==== Birth (1150)Childhood ====

Later Dalinar took Adolin aside to inspect the king's saddle as Elhokar had requested of them. Adolin quickly realized that Elhokar believed the girth was cut deliberately and, annoyed, pointed out his cousin's worsening paranoia and that he and his father seemed to have become Elhokar's bodyguards. Despite their misgivings, both he and Dalinar agreed that if the girth was cut there may have been a plot to kill the king, as Alethi lighteyes were fond of their overly complicated plots. Dalinar assigned Adolin the task of investigating this further. Adolin wondered if Sadeas may have been behind it, but Dalinar shut down the suggestion. andHe showedexplained to Adolin that they and Sadeas both had investeda vested interest and desire to keep Elhokar safe and would work together to manipulate other highprinces for the King's benefit. Dalinar then revealed [[Gavilar]]'s final words. Adolin connected this to his father's presumed delusions and assumed they were a product of guilt over Gavilar's death. Dalinar hoped Adolin would learn to see the importance of the Codes. He then asked Adolin to at least respect Sadeas. Adolin reluctantly agreed and at his insistence Dalinar agreed to consider that Sadeas might be playing them.{{book ref|sa1|15}}

|You aren't well, father, […] We need to stop tiptoeing around it! You need to stop making up increasingly irrational explanations to reason away your lapses! I know it's hard to accept, but sometimes, people get old. Sometimes, the mind stops working right.

|I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's your guilt over Gavilar's death. That book, the Codes, the visions—maybe they're all attempts to find escape, find redemption, something. What you see is not real. Your life now is a rationalization, a way of trying to pretend that what's happening isn't happening. But I'll go to Damnation itself before I'll let you drag the entire house down without speaking my mind on it!

While waiting for the coming highstorm, Renarin, Adolin and Dalinar discussed Dalinar's intention to abdicate. Adolin found the plan insane, and thought it went too far and that he didn't yet want to be highprince. Dalinar and Renarin pointed out that Adolin had called his father crazy. Dalinar added that leaderhip was not about what one wants. He elaborated that the other highprinces would use the perceived weakness against house Kholin. When asked, he told his sons he planned to go back to Alethkar to help dissuade foreign invaders. The conversation was cut short by the arriving highstorm, and his sons reluctantly tied Dalinar to his chair. When the vision ended, Adolin untied his father. Both sons were looking uncomfortable from seeing their father thrash about and speak gibberish. Dalinar felt strengthened in his decision to abdicate, while Adolin said the episodes wherewere containable and Dalinar shouldn't use delusions as basis of important decisions. Dalinar expressed that he believed the visions to be real, although not necessarily from the Almighty; they might have been from the [[Old Magic]]. Adolin was shocked to learn that the Old Magic was real and that his father had searched it out.{{book ref|sa1|52}}

|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.

After a highstorm, glyphs mysteriously appeared in Dalinar's rooms and; during the inspection that followsfollowed, 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 iswas very spoiled.{{book ref|sa2|5}} During the meeting, Adolin brought up the idea of forming a coalition to counteract whatever one Sadeas formsformed, 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}}

During the duel, Adolin employed [[Ironstance]] in a brutal display, treating Salinor like a new recruit. He felt the Thrill during the duel, something that he hadn't felt before. He drew the ire of Highjudge [[Istow]] for using hand-to-hand combat techniques to break Salinor's helm and breastplate. He countered her by saying he had broken no rules. The Thrill faded from him after he wrapped his hand around Salinor's neck. After the duel, he gave the Shardblade to Renarin as a present. Navani speculated that he went for such a brutal and unskilled method as a way of masking his true skill, and Adolin allowed her to believe this.{{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. andHe felt 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 fightfought and, in the end, after heAdolin 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 questionsquestioned why, as all heAdolin wore was uniforms. Adolin, annoyed, asked Kaladin if he really needed to be there. When 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 theyother Shardbearers would want to challenge him after Salinor, but they were stalling. Amaram was the only Shardbearer in Sadeas's camp, andbut they wantwanted to leave him if alone, as Dalinar thought he could be brought over to their side. Adolin explainsexplained he planned to challenge other half Shardbearers in the hope thisthat that would makesmake him look like a challenge to others. When Kaladin pointed out the flaws of this, Dalinar agreed with him and tellstold Adolin he doesndidn't have to win every Shard in the warcamps. TheyWarcamps--they simply had to undermine Sadeas and kill him in a duel if they cancould.{{book ref|sa2|23}}

