With the announcement of this alliance, King Cû’jara-Cinmoi sued for peace, declaring that a "King of Three Mansions may be brother to a King of two". The Day Lantern was then deployed as a weapon during the Cûno-Inchoroi Wars , used to pierce the darkest hiding places of the foe and to dismay Sranc , which preferred to fight in darkness. It’s last known carrier was Titirga , who carried it with him to his death in Viri at the hands of Shaeönanra and Aurang . The fate of the Day Lantern after this point is unknown.
