Dalinar Kholin

Known facts

no-bridge-crewsReputed by an old bridgeman to be the most honorable Shardbearer in the king's army, and never to use bridge crews the way Sadeas does.SA:WoK:Ch 6
highstorm-visionsHas begun to fall to the floor and shake through every highstorm, raving in gibberish and afterward speaking of the Knights Radiant. The phrase Unite them whispers in his mind for days.SA:WoK:Ch 12
follows-codes-aloneOf the ten armies on the Shattered Plains, only Dalinar and his sons keep the dormant Codes of War — in uniform, sober, refusing to duel while on duty.SA:WoK:Ch 12
bonded-oathbringer-youthBonded Oathbringer when he was twenty Weepings old; the sword has been part of him ever since.SA:WoK:Ch 13
way-of-kings-readingsHas had The Way of Kings read aloud to him almost daily since the murder, hunting for what Gavilar's dying words about "the most important words a man can say" pointed to. The book's reputation is bad — associated with the Lost Radiants, with passages claiming a king should serve his subjects — so he keeps the interest quiet.SA:WoK:Ch 15
wife-erased-from-memoryHis wife has been excised from his memory — gaps and foggy areas where she should be. When others speak her name it slides off him. He has not remarried because filling that hole feels callous.SA:WoK:Ch 15
refuses-to-strike-first-at-sadeasWill not move against Sadeas over the Highprince of Information appointment. If Sadeas strikes against the Kholin name, Dalinar will respond — but if the Codes he claims for himself are to mean anything, he cannot deny Sadeas the authority of his own appointment.SA:WoK:Ch 24
trusts-visions-without-proofCannot prove the visions are real. Cannot explain how he knows. But the voice told him to trust Sadeas and to act with honor, and he will. He concedes to Adolin only that he has asked himself every one of his son's questions a dozen times over.SA:WoK:Ch 24
decides-to-abdicateAfter a draining day of siege-bridge tests with Teleb and a spanreed conversation with Jasnah (who refuses to come home), tells Navani privately that he will abdicate the Kholin princedom in favor of Adolin within the week. He has come to think the visions are a disease of the mind that ran in his line — Gavilar grew strange the same way at the end.SA:WoK:Ch 28
kills-too-many-on-the-plateauOn a plateau assault Dalinar feels the Thrill more intensely than in years. Astride Gallant he swings Oathbringer in pairs and trios of Parshendi at a time. When the fight ends, hundreds lie dead — he hasn't killed in such numbers since the wars to unite Alethkar — and for the first time in decades he is sickened by it on the field. He walks back to his men with his helm in his hand, fighting nausea.SA:WoK:Ch 56
refuses-to-strike-sadeas-backBack at the warcamp, Adolin and the officers want vengeance. Striking back would split the camps, fracture the war, and prove Sadeas right that the old codes are foolishness. Dalinar refuses. He will keep to the codes regardless. The war must hold.SA:WoK:Ch 69
speaks-with-the-stormfatherIn his vision Dalinar climbs to a sea of black glass under a black sky and hears the voice of the Stormfather for the last time. The voice tells him to *unite them* — and that the visions will end. He is to act on what he has been given. *I cannot fight him. I can only prepare you.*SA:WoK:Ch 70
trades-oathbringer-for-bridgemenAfter surviving Szeth, Dalinar goes to Sadeas and offers him Oathbringer — his Shardblade, an irreplaceable national treasure — in exchange for the lives of every one of Sadeas's bridgemen. Sadeas takes the trade, contemptuous of it. Dalinar hands Kaladin command of his bodyguard, and gives Bridge Four their freedom.SA:WoK:Ch 75
charged-to-refound-radiantsAt the end of a Purelake-era vision, the Almighty's voice tells Dalinar explicitly that he must refound the Knights Radiant, unite the highprinces, build a fortress that can weather the coming storm, and vex Odium into accepting a champion's contest he believes he can lose.SA:WoR:Ch 4
sixty-two-days-warningDalinar wakes from a doze in his locked chamber to find glyphs scratched into the wall in stolen white window-stone — a numeric countdown and a phrase naming the death that follows it. He recognises both the meaning and the source: the Everstorm is sixty-two days out. The scribbler entered and left without Captain Kaladin's guards hearing a thing.SA:WoR:Ch 4
