(Expanded the history of the House.)
A year into this war for unification, House Kholin looked for allies, and found them in Toh and Evi, a western Brightlord and his sister. Evi married into the Kholin family in order to secure an alliance, though they would remain merely betrothed into several years later.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
 
Gavilar Kholin took the Alethi crown, and married [[Navani]], siring [[Jasnah]] and [[Elhokar]], while Dalinar, as his younger brother, married [[Evi]] and had [[Adolin]] and [[Renarin]] with her. 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 PlanesPlains]] in order to assist in the war efforts, and with this the seat of power shifted to the Shattered PlanesPlains{{book ref|sa2|67}}. Navani eventually moved to the Shattered PlanesPlains 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, and allowing food sent in by farmers for the soldiers at the Shattered PlanesPlains to rot away. This turned the populace to turn against her, and made the city fall into decay.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}
 
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}}
