====The Duel====
Before the duel Adolin goes through his rituals, burning the prayer Shallan wrote for him and praying himself. Navani expresses her worry, particularly over the terms that the duel shall end with surrender rather than breaking the shardplate. When Renarin does his check that Adolin has followed his routine they discover that Adolin’s mother’s chain is missing, which momentarily throws Adolin off balance though he starts to recover as they put on his plate. When his opponents enter the ring there are four of them rather than the two that Adolin had assumed. Instead of forfeiting Adolin signals for the duel to commence. He recognizes the three shardbearers Relis brought with him: Elit, [[Abrobadar]] and Jakamav. {{book ref|wor|56}}
Adolin attacks, trying to minimize any attempt they have to assess and respond. He does alright for a while but eventually becomes overwhelmed. When he attempts to yield the shardbearers stop him and Highjudge Istow doesn’t, or chooses not to, hear him. Adolin realizes that if he leaves the duel alive he’d be doing so as a cripple. Renarin joins the duel with just his shardblade and Adolin tries to convince him to leave but Renarin refuses. Relis tells him that so long as Adolin does not surrender or make his cousin end the duel Abrobadar will not hurt Renarin but if Adolin does attempt any of those things Renarin will die. {{book ref|wor|56}}
