With the advent of the Everstorm, [[Dalinar Kholin]] founded a [[coalition of monarchs]] to oppose Odium's forces and the [[Knights Radiant]] were re-established.{{book ref|sa3|96}}{{book ref|sa2|89}} Acting on the advice Honor had left in his series of visions, they pushed Odium to agree to a contest of champions so that he could be forced to leave Roshar in peace for some period of time.{{book ref|sa1|75}}{{book ref|sa3|16}} Odium eventually agreed to such a contest during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]],{{book ref|sa3|117}} but withdrew before the terms for the contest could be set.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{book ref|sa4|50}}
About a year later, in {{rosharan date|1175}} Odium returned to set the terms for the contest. Ultimately he and Dalinar agreed that, no matter the outcome of the contest, Odium would remain bound to the Rosharan system and would cease hostilities against the coalition of monarchs, with only the fate of [[Alethkar]], [[Herdaz]], and Dalinar's soul depending on the outcome of the contest.{{book ref|sa4|112}} The protections specified for [[Hoid]] in Dalinar's initial, written, proposed contract also appear to be in effect.{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}} The contest is set for the tenth hour of the [[Roshar#Calendar|tenth day of the month Palah]] at the top of [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|112}}
Shortly after Odium came to this agreement with Dalinar, [[Taravangian]] orchestrated an attack on Odium with [[Nightblood]], which killed Odium's Vessel, [[Rayse]].{{book ref|sa4|113}} Taravangian then Ascended as the new Vessel of Odium; he remains bound by the agreement Rayse made with Dalinar and plans to beat Dalinar.{{book ref|sa4|114}}
