'''Highprince Ruthar''' is a [[highprince]] of [[Alethkar]] on [[Roshar]]. His [[Ruthar princedom|princedom]] is on Alethkar's eastern border.{{map ref|Alethkar}} His colors are red and light blue.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
=== True Desolation ===
Ruthar continued to attend policy and strategy meetings in Urithiru after Sadeas' murder, though he remained hostile to Dalinar and took pleasure in provoking Aladar, who had switched sides to become Dalinar's ally.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Because he didn't have the sense to avoid engaging in a verbal spat with [[Jasnah]] at one of the meetings of monarchs, Dalinar had a leap of intuition that allowed the coalition to meet [[Odium]]'s forces at [[Thaylen City]] instead of at [[Jah Keved]], where they previously thought Odium would attack.{{book ref|sa3|107}}▼
After the coalition's victory in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] and their efforts throughout the subsequent year, Ruthar accompanied the Alethi army as they marched on [[Emul]]. He was the only highprince to do so, as he was the least trusted by the Kholins, and Dalinar had sent the others out to oversee different operations.{{book ref|sa4|27}}{{book ref|sa4|50}}

Jasnah, aware of Ruthar's continuing hostility, carefully laid out a trap for him so he would disgrace himself. She made sure he saw her giving suggestions and discussing strategy with the [[Mink]]; having been forbidden from partaking in the war planning that day, he grew steadily more frustrated until he snapped and loudly declared his dissatisfaction with having an atheist woman leading the country and partaking in masculine arts. Jasnah directed [[Wit]] to insult him until Ruthar demanded a trial by sword. Though Dalinar reminded him that he risked forfeiting his title and lands if he killed Wit, Ruthar was insistent; Wit instead chose to elect a champion to fight for him and gave the opportunity to Jasnah. Ruthar, outraged at Jasnah's audacity, refused to fight and dropped his sword, so Jasnah stabbed him through the neck. Renarin quickly healed Ruthar, who was then stripped of his title and replaced as highprince by his son Relis.{{book ref|sa4|50}}
