<!--In which Adolin trusts Sadeas about as far as he can throw him (which is not very far because no one will let him try, storm it all!)-->
Adolin and his brother Renarin accompany King [[Elhokar]] and the Highprinces Dalinar, [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]] and [[Vamah]] on a chasmfiend hunt and Adolin spends the early part of the trip worrying about the state of his father’s mind and his reputation. He worries that Sadeas will make a move against his father now that Dalinar is appearing weak to the eyes of Alethi society. Because of his suspicions he constantly remains close to the front of the procession for the purposes of eavesdropping. All the while it is he who has effective command of the Kholin army, setting up outriders and scouts the way his father would want even if he feels they are unnecessary. This is a situation that is becoming more frequent as Dalinar has been giving him command more often. Adolin also detests the restrictions and limitations the [[Alethi Codes of War]] have placed on his duelling, something else his father has been insisting on.{{book ref|twok|12}}
Dalinar reveals he’s thinking of leaving the Shattered Plains Adolin is flabbergasted and vehemently opposed to the idea, not only because it is un-Alethi in its conception but also in concern for his father’s reputation. He even suggests striking at the [[Parshendi]] rather than simply playing games like the other highprinces are doing.{{book ref|twok|12}} When the [[chasmfiend]] appears on the wrong plateau, threatening unarmed attendants, guests and scribes, Adolin helps his father and Elhokar kill it. During the fight he is knocked down and when he rises to protect the King his father gets there first and Adolin is momentarily awed by seeing his father display the prowess that earned him the title of [[Blackthorn]].{{book ref|twok|13}}