shardblade-duels-planDalinar sets a plan to disarm the highprinces of their Shardblades and Shardplate by sending Adolin to challenge their Shardbearers in formal duels of honor, wagering the Shards themselves. He lifts the prohibition that had kept Adolin out of important bouts under the Codes.SA:WoR:Ch 5
announces-intent-to-refound-radiantsPressed by Elhokar for an endgame, Dalinar declares aloud, in front of Navani, his sons, General Khal, Teshav and his bodyguard, that he intends to refound the Knights Radiant — the first time he has stated the charge from his visions publicly.SA:WoR:Ch 5
hands-battle-command-to-adolinOn the first plateau run after his proclamation, Dalinar rides out without his Shardplate and gives field command of the Kholin army to Adolin — backed by General Khal — committing himself to be commander and politician rather than line fighter from this day on.SA:WoR:Ch 8
king-attempted-by-insider-cowardsDalinar concludes that the king's attackers are insiders — a servant or guardsman with access to private quarters — and the same hand that planted flawed gemstones in his armor earlier. They favour non-confrontational methods so that a successful kill will read as an accident: not idiots, Dalinar tells Kaladin, cowards.SA:WoR:Ch 23
knows-szeth-came-for-him-not-elhokarRecovering in Elhokar's rooms after the attack, Dalinar meets Kaladin's eyes and they tacitly agree to let the king keep believing the assassin came for him — even though both heard him say in the corridor that he was here for the highprince, not the king.SA:WoR:Ch 33
commits-to-plains-center-expeditionDalinar declares before the highprinces that the plateau-skirmish war has failed: he will march into the centre of the Shattered Plains either to accept the Parshendi's offered peace or to destroy their camp, and will train and provision the army for an extended push.SA:WoR:Ch 38
sets-adolin-to-win-shards-from-highprincesBefore the council, Dalinar tells the highprinces plainly that Adolin will be winning Shards from their own houses through the dueling brackets — naming a campaign rather than a hobby.SA:WoR:Ch 38
schedules-private-meeting-with-parshendi-leadersAdolin tells Shallan — over wine and quietly — that Dalinar has arranged a private meeting with Parshendi leaders for the following day in hope of opening peace talks. He himself is not hopeful, citing the assassin, but the offer has been made and the other highprinces told.SA:WoR:Ch 49
plans-full-army-march-across-the-plainsWhen the parley collapses Dalinar commits to the opposite of a peace. The whole army — and as many highprinces as he can persuade — will march out across the Plains in the lull after the last highstorm before the Weeping, carrying Soulcasters for food, and reach the centre before whatever the Parshendi are racing toward can finish. The plan lands within days of the countdown scratched in the sitting-room floor.SA:WoR:Ch 51
reveals-roshone-was-exiled-to-hearthstoneExplains to Kaladin that the Roshone silversmiths affair was real — Roshone manipulated young Elhokar into letting innocent prisoners die in Kholinar — and that he himself argued Roshone should be reduced to a tenner; Elhokar argued for mercy, his father agreed, and Roshone was exiled instead, sent to a place where he could do no further harm.SA:WoR:Ch 62
publicly-acknowledges-visions-at-feast-promises-to-publish-future-onesAt a feast on the king's island, after a stolen and altered transcript of Navani's record of his visions is passed around with mocking commentary, climbs onto a table and confirms the visions are real — that he sees them in nearly every storm, and that the doctoring was Sadeas's work — and vows that each future vision will be released in full so scholars across the world can study them. Spends the rest of the night working the crowd to recruit highprinces for the coming expedition.SA:WoR:Ch 67
admits-the-kholin-conquest-of-alethkar-was-wrongTells Wit privately that he, Gavilar and Sadeas were wrong to take the Alethi throne by force — that doing so screamed strength is the right to rule, and is why Sadeas now feels entitled to take the throne from him. What he reads in Nohadon is exactly what was missing.SA:WoR:Ch 67
