Sadeas and Dalinar planned to manipulate Highprince [[Vamah]] into using more of Elhokar's [[Soulcaster]]s, proving the two of them could work together in the best interests of the king. Dalinar told Adolin that Sadeas had sworn to protect Elhokar at any cost.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
Dalinar investigated the cut girth strap on the king's saddle, but at one particular king's feast, Elhokar announced that in light of the recent attempt on his life with the saddle, he

Even Dalinar himself was tense at Sadeas' proclamation, given for all in attendance
Next, Sadeas brought out one of the grooms in the king's employ, asking him to repeat what he told Sadeas in private. The [[Fin|groom]] confirmed the saddle had been checked over in Dalinar's camp, but also noted that the horse was wearing a different saddle on the way to Dalinar's camp

Dalinar suggested combining forces, to which Sadeas agreed only after they
As both men approached the Tower they could see the Parshendi had not yet extracted the gemheart from the chrysalis. Sadeas wanted to attack the Tower together, all forty bridges in a single wave.{{book ref|sa1|65}} Dalinar refused, citing the Codes again and saying he
The plan worked well for a time. Sadeas managed to get his forces across the bridges and onto the Tower, carving out a landing platform for Dalinar to follow. Both forces were separated by the Parshendi, Sadeas to the west, Dalinar on the eastern edge, fighting inward. When another Parshendi force appeared behind Dalinar, Sadeas retreated to the northern plateau, pulling the eight bridge crews he'd leant to the Kholinar army with him and abandoning Dalinar Kholin.
