The Alethi army was composed of ten armies, each formed by soldiers from one princedom and led by the corresponding [[highprince]]. The highprinces were [[Roion]], [[Torol Sadeas]], [[Aladar]], [[Dalinar Kholin]], [[Vamah]], [[Ruthar]], [[Thanadal]], [[Hatham]], [[Bethab]] and [[Sebarial]].{{map ref
The ten warcamps were situated in hollows on the leeward side of the [[Shattered Plains]].{{map ref
The Parshendi had one army. Their camp was on a big plateau in the center of the Shattered Plains.
The original plan of the Alethi highprinces was to attack the Parshendi and defeat them in that attack. However, upon arriving at the Shattered Plains, the highprinces realized that a full-scale attack on the plateau in the centre of the Shattered Plains would present huge risks because of [[highstorm]]s.

Also the chasms were flooded during every highstorm which made it impossible to advance on the bottom of the chasms.{{ref|b|sa1|c|43}}

When Dalinar worked together with Sadeas, a chasmfied was spotted on the Tower.{{ref|b|sa1|c|64}} According to their plan, Sadeas, whose armies were faster than Dalinar's, had to clear a space on the Tower for Dalinar's troops, who were better trained, to engage the Parshendi.{{ref|b|sa1|c|64}} This worked as planned until Sadeas abandoned Dalinar, leaving no way to retreat for Dalinar.{{ref|b|sa1|c|65}}