While the bridgemen learnlearned how to ride horses, Adolin and Renarin were out exercising theirs. Adolin taunted Kaladin's difficulties with [[Spray]], the horse he's was 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 that she would send a messenger to set up the meeting. Afterwards, he talked again with Jakamav, who warned Adolin that if he keepskept dueling, he would end up losing his shards. Adolin invited Jakamav out for drinking, but iswas told being seen with him iswas bad for one's reputation.{{book ref|sa2|26}}

After Eshonai's messenger's arrival and confirmation of the meeting place, Kaladin wanted to evacuate the palace, as he had a sudden feeling it was unsafe, even though the highstorm had just ended. As they moved to do so, [[Szeth]] arrived. Dalinar sendsent Renarin with Elhokar to protect him while he, Adolin, and Kaladin faced off against the Assassin in White, not knowing that heSzeth was there to kill Dalinar, not Elhokar. Adolin wanted to take on the assassin himself, but Dalinar said they'd fight him together. During the fight, Adolin got Lashed to the ceiling by Szeth. Later heHe fell later when the stormlight had run out, landing on his shoulder, and was removed from the fight, appearing unconscious to Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|32}} After the fight, Adolin seemed to doubt Kaladin's account of how he had survived. He was particularly curious as to why Kaladin's arm seemed fine buteven though the sleeve wasappeared cutto after the arm hadhave been cut by Szeth's blade.{{book ref|sa2|33}} The next day, Adolin reflected on the night's encounter more and found Kaladin to have been suspiciously effective against Szeth. After watching the Soulcasters create a new windbreak, he grilled Kadash, the supervising ardent, about the Radiants and told him to do more research into them.{{book ref|sa2|35}}

At the meeting of the Highprinces, Adolin worried about his effectiveness in protecting his father from the Assassin in White when he had been useless the last time. While the meeting was on break, he went to [[Relis]], current duelling champion, son of Highprince Ruthar and full Shardbearer, and tried to goad him into a duel. While Relis refused, even with five of the Kholins' shards on the line, he managed to hook Relis's cousin Elit. Afterwards, he was cornered by Sadeas, who told him that what he didhad done at the Battle of the Tower was done as a kindness to Adolin's father. Adolin threatened Sadeas with a slow death and reflected how society found andan offense in person worse than abandoning naan llyally on the battlefield to certain death. He almost punched Sadeas in the face, but was stopped by [[Amaram]]. Adolin tried to convince Amaram to secede, but Amaram said he must remain with Sadeas to help bridge gaps, adding that he and Sadeas havehad an understanding. Adolin doubted Amaram's sterling reputation. He was distracted, however, by the arrival of [[Shallan]] and was struck by her beauty. When he approached her, he overhearedoverheard her informing his aunt and father of Jasnah's death.{{book ref|sa2|37}}

Adolin and Shallan met and flirted for a while before Adolin was sent away by his father. Dalinar revealed to Shallan while Adolin iswas away, that the reason he agreed to the causal betrothal was to make Adolin seem unavailable to those who would manipulate him for political gain. She had to persuade him, Navani, and Adolin to turn the causal into a full betrothal. At the meeting, Dalinar told the gathered Highprinces that Adolin would win their shards from them, which they took to be a joke.{{book ref|sa2|38}}

While at the training grounds, Adolin and Kaladin came to a silent understanding that they both needed to train harder if they were going to best the Assassin in White when he inevitably returned. When Shallan arrived, Adolin assumed she iswas there to watch him. After taunting Kaladin a little, Adolin revealed, when asked, that he doesndidn't mind being betrothed, and was hoping that the formality of the arrangement willwould keep it from falling apart. When Shallan ignored Adolin, it was Kaladin's turn to mock Adolin. When Adolin askdasked Shallan if she needed him to pose so she cancould sketch his plate and blade for her records, but she declined, saying his mother's sketches were more than adequate.{{book ref|sa2|44}} Later Adolin, leading the Kholin army, won a plateau run alongside [[Bethab]]'s army.{{book ref|sa2|46}}

