[176], Kaladin continued to experience severe nightmares and visions while in hiding. The next day, a majority of the men followed his orders to rise out of bed and practice. He tried to consume Stormlight from a nearby gem, but failed. I think Kaladins new role as a surgeon will lead to him swearing the 4th ideal. When he returned to his barracks, he found Elhokar there, and they conversed about Elhokar's confidence as king. They bantered for a bit, Kaladin assuming Shallan's life was easy and pampered. He wanted a medical revolution, but his father cautioned that change was hard. He entered as well, and they fought while a Singer soldier activated a device that blocked the Radiants' powers. Dalinar noticed Kaladin, and asked Amaram, who was nearby, to come speak with him. This led Moash to flee, and the light faded to show Renarin, who took Kaladin back to the airship. Kaladin's advice to Adolin to help Shallan, Kaladin about members of other bridge crews, Kaladin yelling before helping Dalinar's army, Kaladin to Dalinar before jumping into the arena, Kaladin to Dalinar about Shallan after they fell into the chasms, This article is still missing information. In the swords presence, Lift feels a sudden, terrible nausea. They were immediately sent the next run. When he snapped out of his trance, Syl asked him if he knew the Words. King Elhokar came by to watch the training to ask Kaladin to join the Kholinar mission. Before either man could discuss it further, Lopen pointed out that Kaladin was glowing. [18] He is also prone to seasonal depression, feeling a sense of heavy melancholy during the weeks of the Weeping.[19]. She admitted that the final decision isn't with her, as she is just a messenger, but that he will find out once they reach their destination. Kaladin helped put the rest of Moash's armor on and agreed to help "accomplish their task." [93][94], Kaladin continued to lead training of the bridge crews, and assigned Teft to train Bridge Seventeen in the chasms. Kal joined Tien to view the procession of a dozen wagons and a carriage. Lift had slipped in and was helping Godeke leave, and Kal asked her to bring the device to Navani. However, Kaladin insisted that it was fine and tossed a small bag of spheres to the tattooist. This angered Kaladin, leaving him unsatisfied with Dalinars promise. Among the caravan was Rock's family, who are introduced to Bridge Four. [121] Later, Bridge Four went to train and hold try-outs on the Shattered Plains, with Rock providing food & drinks. Ever since childhood, Kaladin has had a strong protective instinct, which only grows once he begins discovering and swearing the Immortal Words. [131] Over the meal, the guards tried to recruit Kaladin with offers of regular meals and comradery. On the next bridge run, the youth and the last man that survived Kaladins initial bridge run died, leaving Kaladin the senior member of Bridge Four. [160], The highmarshal escorted his father up the ramp of the Fourth Bridge and introduced him to Dalinar and Navani. [23], Kaladin also possesses a capable mind as a military commander. 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. [187][57] Kaladin destroyed the Pursuer's reputation, deeming him "the Defeated One", and defeated him by humiliating him. They went to search. Kaladin was in a broody mood and barely talked, despite Adolin's urging, while the group made their way to the land that represented the Windrunner River in the Physical Realm. While recovering, Teft brought three infused spheres telling Kaladin he couldnt leave them. [49] He also has a basic grasp of neurological disorders like epilepsy. Can we go to that!.." During the fight, Kaladin was suddenly hit with a club by a Fused hidden nearby. He is famed as the captain of Highprince Dalinar Kholin's personal guard, a unit known as Bridge Four, and commander of the bridgemen battalion. Years later, Kaladin still feels remorse because of his inability to help Tien. , Don't worry. He was reinstated briefly as highmarshal during the occupation,[59] although he renounces command again upon the retaking of the tower. Syl stayed close to Kaladin, just in case he needed to summon her. They moved to the edge of the plateau, and Zahel gave Kaladin a lecture on Realmatic Theory, explaining how he, the Heralds, and the Fused were all Type Two Invested entities. As such, he was granted an area of land on the Deathbend River. Kaladin just collapsed, knowing he should move or at least bind his wounds, but he just couldnt, falling unconscious instead. He killed the Pursuer in a rage, while a Heavenly One took Lirin up to the top of Urithiru. While the prince was able to reach Dalinar and save him, a carpenter from Sadeas' camp pulled an emergency lever, which caused the bridge to collapse and sent Kaladin and Shallan to plummet into the chasms. Another creature appeared and Kaladin Lashed himself straight toward the stormwall. [65], Somebody has to start. In addition to splitting his time between battlefronts in southern Alethkar and Azir, he oversaw the Windrunner training at Urithiru and organized patrols to watch the coalition fleets from the skies. Who cares for them? They seized the Sunwalk and the eastern gallery, using Shallan's illusions to fake their death, and meet the others in the