== History == |

⚫ | |||
⚫ | Although the orders of [[Knights Radiant]] were centered in Urithiru, Alethela was their home, and Radiants lived in cities throughout the nation, crossing borders to fight.{{ref|b|twok|c|19}} Alethela was considered to be dedicated to the arts of war so that no other kingdom had to do so. They consider it their duty to protect all the other nations. People went to Alethela if they could fight or wanted to be trained. Those who had fought the [[Ten Deaths]] could go to Alethela and be trained so that the changes wrought in them by fighting the Ten Deaths would not destroy them. |
