===Rule of Alethkar===
Gavilar Kholin took the Alethi crown, and married [[Navani]], siring [[Jasnah]] in 1139, and [[Elhokar]]
Around the year 1150, Gavilar sent Dalinar to the borders of Alethkar in order to fight Herdazians and Vedens as a gesture of Kholin strength, and to defend the security of the border.{{book ref|sa3|49}} This helped him to become one of Gavilar's best generals.
Starting in an unknown year, Jasnah renounced Vorinism and became an infamous heretic and academic across all of Alethkar. Gavilar attempted to get Jasnah to marry [[Meridas Amaram]] until his death, although this never came to be.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
Despite the Kholins gaining unquestionable control over Alethkar, the people of Rathalas continued to question their rule and rebel against them. ▼
▲Despite the Kholins gaining unquestionable control over Alethkar, the people of Rathalas continued to question their rule and rebel against them. Gavilar attempted to solve the issue diplomatically, but none of his attempts were able to quell the rebellion.
In the year 1163, Gavilar sent Dalinar and Sadaes to quell the rebellion in Rathalas, having run out of options. Dalinar suggested a peaceful solution, and [[Tanalan|Tanalan's son]]seemingly accepted the truce, he tricked Dalinar and buried him under rubble. In his anger, Dalinar burned the entire city of Rathalas to the ground, killing all of its inhabitants. The burning of Rathalas also brought about the death of Evi Kholin. The Kholin family worked to cover up the truth of Evi's death, and of the Burning of Rathalas.{{book ref|sa3|76}}
Following Gavilar's [[Szeth|assassination]] in 1167, Elhokar, as the sole male heir, succeeded the throne.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Some time before his father's death, he had married [[Aesudan]] and had a single son, [[Gavinor]] in the early years of the [[War of Reckoning]]. In response to the assassination of Gavilar, the Vengeance Pact was issued between the Ten Highprinces, including Dalinar Kholin, starting the War of Reckoning. Following this, the Elhokar, Dalinar, Adolin, and Renarin moved to the [[Shattered Plains]] in order to assist in the war efforts, and with this the seat of power shifted to the Shattered Plains{{book ref|sa2|67}}. Navani eventually moved to the Shattered Plains as well, after several years of remaining at Kholinar to assist Aesudan.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
After Navani left, Aesudan began to fall into an abyss of decadence, and was corrupted by [[Ashertmarn]] and [[Yelig-nar]]. She threw lavish feasts, reveling in excess, increasing taxes, and allowing food sent in by farmers for the soldiers at the Shattered Plains to rot away. This turned the populace to turn against her, and made the city fall into decay.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}{{book ref|sa3|67}}
An assassination attempt was made on Dalinar by Szeth, Gavilar's assassin, under the orders of [[Taravangian]]. This failed due to the assistance of Adolin and [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|sa2|32}}
Jasnah, Dalinar, and Renarin went to a military expedition in Emul against Tukar and the Voidbringers, in order to gain Emul as an ally. While Adolin and Shallan went to [[Lasting Integrity]] as a delegation to convince the Honorspren to once again start bonding to humans to create Windrunners. Upon arriving, they tried Adolin for the crimes of the Recreance.
Dalinar negotiated with Odium, setting the conditions of the Contest of Champions based upon the document written by Jasnah and Wit, which would decide the fate of Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|112}}
