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.