palace. Lacking a sufficient number of bridges to cross the chasms and with the timing of the assault desynchronized, the battle was thrown into chaos and Sadeas lost. But I'll see what I can do. [35], In addition to the Lashings, Kaladin is able to use his Surges to create a pocket of calm within a highstorm. Rock agreed it had been good to wait and give his family time to rest, but now he had to return to his people. Zahel offered Kaladin the chance to train under him, but Kaladin declined. He jokingly told Kaladin he should ride Dreamstorm, a wild and violent horse. [8] Like most Rosharans, Kaladin's eyes have an epicanthic fold[9] that appear faintly colored amber when he is holding Stormlight. He finally did speak the Fourth Ideal after leaping after his father from a tower in Urithiru, which granted him his armor. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. However, the amount of time Lirin spent with books and sick people, coupled with their class disparity, made people uncomfortable to be around Lirin and Kal, by association. It's gonna be choosing todedicatethemselves to something. He will have a patient or patients that he cannot save. [12][73], Days passed and the wagons continued to roll on until one particular day when they didnt stop at their usual time, leaving Kaladin to wonder why they hadnt stopped for their afternoon slop. Despite these challenges, or perhaps because of them, Kaladin is driven to protect others. [29], Kaladin has had a varied social standing throughout his life. Kaladin found himself walking around Sadeas warcamp an hour later, still worried about his dream. While walking to the field, Kaladin made a short detour to visit Rlain on the growing fields. There, the townspeople had gathered for a town meeting. Zahel commended Kaladin for his quick thinking, but claimed it would not be enough against a Shardbearer. He has had enough of the war and his struggle with his addiction. [40], Upon his departure from Hearthstone, Kaladin pursued the Voidbringers. Finally, she finished, and started helping Kaladin climb up, as his leg was weakened. Now go to work and stop complaining! [16], In four years, I will bring him home safely. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. The Second Ideal Also known as an Ideal of Protection. Teft denied doing anything, pointing out that Kaladin had been feeding off Stormlight since hed been sick. Kaladin's younger brother, due to the difference in nahn between his family and the rest of the town Kaladin had no real friends growing up and instead would spend time with Tien. He was watching Elhokar starting to speak the First Ideal, when Moash came in and killed the king. Syl returned to tell Kaladin there were many others like him nearby. For Kaladin I'm guessing that it'll probably come off the surgeon training and be something along the lines of "I will only protect those that I can". Zahel berated the prince for his carelessness. Adolin's support of Kaladin is highlighted after Kaladin is relieved of duty as Highmarshal, resulting in Kaladin's depression worsening, and Adolin insists he accompany him to winehouses and various outings. His mother was impressed by the results, and Kaladin explained how it was important to be able to speak with someone who actually understood what you felt. [96], How long had it been since he felt this good, this triumphant, this alive?, One night, Kaladin strolled along the Shattered Plains, looking for the place at which he met Wit, months before. They sat for awhile, Kaladin considering her words and what Tien could possibly like about the rain, when Lirin came with news that there was a gathering in the square. The squires are also more powerful than those of the other Orders. However, he blamed himself when the countdown to the Everstorm continued to appear. Kal told her of his fathers plans to send him to Kharbranth to train to become a surgeon. As he left his cell, Kaladin realized Adolin had locked himself up, in protest of Kaladin's imprisonment. The sky and the winds are mine, I claim them. Kaladin suggested that they use chips since they were weighed before being encased in glass. [110] Kaladin walked through the empty camp, and tried to put his losses behind him. Kaladin seems to enjoy the encounters with him and even asked for a story in when they meet in his nightmare, something Wit says people almost never do. Kaladin talked to the patient Noril, and could relate to his depression. [109], With the Weeping underway, Kaladin felt the darkness return. In the end Leshwi defeated Sigzil but spared his life in return for the Fused Kaladin had spared. When Kaladin and Adolin exited the room, Bridge Four was there to greet them, saluting and cheering. As time passes, the two of them grow closer together, with Shallan admitting that Veil is attracted to him. Instead, Kaladin gave the Shards to Coreb and walked away. Kaladin, undeterred by the mens resistance, went off to the lumberyard to train by himself. Sorry about the damage to the packaging. In the chasms, Kaladin continued to build rapport with the men, bringing Dunny into the fold, who sang for the men while others hovered behind. He then talked with Syl, about the ship and why she was wearing a disguise. Kaladin escaped to the underground reservoir and