Following the death of [[Ialai Sadeas]], [[Mraize]] gave [[Shallan]] the mission to track down Restares, pointing her towards the city of [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa4|13}} Shortly after, an diplomatic mission to that very city was proposed, and Shallan volunteered to go, with her husband [[Adolin Kholin]] joining as the expedition's leader.{{book ref|sa4|19}} Meanwhile, Kalak left the city for a longer while on a patrol. Prior to his departure, he ordered the [[honorspren]] not to tell anyone about his identity or nature; as such, they maintained that the High Judge was merely a rare type of [[spren]].{{book ref|sa4|78}}
At the same time, Mraize convinced Shallan to murder Kalak as a way to help Adolin succeed in the trial.{{book ref|sa4|82}} Kalak, aware that someone would be sent to kill him, though unaware of who precisely, composed a message to his killer in the journal, mocking them for thinking they could capture a Herald and begging that they release [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]].{{epigraph ref|sa4|91}}{{epigraph ref|sa4|97}}

On the first day of the trial, Kelek was impatient to begin, fully ready to convict Adolin and have him sent to execution; the news that the honorspren wouldn't actually execute Adolin came as a surprise to him. After hurrying Sekeir along to being as soon as possible, and making sure he understood the terms of the trial correctly, Kelek began to listen to the witness testimonies.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
After [[Amuna]]'s testimony, Kalak admitted that the [[Stormfather]] choosing to bond again was a sign heavily in Adolin's favour. After a longer break, however, when made everyone wait as he ate a fruit and made notes, Sekeir pressured him to admit that Stormfather's recent erratic behavior made the great spren's opinion untrustworthy. Next came [[Blended]]'s testimony; following it, Kalak pointed out to Adolin that an [[inkspren]] electing to side with honorpren on any matter was not a good look for humans. Finally, [[Notum]] was brought out to read a pre-made testimony. However, he broke away from it to protest and side with Adolin. This caused a good amount of agitation among the honorspren, which in turn made Kalak panic. He curled up and covered his ears, trembling.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
After Notum was led out, Kelek quickly return to a state of calm, and explained to Adolin that he's stepped into an old argument between spren. When Adolin pointed out that the first day of the trial went well for him, Kalak was unconvinced. He explained to Adolin that he did not believe men truly changed, and further elaborated that some spren believe they should side with [[Odium]], and that Adolin's arrival could, in Kalak's opinion, tip the scales in favour of that.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
=== The Second Day ===
On the second day, Kelek arrived after Adolin, having changed into a more formal set of robes. He was similarly wishing to hurry things up, but seemed to be taking his responsibility more seriously, threatening to have one honorspren removed for breaking the rules and guiding the trial along. As one of the spren grew far too agitated, Kalak had him actually dragged out of the forum. However, the trial still ended with a loss to Adolin as [[Testament]] was brought to prove the modern Radiants would still kill their spren{{book ref|sa4|90}}
It was this day that convinced Shallan to go ahead with her plan of killing Kalak.{{{book ref|sa4|90}}
