chose to betray
Dalinar because of his worry that he was walking the same path as his brother Gavilar. Accusing him of killing the king or attacking him outright would have turned the highprinces against each other, destroying what Sadeas desired to preserve. Sadeas also reveals that he believes Elokhar knows who tried to kill him. Now aware of their intentions, Dalinar and Sadeas part as enemies and end their alliance. When Sadeas refuses to grant him the bridgemen, Dalinar trades his Shardblade, Oathbringer, in exchange for the thousand bridgemen he has left, later confessing to Kaladin that he considered the price worth paying, having traded one priceless weapon for a thousand priceless human lives. Dalinar confronts Elhokar, disarming him and pummelling him until the king is helpless before him, his guards refusing to come to his aid as they are Dalinar's men. Dalinar correctly deduces that Elhokar rigged his own saddle to prompt an investigation into possible assassins, clearing himself of any responsibility, stating that he would have killed Elhokar himself if he wanted to and that nothing or no one would have stopped him. Having grown distrustful of the Highprinces, Dalinar declares himself the Highprince of War and sets forth plans to enforce the Codes to unite the army despite their disapproval.

Knights Radiants' desertion and the enslavement of the Parshmen. Jasnah's father, King Gavilar, had started researching their origins when he had encountered the Parshendi in the Shattered Plains, surprised by the existence of a culture of warrior Parshmen and concerned that the whole of humanity's servant class could turn against them. Jasnah's research had subsequently revealed that Gavilar's fears were founded: stories of the ancient Voidbringers seemed to point to the fact that the now-docile Parshmen were the Voidbringers, enslaved by humanity. Jasnah also reveals the existence of the Ghostbloods, a secret organization searching for the same answers she is, but for different reasons. Kabsal was a member of the Ghostbloods, their symbol having been found on his body after his death. When Shallan recognizes the symbol, she realizes that her father is a member of the Ghostbloods.
