==== A Change of Heart ====
The Kholin Army's next plateau assault iswas run jointly with Sadeas. Dalinar went ahead and was nearly overwhelmed as he tried to save Sadeas from overwhelming numbers but Adolin and the rest of the army arrived just in time to save them. Adolin told Dalinar that he had given him quite a fright as he had had to punch through the entire Parshendi army to get to them. Dalinar explained to Adolin that he made the decision knowing that if anything had happened to him his son could handle the army.{{book ref|sa1|56}}

|Maybe the Codes weren't just about protecting against the Parshendi. Maybe they were about something more—about giving the men commanders they could respect and rely on. About treating war with the gravity it deserved. Maybe it was about not turning a war zone into a festival. The common men had to remain on watch, vigilant. Therefore, Adolin and Dalinar did the same.
A week after the plateau assault, Adolin went to a wineshop in the [[Outer Market]] with Danlan, [[Jakamav]], [[Inkima]], [[Toral]] and [[Eshava]]. Adolin complained about how he hated being proven wrong and wondered why Sadeas, who was in a position of strength, never used it to take out House Kholin. The group discussed Sadeas's motives, and the Kholin reputation, which made Adolin uncomfortable. After Danlan suggested it, Adolin told he had tried and failed to get his father to relax the restrictions on the camp from the Codes on the camp. He then excused himself as he had a duel to prepare for against Resi, who had been vocally insulting his father.{{book ref|sa1|58}}
 
As he moved through the Outer Market to the dueling grounds, he noticed the differences between the Kholin officers and those of other highprinces. Adolin found himself annoyed with the others, and was asking internally if they knew there was a war going on. It is at this point thatHe hethen had a revelation.{{clarify}}
 
After his victory in the duel with Resi{{book ref|sa1|58}}, Adolin went to his father and told him that he understood why they followed the Codes now and that he absolutely must not abdicate. Dalinar, amused, told Adolin that he has convinced him. and thisThis shocked Adolin, who is rarely winningwins arguments with his father. Dalinar continued that he would draft an order that gave Adolin the right to depose him if he grows mentally unstable. Adolin said he is alright with this so long as they do not tell Sadeas. Dalinar asked Adolin to at least try to believe Sadeas can change, even if he doesn't trust him. Adolin still believed Sadeas was manipulating his father. Dalinar also asked Adolin to make sure that it is only King's Guard soldiers loyal to him that are guarding Elhokar's rooms as he believed there iswas something fishy going on. They entered Dalinar's chambers for the highstorm, where Navani and Renarin are waiting. After the highstorm, Adolin and the rest of the Kholin'sKholins discovered that Dalinar's has been speaking the [[Dawnchant]] during his episodes, which meanedmeant the visions are absolutely not delusions.{{book ref|sa1|60}}
 
==== The Battle of the Tower ====
{{for|Battle of the Tower}}
As they prepared to assault the Tower some days later, Adolin effected thatreflected he was happy he was proven wrong and resolved to trust his father. When he went out to meet his father, they found Sadeas, who should already have been moving as speed is imperative in assaulting the Tower. Sadeas said that they needed to confer given the particular difficulties the Tower presented. If they could trap and kill the ten thousand Parshendi they always committed to assaults they could change the tide of the war. Adolin found himself agreeing with Sadeas's assessment. Sadeas got Dalinar to commit eight thousand troops and to using his faster bridges now that he had a new method of using them.{{book ref|sa1|64}} When they arrived at the southern staging plateau, Adolin was the one who directed the troops.{{book ref|sa1|65}}
 
Part way through the battle, a second Parshendi army arrivesdarrived. Adolin noticed this before Dalinar and, he ran franticlyfrantically to his father asking him what they were supposed to do. As Dalinar went to check for himself, he saw Sadeas leaving and taking all of his bridges with him, effectively leaving the Kholin army to be slaughtered with no way for retreat.{{book ref|sa1|65}} Adolin and Dalinar fought side by side against the Parshendi. Adolin berated their shared decision to trust Sadeas:.
{{sidequote
|We walked right into this […] We let him take away our bridges. We let him get us onto the plateau before the second wave of Parshendi arrived. We let him control the scouts. We even suggested the attack pattern that would leave us surrounded if he didn't support us!
As the battle continued however, he told his father that he did not blame him for what was happening and that he wished he had not fought Dalinar on every little thing. Adolin reflected that if he had trusted his father instead of distracting them both they might have seen Sadeas's betrayal. With that reconciliation they both prepared to die alongside their army, fighting to the last breath.{{book ref|sa1|66}}
 