leaves-parshmen-behind-on-shallans-warningOn Shallan's request — relayed as a warning from Jasnah's notes that parshmen are dangerous to bring near the Parshendi — Dalinar orders the expedition to march onto the Plains without any parshman labour.SA:WoR:Ch 75
traps-amaram-with-a-baited-shardbladeSuspecting Amaram from the start, Dalinar bonded Bordin's madman's Shardblade in secret over a week of feigned illness, then planted it where Amaram could steal it. When Amaram later reported the cache empty, Dalinar called the Blade back to his hand at the man's throat.SA:WoR:Ch 76
questions-whether-radiants-are-his-to-refoundConfronted with Shallan's admission that Jasnah was a Radiant and the failure of his own pick Amaram, Dalinar wonders aloud whether his task was never to refound the Knights Radiant at all — that they were refounding themselves — and accepts Shallan's reframing: his task is to *gather* them.SA:WoR:Ch 78
secures-rlains-guidance-to-the-parshendiOn a promise to protect the Parshendi noncombatants, Dalinar obtains from Rlain the route to the Parshendi heartland — to be drawn out with Shallan — and accepts him under Bridge Four's custody as the army turns inward, three days from Lightday.SA:WoR:Ch 79
designates-shallan-as-escape-planOn the eve of the last day of the countdown Dalinar tells Shallan alone that her Oathgate is the army's backup plan. If the danger overwhelms them tomorrow, her pathway out of the Plains may be the only retreat — for the army, and for Alethkar.SA:WoR:Ch 80
commits-to-march-inward-on-last-dayDalinar commits the four armies to march inward on the last day of the countdown rather than bivouac, threatening the Parshendi city directly so the enemy cannot simply wait the Weeping out. He acknowledges aloud that retreat across days of plateaus is no longer an option.SA:WoR:Ch 80
teleb-given-sebarial-armyDalinar assigns Teleb command of Sebarial's army for the battle, alongside two of Adolin's newly-Sharded brightlords — Serugiadis and Rust — so the line can stand against the new Parshendi with Shardbearers at its head.SA:WoR:Ch 81
voice-of-almighty-speaks-on-battlefieldBetween gusts of the Parshendi storm, only Dalinar hears a voice he recognises from his highstorm visions speak across the plateau: *I am sorry that you have to die this way.* He believes, in the moment, that the Almighty is answering him.SA:WoR:Ch 81
voice-claims-to-be-sliver-not-almightyWhen Dalinar accuses the voice of lying — *you told me you had been killed* — it answers that it is not the Almighty: it is the sliver of Him that remains, the piece of God left in the world after Odium murdered Him, the winds men must feel.SA:WoR:Ch 82
wounded-saving-roionDalinar rides into the line himself to save the half of Roion's army still standing, takes a spear in his shoulder for missing it past the red lightning, and rides back across the chasm with the wound — saved but not unscathed. The surgeon notes his shoulder is all old scars under the shirt.SA:WoR:Ch 83
fights-szeth-and-survivesIn the lull between the closing storms, Dalinar meets the Assassin in White on the central plateau with his bonded Shardblade and fights instinct-first, refusing to think. He holds his own against the slayer of his brother — until a fist breaks his ribs — and accepts in the moment that even sober he could not have saved Gavilar from this creature.SA:WoR:Ch 85
sets-down-the-gavilar-boulderOn his knees before the Assassin in White with cracked ribs, Dalinar knows with sudden quiet certainty that the assassin could not have been beaten that night either, that even sober he could not have saved Gavilar. After six years of carrying it, he sets the boulder down.SA:WoR:Ch 85
bonds-the-stormfather-as-bondsmithAtop Urithiru Dalinar speaks the First Ideal — *Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination* — and then the Second Ideal of the Bondsmiths — *I will unite instead of divide. I will bring men together* — which he claims to know without being told. The Stormfather roars but accepts the Words and bonds him. He warns He will not be a simple sword, and demands that Dalinar divest himself of *that monstrosity* he carries. Dalinar summons the stolen Shardblade, hears the screams, drops it, and feels the bond sever in an instant.SA:WoR:Ch 89
