Difference between revisions of "Kaladin"

Kaladin grew more and more despaired during his time as a bridgeman. He eventually came close to committing suicide, but was convinced by the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]] to try one last time to protect the bridgemen. He spent the subsequent period trying to win the loyalty of the bridgemen and, once he did, to find a way to save their lives. After he caused a battle to be lost in a disastrous attempt to carry the bridge sidewaysSoon, he realized that the purpose of the bridgemen was to be bait to the [[Parshendi]] arrows and decided if they wanted to live, they would have to escape. He started training the Bridge Four as spearmen so they could fight when they escaped. In the [[Battle of the Tower]], when they had the chance to easily escape, he and Bridge Four saved the lives of [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his men. In return for their sacrifice, Dalinar freed all the bridgemen from slavery and offered them a job as soldiers in his army, to be trained and led by Kaladin.
