before complying.{{book ref|tsm|11}} Slowly overtime, Sigzil gains Zeal's trust; his outlook moving from hostility,{{book ref|tsm|7}}{{book ref|tsm|11}} to a sarcastic contempt of Nomad's apparent ignorance,{{book ref|tsm|19}} to acceptance,{{book ref|tsm|22}} and finally to reliance and friendship.{{book ref|tsm|36}}{{book ref|tsm|41}}{{book ref|tsm|42}}
