== History ==
=== Time as Citylord ===
Little is known about Wistiow's early life or marriage, but at some point in his life he became citylord of Hearthstone and fathered a daughter, [[Laral Wistiow]].{{book ref|sa1|16}} During his tenure as citylord, Wistiow tended to allow his people to live their lives as they wished.{{book ref|sa1|31}} Wistiow kept a small staff, including a footman, a butler,{{book ref|sa1|23}} a nurse for his daughter{{book ref|sa1|25}} and several clerks.{{book ref|sa1|37}} Wistiow also employed a man named [[Miliv]] who worked for Wistiow as his head steward,{{book ref|sa1|25}} as well as a cook named [[Barm]].{{book ref|sa1|37}} Throughout his life, Wistiow was always a frail man.{{book ref|sa1|16}}
During his time as citylord, Wistiow became friends with Lirin, the town's surgeon.{{book ref|sa1|41}} The two often joked about other lighteyes,{{book ref|sa1|41}} and Wistiow and Lirin also had made plans that their children, Kaladin and Laral, might one day wed.{{book ref|sa1|25}} House Wistiow was a relatively poor family of little-renown and both could benefit from the connection. Wistiow may even have promised that he would fund sending [[Kaladin]]'s training as a surgeon in Kharbranth to take care of his town.{{ref|group=fn|text=It is uncertain if Wistiow ever promised to pay for Kaladin's training. Lirin claims that in stealing the spheres, he only ensured that promises were kept, but he had earlier mentioned that they had lost the promise of a union with Laral.{{book ref|sa1|37}} This may indicate that they had originally planned to use Wistiow's money once Kaladin had married into the family, or even that Lirin was substituting the spheres for the loss of the engagement.}}
