When they approached the Shattered Plains, Kaladin was feeling a bit better. Syl came to him and brought [[Yunfah]], the only unbound honorspren willing to bond a Radiant. Kaladin wanted the spren to consider Rlain, but the spren was hesitant. So Kaladin ordered him to try with Rlain before bonding anyone else. The highmarshal then surveyed Narak while landing. He walked to where the Windrunners had landed their passengers and asked Dalinar to go back to Urithiru.The king denied it as he wanted to speak to Kaladin. They spoke on the war and tactics against the Heavenly Ones, and the need for more Windrunners.Syl explained the other honorspren found the humans dangerous. Then the king praised the highmarshal for building up the Windrunners as military force, and then relieved him of duty. Kaladin was distressed and at first disagreed, but after a heated argument had to agree he needed a break form active duty. He wondered what if something happened to one of the others because he wasn't there, to which Dalinar countered by asking what if something happens because he is there and froze.Dalinar let him keep his rank and offered a position in training the new forces. Kaladin wasn't sure that was right and he was allowed some time to think on how he wanted to contribute.{{book ref|sa4|10}}
After they took the Oathgate to Urithiru, Kaladin was thinking how he had almost no squires left as most of Bridge Four had become Knights and taken their own squires. Many of them invited Kaladin to join them for one activity or the other, but he declined all and wanted to be alone. The moment he stepped into his rooms he broke. He sank down next to the door, and his emotions overwhelmed him, with the exhaustion and agony washing over him. He thought again about Moash's words, about how everyone was going to die, and he would not be able to stop it. He was taken out of his thoughts when someone started knocking on the door. It was Adolin, who had been fetched by Syl. The highprince insisted that Kaladin joined him for an evening out, and wasn't accepting any more excuses. Kaladin was forced to admit he shouldn't be left alone this night, and when they left he did thank Syl.{{book ref|sa4|12}}
