===Expedition to Aimia===
A few months after the Battle of Thaylen Field, Lopen and [[Huio]] were chosen by [[Kaladin]] to join the Thaylen [[expedition to Akinah]] aboard the [[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]] as they were capable of swimming,{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} and did not yet have Blades.{{book ref|sa3.5|13}} [[Rysn]] took to him quickly on account of his personality, and the two bonded over shared experience with disability.{{book ref|sa3.5|5}} He also endeared himself to the Ardent [[Rushu]] by engaging in discussion of her artifabrian projects. Lopen
After [[Nikli]]'s plot to sabotage the expedition was uncovered, Lopen and Huio were tasked with flying the Sleepless and its assistant, [[Plamry]], to shore for incarceration.{{book ref|sa3.5|10}}
As the ship crossed through the storm surrounding [[Akinah]] Lopen remained on deck, using Stormlight to adhere the captain's foot to the deck for stability. Lopen dove into the water to rescue [[Turlm]] when he was tossed overboard. With [[Rua]]'s help, he was the first to notice a shadow in the depths that would turn out to be a large [[Sleepless|hordeling]] following the ship.{{book ref|sa3.5|11}}
Once they landed on Akinah, Lopen and Rushu split from the main group to search for a sign of the Aimian [[Oathgate]] - a task given to them by [[Navani]].{{book ref|sa3.5|14}} Using Lashings to fly, Lopen identified the layout of ancient Akinah from above, giving Rushu proof that her sketches had been correct. A lack of crem buildup led both to conclude that the real city (and the real Oathgate) had been hidden underground by someone wishing to deter exploration. When they found the Oathgate chamber, Lopen realized that they had placed themselves in a compromised position and risked attack from whatever force wanted the island hidden.{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}
