== History ==
=== Service on Urithiru ===
After the [[Battle of Narak]], Kadash moved to Urithiru. He came into conflict with Dalinar however, because he had started saying that the Almighty was dead. He also refused to marry Dalinar and Navani, because the Vorin church saw them as siblings. When they eventually married through the Stormfather, Kadash was dissapointed and afraid of what the ardentia might do to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|4}}
