Men began to speak of Dalinar the same way they'd spoken of Gavilar, namely that he was becoming weak and feeble. Despite Dalinar's history as a powerful general, the battle against the Parshendi marks the first time that Dalinar lost the [[Thrill]].{{ref|b|twok|c|26}} This loss of the Thrill during battle caused Dalinar to question why he was fighting this war and whether alternative methods of settling the Alethi dispute with the Parshendi would yield better results. The highprinces viewed Dalinar's wish for a more peaceful resolution as a sign of weakness rather than wisdom. When Dalinar explained to the king that he is not afraid of battle, but would prefer to approach it in a different manner, Elhokar listened to him for the first time, and Dalinar finally felt that he was making progress.

Dalinar's adoption of the Codes caused the other highprinces to deride and underestimate him, as he no longer possessed the thirst for battle that had made him one of the most feared generals in Alethkar. Despite heroic acts such as saving Elhokar's life from a [[chasmfiend]],{{ref|b|twok|c|14}} Dalinar had lost most of his influence over the conquered highprinces, as rumors of his fits during highstorms circulated.

 

Dalinar was charged by his nephew King Elhokar to investigate a suspected assassination attempt on the king's life.{{ref|b|twok|c|15}} This involved the girth strap on his saddle being cut so that he would fall from his horse in battle, and weakened gemstones being placed in Elhokar's Shardplate so that the armor would easily crack and break. Dalinar failed to uncover anything of use and thought that Elhokar was becoming unhealthily paranoid, Elhokar named Highprince [[Sadeas]] the [[Highprince of Information]], and requested him to investigate instead.{{ref|b|twok|c|22}} This accelerated Dalinar's loss of power and suspicion is cast upon him for the assassination attempt. Sadeas, who was a good friend to Dalinar and Gavilar during the reunification of Alethkar, confuted this and defended Dalinar and his loyalty to Elhokar.{{ref|b|twok|c|54}}

 

 

One by one, the highprinces rejected Dalinar's pleas that they join forces.{{ref|b|twok|c|28}} His plans to try and change Alethkar met with dead ends. The realization that even those close to him thought that he has lost his wits resulted in Dalinar going through a period of self-doubt, and he considered abdicating his position as highprince to [[Adolin]] to save House Kholin from being destroyed by his foolish decisions.{{ref|b|twok|c|28}} At the suggestion of his son [[Renarin]], Dalinar enlisted his sister-in-law and scholar [[Navani]] to investigate whether the dreams were real or a result of an addled mind.{{ref|b|twok|c|52}} Navani concluded that the gibberish that Dalinar spoke during the fits was actually [[Dawnchant]], a now-dead language that Dalinar couldn’t have learned, therefore giving proof that his visions were real.{{ref|b|twok|c|60}} Dalinar’s resolve to unite Alethkar strengthened.