When Kaladin made the decision to turn back to save the Kholin army, Dalinar noticed the returning bridge. Adolin at first thought it was a trick but they both decided to punch through the Parshendi with the army to have one chance of saving their men, no matter how slim that chance was.{{book ref|sa1|67}} When Kaladin found Adolin, he ordered him to make his soldiers retreat. Adolin stubbornly refused at first, desperate to save his father who was battling [[Eshonai]] but Kaladin told Adolin that if he fell his men would have nothing. Adolin could barely walk as it was. He finally ordered Captainlord Malan to go with Kaladin to save his father.{{book ref|sa1|68}} When returning from the battle, Adolin gave his father his gauntlet because Adolin is younger and if either of the two of them were to go without part of their Shardplate it should be him. When they arrived, Navani and Renarin were waiting for them in Sadeas's warcamp. Renarin hugedhugged his father and greeted Adolin by pounding on his Shardplate while grinning. The brothers were both a bit uncomfortable when Navani and Dalinar embraced. They were soon encountered by Sadeas's hostile troops. Dalinar told Adolin not to summon his blade, when Dalinarand offersoffered up his [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Shardblade]] in a trade for the [[bridgemen]].{{book ref|sa1|69}}

==== Disarming the Shardbearers ====
After a highstorm, glyphs mysteriously appeared in Dalinar's rooms and during the inspection that follows, Dalinar noted Adolin's dislike of Kaladin. {{book ref|sa2|4}} Before the meeting with his generals, Adolin asked Dalinar if Kaladin should be waiting outside. This made Kaladin wonder if Adolin knew or suspected something about his Radiant powers, and he came to the conclusion that the prince is very spoiled.{{book ref|sa2|5}} During the meeting, Adolin brought up the idea of forming a coalition to counteract whatever one Sadeas forms, which would probably divide the kingdom in two. Dalinar countered that Alethkar as a kingdom hadn't existed in centuries and what existed now was mockery. Following up on this idea, Kaladin mentioned taking away the shards of the other highprinces' Shardbearers. Adolin, who until now had been banned from dueling, was tasked with this challenge.{{book ref|sa2|5}}
 
Before his duel against [[Salinor Eved]], Adolin went through his pre-dueling rituals. Alone in the meditation room, he talked with his Shardblade, where he confided that he wasn't as confident as he made it out to everyone else and thanked the Shardblade for all it had done for him. After Renarin made sure everything was in place, he headed out while Navani burned a prayer for Adolin. Adolin revealed he was worried about how late Jasnah was and the possibility of not meeting Shallan. He also mentioned that he was the one who had broken off the relationship with Danlan, citing that it had not been his fault and that she had said some things to her friends that had turned him off from their courting.{{book ref|sa2|14}}
At the training grounds, Adolin and Kaladin's dislike for one another only grew. Adolin told Kaladin he didn't trust him and that even though Kaladin's job was to keep him alive, he could take care of himself and Kaladin should instead spend his time keeping Renarin safe. Adolin had brought Renarin to the training grounds to petition Zahel to train him.{{book ref|sa2|16}} When Zahel tested Kaladin's ability to protect Renarin, Adolin joined in, deliberately provoking Kaladin. The two fight and in the end, after he threw Kaladin off him, Zahel chewed him out for fighting an unarmed sparring partner with such force.{{book ref|sa2|18}}
 
During a highstorm, Kaladin found Adolin looking at a fashion magazine and questions why as all he wore was uniforms. Adolin, annoyed, asked Kaladin if he really needed to be there. and whenWhen Kaladin explained , Adolin asked that he at least would leave him and Renarin out of it. Then Dalinar, Adolin and Kaladin discussed the plan to duel the Shardbearers. Adolin had expected thethey would want to challenge him after SalinoSalinor, but they were stalling. Amaram was the only Shardbearer in Sadeas's camp, and they want otto leave him if alone as Dalinar thought he could be brought over to their side. Adolin explains he planned to challenge other half ShardbearesShardbearers in the hope this makes him look like a challenge to others. When Kaladin pointed out the flaws of this, Dalinar agreed with him and tells Adolin he doesn't have to win every Shard in the warcamps. They simply had to undermine Sadeas and kill him in a duel if they can.{{book ref|sa2|23}}
 
While the bridgemen learn how to ride horses, Adolin and Renarin were out exercising theirs. Adolin taunted Kaladin's difficulties with [[Spray]], the horse he's riding. He ended up goading Kaladin into riding [[Dreamstorm]] and called him mad when Kaladin followed through and inevitably got thrown from the horse's back. He later thanked Kaladin for not telling his father that he more or less dared Kaladin to do it.{{book ref|sa2|25}}
 
As part of the second phase of Dalinar's plan, Adolin arrived with a small strike force to help Jakamav and Roion's forces on a plateau to encourage cooperation between the Warcamps. Once they got to the chrysalis, Adolin discovered the Parshendi had already harvested the gemheart. Adolin spotted Eshonai and demanded that she fight him. He was surprised when she called him by name and asked if she would be able to meet Dalinar. Fighting the Thrill, Adolin told her Dalinar would want to speak with her and Eshonai replied she would send a messenger to setuptheset up the meeting. Afterwards, he talked again with Jakamav, who warned Adolin that if he keeps dueling, he would end up losing his shards. Adolin invited Jakamav out for drinking, but is told being seen with him is bad for one's reputation.{{book ref|sa2|26}}
 
In his duellingdueling bout with Eranniv, Adolin makdemade it appear as though he barely had the skill to beat his opponent in the hope that this would make other Shardbearers eager to fight him. He won the duel and took Eranniv's Shardplate.{{book ref|sa2|29}}