For their first date, Adolin took Shallan to one of the trendy winehouses that allowed viewings of oncoming highstorms. Shallan asked him about plateau runs. He started telling the story like he had donetold many times, until she asked him how he poopspooped if he's was in shardplateShardplate. Though embarrassed, Adolin revealed that he has defecated in his shardplateShardplate three times, all on purpose. From that point on, their interaction became more genuine. They moved on to discussing chasmfiends, gemhearts and sustainability of the chasmfiend population. Adolin feigned ignorance for a while, saying he isnwasn't good at anything that doesndidn't involve stabbing, but eventually said he was not as dense as he was pretending. Shallan suggested raising and harvesting chasmfiends as a solution to their dwindling population. Adolin, surprising Shallan, asked her what she would need to make it happen. She asked to be taken out onto the Shattered Plains to see an uncut chrysalis for herself. Adolin was hesitant about this, but Shallan tellstold him she knew he'd protect her. Adolin revealed to Shallan his father's visions and Sadeas's betrayal to Shallan. In turn, Shallan revealed Jasnah's suspicions of the [[Parshmen]] being related to the return of the [[Voidbringers]]. Adolin told Shallan he'd talk to his aunt and try to smooth things over for her so Shallan could talk to Navani about Jasnah's research. Afterwards, they watched the approaching highstorm and were the last remaining spectators until Adolin had to drag Shallan indoors before the storm hitshit. Before they gowent to the gender segregated sitting rooms, Adolin promised to try and get her out onto the Plains. {{book ref|sa2|49}}

While waiting out the highstorm, Adolin encountered Sadeas. Sadeas tried to engage Adolin in conversation about fashion, and Adolin thought about how much he wanted to kill the highprince, butthough he knew that it would only lead to his own execution or exile. Sadeas revealed that he hashad renounced the title of [[Highprince of Information]]. Adolin interprettedinterpreted this as a rejection of the King's authority. Sadeas went on to say that he was glad Adolin had survived the Tower and that he would make a fine highprince in the upcoming months. andHe predicted that in ten years he and Adolin would have a fine alliance. Adolin countered withby saying he'd have killed Sadeas by then. When Adolin returned to his father's bunker, he found the bridgemen grouped around another mysterious message on the wall. Adolin had them summon Navani. Dalinar believed he might have made the markings during one of his fits, because they were made with his knife but. Adolin pointed out anyone could have taken itthe knife to do this.that, but Dalinar and Navani were of a different opinion however.{{book ref|sa2|50}}

The next day, Adolin took Dalinar's place at the meeting with [[Eshonai]]. He was pretendingpretended to be himDalinar by wearing Renarin's Shardplate. When he met Eshonai, she told him that the Parshendi had changed the rules of the conflict and, that peace would be achieved when one of them was dead, and that the gemhearts no longer mattered. When Adolin reiterated the desire for peace, Eshonai replied that the Alethi would have to destroy the Parshendi. When asked why they had killed Gavilar, she told him that Gavilar had explained them his plans to them and thought they'd delight in the return of their gods. When Adolin returned to the camps, he found Dalinar and his generals formulating a plan to take the fight to the Parshendi directly.{{book ref|sa2|51}}

Adolin continued with his father's plan of winning shardblades,Shardblades and finally duelled [[Elit Ruthar|Elit]]. During the duel, Elit made several moves to either injure or kill Adolin. Adolin won the duel by completely draining Elit's plate of stormlight. Shallan visited Adolin after his duel and told him that she had discovered a way to help him with his duels, but it required he do something truly amazing. When Relis arrived, as Adolin suspected he would, he managed to convince Relis to duel him by saying he would fight Relis and whoeverwhomever else he would bring. When they left, Shallan asked Adolin if he could beat two Shardbearers and; Adolin sayssaid he wasn't sure but he hoped it would be spectacular enough for her plan.{{book ref|sa2|53}}

While taking Shallan on a date, Adolin was accompanied by Kaladin, much to his chagrin. He was further annoyed by Kaladin insisting he had to be in the carriage with them. While travelling to the menagerie, Shallan told Adolin and the listening Kaladin the account of Sadeas's duel with Highprince [[Yenev]] eighteen years prior. Sadeas had won the chance to duel and had killkilled Yenev through the [[Right of Challenge]] and the [[King's Boon]]. Kaladin didn't think Sadeas would agree to the Right of Challenge, but Adolin and Shallan told him that Sadeas must obey it. They also explained to him that this iswas all about destroying reputation and image; Sadeas had formed a coalition against the king, thus implying he was stronger than the king. Everyone, isincluding playingSadeas, awas gameplaying andby it'sthe rules Sadeasof wasa playing bygame, so defeating him within those parameters was possible. When there was a commotion at the gates of the menagerie, Adolin stayed with Shallan while Kaladin went to check things out. Dalinar had arrived, with Amaram in tow, announcing that the Knights Radiant had been reestablished with Amaram as their leader.{{book ref|sa2|55}}

