'''Alethkar''' was the largest and most prominent of the five [[Vorinism|Vorin]] Nations. It was split into ten princedoms, each with its own [[Highprince]]. The [[Kholin]] family ruled over the ten Highprinces.
== Geography ==
Located in eastern [[Roshar]], Alethkar was more exposed to the Highstorms than many lands further east. Important geographical features included the Sunmaker mountains, the Sea of Spears, and the Windrunner and Deathbend Rivers.
== History ==
Alethkar was founded as Alethela in the Silver Kingdoms Epoch. It survived the Desolations, but at an unknown point was fractured into the Princedoms.
Under this system, the ten [[Highprince]]s acted as Kings of their own lands, with no unifying government. In approximately 1158, [[Gavilar Kholin]] sought to conquer and unite the Highprinces, which he achieved by about 1163. He was then crowned King and his brother [[Dalinar Kholin]] became Highprince to the [[Kholin]] Princedom.
When Gavilar was assassinated by the [[Parshendi]] in 1167, his son [[Elhokar Kholin]] became King and declared war on the Parshendi. Each of the Highprinces joined the [[Vengeance Pact]], and they went to the [[Shattered Plains]] to besiege the Parshendi. The siege took much longer than was expected, and was still active by 1173.
