== War against the Parshendi ==
After the assassination of King Galivar, the Parshendi retreated to a plateau in the middle of the Shattered Plains, where they established their camp. The ten Alethi warcamps, as well as the king's camp are situated on the west of the Shattered Plains. Despite their larger numbers, a full-scale attack against the Parshendi camp by the Alethi forces was not possible because of the [[Highstorm]]s that made it impossible to survive exposed on the Shattered Plains.

== The impact of gemhearts ==
When arriving at the Shattered Plains, the Alethi armies came upon huge beasts, called [[chasmfiend]]s that lived in the chasms between the plateaus that form the Shattered Plains. TheLike all Roshar-originated animals, chasmfiends had [[gemheart]]s that were actual gems and which could be infused with [[Stormlight]]. The gemhearts were among the largest gems known on Roshar and were therefore of immense value. The only way to safely get at the gemheart was to harvest it when the chasmfiend was pupating. The chasmfiends climbed on a plateau in order to do this. The Alethi and the Parshendi both tried to gain as much gemhearts as possible. That's why a race started everytime a pupating chasmfiend was spootedspotted between the Parshendi on one side and the Highprinces on the other side to get to the plateau first. Whoever arrived first was usually attacked by the other.

Gemhearts could be used by [[Soulcaster]]s to 'cast barracks, wood or - most importantly - food. However, only [[ardent|ardents]] possessed Soulcasters and these were owned by King Elhokar.
