=== Ryshadium ===
{{for|Sureblood}}
He had a white stallion, a [[Ryshadium]] horse named [[Sureblood]],{{book ref|sa1|26}} one of only a dozen Ryshadium in all the Alethi warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]]. Adolin believed there was an undefinable bond between him and Sureblood, that he could read the Ryshadium's emotions, though it was more delicate than the bond between a man and a sword.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
Sureblood died during the Battle of Narak.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Adolin felt regret for not having spent more time with the Ryshadium
=== Shardbearer ===
Adolin
==== Shardplate ====
Adolin inherited his [[Shardplate]] from his mother's side of the family on his 16th birthday.{{book ref|sa1|12}} The [[Iriali]] Queen
==== Mayalaran ====
Adolin has practiced Blade commands, a set of mental commands that allow him to keep the Blade summoned even after letting go of it. After Szeth's first attempt on Dalinar's life, he practiced being able to throw his Shardblade into a target.{{book ref|sa2|35}} This appears to be a rather extraordinary feat given [[Hrdalm]]'s amazement upon being saved by the technique.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
Adolin has learned [[Mayalaran]]'s name and can summon her in seven heartbeats rather than the typical ten heartbeats required of a dead Shardblade. He
=== Dueling ===
Adolin's [[Calling]] is dueling and he frequently resorts to challenging other lighteyes to settle disputes. Since arriving at the [[Shattered Plains]], he has been unable to duel as much as he had previously due to his father's insistence that he follow the [[Alethi Codes of War]], which state that needless duels should be avoided during times of war so that commanding officers are not wounded.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Once Dalinar becomes [[Highprince of War]], he uses Adolin and his dueling as a key part in his plan to discipline the Highprinces by taking away their Shards in duels. {{book ref|sa2|5}}
Adolin has a series of traditions he performs before any duel he fights. While in the preparation room, which is used primarily for meditation, he talks to his unnamed Blade before continuing on to the staging room where his armorers help him into his Shardplate. [[Navani]] normally paints a glyphward for him though by his final duel he has moved to having [[Shallan]] paint them for him. Finally, [[Renarin]] will check to make sure Adolin has eaten chicken at some point before the duel and that he has their mother's chain on his person. {{book ref|sa2|14}} Navani passes these off as superstitions, which Adolin denies. However, before his final duel, when he forgot his mother's chain, both he and Renarin appear visibly shaken. Though by the time his
Adolin has employed various Shardblade Stances in his duels, though he relies most heavily on [[Windstance]] and diverse tactics. In the duel against [[Resi]], which is disguised as a friendly match, Adolin implements the defensive and offensive forms of Windstance, his style described as dancing{{book ref|sa1|58}}. Against [[Salinor Eved]] he switches to using [[Ironstance]] as well as employing elements of hand to hand combat for a rather brutal display, much to the ire of Highjudge [[Istow]]. {{book ref|sa2|14}} While fighting against [[Eranniv]], [[Torol Sadeas]] notes that Adolin is fighting far below his own capacity {{book ref|sa2|29}}, making it seem like a close fight. Against [[Elit Ruthar]], Adolin employs Windstance again, focusing on precision while implementing a tactic of exhausting Elit's plate of stormlight until it can no longer move. {{book ref|sa2|53}}
