;Plot Summary
Dalinar watches Gavinor play with his toy sword and they talk about his parents. The conversation turns dark and Gavinor becomes distracted. Dalinar gives him over to his nursemaid and moves on. Earlier in the day Dalinar had spoken with Relis Ruthar and the [[Azish]] to smooth over what Jasnah had done with Relis's father. As he walks to the [[Windrunner]]s' campfire Dalinar thinks about Jasnah's intent to disband the monarchy and how strange it seems to him.
When he arrives at the campfire a Windrunner [[squire]] hands him a bowl of the stew and Dalinar realizes that they think he had come to approve of this tradition. Renarin moves to sit next to his father and they discuss whether or not it is a good idea for Dalinar to see the vision since it was possible that Odium had influenced it. Dalinar convinces Renarin that it was worth the risk, and the two of them leave the campfire to discuss this newest vision.
Renarin resummons his vision and tells Dalinar that the vision shows Dalinar, in [[Shardplate]] pierced by an arrow, facing away from Odium. He tells him that he thinks it means that Odium will delay indefinitely and never agree to an actual contest of champions with Dalinar since there was nothing for him to lose by waiting. Renarin also tells Dalinar that both he and Odium only see possible outcomes and explains how their powers interfere with each other.
At Glys's prompting Renarin asks Dalinar what he thinks about more [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] bonding corrupted [[spren]]. Dalinar says that he will have to think about it since he is not sure if can trust the Unmade. Glys asks Renarin who he thinks would be a good match for another spren and Renarin recommends [[Rlain]].<!--made clear from later chapters-->
