During a highstorm, Kaladin and two squires flew the team including Shallan, Adolin and Elhokar towards Kholinar. When they approached the city, Kaladin scouted ahead. He reported the Parshendi were still besieging the city. Elhokar immediately wanted to get down and go into the city. Kaladin countered that something seemed wrong with the palace, and advised caution, which Adolin seconded. Elhokar gave in and they landed close to the city.{{book ref|sa3|60}}

The next morning, Shallan gave them all illusions and disguised Elhokar as a lighteyed woman, to which he didn't object. Together they looked like refugees trying to enter the city. Before the reached the city, Elhokar spoke to Kaladin about the stakes of the mission. He expected to fail, and commanded Kaladin to succeed where he failed and save the city. When they found the city gates to be blocked by soldiers, Elhokar took the lead and demanded entrance. The guards refused unless his soldiers would join the Wall Guard. Elhokar asked after their commander (a Highmarshal Azure he had never heard of), and who commands him (no one). Elhokar could not understand it, but refused and said he needed his guards. Everyone was distracted when the Fused assaulted the wall, and the group used the confusion to sneak into the city. Adolin then led them to his tailor.{{book ref|sa3|61}}▼

Elhokar, Adolin and Kaladin interrogated [[Yokska]] the tailor, to find out about the current state of the city. She found it hard to tell the story without saying something bad about queen Aesudan, but Elhokar reassured her that their would be no reprisal. She then told about the riots, how the queen vanished from public eye and had the guards retreat. Elhokar found it all hard to take in and resisted putting any blame on his wife, suggesting it was all the fault of the dark spren around the palace. When Yokska recalls the proclamation ordering the death of all the Parshmen, Elhokar found it reassuring that the message about the danger of the Parshmen had come through. A group of nobles went to the palace to protest, never to be seen again. Eventually the wallguard restored order and exiled the Parsh. In the end the city was now lawless. After dismissing the tailor, the group formed a plan. Elhokar concluded the voidbringers were cutting of the city for a siege. He wanted to be cautions while still take action. He suggested to have Shallan pretend to be a messenger from the plains with a letter from him for the queen to investigate the palace. When Kaladin complained about the rest of them needing to wait, Elhokar told him "Waiting and trusting those whom you have empowered is the soul of kingship, Windrunner."{{book ref|sa3|62}}
