==== Fighting the Shardbearer ====
On the {{date/sa|year=1172|month=10|text=month of Ishi of the year 1172}}, Kaladin fights his final battle in Amaram's army. Prior to the battle, Kaladin meets with Squadleader [[Gare]] and two of his sergeants. Kaladin bribes Gare to transfer [[Cenn]], a young and inexperienced soldier, to Kaladin's own squad, whom he entrusts to his sergeant [[Dallet]]. He also bribes the surgeons to give priority to his men. While bribing the surgeons, the money pouch sticks to his hand by what Kaladin assumes is a [[windspren]], although it is actually his first meeting with [[Sylphrena]]. Kaladin goes to the front lines and prepares for battle after consulting Dallet.{{book ref|sa1|47}}
Once the signal to march was given, Kaladin's well-disciplined squad uses non-standard tactics to avoid taking any casualties. The larger battle, however, doesn't go nearly as well, and after the larger body of Amaram's force breaks, Kaladin's squad is left in the middle of the enemy. During the chaos, Kaladin single-handedly defeats six men to save Cenn, who had been stranded alone without the rest of the squad.{{book ref|sa1|1}} After treating Cenn, Kaladin sees an enemy battalionlord and decides kill him, hoping that such a feat would allow him to be transferred to the [[Shattered Plains]], where Kaladin believes the real fight and honorable men can be found. Kaladin and two of his subsquads execute their plan flawlessly, with Kaladin himself striking the killing blow on the enemy battalionlord.{{book ref|sa1|47}}
Immediately after, an unknown enemy full [[Shardbearer]], later revealed to be [[Helaran Davar]],{{book ref|sa2|52}}{{book ref|sa2|73}} appears and cuts through Amaram's army, killing Cenn, Dallet, and two more of Kaladin's men. Helaran continues on to attack Amaram, whose honor guard has abandoned him. Enraged, Kaladin and his twenty remaining men chase after Helaran
A few hours later, Kaladin is called to Amaram's warcenter
