'''Kaladin''' (<small>
Tien died in battle shortly after. Extremely depressed by this, Kaladin obsessively threw himself to his spear fighting practices. He was soon renowned as the best spearman in the army. In his final battle in Amaram's army in 1172, Kaladin killed a [[Shardbearer]]. Amaram wanted the Shards for himself, so he had Kaladin branded as a slave. He was eventually sold to [[Sadeas]]'s army where he was assigned to [[Bridge Four]] to work as a [[bridgeman]]. He was convinced by the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]] to try to protect the bridgemen. He convinced the Bridge Four to escape because he realized that the purpose of the bridgemen was to be bait to the [[Parshendi]] arrows, and trained them as spearmen. In the [[Battle of the Tower]], when they had the chance to easily escape, he and Bridge Four saved the lives of [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his men. In return for their sacrifice, Dalinar freed all the bridgemen from slavery and offered them a job as soldiers in his army, to be trained and led by Kaladin.

===== Surgery on Sani =====
In 1164, at age ten, Kaladin helped his father perform a surgery on a fifteen-year-old girl named [[Sani]], who had badly injured her [[safehand]]. He was late to the surgery because he was with [[Jam]], who had been showing Kaladin and Tien the quarterstaff fighting his father had been teaching him. Lirin admonished Kaladin for his tardiness when his son came to the surgery room, but said they would discuss it after the surgery. Lirin told him to wash his hands, claiming it was the wisdom of the [[Herald]]s that water repulsed [[rotspren]] and [[deathspren]]. Although Kaladin immediately went to wash his hands, he answered his father by saying that he'd heard that the Heralds were demons from an [[ardent]]. Lirin told him he was mixing Heralds with the Knights Radiant, and Radiants weren't demons, but betrayers. Once that done, the two removed the makeshift bandages on Sani's hand, and Kaladin saw they would have to amputate the girl's third finger. Lirin did the actual amputating, while Kaladin helped him as a nurse. They finished the surgery, able to save Sani's other four fingers, applied antiseptic and bandages. When they were finished, his father told Kaladin he still had to work on his nerves, and it was alright to care, as long as it didn't interfere with his ability to perform surgery. He asked why Kaladin was late, and Kaladin told him about Jam. The conversation shifted to Jam's father and then surgery, with Kaladin trying, poorly, to impress they needed soldiers, and Lirin claiming they needed surgeons more. Eventually his father told Kaladin there were two kinds of people in the world; those who saved lives, and those who took lives. After the conversation died down, Lirin quizzed Kaladin on surgery. He praised him when Kaladin answered perfectly and announced he would like to send him to Kharbranth when he turned sixteen years old to train as a much better surgeon than Lirin.{{ref|b|sa1|c|10}}
==== Wistiow's Death ====

In mid-1166, Kaladin told Laral
==== Roshone's Arrival ====
Two months, in which he had barely seen Laral, after Wistiow's death, Kaladin attempted to heal a five year old girl named [[Miasal]] on his own.
Towards the end of 1166, Kaladin overheard Nanha [[Terith]] and Nanha [[Relina]] talking about his family. Their superstition about not seeing angered him and claims that Lirin stole from Wistiow angered him, so he made sure he was seen by the two women and gave them a sharp look as he passed by them. He reached home to find his mother, Hesina, cleaning the [[crem]] left in their house's roof. He complained that everyone hated Lirin, but Hesina answered they didn't hate him; he just made them uncomfortable because of their own ignorance. As Kaladin climbed up to help his mother, their conversation led to Kaladin's own future, and he realized the reason his parents had encouraged him to spend time with Laral was so the two would marry. While Kaladin was deep in thought mulling over his mother's words, Lirin arrived to say that the new citylord had arrived. The trio made their way town square and were joined by Tien. Roshone arrived with a retinue that impressed the young Kaladin, but the Brightlord himself said nothing except for a few contemptuous words as the procession continued towards the citylord mansion.{{ref|b|sa1|c|25}}
==== Conflict with Roshone ====
Four months after the townspeople stopped their donations, Roshone invited Lirin to the mansion for dinner
==== Joining the Army ====
Some time later, Roshone and Rillir were brought to Lirin's surgery room with serious injuries that they had sustained while hunting [[whitespine]]. Kaladin pushed past the screaming Laral and
In the [[Weeping]] of 1168, Brightlord Meridas Amaram visited Hearthstone with his army. As he lay on the roof of his house, Kaladin was feeling depressed and thinking dark thoughts, when Tien joined him. As he always did, he managed to cheer Kaladin a little with his
=== Amaram's Army ===