Before the duel, Adolin went through his rituals, burning the prayer Shallan had written for him and praying himself. Navani expressed her worry, particularly over the terms that the duel shallwould end with surrender rather than breaking the shardplateShardplate. When Renarin didchecked his check that Adolin hashad followed his routine, they discovered that Adolin's mother's chain was missing. This momentarily threw Adolin off balance, though he started to recover as they put on his platePlate. When his opponents entered the ring, there arewere four of them rather than the two that Adolin had assumed. Instead of forfeiting, Adolin signalledsignaled for the duel to commence. He recognized the three Shardbearers Relis had broughdtbrought with him: Elit, [[Abrobadar]] and Jakamav.{{book ref|sa2|56}}

Adolin attacked, trying to minimize any attempt they had to assess and respond. He did alright for a while but eventually became overwhelmed. When he attempted to yield, the Shardbearers stopped him, and Highjudge Istow didn't, or had choosen not to, hear him. Adolin realized that if he left the duel alive he'd be doing so as a cripple. Renarin joined the duel with just his shardblade andShardblade; Adolin tried to convince him to leave, but Renarin refused. Relis told him that so long as Adolin did not surrender or would make his cousin end the duel, Abrobadar would not hurt Renarin but; if Adolin did attempt any of those things, Renarin would die.{{book ref|sa2|56}}

Kaladin joined the duel as well, keeping the duel still at a disadvantage. He got to Adolin, and the two formformed a plan: Kaladin would keep one distracted and keep an eye on Renarin if he could while Adolin took on the other two. Adolin told him that they mightneeded useto Renarinbe asprepared leverageif againsttheir them,opponents soused theyRenarin neededas toleverage beagainst prepared for itthem. Two-on-one actually seemed to be an even match for Adolin. Adolin managed to break Elit's breastplate, incapacitating him, and Kaladin forced him to surrender. When Elit surrendered, Abrobadar abandoned Renarin and joined Relis and Jakamav in fighting Adolin. When Kaladin ran to help, Relis and Jakamav abandoned Adolin to take out Kaladin. Adolin used the opportunity this provided to defeat Abrobadar and then jumped on Jakamav from behind. His plate ran out of stormlight and locked, and they both tumbled to the ground.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

Relis went to attack Renarin, andbut Kaladin managed to stop his blade. Relis, hearing the screams of his shardbladeShardblade when Kaladin touchestouched the blade, ran screaming from the arena, thus abandoning the duel. This left only Jakamav, whowhom Adolin iswas pinned beneath, restraining him. Kaladin put his knife to Jakamav and forced him to surrender. Adolin made Kaladin help him out of his Shardplate. When Elhokar offered the King's Boon, Adolin requested The Right of Challenge against Sadeas. Before Elhokar could offer it, Kaladin interrupted by requesting The Right of Challenge against Amaram.{{book ref|sa2|57}} They were unable to pin down the duel andwith Sadeas, who responded that he would answer the challenge in a year's time, which was too late for House Kholin.{{book ref|sa2|58}}

Though he was wearing several weeks' growth of beard on his face, Adolin had had cold baths and even had worn cologne while in prison. When Kaladin asked him why he locked himself up, Adolin said it didn't seem right that Kaladin was in there, especially after saving his life. When Kaladin apologized for ruining the plan, Adolin told him that it was Elhokar who didhad ruined it, not him. He even believed Kaladin about Amaram unquestioningly, stating the man seemed too perfect and was thus hiding something. When they exited the prison, Bridge Four and Adolin's armorers were waiting. Adolin presented Kaladin with a Plate and Blade, but Kaladin offered them to Moash instead. Pulling him aside, Adolin asked him why and; Kaladin told him he diddidn't want his life to change because he was lighteyed,. heHe wanted to change the lives of people like him, andsomething he could not do that as a lighteyes. When Adolin pressed that the Assassin in White willwould return, Kaladin told him he'd be more useful without the shardsShards.{{book ref|sa2|66}}

Adolin was present with Shallan at the feast when Navani's recordings of Dalinar's visions were exposed.{{book ref|sa2|67}} Adolin managed to roll out an entire strike force andincluding his father to accompany Shallan so she could study a chasmfiend chrysalis. Adolin and Kaladin discussed the Assassin in White as they went, deciding that they could slow him with arrows if he attacked out herethere on the plains. Kaladin told Adolin that Szeth cancould heal himself, and thus he should always go for the kill when fighting him. Adolin also awkwardly tried and failed to get Kaladin to reveal his secret, but; when Kaladin asked him if he trustsedhimtrusted him, Adolin sayssaid he did.

