=== Windrunner Squire ===

From then on, Lyn easily slid into Bridge Four's structure, becoming fast friendfriends with other members. Shortly before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], she was on good enough terms to know their history with [[Amaram]], even suggesting that she could "stab him a little" for them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} When [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] was stolen, she was present, and ordered another scout to fetch [[Renarin]] to help with [[Rock]]'s wounds.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
 
After [[Teft]] managed to swear his Third Ideal, Lyn came to [[Thaylen City]] along with the rest of Bridge Four, carrying Rock until he was close enough to Kaladin to start healing himself with Stormlight. Afterwards, she participated in the fighting.{{book ref|sa3|120}} She survived the battle, and was last seen listening to [[Lopen]]'s story of how he lost his arm.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
