The Kholins started by conquering their neighbors by force. From the beginning, Dalinar is an unstoppable terror on the battlefield. In some part due to his close connection with the [[Thrill]] and Dalinar’s own callous bloodlust, he quickly created a reputation for being able to win any engagement. Dalinar by himself could clear a battlefield of opponents, losing himself in the ease of killing.
In the early days of the unification war, Dalinar hand-picked his own elite force of soldiers, sometimes even selecting enemy combatants and winning them over. One notable encounter of this was when fighting Brightlord Yezriar, an enemy soldier shot Dalinar with massive black arrows. The wounds were very serious, but Dalinar was so impressed at the distance the archer shot from that he chased him down. This archer was [[Teleb]], and Dalinar recruited him on the spot. Those black arrows with which Teleb shot Dalinar mark the incident that gave Dalinar his famous moniker of The Blackthorn.{{book ref|sa3|
Over the next year, Dalinar won his own Shards. His Plate he won in combat that involved kicking a man off of a cliff. The Plate was still new to him when the war took them to [[Rathalas]], otherwise known as the Rift, where Brightlord Tanalan rules. Dalinar knew that Tanalan had a Shardblade, and in the ensuing battle, he went straight to Tanalan to kill him and win the Blade. He defeated Tanalan but Tanalan’s body was taken away by his men before the Shard appears. Dalinar tracked down the place where Tanalan was taken and found Tanalan’s widow, and Tanalan’s young son holding the Shardblade. Dalinar takes the Blade but can’t find it within himself to kill Tanalan’s family. After the battle, Gavilar tells Dalinar that the Blade he won is [[Oathbringer_(Shardblade)|Oathbringer]], the sword that belonged to the legendary Alethi conqueror, [[Sadees]] the Sunmaker.{{book ref|sa3|11}}
A year later, the war had started to slow down and the Kholins were looking for allies. They turned to [[Rira]] and [[Iri]]. They negotiated with [[Toh]] and [[Evi]], a Westerner Brightlord and his sister. During one of their initial meetings, Dalinar impressed them by walking about in a highstorm and stopping an assassin from killing Gavilar in a notably casual manner.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