When Shallan came over to them, she kissed Adolin's cheek, much to his surprise, as Alethi arewere not so publicly affectionate. When she rhetorically asked why the moss was growing weird on a rock, he replied that it's was because of alcohol in an attempt at being funny. Shallan asked Adolin to slay the moss for her and he bemusedly did so, cutting the top of the rock off with his Shardblade. He then left Kaladin to watch over her as he went to get something to drink. While he was gone he let the darkeyed waterboys try on his Shardplate helmet. Later, when the carpenter destroyed the bridge, Adolin ran to try to stop him and grabbed his father but was unable to save Shallan or Kaladin, who fell into the chasms.{{book ref|sa2|68}}

When Adolin learned that Shallan was alive, he rushed to her apartments. Though he initiated the hug, the first time he's had ever initiated any physical affection, Shallan was the one who initiated the kiss. When Shallan asked where he'd been, he told her he had been delivering his father's ultimatum to finish the [[Vengeance Pact]] to the other Highprinces. Dalinar thought it would keep Adolin occupied while grieving over Shallan. Adolin promised he'd never let anything happen to Shallan again and she told him that while she appreciatesappreciated his concern, butshe did not want that from him. WhileDespite being confused about thisthat, he backed her up when Navani promised something similar.{{book ref|sa2|75}}

Before the battle, Adolin delivered the news to the Highprinces that the Parshendi numbered at least ten thousand to the Highprinces before the battle.{{book ref|sa2|80}} At the start of the battle, Dalinar commanded Adolin to take his force and stop the Parshendi's singing at all costs. He was accompanied by [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]] of Bridge Four as his guards. When Adolin crossed the bridge to engage the Parshendi, they summoned up lightning and killed Sureblood, knocking Adolin from his saddle. He grieved for a moment over the Ryshadium before charging back into the battle and commanding his troops. He discovered that the Parshendi's lightning acted like natural lightning and would often miss targets by going into the ground. He also discovered that their lightning did not affect Shardplate.{{book ref|sa2|81}}

The Parshendi tried to immobilize Adolin by lassoing him with ropes, but he managed to cut through them and fended the Parshendi off. The Parshendi were engaging Adolin in teams to keep him out of the battle where he'd be the most deadly. When [[Perel]], the man he had placed as field commander, called for the flank's retreat, Adolin guarded it in case the Parshendi pursued. Perel told him neither side iswas making headway and that he was worried about the singing Parshendi reserves up against a rock formation in the middle of the plateau. Adolin could no longer feel the Thrill, which he passed off as just being tired. Adolin remembered what Shallan said about the rock formations being hollow and devised a plan to go through the formation with a battalion.{{book ref|sa2|82}}

Adolin and a thousand men went through the crem encrusted building to the wall the Parshendi singers were hiding against. He cut two holes in the wall for his men to exit through,; the first one went unnoticed because of all the chanting and rain, but the second was noticed. He charged into the Parshendi and started cutting them down. He likened it to killing sleeping men and reflected on how attacking ordinary soldiers with Shards was doing dirty work. Despite winning the plateau, the Parshendi's expressions of horror haunted him as he cut them down, feeling nauseated. Though he was caught unawares by Eshonai and her's attack, he mentally thanked her for her arrival, glad to have an honest fight on his hands.{{book ref|sa2|83}}

Fighting Eshonai, Adolin sensed the Thrill in her and used this to his advantage in their duel, luring her to the edge of the plateau. Though Eshonai managed to break his vambrace, Adolin knockdknocked her off the edge of the plateau and down into the chasms. This gambit broke his helm and nearly toppled him over the edge as well, but he was caught and saved by Drehy and Skar.

