| − | === |
+ | === Recent history === |
| − | + | At some point in time, Alethkar is fractured into ten separate princedoms, with each highprince being a ''de facto'' king in his own princedom. During this time, Alethkar is effectively a loose coalition of ten separate states, being a unified kingdom in name only. |
|
| − | In approximately {{ |
+ | In approximately {{date/sa|year=1158}}, Highprince [[Gavilar Kholin]] goes to war against the other princedoms and by approximately {{date/sa|year=1163}}, he conquers and unites the ten princedoms once again, establishing himself as King. This reunified kingdom is not as strong as the ancient Alethkar, with the highprinces retaining large amounts of authority and autonomy.{{book ref|sa1|12}} |
| − | After Gavilar's death, his son [[Elhokar Kholin|Elhokar]] |
+ | After Gavilar's death, his son [[Elhokar Kholin|Elhokar]] becomes King of Alethkar while his brother [[Dalinar Kholin|Dalinar]] becomes Highprince of Kholin.{{book ref|sa1|12}} In the year {{date/sa|year=1173}}, King Elhokar, at the demand of Highprince Dalinar, reinstates two of the ancient specialized highprince titles—the Highprinces of Information and War—in an effort to once again create a truly unified kingdom of Alethkar. |
| − | |||
| − | In the following year, Dalinar reinstated the titles of [[Highprince of Commerce]] and [[Highprince of Works]],{{book ref|sa3|2}}{{book ref|sa3|104}} presumably with Elhokar's blessing. |
