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.
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. [[Kaves Kholin]] was also found dead during the siege.
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}}
