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 Plains]] in order to assist in the war efforts, and with this the seat of power shifted to the Shattered Plains{{book ref|sa2|67}}. Navani eventually moved to the Shattered Plains as well, after several years of remaining at Kholinar to assist Aesudan.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
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, increasing taxes, and allowing food sent in by farmers for the soldiers at the Shattered Plains to rot away. This turned the populace to turn against her, and made the city fall into decay.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}{{book ref|sa3|67}}
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}}
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.{{book ref|sa3|67}}
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}}
