Diferencia entre revisiones de «Torol Sadeas»

Torol Sadeas was the closest friend of Gavilar and Dalinar Kholin during the Unification of Alethkar. He and Gavilar would plot together, discussing strategy and the direction of the war. House Sadeas was one of the three kingdoms to fight alongside the Kholins.{{book ref|sa3|11}}

 

 

Sadeas was very proficient at politics since his early years. He would speak persuasively to gain new allies; if he was not convinced of their full loyalty, he would find "Alethi" ways to get rid of them. His wife, Ialai Sadeas, was known among their friends for coming up with elaborate schemes for getting rid of the problematic allies.{{book ref|sa3|19}}

 

=== The Rift ===

 

[[Tanalan]], son of [[Tanalan's father|old Tanalan]] who was murdered by Dalinar ten years ago,{{book ref|sa3|11}} led [[Rathalas]]. Now a young leader, he retained intense contempt for Dalinar despite Dalinar's mercy towards him as a small boy and led his people in rebellion against the Kholins. Gavilar had tried diplomacy and indirect fear (sending Dalinar to [[Herdaz]]), but failed.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Eventually, he had to agree to send an army and take the city by force.{{book ref|sa3|66}}

 

When Dalinar got back to camp, he found that his army thought he was dead. He and Sadeas decided to delay sending the news of his survival to Gavilar and decided not only to attack but to utterly destroy the Rift.{{book ref|sa3|75}} They do so, and in the process, Evi is accidentally murdered.{{book ref|sa3|76}}

 

 

=== The War of Reckoning ===

Back in the pavilion on the Plains, Elhokar remarked to Dalinar that Sadeas had won three gemhearts in the last few weeks, followed up by chiding Dalinar for not having won any himself in that time. Both Elhokar and Sadeas made use of the topic to highlight many of Sadeas' achievements, which Dalinar calls into question, especially the act of sending unprotected [[bridgemen]] against the [[Parshendi]]. While Elhokar noted that Sadeas' bridge crews were more efficient than Dalinar's, and were why he was able to win so many gemhearts, Dalinar was of the opinion that Sadeas' method wasted lives. Sadeas, however, felt that Dalinar's reliance on wheels to maneuver his bridges was foolish.

 

 

 

Dalinar investigated the cut girth strap on the king's saddle, but at one particular king's feast, Elhokar announced that in light of the recent attempt on his life with the saddle, he is appointing Sadeas the [[Highprince of Information]] to investigate. This was to spite Dalinar, who Elhokar believed was not taking the investigation seriously. Sadeas learned of Dalinar's request to be [[Highprince of War]] and this was Sadeas' way of outmaneuvering his opponent.{{book ref|sa1|22}}

Right after being vindicated, Dalinar proposed that Sadeas and he work together in capturing the [[Tower (Roshar)|Tower]], a distant plateau near the Parshendi side of the Plains on which the Alethi have never won a gemheart. Dalinar suggested combining forces to which Sadeas agreed only after they can agree on the division of spoils, particularly any Blades which may be won.

 

 

The plan worked well for a time. Sadeas managed to get his forces across the bridges and onto the Tower, carving out a landing platform for Dalinar to follow. Both forces were separated by the Parshendi, Sadeas to the west, Dalinar on the eastern edge, fighting inward. When another Parshendi force appeared behind Dalinar, Sadeas retreated to the northern plateau, pulling the eight bridge crews he'd leant to the Kholinar army with him and abandoning Dalinar Kholin.

=== After the Battle of the Tower ===

 

 

After a failed plateau assault on the Shattered Plains, Adolin spoke to [[Jakamav]] about his attempts at winning Shardblades and Shardplate through duels and his frustration at how no-one will rise to his challenge. Jakamav tells him that Sadeas has been making offers and promises to shardbearers in return for them turning down his challenges in order to stop his father's plans, and suggests [[Eranniv]] as one who might be more interested in fame than Sadeas' offers.{{book ref|sa2|26}}

Shortly after the murder, another corpse was found. The victim was [[Vedekar Perel]]; and the only connection between both murders was that they not only have the same cause of death but the wounds are identical as well. It was later confirmed that this second kill was caused by the unmade [[Re-Shephir]], the Midnight Mother, as a copy of Sadeas' muder.{{book ref|sa3|29}}

 

 

After Torol Sadeas' death, Ialai Sadeas named Highmarshal [[Meridas Amaram]] regent and heir to the house title, making him Highprince Sadeas. {{book ref|sa2|27}} By doing this, she confirmed a division with the Kholins. This division continued until the end of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], where [[Odium]] used Sadeas' troops to fight against the rest of the Alethi.
