Sebarial accompanied the other Alethi highprinces to the Shattered Plains in pursuit of the [[Vengeance Pact]]. However, because he recognized that the battles for the [[gemheart]]s meant Alethkar would never completely abandon the warcamps, he preferred to focus on building mills, farms, and other manufactories in lieu of participating in plateau runs; his burgeoning economy supported markets, fully constructed tenements, and even [[lavis]] fields to the southwest of the camp. His warcamp, reflecting his prediction of Alethkar's semi-permanent presence there, was built much more like a city than any of the others, with straight streets and buildings designed with rounded roofs, corners, and sides to better repel winds from [[highstorm|highstorms]].{{book ref|sa2|40}}{{book ref|sa2|55}}
After the [[Assassin in White]]'s first attempt on, ostensibly, King [[Elhokar]]'s life, the king and the highprinces convened to discuss matters. Sebarial, whose contributions to the meeting were confined to snacking and making pithy remarks, was faced with an unexpected opportunity when [[Shallan Davar]] arrived in the middle of the meeting; seeking a way to avoid living under [[Dalinar]]'s watchful eye, she alleged that Sebarial had been the first to offer her a place to stay on the Shattered Plains. Having observed the way the others had been trying to snatch her up, he claimed a distant relation to Shallan and confirmed her story.{{book ref|sa2|38}} After sharing a carriage ride back to his warcamp, Sebarial gave Shallan rooms in his manor and a position as one of his clerks tasked with organizing his personal finances.{{book ref|sa2|40}}{{book ref|sa2|60}}

Sebarial spent a fair amount of his time in idleness, avoiding putting his ledgers in order or seeing to other details of organizing his household.{{book ref|sa2|47}} He did attend important functions, including [[Adolin]]'s duel against four other [[Shardbearer]]s,{{book ref|sa2|57}} but was otherwise noted for shirking his responsibilities.{{book ref|sa2|75}} Because of this, Dalinar was shocked when Sebarial brought his army to join him on his expedition to [[Stormseat]] to end the war with the [[Parshendi]] and discover [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa2|76}}

Though Sebarial did not partake in fighting personally, he participated in tactical planning sessions as they moved towards the city of Narak.{{book ref|sa2|80}} When the [[Battle of Narak|battle]] arrived, Dalinar ordered him to stay in the command tent and gave [[Teleb]] command of his army with [[Rust Elthal|Rust]] and [[Serugiadis]], two other Shardbearers, to help him. Sebarial seemed ironically comforted to see through Dalinar's confident front that he had shown the other highprinces.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
When it became clear that the Parshendi had successfully summoned an [[Everstorm]] and the Alethi knew they needed to get onto the [[Oathgate]] plateau, Sebarial managed to organize his and [[Roion]]'s armies into an orderly march onto the plateau before sitting down with [[Palona]] to eat fruit and drink some wine from Dalinar's stores.{{book ref|sa2|86}} He and the other survivors moved into Urithiru and shortly sent word to the warcamps summoning the inhabitants to the tower; his warcamp emptied as everyone obeyed.{{book ref|sa2|87}}

[[Palona]] is Sebarial's [[Herdaz|Herdazian]] mistress. She calls him "Turi." And also sometimes "the idiot." She has a much more active hand in running the day-to-day workings of the manor that Sebarial does. They enjoy witty banter and seem genuinely fond of each other despite their outward griping.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Palona perfectly complements Sebarial's dichotomy of outward indolence masking inward cleverness with her own lack of arrogance as she takes full advantage of her wealth.{{book ref|sa2|47}}

[[Shallan Davar]] maneuvers Sebarial into hosting her when she arrives on the Shattered Plains, gambling that he would agree to take her in if he sees it as an opportunity to get one up on [[Dalinar]]. He claims a distant relation to her, and she begins calling him "Uncle Sebarial." She also specifies a large weekly stipend of three [[broam]]s, which Palona ensures that they pay.{{book ref|sa2|38}} Shallan cleans up Sebarial's ledgers for him and lures him with information on [[Urithiru]] in the event she needs to rely on him to get out onto the [[Shattered Plains]] herself.{{book ref|sa2|60}}