While jogging across the bridge to find out what was going on with the rest of the army, Adolin grabbed the arm of a man in a thick cloak whowhom he assumed was delivering something and asked where his father iswas. When the hood fallsfell off, Adolin discovered the man iswas the Assassin in White.{{book ref|sa2|84}}

Szeth threw a badly beaten Adolin through one of the tents, and Adolin landed near his father, most of his Plate broken or cracked. DalinarAs cradledSzeth Adolinapproached, asDalinar Szethcradled approachedAdolin and told him to be a better man than he had been and to not play the games of the other lighteyes,. beforeAdolin gettingtried upto andstop approachingDalinar Szeth.from Adolingetting triedup toand stopapproaching himSzeth, but with so much of his Plate broken, he struggled to get upstand. He watched his father and Szeth fight and eventually managed to stand. Drehy and Skar helped him remove his armor. Once it's was off, he ran to save his father, who was kneltkneeling in defeat before Szeth, but. [[Roion]] got there before him and was Lashed upwards to the sky by Szeth. Wearing no Shardplate, Adolin engaged Szeth. Dalinar and Adolin both rushed Szeth, hoping to score a lucky blow, but Szeth flew out of the way. Szeth managed to land a hand on Dalinar in the fight and Lashed him upwards into the storm. Crying, Adolin began to rush Szeth, but the assassin pointed his [[Honorblade]] at Adolin and told him that it was finished and that he was done. Adolin moved to hit him, but Szeth parried the blow, breaking Adolin's wrist. He hit him in the chest, knocking the air from Adolin's lungs, and sayssaid he could kill one more. Before Szeth could, however, Kaladin landed with Dalinar in his grasp, safe.{{book ref|sa2|85}}

Kaladin chased after Szeth into the storm and Adolin, upon confirming Kaladin was one of the Knights Radiant, laughed and exclaimsexclaimed that he knew there was something wrong with the man. Dalinar send Adolin to help organize the army's move to Shallan's plateau. When he got to the plateau, he met up with Shallan and discovered she iswas a Radiant as well. They trytried using Adolin's Shardblade to open the Oathgate, but it didn't work and; they instead used [[Pattern]] in his Shardblade form. They both used their weight to work the mechanism, pushing the blade around the circle until it stood above the picture of Urithiru. When Shallan removed Pattern from the slot, the Oathgate activated. Once transported, they discovered the entire plateau was the portal.{{book ref|sa2|86}}

Adolin took charge of the expeditionexploration of Urithiru, creating maps of the city.{{book ref|sa2|87}} Adolin and Shallan met, and Shallan said she willwould not let her status as a Radiant cause awkwardness between them. They kissed, and Adolin promised to stop being awkward if she stopped being irresistible. When he left, he informed her that Pattern hashad chosen her room and told the guards that no one iswas to disturb her.{{book ref|sa2|88}}

While exploring, Adolin reflected on his relationship with Shallan and how it hashad changed with the revelation that she was a Radiant, which hashad shaken his sense of self. Getting too far ahead of the rest of his party, Adolin investigated some voices he heard and stumbled across Sadeas with a scouting party of his own. Adolin remained hidden until the others have left and tried to sneak away, but his boot scraped the floor, drawing Sadeas's attention. As the two talked, Sadeas revealed his plan to undermine Dalinar by saying the Kholin'sKholins had contacted the Parshendi and the two had put on a convincing show at Narak. Sadeas didn't believe this, but it was the lie he'll would tell others.

[[File:WoR{{image|Act SHof -Wrath Adolinby Ari Ibarra.jpg|width=250px|thumb|side=right|<center><small>by [[User:Botanicaxu]]</small></center> Adolin killing [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]] ]]}}

Adolin asked Sadeas why he was the way he was, and Sadeas told Adolin that an army cannotcould not have two generals and; it had to be him or Dalinar who disappeared. Adolin said it didn't have to be that way, but Sadeas reiterated that it must and that he would take everything Dalinar had. Adolin finally snapedsnapped and attacked Sadeas. The two wrestlewrestled, and Adolin managed to stab Sadeas through the eye and into his brain, killing him. Adolin ditched [[Oathbringer]], which materialized as Sadeas died, out the window and into one of the planters. He cut his bloody cuffs off and erased the chalk marks that indicated he had been in the vicinity. He returned to his scouting party and pretended he had been with them the whole time.{{book ref|sa2|89}}