attempted to get to his hidden room but was at risk of being surrounded by singers. There, Kaladin met Durk, who became a mentor to him. But rather than returning to Dalinar's camp, he traveled to Sadeas', realizing he could kill Amaram right then and there. , Men are unreliable in many things. [171], While still at a tavern in Urithiru, the capture of Urithiru began when Teft fell unconscious and slipped into a coma. Before Hoid left, he gave Kaladin a Trailman's flute and charged him with looking after his apprentice, Sigzil, who he now graduated to a full Worldsinger. [26] Syl changed colors to mimic a Voidspren in order to distract the singer guards so Kaladin could steal a spanreed. [13], Authority doesn't come from a rank. Sah's little girl, Vai, brings Kaladin some water and she asks him why his people won't leave them alone. Later a scout came with an urgent message. Kaladin settled on a needle and gut as well as some bandages, spending the four marks he had left from paying Gaz off. The bridgeboy called his companion a fool and suggested they needed to get him a spren, saying that getting rid of his Shardblade would help; Adolin refused this adamantly. While taking a break, Kaladin noticed Shallan enter, who had come to update the Shardblade and Plate record. narnarnartiger 2 yr. ago. She informed Kaladin that Bridge Four would now go on every bridge run, citing they were a model for the other crews. [118], Over the next few days, Kaladin spent his time showing the parshmen how to cook food, bind wounds, and build equipment. He sucked in the Stormlight from Khen's pouch and took the pouch from her. [13] His Plate glows blue at the seams, and is emblazoned with the glyph of Bridge Four on the chest. [178], Kaladin, unsure whether he was risking exposing himself to the Pursuer, decided to find the node anyways. In return, he requests a horse to go hunt the parshmen and tells Roshone that he can't stay. Syl explained how this new job was helping Kal. I will protect even those I hate, Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. Unsure of who to trust, Dalinar asked Kaladin to familiarize himself with how the Kings Guard works and to learn from them. One day, when Kaladin was lying on the roof during the rain after repairing a leak, Tien called up to him, wanting to join him. They discussed the reason for Moash's hatred towards the King, and Kaladin agreed to meet with the Moash's partners. As Kaladin was rubbing the blackbane leaves between his fingers, Syl asked him what he had. Kal started treating her, but it was too late as Miasal died from blood loss due to multiple severe wounds. [58], Kaladin started his efforts by focusing on the men with similar symptoms as Noril, battle fatigue, nightmares and melancholy. He never kills unnecessarily, and never risks his own life for frivolous reasons. [36], During the exchange with the guards, something crashed into Kaladin, tossing him backwards. They anesthetized both patients, Roshone for surgery and Rillir for mercy. Dalinar then announced that the Knights Radint had been reestablished, with Amaram at their head. He forces himself to relive his grief every time someone close to him is killed. Hesina informed Kaladin that they only spent the spheres to make Roshone think he was winning, not because they needed to. Kaladin bribed Gare to transfer Cenn, a young and inexperienced soldier, to Kaladins own squad, whom he entrusted to his sergeant Dallet. Adolin returned, and he and Veil talked about the ongoing wedding party and how Kaladin didn't notice the bar staff. They scanned the terrain and noticed the Fused from before near the manor go after some civilians. [12] Tukks explained about how many soldiers struggle with the need to hurt the enemy. [48], Two years later, Kal and Laral were talking somewhere east of Hearthstone while Tien gathered rocks nearby. However, his efforts werent as successful as the first time he donned the armor. Kaladin followed, using Navani's fabrial, whereupon the Heavenly One grew frightened and dropped Lirin. [It comes] from the men who give it to you. [63], Kal went with his parents to the town square to await the arrival of Citylord Roshone. Meanwhile, the spearmens training advanced rapidly, with Moash and Skar emerging as the most skilled. I think Kaladins new role as a surgeon will lead to him swearing the 4th ideal. [69] As they fall, Kaladin managed to suck in a small amount of Stormlight, saving his life. They were met with a tense dinner gathering. Look at that! Kaladin requested the map and without even reading it, he ripped it into pieces, much to Tvlakvs horror. Yixli spoke highly of him, but the scribe said that the Fused would have to label him free. Due to his recent struggles, Kaladin shows hostility and resentment, although at times his wit, sarcasm, and intelligence show through. Kaladin was distressed and at first disagreed, but after a heated argument he had to agree he needed a break from active duty. However, Dalinar Kholin came to their rescue and saluted them as he left. Kal was excited because Jams father was a soldier in Brightlord Amarams army. On his return his next patients was Teft, who couldn't leave with the army. Moash ran to the sparring grounds to practice with Shardplate, and Kaladin rejoined Bridge Four.
