<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Damashili is a minor figure in ''Days of Shattered Faith'', a cousin of [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Dekamran|Dekamran]] who threw her support behind [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Gorbudan|Gorbudan]] during the period of unrest following the [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Emir-Jarl of Farasland|Faraslandi]] incursion. She never appears directly in the narrative; all knowledge of her circumstances reaches the reader filtered through [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Angilly|Gil Angilly]]'s report to Dekamran, in which the seizure of her weapons, tablethi, and money is catalogued alongside other findings of an investigation into Usrani sympathies and complaints from [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Mantekor|Mantekor]] villages and the mills at [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Frava|Frava]].<br />
<br />
Her significance to the series is not as an actor but as evidence. In the tense exchange between Gil and Dekamran, the inventory of Damashili's seized holdings becomes a rhetorical weapon in Gil's argument that the investigative apparatus is being turned to Dekamran's private advantage. That a cousin's household was searched and stripped of arms and currency is raised not to advance Damashili's own story but to press Dekamran on the corruption of the machinery he ostensibly commands.<br />
<br />
The fact that Damashili has a young son - a child of approximately three years - is noted in Gil's report but carries no further weight in the narrative. She remains, throughout the single book in which she is mentioned, a name attached to a list of confiscated goods, visible only as a consequence of others' conflicts.<br />

== History ==<br />
=== Days of Shattered Faith ===<br />
Damashili is a cousin of [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Dekamran|Dekamran]] who, during the period of unrest following the [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Emir-Jarl of Farasland|Faraslandi]] incursion, threw her support behind [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Gorbudan|Gorbudan]]. In the course of the investigation led by [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Angilly|Gil Angilly]], her house was searched and weapons, [[The Tyrant Philosophers/tablethi|tablethi]], and money were seized; she has a son of approximately three years of age - ch 28. The seizure of her property is raised by Gil during a tense exchange with Dekamran in which he presents the findings of his investigation into Usrani sympathies and the complaints from [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Mantekor|Mantekor]] villages and the mills at [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Frava|Frava]]. Gil's invocation of Damashili's seized holdings and funds is part of his argument that the investigative apparatus is being deployed to serve Dekamran's own interests - "We're doing this for you, Dekamran. I'm doing this for you." - ch 28. Damashili herself does not appear on the page in this book; all knowledge of her circumstances comes filtered through Gil's report to Dekamran.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
* '''[[The Tyrant Philosophers/Dekamran|Dekamran]]''' - Damashili is Dekamran's cousin. The familial bond is stated as a matter of fact in Gil's report, and its relevance is political rather than personal: the seizure of her property is presented to Dekamran as part of an investigation whose true target is himself. The cousin relationship functions as evidence that Gil's net has closed uncomfortably close to Dekamran's own household. - ch 28<br />
* '''[[The Tyrant Philosophers/Gorbudan|Gorbudan]]''' - Damashili threw her support behind Gorbudan during the unrest following the Faraslandi incursion. The books give no further detail on the nature or depth of this alignment beyond the fact of her having made it. - ch 28<br />
<br />
== Notable Quotes ==<br />
:"We're doing this for you, Dekamran. I'm doing this for you." - [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Angilly|Gil Angilly]], speaking to Dekamran while listing the seized holdings of Damashili and others as evidence of corruption within the investigative apparatus - ch 28<br />
