== History ==
The origins of the King's Boon are uncertain. Much like the [[Right of Challenge]], the King's Boon was a tradition that, while well-known to the Alethi lighteyes, fell to the wayside in the centuries leading up to the [[War of Reckoning]]. It was revived by king [[Gavilar Kholin]] when he sought to rid himself of a rebellious [[highprince]], [[Yenev]]. To assist Gavilar, [[Torol Sadeas]]
In the weeks preceding the [[Battle of Narak]], [[House Kholin]] sought to entrap Sadeas in a similar way. Following his victory in a four-on-one duel, [[Adolin Kholin]] was granted a boon by king [[Elhokar]], and used it to to demand the Right of Challenge from Sadeas. However, at the same time [[Kaladin]] also demanded a boon for participating in the duel and coming to Adolin's rescue. When it turned out that Kaladin wanted to challenge [[Amaram]], he was arrested for slander since he was a darkeyes, and Sadeas managed to weasel out of his own duel in the ensuing chaos.{{book ref|sa2|57}}{{book ref|sa2|58}}
