Leading up to the battle, he worked with [[Shallan]] to draw maps and plan a route to Narak across the plateaus.{{book ref|sa2|80}} Once the battle began and the stormform listeners started singing to summon the [[Everstorm]], he recognized the dangerous tone of the song, though he wasn't sure about its exact purpose, and urged Dalinar to prevent it from being completed at all costs. He continued to advise Dalinar about the song and the battle, though he was kept under guard and did not participate in the fighting.{{book ref|sa2|81}} After Shallan activated the [[Oathgate]] to transfer the army to [[Urithiru]], Rlain was among the bridgemen who returned to the Shattered Plains and encountered Kaladin after his fight against [[Szeth]].{{book ref|sa2|87}}
