However, Lightsong, imprisoned in the dungeon alongside the God King, sacrifices himself by giving the God King his BioChromatic Breath. The Pahn Kahl, having gained the Commands to control the city's undead Lifeless army, send them to attack the Idrians and start the war. Lightsong and many of the other gods are taken captive as well. The Pahn Kahl servants capture Siri, kill many of the God King's priests, and throw the God King in the dungeon. However, Vasher is captured and tortured by Denth, who is revealed to have been working for the God King's Pahn Kahl servants, who are trying to incite war between the Idrians and Hallendren so that they can take the city for themselves. Vivenna convinces Vasher to try and save her sister Siri from the God King's palace. Together, Vivenna and Vasher work to undo the damage done by Denth and avert the war. He wields a sword called Nightblood, a weapon created in a Biochromatic experiment and which possesses sentience. After hiding and living destitute in the Idrian slums of Hallandren for weeks, Vivenna is taken in by Vasher, a mysterious man who can use his BioChromatic Breath to Awaken objects, an art at which he is incredibly skilled. Siri finds a potential ally in the unorthodox god Lightsong, who is plagued by nightmares of war and is struggling to discover his purpose.īack in the city, Vivenna discovers that Denth and Tonk Fah are not working for her but against her, having been hired by an unknown third party to instigate the war with Idris, and she barely escapes their custody with her life. However, Siri believes that the priests are secretly plotting to kill her and the God King if she produces an heir, and fears that Hallandren will soon launch a war against Idris. Siri teaches the God King to communicate by writing, and over time they learn to care for each other and fall in love. Though he is intelligent, he possesses a childlike outlook because his education was withheld. Siri, after spending many terrified nights waiting for the God King to procreate with her, finds that he is not actually the menacing, frightening God that she thought, but has actually had his tongue cut out by his priests, making him nothing more than a figurehead. Vivenna joins up with Denth and Tonk Fah, mercenaries that were under Lemex's employ, and together they begin making guerilla attacks against Hallandren's supply depots and convoys that will hopefully give the Idrians an advantage in the seemingly inevitable war. Upon arriving in Hallandren, Vivenna meets with Lemex, one of her father's spies in the city, but he has taken ill and dies shortly thereafter - though not before bequeathing his large sum of BioChromatic Breath to her (which is considered heretical by the Idrians). Vivenna follows her to Hallandren in the hope of saving Siri from her fate. However, King Dedelin sends his other daughter Siri to meet the treaty instead. Vivenna was contracted through a treaty written before she was born to marry the God King of rival nation Hallandren. Warbreaker tells the story of two Idrian princesses, Vivenna and Siri.
