Like all Alethi princes, the Kholins are descended from the [[Sunmaker]] Sadees. The title of the Kholin Highprince has been held by 34 generations.{{book ref|sa3|105}} However, they did not begun their expansion until around roughly 1139, when [[Gavilar]] and [[Dalinar]] Kholin led a conquest against the other [[Highprince]]s of Alethkar, eventually consolidating the whole nation into a kingdom in the year 1148. {{book ref|sa3|3}} {{book ref|sa3|26}}
A year into this war for unification, House Kholin looked for allies, and found them in Toh and Evi, a western Brightlord and his sister. Evi married into the Kholin family in order to secure an alliance, though they would remain merely betrothed into several years later.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
Gavilar Kholin took the Alethi crown, and married [[Navani]], siring [[Jasnah]] and [[Elhokar]], while Dalinar, as his younger brother, married [[Evi]] and had [[Adolin]] and [[Renarin]] with her. Following Gavilar's [[Szeth|assassination]] in 1167, Elhokar, as the sole male heir, succeeded the throne.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Some time before his father's death, he had married [[Aesudan]] and had a single son, [[Gavinor]] in the early years of the [[War of Reckoning]].▼

Following Gavilar's [[Szeth|assassination]] in 1167, Elhokar, as the sole male heir, succeeded the throne.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Some time before his father's death, he had married [[Aesudan]] and had a single son, [[Gavinor]] in the early years of the [[War of Reckoning]]. In response to the assassination of Gavilar, the Vengeance Pact was issued between the Ten Highprinces, including Dalinar Kholin, starting the War of Reckoning. Following this, the Elhokar, Dalinar, Adolin, and Renarin moved to the [[Shattered Planes]] in order to assist in the war efforts, and with this the seat of power shifted to the Shattered Planes{{book ref|sa2|67}}. Navani eventually moved to the Shattered Planes as well, after several years of remaining at Kholinar to assist Aesudan.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
In {{Rosharan date|1173}}, during the [[War of Reckoning]], Navani attempted to court Dalinar, picking up their mutual interest in each other from their younger days, that had only been allowed to lapse because Dalinar had stepped aside in favour of Gavilar. Their courtship was frowned upon by the [[ardentia]] but nevertheless maintained and culminated in them being married in [[Urithiru]] by the [[Stormfather]], as no ardent was willing to perform the rites. Afterwards, Dalinar was titled a highking, giving up his claim to the princedom and making Adolin the Kholin highprince.▼
After Navani left, Aesudan began to fall into an abyss of decadence, and was corrupted by Ashertmarn and Yelig-nar. She threw lavish feasts, reveling in excess, and allowing food sent in by farmers for the soldiers at the Shattered Planes to rot away. This turned the populace to turn against her, and made the city fall into decay.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}
An assassination attempt was made on Dalinar by Szeth, Gavilar's assassin, under the orders of [[Taravangian]]. This failed due to the assistance of Adolin and [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|sa2|32}}
Late into the War of Reckoning, Dalinar began to see visions left by [[Honor]], which culminated in him creating a Nahel Bond with the [[Stormfather]] and becoming a Bondsmith.

The [[siege of Kholinar]] claimed the life of Elhokar at the hands of [[Moash]]{{book ref|sa3|84}}, but his child and heir, [[Gavinor]], was rescued by [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]].{{book ref|sa3|122}} Around the time of Elhokar's death, his wife perished as well, being consumed by the power of [[Yelig-nar]], with whom she had entered a bond shortly before and proved unable to control the overwhelming power of the [[Unmade]] within her.
After the [[battle of Thaylen Field]] Dalinar asked Adolin to be king, but as he did not believe himself to be capable, Jasnah was crowned queen instead.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
When [[Shallan Davar]] becomes Jasnah's ward, in order to protect Shallan's family from their creditors and political adversaries, Jasnah orchestrates a causal betrothal between her ward and Adolin.{{book ref|sa2|1}} This eventually culminated in their marriage after the battle of Thaylen Field, bringing together House Kholin and House Davar.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
Six months after the Battle of Thaylen Field, Jasnah and Dalinar met with Relu-na and his son Talik in order to create an alliance with the Reshi.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}
Jasnah, Dalinar, and Renarin went to a military expedition in Emul against Tukar and the Voidbringers, in order to gain Emul as an ally.
