After the massive casualties at the [[Battle of the Tower]], Kaladin was tasked with turning the remaining bridgemen into a standing army. He promoted [[Teft]], [[Moash]], [[Skar]], [[Rock]] and [[Sigzil]] to lieutenants, a rank between a captain and sergeant, to form a command structure for a thousand men. HeMore specifically, Kaladin named Rock to quartermaster, with [[Lopen]] as his second, and appointed Sigzil to be their clerk as he was the only one who could read glyphs. He put Teft in charge of training, suggesting that he combine the foodremaining bridgemen into twenty crews and train two members in each to go back and train the others. HeKaladin appointedpromised a few men to assist Teft, but explained that would have to do as most of [[SigzilBridge Four]], including Moash and Skar, would be needed to keep Dalinar alive.

With word spreading that the emperor of [[Azir]] was dead at the onlyhands oneof whothe could[[Assassin readin glyphsWhite]], Kaladin reminded Teft that the assassin had already killed [[Gavilar]] and they just had to hope he was done. Regardless, they had to protect Dalinar at all costs.{{book ref|sa2|2}}

Once in agreement, they rounded up the rest of the men in [[Bridge Four]] and they went to get their slave brands covered with a tattootattoos. [[Hobber]] sat down first, with each man following, receiving tattoos that said “Freedom, Bridge Four.” Sitting down last, Kaladin closed his eyes and waited for the tattooist to finish. She cursed, revealing that the tattoo ink wouldn’t take. Kaladin sighed, realizing he hadwas unconsciously holding [[Stormlight]] in his veins, not even realizing it. He banished the Stormlight and she tried again, the ink taking this time. He looked in the mirror, seeing his slave brands covered up for a moment. [[Syl]] landed on his shoulder and he unconsciously sucked in Stormlight, which melted the tattoo. The tattooist cursed again and picked up her rag, preparing to try again. HeHowever, Kaladin insisted that it was fine and tossed a small bag of spheres to the tattooist.{{book ref|sa2|2}}

WhenUpon they[[Bridge Four]]’s returnedreturn to the barracks, [[Rind]] was waiting for them with thetheir new [[Cobalt Guard]] uniforms. TheWhile the men eagerly tried on thetheir uniforms, with [[Moash]] going first. Pleased, the others eagerly put theirs on. [[Teft]] hesitated, stating that he wasn’t sureunsure if he deserved to wear something like this again. Kaladin objected, saying the uniform was what he was and not to let the slave rule him. Teft countered, asking Kaladin when he was going to admit that he was doing the same thing. Teft toldtried to convince him that he needed to show [[Dalinar]] that he was a [[Surgebinder]] and a [[lighteyes]]. However, Kaladin confessed that everythinghe hashad beeneverything taken away from him by the lighteyes and he can’t help feel panic when he thinks about sharing this with them.

Kaladin set up rotations to protect [[Dalinar]], always assigning himself, [[Moash]], or [[Skar]] for the Blackthorn. After a small council, Dalinar wished for Kaladin and his best men to take on more duties extending to protecting [[Navani]], his sons and eventually King [[Elhokar]] himself. Dalinar confessed that there may have already been an attempt on the king’s life when the gemstones on his [[Shardplate]] seemed to be sabotaged. Unsure of who to trust, Dalinar asked Kaladin to familiarize himself with how the King’s Guard works and to learn from them. Once their training was complete, Kaladin would be in charge of a new group guarding the king consisting of some of the old King’s Guard and Kaladin’s own men. Kaladin worried that his men were stretched thin, but Dalinar said he was not alone in that problem.{{book ref|sa2|4}}{{book ref|sa2|5}}

During a trip to the chasms, Kaladin asked [[Syl]] what she thought about Dalinar’s plan to reform the [[Knights Radiant]]. She exclaimed that itnot only was it a wonderful idea, thatbut she was jealous that he thought of it first. He then asked her if a spren could be writing the glyphs on the wall. SheWhile she didn’t know, but sheSyl admitted that she had seen a spren like red lightning, a dangerous spren. Kaladin asked Syl if there were more like him. SheThough had beenshe expected the question, but she didn’t answer ithim immediatelyat first. She eventually told him that there arewere others like him as spren, those she didn’t know, tried to reclaim what was lost. Syl goes on to say that Kaladin has to become what Dalinar is looking for and not to make him search in vain.{{book ref|sa2|9}}

While in the chasms, [[Sigzil]] conducted some baseline tests of Kaladin’s [[Surgebinding]] abilities with [[Rock]] and [[Lopen]]’s assistance. They had to rely on counting as Sigzil didn’t have a proper clock to time Kaladin, nor did he even know how to measure [[Stormlight]]. Kaladin suggested that they use chips since they were weighed before being encased in glass. However, Sigzil worried that he was still wasting Kaladin’s time as there was toostill so much about [[Stormlight]] that they didn’t know. [[Lopen]] saidreassured him that it wasn’t a waste and asked if Kaladin could stick him to the wall. Able to do so, [[Rock]] commented that this skill could be very useful in battle since Kaladin is a soldier at heart. They continued to experiment further with his new abilities, the others taking up spears to test Kaladinhim. Just like with his spear, Kaladin knew that these new abilities would take lots of practice. This meant that Kaladin would have to find a new person like himself to spar with. Calling it a day, the men returned to the warcamp and to the news that a hero had come to the [[Shattered Plains]]. Kaladin’s heart became ice when he heard the hero was none other than Highlord [[Amaram]], the man who stole Kaladin’s [[Shardblade]] and branded him a slave.{{book ref|sa2|12}}
