After travelling to Thaylen City, Kaladin, along with Elhokar, [[Adolin]], [[Shallan]], [[Skar]], [[Drehy]], [[Ishnah]], and [[Vathah]], undertook a trip atop the next highstorm, using it as fuel to travel from the [[Shattered Plains]] to Kholinar. Along the way, he noted that although he cannot reproduce his ability to influence the strength of the winds, he did create a sort of 'channel' that kept the group together as they flew. During the trip, he also briefly had a conversation with [[Syl]] about his interest in Shallan, after he reflected on how she seemed to embrace flying above the storms. Once the group arrived, they discussed the beauty of the storm, and Kaladin split from the group to scout below the clouds. Over Kholinar, he identified the banners of humans rulers, and noted the construction of [[Singer]] stormshelters. Kaladin finally gave in to his urge to gawk, but was alarmed by the dark aura around the palace. Returning to the group, he consulted them and the group decided to sneak into Kholinar, regardless of the fact that it was still in human hands.{{book ref|sa3|60}}
The group approached the city wearing disguishes made by Shallan. Kaladin's illustion was particullarly hideous. The king commanded Kaladin to succeed, and comple the mission when he, the king, would fail. The wall guard denies them entrance, but the group quickly enters when the guard was distracted by an attack of the fused. Kaladin wanted to help the guards, but Adolin persuades him to ignore it.{{book ref|sa3|61}} They sheltered at Adolin's tailor, and made plans.{{book ref|sa3|62}} Kaladin brought a letter from Elhokar to Shallan, which she will deliver at the palace. Meanwhile, he watched the palace and helped Shallan helped her get back to the tailor's.{{book ref|sa3|63}}
==== Infiltrating the Wall Guard ====
During the next planning, Elhokar charged Kaladin with infiltrating the Wall Guard.{{book ref|sa3|67}} Adolin and Elhokar attended a lighteyes feast to gain contacts, and Kaladin went as the head of their guards. Before joining the lighteyed guard tent he went for a walk along the wall. A patrol of the guards met him, and immediately tried to recruit him. They offered him a free meal, no strings attached.{{book ref|sa3||69}}