Adolin supervised the workforce that was unloading goods at Urithiru. They used a huge room, four stories high, to become the new market place. His wrist was still hurting from the [[Battle of Narak]]. He was summoned by his father when Sadeas' body was discovered.{{book ref|sa3|2}} Adolin kept quiet about his involvement and was put in charge of training the Alethi armies. Shortly after, he attended Dalinar's wedding.{{book ref|sa3|4}} Adolin was very disturbed when a second murder happened in exactly the same way as Sadeas' a few days later. Dalinar then put him in charge of the investigation of both murders.{{book ref|sa3|9}}

The Kholin cavalry arewere housed on the ground floor of Urithiru with an outside field for [[Gallant]], Dalinar's Ryshadium. Adolin went to visit the horse and talked with him, as Dalinar hadn't been giving hismuch attention to his mount. Adolin reminisced about the good times he had with Sureblood, as he was still mourning the loss of his own Ryshadium. At that moment, Renarin came by looking for Adolin. Renarin explained how he wanted to give his Shards back to Adolin, as the sword screamed when he touched it. The Kholin brothers talked about Renarin's emerging Radiant powers. Renarin expressed his fear that he would hurt someone, which Adolin dismissed. In response, Renarin healed Adolin's wrist.{{book ref|sa3|10}}

A little time later, Adolin visited Shallan in her room, bringing food. She was still in her underwear and had her safehand uncovered, as she was recovering from her 'scouting' party and had slept in. After some commotion, Shallan let Adolin into her room and formally introduced Pattern to him. They had a lengthy and flirty talk while Pattern acted as chaperone.{{book ref|sa3|13}} They discussed the murders Adolin was set to investigate, and Adolin offered Shallan to teach herShallan how to use her Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|15}}

At his next visit to Shallan, Adolin waited outside until he could enter. He quickly noticed the jug of Horneater white and wondered what Shallan had been up to. While they walked to Ialai Sadeasspeak to speakIalai Sadeas about the murders, Adolin advised Shallan to find a purpose for her 'honor' guards. It turned out that, Ialai had no useful information, but she pointed Adolin to the Kholin troops. She asked him to send a report of his findings to her own investigator, Meridas Amaram.{{book ref|sa2|22}}

Adolin attended a big conference with Dalinar, Kaladin, Elokhar, the highprinces, and other dignitaries. When Ialai entered and named Amaram the regent to the Sadeas princedom, Adolin got very angry. Dalinar sent Adolin away, and Shallan followed him. During the conversation that followed, Adolin revealed to Shallan that it was Kaladin who killed her brother [[Helaran]].{{book ref|sa3|27}}

When Shallan discovered where [[Re-Shephir]] was hiding in Urithiru, she had Pattern find Adolin to accompany her. Adolin gathered a group of Bridge Four soldiers, including his brother Renarin, and led them down into the tower. When they came to a locked metal door, Adolin used his Shardblade to cut the lock and findgrant entry to a library filled with decayed books. Adolin ordered his men to retreat when they found Re-Shephir, standing at the front with Renarin to fight her. Initially he tried to convince Shallan to run away, but he trusted her judgement when she claimed to understand the spren and wanted to fight it. Adolin led the charge against Re-Shephir trusting that Shallan could defeat her.{{book ref|sa3|29}} After the battle, Adolin tried to convince Shallan to rest.{{book ref|sa3|32}}

Kaladin flew the small expedition to [[Kholinar]], including Elhokar, Shallan and Adolin to [[Kholinar]]. Adolin supported Kaladin when he advised the king to approach the city with caution. The team landed outside the city and approachesapproached the city using lightwoven disguises. The Wall Guard was not letting anyone in, but the team used a moment of distraction to sneak in. Adolin leadled the team to his suggested hide out: [[Yokska|his tailor]]'s house.{{book ref|sa3|61}} Adolin and Elhokar attended several parties to contact the remaining local lighteyes and gain the support of their private house guards. When Kaladin was infiltrating the Wall Guard, Adolin acted as his handler, signaling to Kaladin to continue undercover.{{book ref|sa3|73}} During the next highstorm, Adolin, Shallan, and Kaladin sheltered in a wine-house where they planned their next moves. Afterwards, Shallan and Adolin shared an intimate moment, and he got to browse through her sketchbook.{{book ref|sa3|77}}

