== History ==

Aladar came into the position of highprince when Highprince [[Yenev]] was defeated in a duel by [[Torol Sadeas]]. After Yenev's death, Aladar was given control of his princedom due to his alliance with [[Gavilar]].{{book ref|sa2|55}} Later, he and Sadeas began engaging in territory disputes.{{book ref|sa2|38}}

 

|Damnation. I '''hate''' that you’re so good at this.

Like most of the highprinces, Aladar used armored troops to carry bridges on the Plains; however, as Sadeas had more and more success with using [[bridgemen]] as easy targets, Aladar and the others began copying his methods. After the new rules concerning plateau assaults and gemheart distribution took effect, Aladar went on plateau runs as commanded and reluctantly followed some tactical advice given to him by Dalinar. Despite this, Aladar again refused Dalinar's offer of alliance in the interest of keeping the favor of the other highprinces{{book ref|sa2|8}} and instead allied with Sadeas, albeit resignedly.{{book ref|sa2|29}}

 

Aladar attended Dalinar and [[Navani]]'s wedding at their invitation.{{book ref|sa3|4}} Later, when [[Vedekar Perel]]'s corpse was found imitating Sadeas' manner of death, Dalinar gave [[Adolin]] charge over the investigation and sent him to Aladar to act as his liaison working alongside one of Aladar's policing teams.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Even after Sadeas' death and [[Amaram]]'s elevation to highprince of the Sadeas princedom, there remained great tension between Aladar's soldiers and those of Sadeas.{{book ref|sa3|64}} In keeping with his staunch support of Dalinar, however, he sent word to Navani quietly requesting her seal to set [[Teft]] free when the lieutenant was brought before his magistrates on a charge of "public intoxication on [[firemoss]]."{{book ref|sa3|104}}

 

As Dalinar began reaching out to the other rulers in Roshar in order to unify the world against the voidbringers, he relied on having a team with him and included Aladar in his sessions talking to the other monarchs via [[spanreed]]. Aladar pointed out to Dalinar during his conversation with Queen [[Fen]] that Dalinar's knowledge of the [[Knights Radiant]] was valuable as a bargaining tool to compel people to work ''with'' him, advice that Dalinar took despite his desire to be totally transparent in his dealings with the monarchs.{{book ref|sa3|12}} At another of Dalinar's meetings, Aladar spoke up in defense of his assessment of the enemy's motives, and Highprince [[Ruthar]] cut him down rudely.{{book ref|sa3|27}}

Aladar led the meeting of monarchs in Dalinar's absence on the day Dalinar was recovered enough to attend. They discussed plans preparing for battle at [[Jah Keved]] until Dalinar realized that [[Odium]]'s forces were instead going to attack [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|107}} The next meeting took place in Thaylen City itself, and Aladar was present to hear the various information leaks, including the translation of the [[Eila Stele]], that sought to tear apart the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
