'''[[Dalinar Kholin]]''''s story centers around the politics of the Alethi nobility.
 
Following his brother [[Gavilar]]'s assassination, Dalinar took his last words to heart, and began following the [[Alethi Codes of War]] and the teachings of the [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']], a book written by [[Nohadon]]. He is plagued by visions of the past during every [[highstorm]], and has a strong sense that the war on the [[Shattered Plains]] is not what the king needs to be focused on, but rather uniting the Alethi highprinces completely. Following the betrayal by [[Torol Sadeas]], he finally drops politics and embraces the Blackthorn, realizing that he must force the highprinces to unite and finish the war quickly, so they may focus on the [[Desolation]] to come.
