Like most of the highprinces, Aladar used armored troops to carry bridges on the Plains; however, as Sadeas had more and more success with using [[bridgemen]] as easy targets, Aladar and the others began copying his methods. After the new rules concerning plateau assaults and gemheart distribution took effect, Aladar went on plateau runs as commanded and reluctantly followed some tactical advice given to him by Dalinar. Despite this, Aladar again refused Dalinar's offer of alliance
He was present during the meeting of the highprinces after [[Szeth]]'s first assassination attempt on Dalinar when [[Shallan]] finally made it to the Shattered Plains. His partnership with Sadeas at the meeting highlighted the stark division among the highprinces: Sadeas, Aladar, and [[Ruthar]] against Dalinar and [[Elhokar]]. Aladar voiced a worry that the Assassin in White would be back at the beginning of the conference
Sadeas, spiteful that Dalinar was making headway with his plans to rein in the highprinces, released annotated copies of [[Dalinar's visions]] at a later date during one of Elhokar's [[Feasting basin|feasts]]. Though Aladar had previously been one of Dalinar's most forcefully outspoken opponents,{{book ref|sa2|76}} he appeared hesitant during one confrontation with Dalinar, almost as if he were going to say something before deciding not to.{{book ref|sa2|67}}

Dalinar finalized his plans to take the war to the Parshendi, marching on [[Stormseat]] with the intention of ending the war and discovering [[Urithiru]]. He called for the other highprinces to join him and was astonished to see Aladar arrive as well as [[Sebarial]] and [[Roion]]. Aladar confessed to Dalinar that although he didn't share Dalinar's idealistic vision of a unified Alethkar, he realized that he at least
On the way towards Narak, Aladar conferred with Roion, [[Renarin]], and [[General Khal]] to finalize tactics for the assault while Dalinar interrogated [[Rlain]].{{book ref|sa2|79}} They continued their plans over the next days, deciding to push all the way to the center of the Shattered Plains to threaten the very homes of the Parshendi.{{book ref|sa2|80}}
When the final confrontation came, Aladar was horrified at the sight of the Parshendi army with glowing red eyes. Dalinar told him bluntly that this was their chance to do what they could to stop another [[Desolation]] by defeating the [[voidbringers]] and finished off by telling him to "be a champion." His rousing message had the desired effect, stirring Aladar's resolve as he left to lead his army. As they engaged the [[Singers]], Dalinar sent for reinforcements for Aladar's eastern flank and sent him a message to get through to the ones singing at all costs.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Aladar managed to kill the singing Parshendi on his plateau, but as a whole the army was too late to prevent them from summoning an [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|85}} He oversaw his army's evacuation onto the [[Oathgate]] plateau, rejoicing over the fulfillment of the Vengeance Pact. Dalinar, however, couldn't feel anything but more worry, which dampened Aladar's mood. He and his army, together with the other survivors, were transported to
=== Urithiru ===
Aladar, Dalinar, and Roion combined their forces in a plan to retake [[Kholinar]], but even as their armies clustered on the Oathgate platform waiting to be transported from Urithiru to Kholinar, they received word via spanreed that the city had fallen and the group they had sent to the city had failed to unlock the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|86}}
After this failure, the leaders of Urithiru hosted the first meeting of monarchs in the tower. The various monarchs were at first unwilling to cede enough control to each other to work together; Aladar got riled up

Because Dalinar's restored memories of his actions at [[Rathalas]] were so painful he retreated from the public for a while, four of the highprinces--including Aladar, Sebarial, [[Hatham]], and [[Bethab]], who sent his [[Mishinah|wife]] in his stead--approached Navani with their concerns. They discussed such problems as the infrastructure of the tower, the lack of supplies and labor, and the business of Dalinar becoming highking, all while making it clear that the heart of the problem was a doubt as to Dalinar's motives and capability. During the meeting, Navani was able to allay their concerns and restored Aladar's faith, especially, in Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|104}}
Aladar led the meeting of monarchs in Dalinar's absence on the day Dalinar was recovered enough to attend. They discussed plans preparing for battle at [[Jah Keved]] until Dalinar realized that [[Odium]]'s forces were instead going to attack [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|107}} The next meeting took place in Thaylen City itself, and Aladar was present to hear the various information leaks, including the translation of the [[Eila Stele]], that sought to tear apart the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
