'''Highprince Turinad{{book ref|sa3|104}} Sebarial''' is a [[highprince]] of [[Alethkar]] on [[Roshar]]. His banner, colored gold on black, consists of the ''sebes'' and ''laial'' [[glyphs]] stylized as a [[skyeel]].{{book ref|sa2|40}}

== Appearance and Personality ==
Sebarial is described as plump and bearded. He is outwardly a very obnoxious, rude, lazy, and vulgar man, and comes across as a fool, though he is actually quite intelligent, and very sly. He avoids publicly showing his interest in the Alethi politics, but privately he is seen todoes pay some attention.{{book ref|worsa2|38}}
 
Though Sebarial himself doesis not seem very religious, his ardents[[ardent]]s are veryquite devout.{{book ref|worsa2|63}} Likewise, though he himself is useless in battle, Sebarial'she sees to it that his soldiers are well trained. Sebarial's genius is that he knows how to hire the right people for a job.{{book ref|worsa2|81}}

}}
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}}
== Warcamp and Economics ==
=== Banner ===▼
Sebarial's banner bears the glyphs [[Stormlight Archive/glossary#s|sebes]] and [[Stormlight Archive/glossary#l|laial]], which are stylized into a golden sky eel on a black field.{{book ref|wor|40}}
 
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}}
=== Warcamp ===▼
Sebarial is very proud of his camp. The buildings are constructed up against one another for shared support, with rounded roofs, corners, and sides to better repel winds from the [[highstorm|highstorms]].{{book ref|wor|40}} The camp contains markets and fully constructed tenements, and farmers have begun to set up lavis fields on the hills in the southwest of camp.{{book ref|wor|55}} The camp smells of leather, spice and industry, and sometimes livestock.{{book ref|wor|52}} [[Kaladin]] describes his warcamp as being more like a city than any of the others.{{book ref|wor|55}}
 
=== Battle of Narak ===
Little Herdaz is located within Sebarial's warcamp.{{book ref|wor|87}}

=== Economics ===
| Sebarial to [[Dalinar]]{{book ref|sa2|76}}
Sebarial has the most tailors, cooks, and artisans of all ten warcamps, and he has control over the glassblowers. Sebarial has all but stopped participating in plateau runs, barely sending his armies for one per month, as his industries are netting more money than he would from gathering [[gemheart|gemhearts]].{{book ref|wor|40}}
}}
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}}
▲== Manor ==
[[Shallan Davar|Shallan]] describes the manor as modest. Not enormous, the building is of a refined classical design, making use of pillars along the front, and a taller row of buildings in the back as a wind break. The grounds are filled with ornamental [[shalebark]], a flagstone drive, and some trees.
 
== Relationships ==
Indoors, the manor contains much marble and crystal. There are statues trimmed with gold and a staircase leading to a balcony on the second floor that overlooks the entrance hall. The east wing of the manor contains white rooms richly furnished, with silk hangings and thick rugs softening the walls and floor. The beds are luxurious, as well.{{book ref|wor|40}}

== Quotes ==▼
{{quote
| Bah! Woman, you make me the most henpecked man in all of Alethkar, and I'm not even storming married!
| Sebarial to [[Palona]]{{book ref|worsa2|40}}
}}
[[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}}
 
▲== Quotes ==

| Onward, then! To glory and some such nonsense. If we find riches, remember that I get my part! I got here before Aladar. That has to count for something.
