When Gavilar was assassinated by [[Szeth]] under the orders of the [[Parshendi]] in {{Rosharan date|1167}},{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} his son [[Elhokar Kholin]] became king and declared war on the killers. Each of the highprinces joined the [[Vengeance Pact]] and they set out into the [[Shattered Plains]] to besiege the Parshendi in the [[War of Reckoning]].
Late into the War of Reckoning, after [[Navani Kholin]] left Aesudan to rule for herself after deeming her fit to do so without her advisement, Kholinar was infiltrated by [[Ashertmarn]], [[Sja-anat]], and [[Yelig-nar]]. These Unmade caused Aesudan to fall into an abyss of decadence, throwing lavish feasts as Kholinar society collapsed around her, while Sja-anat corrupted the spren of the city; and Yelig-nar bonded with Aesudan, but she ultimately coudln't handle it and it led to her death.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}{{book ref|sa3|84}}▼
During the war, the highprince Dalinar Kholin began to have visions of the past, and warnings of the future. These visions caused other highprinces and his soldiers to start doubting his sanity. However, over time, his talking during these visions led to the decipherment of the [[Dawnchant]]. These translations began to spread amongst scholars, leading to an immense increase in Rosharan understanding of their own history as they learned how to translate various ancient texts.
In late {{rosharan date|1173}}, Reshi border encroachments grew increasingly bold, recognizing the weakening state of Alethkar due to the prolonged War of Reckoning.{{book ref|sa1|18}}
