||
− | During the [[War of Reckoning]], Hatham fell behind on his payments to King [[Elhokar]], one of the many acts of the [[highprince]]s which undermined Elhokar's rule.{{book ref|sa1|18}} When [[Dalinar Kholin]] began approaching the highprinces one by one to try to unite them, Hatham very politely declined to ally himself with Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|28}} He was speaking with a group that included two [[lighteyes]], an [[ardent]], and a [[Natan]] named [[Au-nak]] at one of Elhokar's [[feasting basin|feasts]] when Dalinar joined them. They discussed the [[Emul]]i-[[Tukar]]i war, and Hatham mentioned that his wife would be interested when Au-nak explained that the conflict centered around both nations wanting [[Sesemalex Dar]], as the city was one of the [[Dawncities]]. Hatham attempted to resolve the conflict between his companions when they argued over whether it was a religious or economic conflict and tried to call Au-nak back when he left in a huff, feeling insulted by the ardent. Hatham pursued Au-nak, leaving his ardent to explain to Dalinar that he had set up the whole encounter so that the Natan would overlook how quickly Hatham would then agree to his demands.{{book ref|sa1|54}} |

Sadeas was jealous of Hatham's [[Ryshadium]].{{book ref|sa2|29}} He stayed reasonably quiet during the meeting which [[Shallan]] introduced herself to the court on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|38}} |

− | Once at Urithiru, Hatham held an economic edge as [[Stormlight]] became scarce.{{book ref|sa3|8}} He was named [[Highprince of Works]], the highprince responsible for managing the kingdom's infrastructure, including both physical aspects of systems like sewage disposal and the civil service that carried out the necessary labor.{{book ref|sa3|104}} He also tried to grow [[lavis]] on the fields around the tower, but the elevation proved an insurmountable problem at first.{{book ref|sa3|28}} Having given his allegiance to Dalinar, he met with [[Navani]] alongside [[Sebarial]], [[Aladar]], and [[Mishinah Bethab]] to express their concern over her husband's drunken and reclusive behavior after his memories of the [[Rift]] were restored. After they presented their problems, Navani managed to allay their concerns and bolster their spirits as they discussed how to meet the tower's pressing needs.{{book ref|sa3|104}} Hatham also attended the meetings of the [[coalition of monarchs]]{{book ref|sa3|107}} and survived the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] to attend Dalinar's post-battle strategy meeting with his generals and scribes.{{book ref|sa3|122}} |
||
+ | Following the Battle of Narak and the advent of the [[Everstorm]], most of the [[highprince]]s, including Hatham, relocated to [[Urithiru]]. Hatahm was named [[Highprince of Works]], the highprince responsible for managing the kingdom's infrastructure, including both physical aspects of systems like sewage disposal and the civil service that carries out the necessary labor.{{book ref|sa3|104}} |
