After all ten [[princedom]]s of Alethkar had been conquered, Kadash was part of the army's new campaign to secure the northern lands of Alethkar. They defeated the [[Herdaz]]ians and claimed the [[Reshi]] isle of [[Akak]], which took four years, then proceeded to engage the [[Veden]]s further southwards.{{book ref|sa3|52}} This eventually led to the battle at [[Rathalas]]. Once the walls of the city had been captured, Dalinar ordered Kadash and fifty of his elites to enter the city and soak the lower parts of the Rift with oil before igniting the entire city with burning arrows. While the elites held down [[Tanalan]], the commander of the enemy forces, Kadash himself was just standing at the side of the city, looking down at the destruction.{{book ref|sa3|76}} He was traumatized by the experience and left the army the next day.{{book ref|sa3|4}}

After many years in the military, Kadash changed his Calling, ending his career as a soldier and joining the ardentia.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Kadash also rose high within the ranks of the ardents, becoming the overseer of the [[Soulcaster]]s{{book ref|sa2|35}} as one of the ardents owned by [[Highprince]] Dalinar Kholin and his family.{{book ref|sa1|18}} He served Dalinar loyally for many years and trained and tutored his son [[Adolin]] during his childhood. After [[Szeth|Szeth-son-son-Vallano's]] assassination of King Gavilar Kholin, Kadash spoke to some of Gavilar's surviving guards, but he believed their mentions of Szeth's [[Surgebinding]] to be the result of shock and trauma.{{book ref|sa2|35}}

Kadash accompanied Dalinar Kholin and his armies to the [[Shattered Plains]] to provide religious instruction while the [[War of Reckoning]] was fought.
Later that year, Kadash proposed to Dalinar that they could [[Soulcast]] large blocks of stone for windbreaks on the eastern side of Dalinar's camp to allow it to expand onto the Shattered Plains.

After the [[Battle of Narak]], Kadash moved to Urithiru. He came into conflict with Dalinar, however,

When Dalinar visited a training room for soldiers and had a wrestling match with [[Aratin Khal]], Kadash went there to check up on Dalinar but got challenged to a duel instead. Kadash declined at first, but accepted the challenge of his Highprince and former comrade-in-arms anyway. Even in a solo duel, Kadash still had the instincts of a soldier, keeping watch on his sides. While they were sparring, Dalinar simultaneously held a [[spanreed]] meeting with the [[Iri]]ali queen and a conversation about his beliefs with Kadash. Kadash demanded that Dalinar recant his blasphemy regarding his position on the church, but Dalinar refused to shy away from what he saw as the truth. Kadash eventually lost the match to an invalid dueling strike.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
Later, Kadash joined King [[Elhokar Kholin]], Dalinar, and Navani on a trip to the Alethi warcamps. They traveled to Shattered Plains via the [[Oathgate]], then were flown to the warcamps by [[Kaladin]] and his [[Windrunners]]. Once they arrived, Kadash visited his office in the camp monastery where he had kept most of his books and spanreeds in a wall safe, as he hadn't had time to pack his belongings when the warcamps were left in haste for Urithiru ten weeks prior. These five spanreeds were linked to the leaders of Vorinism in [[Jah Keved]], [[Herdaz]], [[Kharbranth]], [[Thaylenah]] and [[New Natanan]], and all had been trying to contact Kadash with questions related to the [[Desolation]], yet he did not answer them until scholars from the [[Palanaeum]] had finished sending him passages recently translated from the [[Dawnchant]]. When he admitted this to Dalinar, Dalinar realized that Kadash knew he wasn't mad. Kadash helped Dalinar to find the room in which [[Taln]] had been kept, though he didn't accompany him.{{book ref|sa3|50}}
One of Kadash's projects in Urithiru was an attempt to farm on the tower's garden balconies. The plants would not grow, however, either because of the cold or the fact that few storms reached high enough. He was working on this project one day when Dalinar, whose memories had finally returned, came to apologize to him and talk about his actions at Rathalas. Kadash convinced him that it was the wrong move to give his ardents over to [[Taravangian]] and pleaded that Dalinar would just release a statement that would allow the Vorin church to move on.{{book ref|sa3|107}}
▲Kadash is humble as well.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Despite his high rank, he defers to lighteyes, regardless of their age and authority. Kadash believes that it is the duty of Dalinar and the other lighteyes to watch the ardents and ensure they do not rise above their station as they did during the Hierocracy. Kadash is very loyal to Dalinar, as well as the rest of his family. He has sworn oaths to serve Dalinar and has known the man for many years. For these reasons, Kadash is both unwilling and unable to speak ill of Dalinar due to his oaths, even when confronted with the possibility that Dalinar has lost his mind. Kadash is also concerned with the spiritual well-being of his congregation, particularly Adolin.
During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Kadash found himself in [[Thaylen City]]. He was with other scribes and ardents in a building near the city's Oathgate and operated a spanreed to [[Sebarial]]'s scribes back in Urithiru. Kadash relayed news of the attack in Urithiru and confirmed that the forces there were unlikely to be able to break through and use the Oathgate to come reinforce the troops in Thaylen City.{{book ref|sa3|120}}

Kadash and Dalinar have known each other for years. They are comrades-in-arms during Dalinar's conquests to unite Alethkar, as Kadash is one of the highest ranking officers among Dalinar's elites, but they aren't particularly close at the time.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Kadash is a hardened soldier, but even after all he has been through he is horrified by the destruction of Rathalas ordered by his Highprince. He leaves the army and becomes an ardent the next day, though he remains loyal to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|4}}
Years later, Dalinar starts having [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] from the [[Stormfather]] in which it is revealed to him that the [[Almighty]] is dead. Kadash is skeptical because [[Vorinism]] considers those claims to be heresy, but out of respect for Dalinar, the ardent doesn't discard the possibility right away and makes an effort to gather all the facts.{{book ref|sa3|50}} He still considers Dalinar his friend but is pained that by the things that he says. He consents to attend Dalinar and Navani's wedding even though he disapproves.{{book ref|sa3|4}} Kadash and Dalinar argue every time they see each other, Dalinar trying to get Kadash to see the truth that he sees and Kadash trying to get Dalinar to let things be so that the Vorin church and Dalinar's ardents can move on.{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} However, Dalinar sees Kadash's innate honesty and feels that he will eventually get through to him.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
▲Even though many years have passed since Kadash left the military, he is still haunted by the memories of his time spent fighting and all the death and destruction he saw.{{book ref|sa1|18}} He is also an observant man, he keeps his eyes and ears open to the events around the warcamps.