dreams-of-warmth-not-from-the-stormfatherOn the morning of his Bondsmith oath, Dalinar dreams of standing in his childhood home and opening balcony doors onto a deep, enveloping warmth he can look into without being blinded — distant but well known. When he asks afterward, the Stormfather denies sending any vision that morning. *A simple dream. Not of me, nor of gods.* Dalinar notes that it felt the same way as the visions, if not stronger.SA:WoR:Ch 89
cultivation-directs-dalinar-to-the-spiritual-realmCultivation tells Dalinar to defeat Odium through understanding rather than Bondsmith powers alone — by seeking the Spiritual Realm to live the history of Roshar and reach the final truths of the Heralds, the Radiants, and Honor himself. He has, she says, the ability to get there. The Stormfather warns him sharply against it.SA:WaT:Ch 16
decides-to-seek-honors-powerHours after Wit reveals the new Odium, Dalinar tells Navani, Jasnah and Fen that he is not ready for the contest and means to seek Honor's power as a third option. Cultivation visited him on the way to the meeting, urging him into the Spiritual Realm to live the Radiants' past and find what defeated Odium before; Wit privately corroborates the location and the cost.SA:WaT:Ch 21
conditional-permission-to-walk-spiritual-realmThe Stormfather grants Dalinar conditional permission to walk the Spiritual Realm and relive the past as Cultivation urged — *you may see our shame* — but warns him off claiming Honor's power itself and admits that once inside, the spren will not be able to control where the realm takes him. Wit hands him a Silverlight Mercantile clock and a Connection trick so the realm cannot eat his sense of time.SA:WaT:Ch 22
ascension-passing-on-possible-but-rareWit tells Dalinar that voluntarily passing a Shard to another after Ascension is technically possible — *it has been done once, by a mortal who gave up the power*, the most selfless act Wit believes he has ever witnessed — but extremely difficult, because once one is a god it is nearly impossible to let go. Dalinar frames his own attempt around this: if Honor's power changes him too much after the contest, he will find another and give it up.SA:WaT:Ch 25
body-pulled-into-spiritual-realm-without-anchorWhen Mraize collapses the perpendicularity from above, Dalinar's and Navani's Stormlight tethers to the Physical Realm snap and they are carried bodily — not just in mind — into the Spiritual Realm, with no anchor by which to return.SA:WaT:Ch 32
bondsmith-touch-grants-adolin-azish-comprehensionDuring the parley at the Azimir dome, Adolin discovers that the Bondsmith touch his father gave him before the trip lets him both *understand* and *speak* perfect Azish in the moment — the inflections and nuance entering his mind as if he were a native. Noura and Yanagawn read the change immediately; they are, Adolin realises, used to dealing with Dalinar.SA:WaT:Ch 37
trapped-in-spiritual-realm-without-tether-homeThe perpendicularity Dalinar and Navani opened at Urithiru severed his anchor; he is now stranded in the Spiritual Realm without a tether back. Perpendicularities, as Wit warned him, do not work in the homeward direction. Time runs unevenly: an hour of in-vision life can match seconds outside, or hours, or whole days lost to floating in warmth.SA:WaT:Ch 43
bondsmith-can-feel-the-web-of-connections-around-himDalinar discovers that, as a Bondsmith adrift in the Spiritual Realm, he can reach for Stormlight and feel the web of his own Connections as bright white lines — strong ones to Navani and the Stormfather among them — which he can grasp like rungs to pull himself toward distant bonded people.SA:WaT:Ch 55
takes-nale-debt-token-as-anchorCornered as the dugout vision unravels, Dalinar snatches the small inscribed stone disc — a Makabaki ox-debt token marking a larger promise — that Nale long ago left with Jezrien, and uses its Connection to Nale to anchor the next jump of his pilgrimage through the Spiritual Realm, over the Stormfather's pleading.SA:WaT:Ch 58
