The '''War of Reckoning''' iswas a conflict on [[Roshar]] between [[Alethkar]] and the [[Parshendi]]. This name for the conflict was used by Brightness [[Hashal]]{{book ref|sa1|43}} in reference to the origin of the war as an act to bring justice on the Parshendi for their responsibility in the assassination of the Alethi King [[Gavilar Kholin]].
 
== Background ==
The Alethi army is comprised of ten armies, each from one princedom, and led by ten [[highprince]]s: [[Roion]], [[Torol Sadeas]], [[Aladar]], [[Dalinar Kholin]], [[Vamah]], [[Ruthar]], [[Thanadal]], [[Hatham]], [[Bethab]] and [[Sebarial]].{{map ref|Alethi warcamps}} <!--- King [[Elhokar]] had a complex to himself but led no army as he belonged to [[House Kholin]] and the respective army was led by Dalinar. - E. is king and therefore has no "house" nor an own army I think --->
 
On the edge of the Shattered Plains there arewere ten warcamps, each of them serving as a base of operations for each highprince fighting on the plains. The ten warcamps arewere situated in hollows on the leeward side of the [[Shattered Plains]].{{map ref|Alethi warcamps}}

=== Parshendi ===
The Parshendi arewere a single army. Ever since the start of the war, their camp had been on the ruins of [[Stormseat]], at the center of the Shattered Plains. They called this central place Narak, which in their language meant '''Exile'''.
 
== History ==
=== Beginning of the siegeSiege ===
In order to fulfill the Vengeance Pact as quickly as possible, the Alethi highprinces initially planned a full-scale attack on the Parshendi. However, they were unable to immediately locate the Parshendi center of operation, and upon arriving at the Shattered Plains, the highprinces realize that a full-scale attack on the plateau in the center of the Plains would present huge risks because of [[highstorm]]s.
 
The Shattered Plains{{map ref|Shattered Plains}} are an enormous area and armies must cross chasms to get between plateaus making a campaign to the Shattered Planes center vulnerable to a highstorm while exposed on the plateaus devastating the armies.{{book ref|sa1|43}}
 
The highprinces decidedecided upon a siege strategy.{{book ref|sa1|15}}{{book ref|sa1|18}} As the Shattered Plains are only accessible from the leeward side, the plan assumed the Parshendi would leave their camp from hunger and face the Alethi.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
 
=== The impactImpact of gemheartsGemhearts ===
Once the Alethi settlesettled on the border of the Shattered Plains, they discoverdiscovered that [[chasmfiend]]s live in the chasms between plateaus. Chasmfiends contain gemhearts which hold enormous amounts of [[stormlight]] for use in [[soulcasting]]. This enablesenabled the armies to Soulcast metal for weapons, wood for bridges, barracks of stone and food for troops.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
 
Both the Alethi and Parshendi useused these gems to sustain their armies, prolonging the siege.
 
=== Rivalry between highprinces ===
In order to cut the supplies of the Parshendi, the highprinces raceraced each other to the gemhearts before the Parshendi can claim them.
 
The safest way to win a gemheart of a chasmfiend iswould be to wait for a chasmfiend to climb on a plateau, where it would pupate.{{book ref|sa1|15}} Once this happens, the chrysalis cancould be opened with a [[Shardblade]]{{book ref|sa1|26}} or more slowly with hammers and chisels.{{book ref|sa1|40}}
 
Whenever a chrysalis is spotted on a plateau, a race between the Parshendi and Alethi highprinces occurswould occur.{{book ref|sa1|15}} Whoever arrived first--Alethi army or Parshendi--was usually attacked by the other. Since every highprince worked on his own, depending on where the chasmfiend was pupating, several Alethi armies could attempt to get to the chasmfiend first. Whenever an army arrived and another Alethi army was already there, the second army turned back home.{{book ref|sa1|17}} This led to rivalry between the highprinces because success in gaining gemhearts meant wealth and appreciation from King Elhokar.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
 
Over the years the result was that the Alethi army lost its original purpose—to fulfil the Vengeance Pact—and their unity. The ten armies fought on their own instead of fighting united against the Parshendi.
When Dalinar worked together with Sadeas, a chasmfied was spotted on the Tower.{{book ref|sa1|64}} According to their plan, Sadeas, whose armies were faster than Dalinar's, had to clear a space on the Tower for Dalinar's troops, who were better trained, to engage the Parshendi.{{book ref|sa1|64}} This worked as planned until Sadeas abandoned Dalinar, leaving no way to retreat for Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|65}}
 
Dalinar and the remnants of his army were saved by [[Bridge Four]] led by [[Kaladin]]. In the followingaftermath, Dalinar made his nephew, King Elhokar, declare him Highprince of War. It was Dalinar's goal to re-purpose the Alethi armies into to fulfilling the Vengeance Pact and to unite them again.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
