=== People ===
The Alethi people are generally tan -- darker-skinned than the [[Veden]], but not as dark as the [[Makabak]]i -- with dark, typically black hair.{{book ref|sa1|3}} They are typically extremely tall, standing on average at least a foot taller than people living further West.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}} In the late [[Era of Solitude]], the Alethi tan and black hair are considered the general standard of beauty.{{book ref|sa1|3}} Multicolored hair is also present within Alethkar and is an indication of mixed heritage. Some see this as a sign of an "impure" bloodline,{{book ref|sa2|38}} while others use it as evidence of Alethkar's superiority, hard won through conquest.{{cite|I think this is a Dalinar flashback moment but I'm too tired to find it tonight}} Among the Heralds, [[Jezrien]] and [[Vedel|Vedeleev]] look Alethi.{{wob ref|11325}}
