==== Gavilar and the Listeners ====
Since the Sunmaker's death, Alethkar had been in conflict with themselves. The rest of the world considered them to be a backwater with no real influence on world politics. All that changed when [[Gavilar Kholin]] decided to reunite Alethkar. He, along with his brother [[Dalinar]] and friend [[Torol Sadeas]], fought to reunite the various highprinces. The war allowed the [[Thrill]] to gain a stronger foothold among the Alethi people. Dalinar in particular gained a strong connection with it, as Odium was hoping to groom him as his champion. At some point during the war or the aftermath as king, Gavilar began seeing visions sent by Honor warning him of the coming True Desolation and telling him to unite them. He interpreted the visions as needing to start a new Desolation to force people to unite, and he joined the [[Sons of Honor]].
During an expedition to the [[Shattered Plains]], Gavilar and Dalinar encountered the listeners. This interaction was the first meeting of humans and non-lobotomized singers in two thousand years. Gavilar grew fascinated with the listeners, and the two societies worked to form a peace treaty. The night of the historic signing of the peace treaty between humans and the last free enclave of singers, many important figures including some of the Heralds chose to attend. During the night, however, Gavilar revealed to the listener [[Eshonai]] his intention to bring back the Fused. The listeners chose to assassinate Gavilar rather than let that happen. His assassination and their confession led to the signing of the Vengeance Pact and the start of the [[War of Reckoning]].
His brother's death combined with his actions under the Thrill inspired Dalinar to seek out the [[Nightwatcher]]. Cultivation interfered and took his memories of his wife in a plan to counter Odium's future for Dalinar. These actions would have a massive influence on the later conflict of the [[True Desolation]].