plan-to-anchor-on-honorbladeWitnessing the founding of the Oathpact, Dalinar realises that ten eternal Honorblades are about to be forged — one of them into the hands of Kalak, the body he is wearing in this vision. He decides the Blade itself, persistent across Desolations and tied to every Herald who follows, will be the anchor he needs to carry him forward thousands of years to the death of Honor.SA:WaT:Ch 62
forces-vision-via-stormfather-connectionWith the Honorblade anchors burned out and the Stormfather refusing to help further, Dalinar seizes the line of light Connecting him to the spren in one hand and the line Connecting him to Navani in the other, and — *like the giant in the Thaylen story who pulls the sun up by a cord each morning* — strains the two together. The Stormfather is not just an anchor, Dalinar decides; he is *the pathway.* The vision shatters and reforms in Urithiru on the eve of the Recreance.SA:WaT:Ch 77
recognises-jezrien-as-ahu-the-beggarIn a vision of the night Gavilar died, Dalinar kneels by his old drinking companion Ahu outside the Kholinar palace's Beggars' Feast and recognises him at last as Jezrien — *the king of Heralds had been here, this night of all nights* — beard grown long, hair knotted, asking Dalinar in a moment of lucidity *have you seen me — the man I was — I would be him again.*SA:WaT:Ch 88
sees-no-treaty-peace-survives-odiums-spiteHolding Gav in a storm of Honor's power, Dalinar asks it to show him what happens if he wins the contest — and watches a thousand variants of the answer. Odium keeps his word and grinds the humans inside his lands into the dust until their kin demand reprisal; humans always break first; the cycle restarts. He concludes that any peace via contract is a bandage on a gut wound, and that he needs power enough to deal with Odium personally.SA:WaT:Ch 88
lives-the-elhokar-confrontation-from-elhokars-bodyDropped into a Spiritual Realm vision in Elhokar's body and seeing Elhokar's features in the mirror, Dalinar finally feels his nephew's interiority — the fear of going mad, the longing for the Blackthorn's respect, the resignation of *my death will serve Alethkar* — and is beaten on the throne-room floor by his own younger self, no longer fit enough to hold his ground in Plate.SA:WaT:Ch 91
refuses-to-be-broken-by-rathalas-replaysTrapped inside an Odium-driven replay of the night Evi burned, Dalinar meets Rathalas not by repeating it but by walking through the doorway and giving new orders — calling Kadash off the rim, telling the troops at the bottom of the Rift to stand aside and pull people out of the fires, then knocking Sadeas flat with a punch through his helm. He refuses to take the Rift as the moment that defines him; *which of us,* he asks, *do you want to be the real Dalinar?*SA:WaT:Ch 99
realises-taravangian-is-the-new-odiumA mountain-tall shadow falls across him in the Spiritual Realm and speaks with Taravangian's voice. Dalinar understands at once that the king he once called friend has taken up Odium's shard — a piece he had been missing — and recognises that with the contest approaching they may already be doomed: of every soul he can imagine holding that power, none is more dangerous to him.SA:WaT:Ch 99
honor-rejected-dalinar-as-vesselIn the small monastery vision, Dalinar holds his hands out and tries to accept the Shard of Honor. The power watches and refuses him with two words: *No. Humans break oaths.* The Shard is not for the taking; the contest is the only weapon left to him.SA:WaT:Ch 126
dalinar-forgave-the-stormfather-and-tanavastStanding in a small chamber inside the vision, Dalinar forces himself to forgive the Stormfather for the centuries of silence and obfuscation, and forgives Tanavast for fleeing the final confrontation with Rayse: *many would have burned this planet to prove themselves right. He ran. I've known plenty of soldiers who lacked the bravery to run when they should have.*SA:WaT:Ch 126
leaves-for-the-contest-carrying-the-way-of-kingsBefore climbing the last stairs to the tower roof, Dalinar tells Sebarial that his brother Gavilar was a liar, and that protecting Alethkar alone is no longer the goal — Odium must be defeated in full, *with oaths and light.* He slips Nohadon's book from the table and carries it up the stairs.SA:WaT:Ch 129
