Despite having existed for many generations, the Kholin family did not begun their expansion until around roughly 1139, when Gavilar and Dalinar Kholin led a conquest against the other [[Highprince]]s of Alethkar, eventually consolidating the whole nation into a kingdom in the year 1148. {{book ref|sa3|3}} {{book ref|sa3|26}}

===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.

 

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.
