=== Early Life (1150-1167)===
====
Adolin was born earlier than expected with a full head of blonde and black hair. Dalinar, joyous of having been given a son, named him, using the components "Adoda", meaning "light", and the suffix "lin", meaning "born unto". He hoped that Adolin would have his father's strength and his mother's compassion.{{book ref|sa3|42}} On the same day Gavilar informed Dalinar that he would be put to use in the border skirmishes.

When presented to his father he saluted him but quickly shied away afterwards, and had to confirm Dalinar was his father. He told Dalinar that he and his mother offered prayers for him every night so that he would be safe. Adolin showed a desire to please his father even at such a young age. He told his father he didn't want Dalinar to give him a shardblade, he wanted to win one himself.{{book ref|sa3|52}}
Adolin started training with the sword at the age of six. Renarin mentioned that this made him different in some way, but there is no elaboration.{{book ref|sa2|26}}.