sees-through-honors-eyes-on-the-tower-roofOn the tower roof at the crux of two storms, Dalinar feels the people of Alethkar and beyond — their fear, love, dreams, pain — and understands the deepest lie Taravangian tells: that only great men carry difficult choices. He then sees through the eyes of Honor itself, the agony of every mortal who has failed it, and announces to the Stormfather that he knows the Words.SA:WaT:Ch 137
speaks-the-bondsmith-words-to-honorOn the roof of Urithiru at the crux of two storms, Dalinar looks through the eyes of the power of Honor itself, accepts that he is the *uniter* who has kept oaths, slams his hands together to open a perpendicularity, and speaks the Bondsmith Words the power has waited for — *I understand you.* Lines of light tether him to something distant and not-here.SA:WaT:Ch 139
ascends-as-vessel-of-honorAt the open perpendicularity atop Urithiru, with the betrayal that had broken Tanavast finally undone by Renarin and Rlain's release of Ba-Ado-Mishram, Dalinar is taken up as the new Vessel of Honor — the shattered Shard at last receiving the human Connection it had ostracized itself searching for.SA:WaT:Ch 141
refuses-to-destroy-odium-with-honors-powerWith Honor's power held in him long enough to see he can probably defeat Taravangian in single combat — and watching the friction between the two godhoods begin to crack Urithiru and the mountains around it — Dalinar recognizes the destruction of his very first vision as himself, refuses the clash, and chooses instead to find a way that does not consume Roshar with it.SA:WaT:Ch 142
renounces-his-oaths-and-honors-contract-with-odiumAtop Urithiru, holding the power of Honor for mere minutes, Dalinar breaks the contract he had signed with Odium and every oath Honor itself had made with him. *Keeping an oath is not an ultimate good — it is only as good as the ideals it is sworn to.* The power tears free of him, betrayed a second time; Taravangian vaporizes the Stormfather; and the gambit's trap closes around the freed enemy.SA:WaT:Ch 143
dies-shielding-gavinor-with-his-bodyStripped of Honor's power and torn by the winds of Retribution's rage atop Urithiru, Dalinar crawls back against the wind and dies covering Gavinor with his body — sheltering the unconscious boy from the storm. His soul slips out of Retribution's grasp and into the Beyond before he can be made an Unmade of.SA:WaT:Ch 145

SA:WaT:Ch 129 Dalinar kisses Navani, answers Sebarial that Gavilar was a liar, takes up Nohadon's book, and starts up the last short stairs to the rooftop.
SA:WaT:Ch 145 A corpse beside the stone railing of the rooftop, ripped clothes, bloodied body, shielding the unconscious Gavinor beneath him with the last of himself. His soul, infused with power, lingers a moment in Retribution's grasp — then slips into the Beyond, claimed by another.
SA:WaT:Ch 146 Lies on blood-soaked blankets on the roof of Urithiru — face upward, eyes closed, the killing wounds across his back — and is hugged a final time by his younger son before being carried down to be Soulcast to stone.
SA:WoR:Ch 14 Adolin checks the seats above the sand and sees his father watching.
SA:WoR:Ch 22 Retires with Navani into the windowless side chamber for the duration of the storm; emerges with no new vision-glyphs to show Kaladin this time.
SA:WoR:Ch 22 Walks the dark switchback with Kaladin only as far as his accusation — then sends him on alone and turns back to the palace to think.
SA:WoR:Ch 23 Calls Kaladin out onto the balcony, agrees the railing was sabotaged, and assigns him the king's guard ahead of schedule.
SA:WoR:Ch 29 Watches his son's bout from a seat within shouting distance of Sadeas's; pointedly does not look at him.
SA:WoR:Ch 32 Wakes from his storm-vision when Kaladin reaches for him, agrees to evacuate on the bodyguard's instinct alone, snatches a spear and takes the middle of a trident charge — and at the end, dropped to one knee and weaponless, catches the assassin's overhead Shardblade strike between his palms.
SA:WoR:Ch 33 Cleaned up — split cheek stitched, broken nose plugged — meets Kaladin's eyes when he limps in alive, and accepts the lie of omission about who the assassin really came for.