==== Tien's Death ====
Despite Amaram's promise to Lirin, because recruitment was slower than desired, the older messenger boys, including Tien, were soon organized into several squads of reserve units. According to [[Dalar]], these squads would not see combat unless the army was in serious danger. Less than four months after his enlistment, Kaladin took part in his third real battle. The enemy force tried to take over a hilltop Amaram's army was trying to hold onto. As the battle went worse for the Amaram's side, messenger boys were assigned to Brightlord [[Sheler]]'s company. Kaladin ran recklessly through the battlefield to reach his brother as the lines of Amaram's army buckled. On the southeast side of the hill, he saw Tien and two other boys placed in front of the enemy army as bait by Squadleader [[Varth]]. While running towards his younger brother, he killed a man for the first time, although he didn't get much chance to reflect on it in the battle chaos. The enemy soldiers took Varth's bait and killed the three boy, while Kaladin could do nothing but watch. Weeping and bleeding from wounds taken during his run, he hugged Tien's dead body until long past the end of the battle.{{ref|b|sa1|c|67}}
==== Stormblessed ====
==== Fighting the Shardbearer ====
On the month of Ishi of the year 1172, Kaladin fought his final battle in Amaram's army.
Once the signal to march was given, Kaladin's squad ran ahead of the rest of Amaram's army, thereby avoiding the volleys of arrows the enemy sent their way. They engaged the first enemy squad, and their discipline saw to that the enemy would retreat without Kaladin's squad taking no casualties. For the better part of an hour, they held the small hill they'd chosen as their battlefield, only engaging squads that got close to their position. The larger battle, however, didn't nearly go as well, and after the larger body of Amaram's force broke, Kaladin's squad retreated eastward, towards a larger group of soldiers that were still holding. Before they were halfway across the field however, a large group of enemy soldiers intercepted them. The two sides met in a crash, and in the chaos Cenn got too close to enemy soldiers. Kaladin rushed to the young boy's help, defeating six enemy spearmen, and saw to his wounds.{{ref|b|sa1|c|1}} Nearby an enemy battalionlord was trying to rally his soldiers to mount a counterattack. After seeing to his men, Kaladin decided to attack the enemy officer in the hopes killing a so high ranked officer would be enough to get them to the Shattered Plains. Kaladin and two of his subsquads executed their plan flawlessly, and Kaladin himself struck the killing blow on the enemy battalionlord, while the other two subsquads held back with the wounded.

Kaladin was called to the warcenter a few hours later. He sat in one of the smaller chamber mulling over the events of the day, while he waited for Amaram to come out of the conference he was holding with his counselors to discover the identity of the Shardbearer. Kaladin rose as Amaram entered the chamber along with his stormwarden,
=== Slavery ===
Kaladin spent the next eight months under five different slavemasters in harsh conditions of constant beatings and deprivation. He always demanded his wages be given to him as was required by the law, but the slavemasters always managed to cheat him out of it by charging for housing or food. He managed to keep his defiance and made ten escape attempts, even managing to get away a few times, but he was always captured and taken back. Around his sixth month of slavery, he noticed [[Sylphrena|a windspren]] following him around. He spent time with a [[Selay]] man<!-- named Goshel --> who told him about about the [[Old Magic]] and its ability to curse people under his fifth slavemaster. In his last escape attempt, he led a group of twenty armed slaves, but all of them except Kaladin died. According to Kaladin, he should have been killed for that, but finding him "intriguing," his
Tvlakv brought Kaladin to the [[Shattered Plains]] and sold him to [[Sadeas]]'s warcamp. Kaladin tried to convince the lighteyed woman, Brightness [[Hashal]], who was responsible for the acquisitions of slaves to make him a spearman but was sent to the [[Bridge Four]] to work as a [[bridgeman]] in {{date|1173|EoS}}.{{ref|b|twok|c|6}}
