=== Kholin's Bodyguard (1173—) ===
[[File: Kaladin paint portrait.png|thumb|right|Kaladin wearing his Captain's uniform.]]
Kaladin promotedpromotes [[Moash]], [[Skar]], [[Teft]], [[Sigzil]] and [[Rock]] to lieutenants, a rank which is the equivalent of sergeant in companies made solely of lighteyes, because he needs a rank between squadleader and captain to form command structure for a thousand men.{{book ref|wor|2}}
Kaladin setsets up a rotation to protect Dalinar, and his sons always using either himself or Moash or Skar for the Blackthorn. During this time he wasis encouraged to send some of his men to the kingsking's guard to learn from them. After a small council, Dalinar wishedwishes for Kaladin and his men to take on more duties extending to protecting Navani and then eventually protecting the King himself,. Kaladin complains that his men are stretched thin, but Dalinar says that he is not alone in that problem.
 
====Preparing for the Assassin in White====
During the Highstorms Kaladin gathers all those who he is supposed to protect in one location to make it easier and blames himself for not stopping the numbers. After a highstorm the king is nearly killed after the balcony he wasis standing on brokebreaks free,. Kaladin concludesand withDalinar Dalinarconclude that the support was cut with a Shardblade and this was an assassination attempt. Kaladin later confronts Moash as he was the only one on the balcony after the storm and Moash admits to have been an accomplice,. Kaladin forbids Moash from meeting with the Assassins again.
 
[[Zahel]], a swordmaster who teacheshas taught Adolin and other lighteyes, wantstries to prove toconvince Kaladin thatto hebe needstrained tounder trainhim fromso him,that andhe can learn how to fight Shardbearers. Kaladin does not want to, as he still associates Shardblades with the [[Helaran Davar|shardbearer]] who killed his men while he was under Amaram. Zahel then goes after Adolin, pretending to be an enemy. Kaladin fights him, but is beaten, because he wasis not protecting anybody and his Radiant abilities diddo not help him.
 
Kaladin discusses [[Amaram]] with Dalinar, but Dalinar does nothing. He does not fully believe Kaladin, but says that he will look into it. Kaladin is unsatisfied and angry.
 
Dalinar wants Kaladin and his men to learn how to ride horses, as they might be useful in the future. The groom thinks that it is absurd for darkeyes to learn horseback riding, but she teaches them anywaysanyway. Kaladin does not want to ride horses, but does as he is told. He at first rides an old, mellow horse, but [[Adolin]] comes by, and taunts him for not riding a fast horse. He then finds Dreamstorm, the most wild, violent horse in the stables, and attempts to ride it. As it bucks him wildly, he is forced to stick himself on with stormlight. He is whipped around, until finally he runs out and flies several feet in the air, and lands across the stable. It hurts badly, because he is out of Stormlight. Adolin is very impressed, and apologizes for taunting him.
 
Kaladin then has a dream where he speaks to the [[Stormfather]]. The stormfather says that Kaladin will soon betray and kill Syl. When he wakes up, Syl tells Kaladin that [[Odium|The One Who Hates]] is coming, and Kaladin goes to Elhokar's room. Dalinar and Adolin are there, and so is [[Szeth]]. Kaladin defends them successfully, but has an arm wounded by Szeth's shardblade. He grows it back with stormlight. Szeth is shocked and angry that the [[Knights Radiant]] are returning when he sees Kaladin's surgebinding. (Their return somehow seems to exonerate him of whatever infraction resulted in his Truthless status, which destroys his ability to distance himself from the murders he was ordered to perform.) He then leaves Kaladin alone. Kaladin sees that he is barely able to fight a shardbearer, and takes Zahel up on his offer to train him.
Moash continues to be involved in the plot to kill Elhokar. Kaladin tells him to cease involvement with the conspiracy, but wishes that their arguments were less persuasive. Moash agrees to stop meeting with them.
 
Kaladin guards Adolin while he is meeting with Shallan. Adolin objects, but Kaladin refuses to leave him by himself. He meets Wit, who informs Kaladin that he is aware of his new surgebinding powers. Kaladin is shocked, and angry at Wit, as he often is. Wit leaves when they are not looking, and convinces a bystander to take his place driving the wagon.
