The battle was tough for the Alethi, since the Parshendi Stormform made them more powerful, and allowed them to blast red lightning at their foes. After receiving advice from Rlain, Dalinar commanded the Alethi troops to kill the groups of singers in the Parshendi rear to prevent them from finishing their song. Adolin, despite having lost his mount [[Sureblood]],{{book ref|sa2|81}} managed to defeat a group of singers by ambushing them from behind. He was then engaged in a duel with Eshonai,{{book ref|sa2|83}} which ended with them both falling down a chasm. Adolin was caught by the bridgemen [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]],{{book ref|sa2|84}} while Eshonai disappeared and later drowned.{{book ref|sa4|117}} On Roion's plateau, however, the Parshendi gained the upper hand and managed to kill [[Teleb]], one of the Kholin [[Shardbearer]]s.{{book ref|sa2|82}}
Shallan suspected that a perfectly round plateau, which did not fit into the pattern of the [[Shattered Plains]] was where the Oathgate was located.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Together with Prince [[Renarin Kholin]], and a team of soldiers and scholars,{{book ref|sa2|83}} Shallan went to the plateau and discoverd the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa2|84}} After struggling to activate it, she discovered that it operated like a [[fabrial]] and that a living [[Shardblade]] was required to operate the gate.{{book ref|sa2|86}}
As the battle continued, Adolin encountered [[Szeth]], who was secretly sent by [[Taravangian]] to kill Dalinar.{{book ref|sa2|84}} Adolin engaged him in a fight. Meanwhile, Roion's forces were losing, and Aladar managed to defeat the Parshendi on his plateau. The victory came too late, however, as the singing Parshendi managed to summon the [[Everstorm]]. The [[Stormfather]] decided to summon an unexpected Highstorm; the two storms approached from different directions, set to collide above Narak.{{book ref|sa2|85}}
