=== Amaram's Army (1168-1172) ===
==== Natural talent ====
Kaladin received his initial training under [[Tukks]], who taught him the importance of controlled passion—to be passionate and to care without losing control of his emotions—a lesson that he did not initially understand. During his training, Kaladin demonstrated a natural aptitude for being a soldier, learning the spear faster than anyone else in his cohort, barely even needing instruction, much to Tukks’ surprise.{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|49}} After freezing on the battle field the first time, Kaladin was assigned cleaning duty by Tukks. Not to punish him, but to help him fit in more. Tukks explained about how many soldiers stuggle with the need to hurt the enemy. However, Kaladin though he didn't freeze beacause he was afraid to hurt someone, he froze because he realized he could kill, if needed.{{book ref|sa3|91}}

==== Assault on the Royal Palace ====
When readying for the assault, Elhokar gave Kaladin the duty to save the Queen and the heir. While the other with the troops storm the palace, Kaladin, Shallan, Skar, and Drehy used their Radiant powers to engage and distract the Fused. They seized the Sunwalk and the eastern gallery, using Shallan's illusions to fake their death, and meet the others in the palace.{{book ref|sa3|83}} Kaladin joined Elhokar to lead a force, including Noro's squad, up the stairs to the royal chambers. They found the queen, who has lost her mind and joined the enemy. Kaladin searched the room and Syl found little [[Gavinor]] surrounded by red spren. Using his Sylblade Kaladin cut one of the spren, and scared of the other spren. Elhokar and Kaladin then fled down the palace followed by the Queen's Guard. They were met at the bottom by a group of parshaman, led by [[Sah]], Kaladin's friend. Kaladin froze when he noticed he had friends in multiple of the fighting groups, the conflicting loyalties overwhelming him. He tried to stop the fighting, but his efforts were in vain. He was watching Elhokar starting to speak the First Ideal, when [[Moash]] came in and killed the king. Drehy, Skar, and Adolin enter just in time to save Kaladin and pull him to safety.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Kaladin was in shock and just watches while Shallan activated the oathgate and the group ended up accidentally in in shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|85}}
=== Trip through Shadesmar (1174) ===
Kaladin, Syl, Shallan, Pattern, Azure, Adolin and his blade's deadeye found themselves stranded in Shadesmar. Kaladin immediately drew in stormlight and started hoovering, this drew the attention of all nearby spren. At Syl's increasingly urgent requests, he let go. Kaladin was in a broody mood and barely talked, despite Adolin's urging, while the group made their way to the land (where the river is in the physical realm). They made camp as they were all exhausted.{{book ref|sa3|89}}
The next morning, was sitting on a rock watching the surroundings when Syl came to speak to him. She asked why he didn't sleep, and he evaded the question. She knew somethign was wrong with him, despites his denials.{{book ref|sa3|91}} Later Adolin started performing a morning kata, Azure joins and so does Kaladin who still struggles with the movements. The group discussed their supplies and strategy. Kaladin pressed to go back to the Oathgate to help the city. Moreover, he was shocked to learn about shadesmar and the existance of spren cities among other things.{{book ref|sa3|93}} The group marched along the penisula corresponding to Windrunner river in the physical realm. Kaladin was frustrated and felt like they are abandoning Kholinar and it's people. He was aware his thoughts were irrational. He felt his depression coming back.{{book ref|sa3|95}}
When the reached the lighthouse at the end of the peninsula, Kaladin tried to sneak up on it. As he attracked anticipation spren, he was quickly spotted by the lighthouse keeper [[Riino]]. Riino believed Kaladin was here to have his fortune told, while Kaladin wanted to go and get the others. When he understands the man, Kaladin was aghast at the idea of seeing the future, and said they were looking for passage on a ship. Outside the clouds changed as a highstorm is passing in the physical. Kaladin is attraced by the globe on the table shining brightly, he touched it. He got a vision of Dalinar with 9 shadows and danger for him, and a flash of Taylen city. Later Kaladin sat to recover while the others arranged passage and supplies. They debated the destination, but had to take the ship to Celebrant.{{book ref|sa3|98}}
