Dalinar was born in about {{Rosharan date/sa|year=1120}}{{wob ref|5569|text=General Reddit 2017|date=2017-9-21}}, second son to the Kholin princedom in Alethkar. In his youth, Dalinar deeply respected his elder brother [[Gavilar Kholin|Gavilar]], and although envious of him at times{{book ref|sa1|18}}, he follows his brother into a war to unite Alethkar under the Kholin banner.
 
In his youth, Dalinar had feelings for [[Navani]], but he realized that Gavilar was also interested in her. For Gavilar’s sake, he steps aside. Later, Navani admitted to having an interest in Dalinar during this time, but since Gavilar was the one who chased her, she chose to accept his proposal.

==== Gavilar's Change and the Discovery of the Parshendi ====
In the years after the reunification of Alethkar, Gavilar begins to lose his thirst for battle. He starts reading a book called [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']], trying to convince Dalinar and his other highprinces to be peaceful and to follow the [[Alethi Codes of War]]. {{book ref|sa1|18}} Like the other highprinces, Dalinar resists his brother's ideas, finding them unpalatable and strange – even un-Alethi. To try and change Gavilar's mind, Dalinar convinces him to go an expedition, a hunt for a chasmfiend. He suggests this hoping to remind Gavilar of the good times in their youth, to reawaken his brother's fighting spirit.{{book ref|sa1|28}}
 
In {{Rosharan date/sa|year=1166}}, Dalinar and Gavilar set out on their expedition. In an unmapped forest south of the [[Shattered Plains]], Dalinar meets a [[Parshendi]] patrol. At first disbelieving what he thought were simple [[parshmen]] acting individually, in a civilized society, Dalinar quickly accepts that the Parshendi were intelligent and organized, unlike their parshmen cousins. Dalinar brings Gavilar to meet them, and within days the Alethi and Parshendi are communicating well.{{book ref|sa1|28}} A year later, the Parshendi sign a formal treaty with Alethkar in the Alethi capitol of [[Kholinar]].
 
=== War of Reckoning (1167 – 1173) ===
The battle against the Parshendi was the first time Dalinar lost the [[Thrill]].{{book ref|sa1|26}} This loss of the Thrill during battle causes Dalinar to question why he is fighting this war, and whether alternative methods of settling the Alethi dispute with the Parshendi would yield better results. The highprinces would view Dalinar's wish for a more peaceful resolution as a further sign of weakness rather than wisdom, so he keeps this to himself.
 
Dalinar is deeply frustrated by the war at the Shattered Plains, as the highprinces' priorities have changed from seeking vengeance on the Parshendi to competing for [[gemheart|gemhearts]] in order to gain wealth for themselves. Dalinar believes the war on the Parshendi has become nothing but a game to the highprinces and strives to unite them. He wants to be the [[Highprince of War]] to realize this.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Despite his ambivalent feelings about staying at the Shattered Plains, Dalinar is devoted to Elhokar and the nation of Alethkar above all. Though Dalinar rarely goes on hunts, in {{Rosharan date/sa|year=1173}} he decides to accompany Elhokar and Sadeas. Elhokar manages to tease Dalinar into a footrace, and for his nephew's sake, Dalinar lets him win.
 
Adolin wonders at this, and Dalinar explains that it is important to lift up Elhokar and support him in even the small ways. Even the little victories will help Elhokar feel more like a king and raising his confidence and reputation would actually make him a better king. Adolin is impressed at this logic, but is quickly appalled when Dalinar then confides his wish for the Alethi to be back in Alethkar. Adolin is shocked and upset at this suggestion, even when Dalinar shares his concern about the state of affairs back in their home since they've been away at war for so long. Adolin was already worried about his father's sanity,{{book ref|sa1|24}} but when Dalinar begins to make important decisions based on the visions – like wanting to leave the Shattered Plains – Adolin questions the wisdom in trusting dreams, especially blasphemous ones. Dalinar maintains that the visions were real and grows further determined to unite the Alethi highprinces.
