Difference between revisions of "Elhokar Kholin"

As the series progresses, Elhokar becomes matures and sees the flaws in himself and his rule. He goes so far as to formally hand off most of his power to Dalinar as highking, while requesting to remain in power of Kholinar, insisting that he is not a terrible ruler, but that Alethkar needs an exceptional ruler if Roshar is to survive what is to come. He also tries to step up and take responsibility as king, and goes to Kholinar with Kaladin, Skar, Drehy, Shallan, and Adolin in an attempt to recapture the city. On their trip, Elhokar tells Kaladin to rule if and when the king himself fails in his duties, admitting that Kaladin is a natural hero, while the king is prone to mistakes. Kaladin notes that this humbled Elhokar is very different from the general impression he had of the king.