SA:WoR:Ch 56 Sits beside the king in the stands without Plate; when Sadeas baits him to enter the arena himself, Elhokar holds him back, and instead he charges down the steps to bully the highjudge into stopping the fight.
SA:WoR:Ch 58 Argues Kaladin down to prison rather than execution, then rounds on him in private and tells him seventeen witnesses say Amaram won his Blade only four months ago and that the bridgeman is simply wrong.
SA:WoR:Ch 62 Visits the cell hands-clasped, tells Kaladin to consider his confinement a guard duty, and leaves him with a charge to win Elhokar over by example rather than spectacle.
SA:WoR:Ch 66 Waits at the edge of the crowd outside the prison and watches Kaladin pensively as the bridgemen welcome him out.
SA:WoR:Ch 68 Leads the expedition out from the warcamp; talks with the vaulter about a glowing flying man, with Kaladin about Renarin and bridges, and on the target plateau dispatches scouts to chart the way east.
SA:WoR:Ch 71 Stops at the chasm on his way to inspect the eastern battalions, tells Teft that no one survives a two-hundred-foot fall, and offers a hand-to-shoulder salute to the dead.
SA:WoR:Ch 75 Joins Navani in the sitting room to ask Shallan to expand her map, hears her conditions, and accepts both — she rides with them, and the parshmen do not.
SA:WoR:Ch 77 Holds an umbrella for Navani at the carriage door and pats her arm before she climbs in.
SA:WoR:Ch 78 Comes in under an aide's umbrella, dismisses the room, watches Shallan's living Lightweaving of Jasnah form above her palm with an awespren ringing his head, and tells her quietly that they are returning.
SA:WoR:Ch 80 Calls back the vanguard, takes the council's argument, and decides for the march inward — then tells Shallan alone that her portal is the army's only contingency.
SA:WoR:Ch 81 Refuses the umbrella, names Aladar Highprince of War, gives the speech of the Almighty from Gallant's saddle, and orders the attack the instant Rlain names the rhythm as one of destruction.
SA:WoR:Ch 82 Hears the voice correct him — it is not the Almighty — commandeers a horse to ride for Roion's collapsing northern flank, and orders Navani to execute her plan now.
SA:WoR:Ch 83 Takes a spear in the shoulder saving Roion, goads the voice from his visions into a full conversation under Navani's pavilion, and is told by the Stormfather that this is the end.
SA:WoR:Ch 85 Stalks toward his disintegrating command tent in the wind and rain, hears Peet's relay of Shallan's warning about two converging storms, orders all forces pulled to the round plateau, and stares west into red lightning before Adolin is hurled through tent fabric at his feet.
SA:WoR:Ch 86 Lifted broken-ribbed into Gallant's saddle, organises the army's evacuation across the chasms toward the round plateau, lets Sebarial go on herding Roion's leaderless men, and cannot find the heart to deflate Aladar's pride over winning the Vengeance Pact.
SA:WoR:Ch 87 Supervises Navani's scribes blasting spanreed warnings about the Everstorm to every warcamp and city — and admits, voice tense, that the king has vanished and Kholinar is in a state of riot.
SA:WoR:Ch 89 Stands in the shadowed family home of his boyhood, opens the balcony doors onto a piercing warmth he can stare into without being blinded, and wakes alone in his temporary Urithiru rooms a week into the exploration of the tower.

foreshadowsThe Nightwatcher — Dalinar's resolve at the end of Gavilar's funeral to seek the Old Magic foreshadows his actual pilgrimage to the Nightwatcher (and the Stormfather will later reveal it was the Nightwatcher's mistress, Cultivation, who answered him). SA:OB:Ch 105

foreshadowsHighprince of War — Asks Elhokar to revive the office and is told to prove the highprinces will follow first SA:WoK:Ch 17

foreshadowsEshonai — The silvery, peaked-armored Parshendi Shardbearer asks Adolin, by name, to arrange a parley with Dalinar, claiming to have met him long ago — the request sets up a meeting central to the book's politics. SA:WoR:Ch 26
