+ | The '''Eastern Crownlands''' was an area of land in the southeastern part of [[Alethkar]].{{map ref|Alethkar}} As the Eastern Crownlands did not appear to be attached to any highprince, it seems likely that they were the property of [[Elhokar]], the king of Alethkar. People of the Crownlands, particularly those from Rathalas, have a distinctive nasally accent.{{book ref|sa3|11}} |

− | It is the part of Alethkar closest to the [[Shattered Plains]] and presumably gets hit quite hard by [[highstorm]]s. It contains most of the [[Deathbend River]], including several tributaries.{{map ref|Alethkar}} The Sea of Spears is technically a lake and is often referred to as such;{{book ref|sa3|66}} its waters also flow into the Deathbend.{{map ref|Alethkar}} The city of [[Rathalas]] sits in a canyon carved into rocky terrain at the north end of the lake, giving it the nickname "the Rift".{{book ref|sa3|11}} Other land around the lake consists of plains, and includes riverbeds that are dry unless there has been a recent storm. [[Rockbud]]s on the plains consume large amounts of water when it is available and grow to massive sizes, with trunks as tall as a man's waist and vines as thick as a wrist.{{book ref|sa3|71}} |

+ | The Eastern Crownlands is one of the areas conquered during [[Gavilar]] Kholin's quest to unite Alethkar into a single kingdom. The city of Rathalas and its leaders rebelled against Gavilar's rule both before and after the unification of the country. After attempts to politically quell the situation fail, [[Dalinar]] Kholin and [[Torol]] Sadeas march on Rathalas and raze the city to set an example for the other highprinces. During this battle, Dalinar's wife, [[Evi]] Kholin, is killed. |
