▲The '''
[[Dalinar Kholin]] requested the title be given to him so he could unite the Alethi highprinces. King [[Elhokar]] replied that he would do this if Dalinar could provide him with proof that the other highprinces would be willing to work together. Dalinar proceeded to approach each highprince individually and was turned down each time for various reasons until he successfully managed to convince Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]] to attempt bridge runs with him.{{book ref|sa1|18}}
Only after Dalinar survived Sadeas's betrayal at the [[Battle of the Tower]] did he force Elhokar to name him the Highprince of War.{{book ref|twok|69}}
Dalinar used his new authority to change the distribution of [[gemheart]]s on the [[Shattered Plains]] so that the war would no longer consist of the highprinces competing for the gemhearts. Instead, he assigned pairs of highprinces to go on each run, which he hoped would help teach them to work together, and claimed the gemhearts as property of the king, to be distributed back to the highprinces as rewards for their obedience and effectiveness in battle. Along with this change in how the highprinces would be acquiring gemhearts, Dalinar also used his position to encourage the other highprinces to follow the [[Alethi Codes of War]], though he stopped short of seizing their assets for failure to do so.{{book ref|sa2|5}}
Following the creation of the [[Everstorm]] and their arrival at [[Urithiru]], [[Dalinar]] is forced to take full control of the individual armies of all highprinces, in an effort to fully unify all of the Alethi, and in order to continue training and squash additional squabbles.{{book ref|sa3|2}}
