[[Alethkar]] has had ten highprinces throughout its history.{{book ref|sa1|18}} In the ancient past, when Alethkar was a united kingdom, the ten Alethi highprinces were specialized and each was charged with governing a certain aspect of the entire kingdom.{{book ref|sa1|18}} [[Gavilar Kholin]] believes that this system forced the ten highprinces to work together and accept each other's authority.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Only four of the ten ancient titles are known:
* The '''[[Highprince of Commerce]]''' had authority over all merchants and his troops would patrol the roads across all ten princedoms.{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa2|29}}
* The '''[[Highprince of Information]]''' had authority over criminal investigations and policing across the entire kingdom and appointed judges and magistrates.{{book ref|sa1|22}}{{book ref|sa2|29}} Of particular interest to the Highprince of Information were criminal investigations where the Crown's interest was at stake.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
* The '''[[Highprince of War]]''' had control over the kingdom's combined military forces (implied to only hold this power in a time of actual war).{{book ref|sa1|22}}{{book ref|sa1|24}}
* The '''[[Highprince of Works]]''' had management of the kingdoms infrastructure, such as sewage disposal, civil services, and potentially [[Stormlight]] management; with the increase in uses for Stormlight since the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa3|104}}
