Lighteyes, both men and women, often wear clothing made from silk. Beards are eschewed by the nobility, although this doesn’t stop some from wearing them. Traditional clothing includes a skirt like garment called an [[ulatu]], which may be worn with a shirt and a robe over the top, and mink pelts.{{book ref|sa2|19}} Also Vakama.{{book ref|sa4|20}}

The Alethi have a long history of monarchies rising and falling, with few families able to retain authority for any significant period of time.

The monarch has the right to promote individuals into the position of a classical Highprince if they deem it necessary, therefore consolidating inter-princedom national power in certain aspects of government into individuals.{{book ref|sa1|18}} This right is controversial, and only began to be put into use late into the War of Reckoning in {{rosharan date|1173}}, when King Elhokar granted highprince Torol Sadeas the position of [[Highprince of Information]] and Dalinar Kholin the position of [[Highprince of War]].{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa1|69}}
