After Kaladin and Shallan returned from Thaylen City, having unlocked the Oathgate, Dalinar had Malata transport him, Navani, and Taravangian through the portal to meet with Fen. When he arrived he was struck by how much damage the Everstorm had done to the city. When he met Fen she offered to give him a tour of the city.{{book ref|sa3|58}} After being led through six temples Dalinar told Navani that this was boring him and she explained why Fen was bringing them to the temples and Dalinar realized that as a leader he also had to be a diplomat. When they arrived at the temple of [[Battah]] Fen, after a hesitation, let them inside to see the field hospital that had been set up there to care for the people who had been injured by the Everstorm and the escaping parshmen. Taravangian asked Fen if he could bring his surgeons to her city and she accepted his offer. Dalinar tried to offer her troops to help rebuild but Fen would not respond. Dalinar realized that Fen was not an absolute authority in Thaylenah and as long as the merchants of the city suspected Dalinar of trying to conquer the city she could not allow him to bring any soldiers into the city.{{book ref|sa3|59}}

|I don’t want your life, son, I don’t want your city or your kingdom. If I’d ''wanted'' to conquer Thaylenah, I wouldn’t offer you a smiling face and promises of peace. You should know that much from my reputation.

Fen excused herself saying that she had to meet with her council. While Dalinar waited he decided to provoke a fight to show that he did not intend to conquer the city. He started asking [[Kdralk]] questions about the city's defenses triggering the lad's ire. Dalinar asked him to fight him in a duel with longswords and alternating advantage with Kdralk going first. Dalinar dodged the boy's sword for the duration of the fight until he allowed him to strike him in the chest. Dalinar pulled out the sword and let his Stormlight heal him. The boy told Dalinar that it was his turn to take the sword but Dalinar declined to fight him saying that he had already been bloodied. He told Kdralk that if he had been trying to conquer his city he would not be walking around exchanging pleasantries, he would bring an army. To Dalinar's surprise he suddenly felt a rush of shame. He realized that this bullying method of getting his way was the way of the Blackthorn not the Bondsmith. He walked away to be alone with his thoughts leaving behind an awed crowd. As he was walking he heard a voice in his head, the same one he heard in his visions that always told him "''Unite Them''". He oon realized that this was different, he was hearing hundreds of voices speaking to him together. He realized that he was hearing the spren of the shattered temple and its desire to be whole again. He started gathering the stones of the temple and using his surgebinding to fuse them back together.