After all their reconnaissance, the group decided their only option iswas to storm the palace with the help of the Wall Guard and private house guards. While preparing for the assault, Adolin talked again to his sword about how he needed her, and how she used to be alive, and his intention to use her for something good thisthat day. Adolin, Azure, and Elhokar leadled the charge on the front steps of the palace and used their Shardblades to cut open the doors into the palace. When alerted by an officer, Adolin found and freed the remaining loyal Palace Guard troops, who were locked up. After they secured the eastern gallery, Adolin leadled the group that cleared the way for Shallan towards the Oathgate platform.{{book ref|sa3|83}} After [[Ashertmarn]] fled, Adolin left Shallan to open the Oathgate, and went to the Sunwalk with Skar and Drehy to rescue Kaladin and Elhokar; they arrived after Elhokar's death, but were able to save Kaladin.{{book ref|sa3|84}} As he returned to the Oathgate, he got a good look at Kholinar, realized that the city&mdash;his home&mdash;was lost, and ordered a retreat. When Shallan told him that the Oathgate was trappeda trap, Adolin realized they had no other options and ordered her to engage it anyway,{{book ref|sa3|85}} resulting in them being transported to [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa3|87}}

Adolin, Shallan, Kaladin, Azure, Syl, Pattern, and the deadeye representing Adolin's sword found themselves in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|87}} Shallan used a lot of Stormlight to create makeshift platforms in the bead ocean to get the group to the land representing the river near Kholinar in the [[Physical Realm]]. Adolin felt useless, as he had no skills to help the group.{{book ref|sa3|89}} The next morning, Adolin woke up and started a morning kata, which Kaladin and Azure both joined.{{book ref|sa3|93}} They followed the peninsula to the lighthouse at the end, from where they caught a ship sailed by [[Reachers]] to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|97}} Just before disembarking in Celebrant, Adolin had a conversation with Azure about duty, royalty, and Azure's view that sometimes the best way to do your duty is to let someone else carry it.{{book ref|sa3|101}}

The group split in Celebrant; Adolin went with Kaladin and Syl to change money and buy supplies. The group soon discovered that the city was under the control of the Fused. They narrowly escaped when Syl surrendered herself to a ship of honorspren.{{book ref|sa3|102}} The honorspren sailed south-westsouthwest, letting the group move freely on deck exceptwith the exception of Syl, who was kept captive. During the trip, Adolin had a long talk with Shallan, and they both revealed some of their secrets; Adolin confessed to her that he was the one who had killed Sadeas, and Shallan talked about her problems with her other identities. Shortly thereafter, they spotedspotted eight Fused in pursuit of the ship.{{book ref|sa3|108}} They were close to [[Longbrow's Straits]], here a land area, with Thaylen City on the other side. Using the bead of a room, Adolin, Shallan, Kaladin, and their spren snuck into the bead ocean while the honorspren and Azure held off the Fused. The group had an exhausting hike across the land to get to the Thaylen City Oathgate, only to find it guarded.{{book ref|sa3|110}}{{book ref|sa3|112}}

The group attacked the Oathgate in an attempt to get back to the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Adolin lead Pattern, Syl, Maya, and twenty of Shallan's illusions to distract two of the guarding Fused. He acted randomly to blend in with the illusions, but one of the Fused spotted him anyway. Adolin fought the Fused and got rammed through by a lance to the stomach. He only survived because Maya suddenly attacked the Fused, allowing Adolin to flee.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Dalinar then opened [[Honor's Perpendicularity]], allowing Adolin, along with Shallan and Kaladin, to return to the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|119}}

After heAdolin stepped through Honor's Perpendicularity, Renarin healed Adolin'shis wound.{{book ref|sa3|119}} Not having gotten a specific task from Dalinar, Adolin decided to try and help the soldiers within the city. He teamed up with [[Kdralk]] to free Navani on the wall and informed her of Elhokar's death. He helped organize the city's resistance, then went to go help fight the [[thunderclast]]s. During the fight he heard [[Maya]] speak to him, telling him her name and her approval of his actions. Adolin stopped to rescue a boy in a building during the fight. [[Hrdalm]] found him and helped distract the thunderclast by taking hits with his Shardplate. The thunderclast nearly killed him, but he managed to summon Maya in seven heartbeats instead of the usual ten, saving his life. Renarin found Adolin, healed him again, and forced him to leave because he didn't have Plate, so; Adolin gave Maya to Hrdalm to temporarily to use instead.{{book ref|sa3|120}} After the battle, he found Shallan to make sure she was all right. She was, and he offered to step aside for Shallan and Kaladin to be together. Shallan said she was choosing him instead. She told him she could be anyone for him, but Adolin replied insistently he didn't want anyone,: he wanted Shallan.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
