This was motivated by several factors, chief among them the fact that all other Alethi wives joined their husbands on the campaign trail, and that Dalinar spent too little time with his children. Although he tried to convince her that the battlefield was no place for her, she insisted on staying.{{book ref\|sa3\|52}} From then on out, she would spend half of every year with Dalinar -- and, later, Adolin -- in his war camps, and the other half in [[Kholinar]] with Renarin, who was too sickly to take on the road. Her Riran accent began to fade at the time, though she would sometimes switch back to her native language.{{book ref\|sa3\|66}} Although outwardly it appeared that she and Dalinar were a loving couple, by {{Rosharan date\|1163}} the two of them were more at odds than ever. Evi wanted the killing to end, and for the family to return to Alethkar and rest; Dalinar sought to continue making war. This culminated in a major fight between them, which ended with Evi breaking into tears. In an attempt to console her, Dalinar promised that after quelling the new rebellion in [[Rathalas]], they would return to Kholinar for at least a year.{{book ref\|sa3\|66}} Moreover, to respect her wishes to be more peaceful, he initially tried bargaining with [[Tanalan]].{{book ref\|sa3\|71}} Unfortunately, this was not to be. Tanalan betrayed Dalinar, attempting to kill him after sending him out to investigate rumors of a [[highprince]] that had betrayed ~~the~~ [[Gavilar]]. When Dalinar returned after digging himself out of a deep pile of rubble, Evi was already beginning to mourn him and grew even more distressed when he began his plan to take revenge, leading to him ordering his men to escort her out of the command tent to somewhere safe.{{book ref\|sa3\|75}} Unbeknownst to him, she snuck out and went to the city to plead with Tanalan for peace. The young highprince detained her in his former safehouse, now turned city prison. When Dalinar set flame to the Rift, Evi died in the flames, with Dalinar finding out far too late to even attempt saving her.{{book ref\|sa3\|76}} ▲{{image\|Dalinar and Evi 2 by Botanicaxu.jpg\|side=left\|width=250px}} === Legacy === \|Dalinar{{book ref\|sa3\|114}} }} {{image\|Dalinar and Evi 2 by Botanicaxu.jpg\|side=right\|width=250px}} Evi's body was recovered from the ruins to be given a proper burial. Dalinar created a story to mitigate everyone's conjectures, claiming that she was kidnapped by Tanalan's men and that the Rift was burned in retribution for this.{{book ref\|sa3\|76}} The story would later change, with [[Torol Sadeas]], who was fighting alongside Dalinar at the time, taking the blame for burning the city.{{book ref\|sa3\|96}} Both Dalinar and Sadeas were publicly censured by King [[Gavilar]] for the loss of Rathalas.{{book ref\|sa3\|88}} == Trivia == * In ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', Dalenar (proto-[[Dalinar]]) likewise has a dead wife, though she is called Kalkanah rather than Evi. Very little is known about her, only that she would be furious if Dalenar were to dirty their house, and Dalenar did not forget her, nor did her death crush him as badly as Evi's crushed Dalinar.{{book ref\|wok prime\|52}} * If she had joined the [[Knights Radiant]], she would most likely be an [[Order of Edgedancers\|Edgedancer]] or a [[Order of Truthwatchers\|Truthwatcher]].{{wob ref\|15262}} == Notes == {{partial}} {{Stormlight}} [[es:Evi Kholin]]
