==== Unifying Alethkar ====
[[File: OB - Flashback Gavilar Dalinar.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Young Gavilar and Dalinar by [[User: Botanicaxu]]]]
Dalinar, Gavilar, and their friend, [[Torol Sadeas]], sought to unite the scattered Alethi princedoms and have a true kingdom once more. Each highprince historically ruled over their lands individually, and conflicts between the princedoms were common. This strife between the warring highprinces had lasted for centuries. Gavilar’sGavilar's vision was to put an end to that.
 
The Kholins started by conquering their neighbors by force. From the beginning, Dalinar was an unstoppable terror on the battlefield. In some part due to his close connection with the [[Thrill]] and Dalinar’sDalinar's own callous bloodlust, he quickly created a reputation for being able to win any engagement. Dalinar by himself could clear a battlefield of opponents, losing himself in the ease of killing.
 
In the early days of the unification war, Dalinar hand-picked his own elite force of soldiers, sometimes even selecting enemy combatants and winning them over. One notable encounter of this was when fighting Brightlord Yezriar, an enemy soldier shot Dalinar with massive black arrows. The wounds were very serious, but Dalinar was so impressed at the distance the archer shot from that he chased him down. This archer was [[Teleb]], and Dalinar recruited him on the spot. Those black arrows with which Teleb shot Dalinar mark the incident that gave Dalinar his famous moniker of The Blackthorn.{{book ref|sa3|3}}

Over the next year, Dalinar won his own Shards. His Plate he won in combat that involved kicking a man off of a cliff. The Plate was still new to him when the war took them to [[Rathalas]], otherwise known as the Rift, where Brightlord Tanalan rules. Dalinar knew that Tanalan had a Shardblade, and in the ensuing battle, he went straight to Tanalan to kill him and win the Blade. He defeated Tanalan but Tanalan’sTanalan's body was taken away by his men before the Shard appears. Dalinar tracked down the place where Tanalan was taken and found Tanalan’sTanalan's widow, and Tanalan’sTanalan's young son holding the Shardblade. Dalinar takes the Blade but can’tcan't find it within himself to kill Tanalan’sTanalan's family. After the battle, Gavilar tells Dalinar that the Blade he won is [[Oathbringer_(Shardblade)]], the sword that belonged to the legendary Alethi conqueror, [[Sadees]] the Sunmaker.{{book ref|sa3|11}}
 
A year later, the war had started to slow down and the Kholins were looking for allies. They turned to [[Rira]] and [[Iri]]. They negotiated with [[Toh]] and [[Evi]], a Westerner Brightlord and his sister. During one of their initial meetings, Dalinar impressed them by walking about in a highstorm and stopping an assassin from killing Gavilar in a notably casual manner.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
 
Two years after that, the war was still on going. Dalinar and Evi were betrothed, not yet married. Dalinar led the attack against Highprince Kalanor, intent on winning the Shards that Kalanor held. While in the battle, Dalinar gets so caught up in the Thrill that he didn’tdidn't realize he killed Kholin men during the assault. Dalinar killed Kalanor in single combat, winning his Shards, but the Thrill was so strong in him that when Gavilar approached him afterwards, Dalinar went after his own brother with the intent to kill him. Only when Gavilar took off his helm and smiled at him did Dalinar snap out of it. Deeply ashamed of himself, Dalinar gifted Gavilar the Shards he had just won. He swears to himself that he must never be king.{{book ref|sa3|26}}

==== Married Life ====
After five more years, the war had officially ended but the fighting hadn’thadn't. Evi was pregnant with their first child, but their relationship was strained by the non-stop battlefronts. Dalinar’sDalinar's bloodthirst and Evi’sEvi's horror at it strained their relationship. Gavilar received a demand from [[Rathalas]] telling Dalinar to return the Blade to their heir. Though Gavilar was upset that Dalinar didn’tdidn't deal with the Tanalan heir, Evi was happy to find out that Dalinar had spared the Tanalan boy so many years ago. Dalinar was happy both to have pleased Evi and also at the news of a Rift rebellion, for if they were going to rebel, he would have the opportunity to fight.{{book ref|sa3|36}}
 
