▲After a failed plateau assault on the [[Shattered Plains]], [[Adolin]] is talking to [[Jakamav]] about his attempts at winning Shardblades and [[Shardplate]]s through duels and his frustration at how no-one will rise to his challenge. Jakamav tells him that Sadeas has been making offers and promises to shardbearers in return for them turning down his challenges in order to stop his father's plans, and suggests [[Eranniv]] as one who might be more interested in fame than Sadeas' offers.{{book ref|sa2|26}}

▲Sadeas begins to undermine both Dalinar and [[Elhokar]] by using his swift bridge crews to go on plateau runs when it is not his turn in the rotation, arriving before the scheduled parties and then triumphantly throwing the harvested gemheart at their feet, before leaving.{{book ref|sa2|29}} This later develops to him simply pretending the gemheart had been lost, but secretly keeping it in order to further push the thrones authority.{{book ref|sa2|49}}

▲Sadeas is present at the duel between Adolin and Eranniv with his wife. He spends the duration speaking with his wife about their plots and about Dalinar's attempts to unite the [[Highprince]]s.{{book ref|sa2|29}}

▲Sadeas is later at the same winehouse that Adolin and [[Shallan]] visit together. Whilst waiting out the [[highstorm]] in the safety of the [[lighteyes]]' bunker Sadeas approaches Adolin and begins goading him about the Battle of the Tower and how he intends to do away with both Elhokar and Adolin. Sadeas is wearing uncut gems along his clothes, from a gemheart he had won earlier on the Shattered Plains but which he had claimed to have lost.{{book ref|sa2|50}}

▲After Adolin's duel with the 4 Shardbearers is won, Sadeas is forced to accept his boon of a challenge. However due to [[Kaladin]] interrupting, Adolin only gets to seek a challenge and not to pin down the time. As such, Sadeas takes the liberty of accepting to duel the young man a year after the date. He puts on an air of control and mirth after this, but in secret is terrified to see that Adolin is becoming another Blackthorn, like his father.{{book ref|sa2|58}}

▲On the last day before the Weeping Sadeas and his wife are taking a ride, supposedly for pleasure but in fact to assuage the extent of Sebarial's warcamp's industry. He speaks with his wife about Dalinar and Elhokar. Ialai believes they should seize the opportunity to attempt a coup on the [[Pinnacle]], but Sadeas mentions it won't be necessary, and also points out the failure of their last assassin. After Highprince [[Aladar]] joins with Dalinar's forces, Sadeas is stunned, and thinks on the events for a long time, before ultimately deciding that it does not matter, as they will all die on the Shattered Plains and that they must set about deciding who will take their places as Highprinces.{{book ref|sa2|76}}

▲Surprisingly, [[Dalinar]]'s call to the [[Shattered Plains#Warcamps|Alethi Warcamps]] is answered by Sadeas as quickly as it is by [[Shattered Plains|Aladar warcamp]] and [[Shattered Plains|Roion warcamp]].{{book ref|sa2|88}} Sadeas personally makes his way to [[Urithiru]] with [[Ialai Sadeas|his wife]]. They are exploring the large tower when [[Adolin]] comes upon Sadeas alone. Sadeas mentions to [[Adolin]] how he has already started planning the next round of rumours against [[Dalinar|his father]], using [[Rlain|a parshman]] being in his [[Bridge Four|personal guard]] as an explanation for how he managed to have the [[Parshendi]] co-operate with him and form a ruse (the [[Battle of Narak]]). [[Adolin]]'s anger at his constant attempt at vaingloriously undermining [[Dalinar]] turns violent, and he proceeds to stab his side-knife through the [[Highprince]]'s eye. [[Adolin]] takes his [[Shardblade]] and throws it off the side of Urithiru, then proceeds to get rid of any other evidence that he had been there before proceeding to rejoin his scouting party.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
