== History ==
[[Adolin]] was more nervous on the day he met Sureblood than on the day he won his [[Mayalaran|Shardblade]] because [[Ryshadium]] choose their own rider. He was young when they bonded; his exact age is not known.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Sureblood and Adolin had a close bond already by {{Rosharan date|1173}}, when they were living in the warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]] and King [[Elhokar]] wanted to go on a [[chasmfiend]] hunt. When the chasmfiend unexpectedly appeared on their plateau, Adolin ran for Sureblood and rode him into the conflict, cutting into the creature's legs as he rode by.{{book ref|sa1|13}} Adolin also rode Sureblood out to skirmishes with the [[Parshendi]] on the Shattered Plains as the [[Alethi]] attempted to win [[gemheart]]s, although he typically led the charge on foot so he could leap the chasms.{{book ref|sa1|26}}
Sureblood carried Adolin to the [[Battle of the Tower]], where [[Sadeas]] abandoned the Kholin army to die.{{book ref|sa1|64}} Although the close-quartered fighting wasn't conducive to mounted attacks, Sureblood served usefully as a ride for a few of the wounded until [[Bridge Four]] gave them an avenue of retreat;{{book ref|sa1|68}} on the way back to the warcamps, he carried Adolin once more.{{book ref|sa1|69}}▼

▲Sureblood carried Adolin to the [[Battle of the Tower]], where [[Torol Sadeas]] abandoned the Kholin army to die.{{book ref|sa1|64}} Although the close-quartered fighting wasn't conducive to mounted attacks, Sureblood served usefully as a ride for a few of the wounded until [[Bridge Four]] gave them an avenue of retreat;{{book ref|sa1|68}} on the way back to the warcamps, he carried Adolin once more.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
Adolin continued to ride Sureblood, though he had less opportunity to ride or to groom the Ryshadium in the stable in the evenings as he was wont to do the more [[Dalinar]] focused on uniting the [[highprince]]s instead of riding out to capture gemhearts.{{book ref|sa2|26}}{{book ref|sa3|10}} He took Sureblood out to a skirmish that only [[Roion]] and [[Ruthar]] were scheduled to go on in order to lend [[Jakamav]], the only other [[Shardbearer]], a hand. When Adolin left his conversation with Jakamav stewing, Sureblood attempted to ease his mood.{{book ref|sa2|26}}