But a year later, Dalinar was still safe at home in [[Kholinar]]. His restlessness turned to using [[firemoss]] and permanently maiming people in tavern fights. At a wrestling match, Dalinar was summoned away with the news that Evi was in labor. He ran to see her, and found her afterwards, with his son already born. Dalinar was so overjoyed when he saw his son the first time that he was overtaken with [[gloryspren]]. He named him [[Adolin]], “born unto light”, and spoke a hope for him that he would have his father’sfather's strength, but also his mother’smother's compassion.{{book ref|sa3|49}}
 
Gavilar was present at Adolin’sAdolin's birth, but brought Dalinar some bad news. He’dHe'd been unable to contain the situation at Rathalas. He’dHe'd decided not to send Dalinar to fight there, however, opting to send him instead to fight the Herdazians and Vedens on Alethkar’sAlethkar's border as a gesture of Kholin strength.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Dalinar fought on the border against the Herdazians for four years, ensuring the security of Alethkar’sAlethkar's border. Unfortunately, for all that time, Rathalas still refused to submit. Evi brought Adolin and their second son, [[Renarin]] to the battlefront. It was the first time Dalinar met Renarin, and he wasn’twasn't pleased to learn the meaningless of Renarin’sRenarin's chosen name: “Like"Like one who was born unto himself." Evi reminded Dalinar that he didn’tdidn't answer many of her [[spanreed]] messages and he could have had input into Renarin’sRenarin's name if he’dhe'd wanted to. It bothered Dalinar that even so long after battle, even while interacting with his family, that the Thrill takes so long to fade.{{book ref|sa3|52}}
 
Dalinar spent more years fighting the Vedens. As Adolin grew into his adolescence, Dalinar was pleased to have his oldest accompany him on the years-long campaign. Dalinar was coaching Adolin on battlefield strategy when Evi arrived with a letter from Gavilar. Dalinar guessed the contents before Evi could even finish the letter: Gavilar was sending him to the Rift. The Rathalas rebels were more entrenched than ever, and Gavilar was out of options. Dalinar, pleased to hear the news, suggested that they might never settle in Kholinar again. Evi was distraught to hear it, and cried at the thought that she might never again have a life free from war and death. Both upset at each other, Dalinar promised Evi at least a year in Kholinar after he put down the rebellion at the Rift.{{book ref|sa3|66}}
 
==== The Rift ====
Dalinar approached the Rift’sRift's leaders in person, and Dalinar spoke with [[Tanalan]] the younger, the son he spared who had grown up into the Brightlord of the Rift. Though initially hostile, Tanalan listened to Dalinar’sDalinar's conviction that the rebels would lose. Tanalan informed Dalinar that Sadeas was working against him, and Dalinar promised him the rank of highprince in return. Dalinar left him with Tanalan’sTanalan's directions to where Sadeas’Sadeas' men were hiding, pleased that he was able to find a peaceful solution, knowing that it would make Evi happy.{{book ref|sa3|71}}
 
Dalinar and his men approached the cavern where the Sadeas men were working, but realized that it made no sense for traitors to be wearing their own colors. He recognized that it was a trap just as it sprung. Tanalan had lied to him. The Rathalas rebels triggered a landslide that killed the Kholin men accompanying him, but though seriously wounded, Dalinar survived.
 
Despite his injuries, Dalinar’sDalinar's rage drove him forward in revenge against Tanalan’sTanalan's betrayal, the [[Thrill]] burning in him like never before. He slaughtered the rebels who ambushed him, unconscious of how savagely he’she's killed them. Half dead, he dragged himself back to the Kholin camp in such a state of rage that his appearance provoked fearspren from Evi when she first saw him again. Though she maintained that they should take a few days to find a peaceful solution, Sadeas said what Dalinar felt: the Rift needs to pay. Dalinar had the soulcasters put to use making oil and sent Evi away. He promised to destroy Rathalas so thoroughly that nobody will rebuild there for ten generations, to make it a pyre, that nobody will cry over the city because everyone in it will be dead.{{book ref|sa3|75}}
 
The Thrill didn’t let Dalinar sleep until the assault on the city of Rathalas. An from the city came out with a flag of truce, but Dalinar ordered them shot dead before they can approach the camp. Dalinar ordered the attack to take place at night. With the oil that he had ordered soulcasted, Dalinar, Sadeas, and their combined forces began to burn Rathalas. Only when much of the Rift is up in flames did Dalinar order his forces in. All the while Dalinar made a genuine attempt to hold the Thrill at bay, knowing that enjoying this act of revenge would take away the last sliver of decency he had left.
