| − | He dictated an account of one of the first encounters with the [[Parshendi]]. He had been skeptical about initial sightings of "wild" [[parshmen]] by [[Dalinar]]'s scouting group, and was stunned when several individuals appeared at Gavilar's camp. He provided a physical description of the Parshendi, including their weapons and clothing. Gavilar tasked him with investigating their language, society, and music. Matain still thought they might be a hoax, but was forced to acknowledge their authenticity after learning more about their culture. Matain's account of Gavilar's sudden scholarly interest in the Parshendi was not an embellishment, according to [[Jasnah Kholin]].{{book ref|sa1|45}} |
