==== Childhood ====
Kaladin was born in late 1153 to [[Lirin]] and [[Hesina]], a family of second [[nahn]], in the town of [[Hearthstone]] in [[Torol Sadeas]]' [[Sadeas princedom|princedom]] in northwestern [[Alethkar]]. His younger brother, [[Tien]] was born two years later. Kaladin grew up isolated from the majority of the townsfolk due to the class disparity between his family and the other townsfolk (who were of fourth or fifth nahn), as well as superstitions surrounding his father’s work as a surgeon. As a result, he became very close with his brother and, at the encouragement of his parents, [[Laral Wistiow]], the daughter of the city lord.{{book ref|sa1|10}}
At the age of eight, Kaladin began training with his father in surgery, though he dreamed of becoming a soldier. In {{Rosharan date|1164}}, he assisted his father in amputating one of the fingers of a fifteen-year old girl named [[Sani]]. Once finished, they discussed Kaladin’s future. Despite his wishes to be a soldier, Lirin announced his plans to send Kaladin to train in the Great Concourse of [[Kharbranth]] once he turned sixteen.{{book ref|sa1|10}}
