Difference between revisions of "Adolin Kholin"

While exploring, Adolin reflects on his relationship with Shallan and how it has changed with the revelation that she was a Radiant, which has shaken his sense of self. Getting too far ahead of the rest of his party, Adolin investigates some voices he hears and stumbles across Sadeas with a scouting party of his own. Adolin remains hidden until the others have left and tries to sneak away but his boot scrapes and draws Sadeas's attention. As the two talk, Sadeas reveals his plan to undermine Dalinar by saying the Kholins had contacted the Parshendi and the two had put on a convincing show. Sadeas doesn't believe this but it is the lie he'll tell others.

 

 

Adolin asks Sadeas why he is the way he is and Sadeas tells Adolin that an army cannot have two generals and it has to be him or Dalinar who goes. Adolin says it doesn't have to be that way, but Sadeas reiterates that it must and that he will take everything Dalinar has. Adolin finally snaps and attacks Sadeas. The two wrestle and Adolin manages to stab Sadeas through the eye and into his brain with a knife, killing him. Adolin ditches [[Oathbringer]], which materialized at Sadeas's death, out the window and into one of the planters. He cuts his bloody cuffs off and erases the chalk marks that indicated he had been in the vicinity. He returns to his scouting party and pretends he had been with them the whole time. {{book ref|wor|89}}
