Kaladin and the members of [[Bridge Four]] listen to a crier read Dalinar's proclamation. The proclamation states that all [[Gemheart|gemhearts]] won in battle will now belong to the king, and shares of that wealth will be apportioned at the Crown’s discretion. The men are concerned that this will sow even more discontent among the highprinces, making their job as bodyguards to Dalinar more difficult. Kaladin orders [[Rock]] to start training cooks for the other bridgeman barracks, hoping it will make them less despondent, then heads to the [[Pinnacle]] to relieve [[Skar|Skar's]] team. On the way, [[Syl]] worries that Kaladin no longer laughs.
 
Once at the king's palace, Kaladin is allowed to stay for a meeting consisting of [[Dalinar]], [[Elhokar|King Elhokar]], [[Adolin]], [[Navani]], [[Renarin]], General [[General Khal]], and his wife [[Teshav]]. Teshav reports that the highprinces are irate. They had hoped that Dalinar would reconsider, and sending the proclamation out to the public has provoked them. Elhokar says that it is a disaster, and fears that they'll be dead before the week is out. Dalinar says he'll unite the kingdom or destroy it trying. The proclamation was made in order to re-focus the highprinces’ attention on the war, and Dalinar did this knowing that it would enrage them. He wants the highprinces angry, to remind them of why they came to the Shattered Plains in the first place. He then announces his intention to "disarm" the highprinces by having Adolin begin dueling for the [[Shardblade|Shardblades]] and [[Shardplate]] in their armies. Lastly, when prompted on his endgame, Dalinar states his intention to refound the Radiants. He isn’t sure why exactly he needs to do this, but he knows he has to.
 
Meanwhile, Torol Sadeas sits in front of an elaborate stone table with [[Oathbringer]] stuck through it. He thinks about how often he had lusted after the weapon, but now possessing it feels hollow. His wife [[Ialai Sadeas|Ialai]] enters the room, and mentions that she has used Dalinar's heavy recruitment drive to more place more spies in his war camp. They talk about how the other highprinces hate the proclamation, and plan to fan the flames of discontent. Torol wants conquest. He plans to let Dalinar alienate the other highprinces and fracture the kingdom, at which point he will "forge a new Alethkar from flame and tears".
