===Unification War===

===Rule of Alethkar===

 

 

Around the year 1150, Gavilar sent Dalinar to the borders of Alethkar in order to fight Herdazians and Vedens as a gesture of Kholin strength, and to defend the security of the border. This was further needed due to the increased aggression of Herdaz under their new monarch.{{book ref|sa3|49}} This helped him to become one of Gavilar's best generals, and also shaping the modern Alethkar-Herdaz border.

 

An assassination attempt was made on Dalinar by Szeth, Gavilar's assassin, under the orders of [[Taravangian]]. This failed due to the assistance of Adolin and [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|sa2|32}}

 

Late into the War of Reckoning, Dalinar began to see visions left by [[Honor]], which culminated in him creating a Nahel Bond with the [[Stormfather]] and becoming a Bondsmith.

 

In {{Rosharan date|1173}}, during the War of Reckoning, Navani attempted to court Dalinar, picking up their mutual interest in each other from their younger days, that had only been allowed to lapse because Dalinar had stepped aside in favour of Gavilar. Their courtship was frowned upon by the [[ardentia]] but nevertheless maintained and culminated in them being married in [[Urithiru]] by the [[Stormfather]], as no ardent was willing to perform the rites. Afterwards, Dalinar was titled a highking, giving up his claim to the princedom and making Adolin the Kholin highprince.

 

After gaining access to Urithiru and the Oathgates, Dalinar founded the [[Coalition of monarchs|Coalition of Monarchs]] in an attempt to mount a resistance against Odium's army. Dalinar, Navani, and Jasnah are major leaders in this coalition. The first monarch he reached out to was [[Yanagawn]] of the Azish Empire, though they were initially recalcitrant and refused to take up any invitation.{{book ref|sa3|12}}

 

With their military might, they were capable of taking over the disunified Alethi provinces, bringing them together into a single unified Alethkar over years of conquest.

 

===Bridge Four===

[[Bridge Four]] was a former bridge crew that became Dalinar Kholin's honor guard, guarding the highprince and his family, and a military unit in the Kholin army. They are a very powerful and important part of the army, containing a large amount of Knight's Radiant and Squires, and being trusted with important tasks not entrusted to ordinary soldiers.
