=== Expedition to Lasting Integrity ===

==== Leave-takings ====

Adolin and Shallan decided to only take a few attendants each, to keep the expedition small.{{book ref|sa4|20}} When he was getting ready, Adolin had trouble deciding what to wear. Shallan teased him about it and gave him an hour to meet the others. Adolin quickly decided and used the time to stop by Kaladin and call him Alethkar's most eligible bachelor. Adolin then reassured Kaladin that it was okay to step away from the front line, and take the time he needed.When leaving, Syl advised to be careful as the Honorspren could be hard to persuade with logic if they feel something is right or not.{{book ref|sa4|21}}

 

After finishing with his equipment, Adolin checked on his men, all chosen for their levelheadedness. The [[Stump]] was the last of the Radiants to arrive, and Adolin walked up to the people seeing off the expedition. He watches as Jasnah supervised a last soulcasting exercise by the Lightweavers. When ready, Dalinar gave a short speech wishing the expedition a good trip into Shadesmar, followed by words from Jasnah and Taravangian. The group entered the Oathgate building. Adolin lingered last to have a conversation with his father.{{book ref|sa4|21}}

 

Dalinar started by thanking Adolin for taking care of Gallant. Their talk took a turn when they disagreed on whether Dalinar was disappointed in Adolin or not. Dalinar wanted his son to become the best man he could be, while Adolin would rather be his own person without being defined by his father. When Dalinar hinted at Adolin's murder of Sadeas, Adolin thought of the death of [[Evi]]. This made him realize that it was his mother's fate that was the cause of his feelings for his father, whom he couldn't forgive. Despite their diverging views on morality, Dalinar expressed his confidence that Adolin would succeed. He then entered the control building, where Shallan moved them to Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
