Before he died, his brother directed Dalinar to an ancient tome called 'The Way of Kings', which leads Dalinar to start questioning the warlike and competitive Alethkar way of life. The story shifts to the viewpoint of Highprince Dalinar Kholin, the brother of the murdered King. Gavilar's son, Elhokar, then goes to war with the Parshendi. When Szeth was sent to kill the Alethi King Gavilar, the Parshendi, a race similar to the docile servants of other nations, claim responsibility for the assassination.
