'''Highprince Thanadal''' is a [[highprince]] of [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa1|18}} His [[Thanadal princedom| princedom]] is in central Alethkar
== Appearance and Personality ==
Thanadal is an oily man,{{book ref|sa2|24}} and one Sadeas views as having both the motivation and the audacity to be able to hire assassins against [[Elhokar]].{{book ref|sa2|29}}
== History ==
While out on the [[Shattered Plains]] during the [[War of Reckoning]], Thanadal refused to discuss the issue of a joint plateau assault with [[Dalinar]], sending a messenger declining the possibility without even meeting him in person.{{book ref|sa1|28}} Because he began to be vocal about Dalinar's faults, [[Adolin]] invited Resi to a duel and defeated him, quietly countering the accusations.{{book ref|sa1|58}} Later, Adolin dueled [[Salinor Eved]], another of Thanadal's Shardbearers, and won his Blade in a particularly brutal manner during Dalinar's campaign to win the other highprinces' Shards.{{book ref|sa2|14}}
Thanadal was a member of the [[Sons of Honor]].{{book ref|sa4|7}} During the year following the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] he had rose up their ranks and became aware of the group's secrets. The [[Ghostbloods]] ultimately assassinated him despite him trying to negotiate.{{book ref|sa4|7}}
The Kholins used to think that [[Ialai Sadeas]] was the one who ordered Highprinces Vamah and Thanadal to be assassinated.{{book ref|sa4|6}} But, moments from her death, Ialai told [[Shallan]] that the [[Ghostbloods]] were the ones who actually assassinated the two Highprinces.{{book ref|sa4|7}}
== Trivia ==
* Thanadal never actually appears on-screen and is never described in the books.
▲Since the [[Battle of Narak]], and the following settling of the tower city of [[Urithiru]], most of the Alethi [[highprince]]s have moved across the [[Shattered Plains]] with their war camps in tow. In leaving the Alethi [[highprince]]s abandoned the craters they occupied as well as surrounding land and resources; leaving them for the few [[highprince]]s, that decided not the make for [[Urithiru]], to take for themselves. Highprince [[Thanadal]] is one of the [[highprince]]s that decided to stay behind in what were the war camps and has reportedly built himself a virtual kingdom of his own {{book ref|sa3|104}} in the void other [[highprince]]s left behind. The political implications of Thanadal's refusal to join in Urithiru and subsequent rising power is uncertain still. However, [[Highprince of Trade]] [[Sebarial]] worries over Thanadals continued seizure of Alethi resources on the [[Shattered Plains]]{{book ref|sa3|104}} indicating a growing rift and potential emancipation of Thanadal's princedoms.
