Things were looking hopeless for them when a single bridge crew, [[Bridge Four]], led by [[Kaladin]], returned and saved them. The bridge offered the army a way off of the plateau and Kaladin was able to fight off enough of the Parshendi to allow Dalinar, Adolin, and the remains of the Kholin army to escape.{{book ref|sa1|66}}{{book ref|sa1|67}}{{book ref|sa1|68}} Dalinar promised Kaladin that he would free him and his crew from Sadeas.{{book ref|sa1|68}} They all returned to the warcamp to confront Sadeas.
Elhokar, frustrated at his lack of power, tried to abdicate the Alethi throne to Dalinar, who refused to let him do it. Instead, Dalinar gave up his claim to the Kholin lands entirely in exchange for leadership of Urithiru, outside of Alethkar’s authority. Elhokar’s anxiety is for the safety of the Alethkar capital, [[Kholinar]]. Dalinar didn’t want Elhokar going on his own, and Elhokar asked that [[Kaladin]] to go with him.{{book ref|sa3|12}}
 
Dalinar’s attempts to reach out to other world leaders begin badly as his memories of Rathalas Though he could contact them through spanreed conversations, they were reticent to give him anything. Dalinar’s reputation as a warmongering general has harmed the attempt at peacemaking. theThe [[Gawx|Emperor]] of [[Azir]] refused to budge, telling the Alethi that their Oathgate didn’t function as a portal. The [[Fen|Queen]] of [[Thaylenah]] wrote over spanreed that the Voidbringers had sailed off and that there was no need for a coalition. However, one person answers Dalinar’s plea to join forces: King [[Taravangian]].{{book ref|sa3|12}}
 
The inspection of the honorblade Dalinar had in his possession led him to the discussion of Odium and his weaknesses, namely whether Odium could be bound by oaths. The Stormfather confirmed it. The suggestion that a contest of champions between Odium and the Knights Radiant could hold Odium off were his champion to be defeated. Winning time would be a worthy goal for Dalinar’s side, whereas time was meaningless to Odium.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
 
Dalinar went to spar to work through these plans, but no ardent was willing to spar with him. Dalinar’s ardents were being pushed to a decision between loyalty to the Almighty or to Dalinar, the known heretic. Instead of his ardents, Dalinar ordered [[Aratin]], one of [[General Khal]]’s sons, to spar with him in a wrestling match, which he lost. As the match finished, Navani arrived with word that the [[Fen|QueenIri]]ali suddenlyqueen wanted to speak againearlier than scheduled.
 
Finding that he thought better when in activity, Dalinar ordered Kadash to wrestlespar with him while he argued with both Kadash and Fenthe Iriali queen in two separate conversations. Dalinar refused to budge with Kadash, insisting that he wouldn’t change his mind and recant without evidence. QueenThe Fenqueen passesinforms on the informationDalinar that, instead of joining thehis coalition with Dalinar, [[Thaylenah]]Iri is going to ally with the Voidbringers. She says she might reconsider the choice if the Alethi were to return Adolin’s Shardplate, which Fenshe claims is calledrightfully Rira’sIri's. Navani observed that the Plate is rightfully Adolin’s by inheritance of his mother, but Dalinar was able to hear Evi’s name for the first time since his trip to the Nightwatcher, and then he remembered her face.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
