Point of view: Dalinar
Setting: Kholinar, Urithiru
Progression of the Chapter:
| “ |
When we left our heroes at the end of Words of Radiance, they'd safely arrived in Urithiru following the Everstorm and the battle on the Shattered Plains. Dalinar had bonded the Stormfather and is a true Knight Radiant now, and Kaladin, Renarin, and Shallan were all outed as Knights Radiant as well. Shallan was still being somewhat secretive about the extent of her abilities. Szeth had been taken as an apprentice by Nale and the Skybreakers after a miraculous revival, and Adolin had killed Sadeas after having shoved poor Eshonai into a chasm. Now, six days later, Dalinar retreats into one of his visions, seeking answers. Kholinar is reportedly being torn asunder by riots and the queen has gone silent. The Everstorm approaches, cycling back around the continent, but the nations of the world don't heed Dalinar's warnings. Dalinar sees Odium's Champion, and comes to the realization that he must unite the world faster than Odium can destroy it. To do so, he needs to find more Knights Radiant. Before he can begin to address any of the million problems presented, however, a scout arrives to alert them that Sadeas has been murdered. |
