Alethkar was founded as Alethela in the [[Silver Kingdoms]] Epoch. It survived the Desolations, but at an unknown point was fractured into the Princedoms.
Under this system, the ten [[Highprince]]s acted as Kings of their own lands, with no unifying government.
When Gavilar was assassinated{{ref|b|sa1|prologue}} by the [[Parshendi]] in 1167, his son [[Elhokar Kholin]] became King and declared war on the Parshendi. Each of the Highprinces joined the [[Vengeance Pact]], and they went to the [[Shattered Plains]] to besiege the Parshendi in the [[War of Reckoning]]. The siege took much longer than was expected, and was still active by 1173.
