==In Dancer's Lament==
At the time of Kanese King Chulalorn the Third's siege of Li Heng, Sister Night made camp somewhere north of the city. She was approached by a troop of Kan Elite cavalry who attempted to take her into custody. Sister Night called King Chulalorn a fool for trying to take the city, a task doomed to failure at the expense of many lives. She noted that not even the Talian Iron Throne challenged Li Heng while it was under the Protectress' protection.
The Kanese cavlary officer referred to the works of Gudaran where the historian "suggested it served the [Talian] throne to allow [Li Heng] to do so." Sister Night ridiculed Gudaran's opinion, calling the historian a "creature of the court. A sycophant who kissed the Talian kings' arses." Them she drove off the Elites by crushing one of their iron helmets in her bare hands.
