<p>Stormlight place/lore/order article (Corvus), book-canon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Alethkar&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the most powerful kingdoms of [[Roshar]] and the homeland of many of the central figures of [[The Stormlight Archive]], including [[Dalinar Kholin]], [[Kaladin]], and [[Shallan Davar]] (by marriage and association). A martial, [[Vorinism|Vorin]] nation ruled by [[House Kholin]] from the capital of [[Kholinar]], Alethkar is renowned across the continent for the prowess of its armies and the dominance of its [[Shardblade|Shardbearers]].<br /> <br /> == Geography ==<br /> Alethkar lies in the eastern portion of the Rosharan supercontinent, exposed to powerful [[The Highstorm|highstorms]]. Its lands are divided among ten princedoms, each governed by a highprince. The kingdom borders [[Jah Keved]] to the south and the [[The Shattered Plains|Shattered Plains]] to the east.<br /> <br /> == Society ==<br /> Alethi society is rigidly stratified between the lighteyed nobility and the darkeyed commoners, a distinction tied to eye color and, in tradition, to the legacy of the [[Knights Radiant]]. The culture prizes martial achievement above almost all else, and warfare is regarded as a noble calling. The [[Vorinism|Vorin]] church and its ardents oversee religious life, and the reading of [[glyph|glyphs]] and women&#039;s script structures literacy along gendered lines.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Alethkar was united from its warring princedoms by King [[Gavilar Kholin]] and his brother [[Dalinar Kholin]]. After Gavilar&#039;s assassination by the [[The Singers|Parshendi]], the Alethi highprinces marched to the [[The Shattered Plains|Shattered Plains]] to prosecute the [[Vengeance Pact|War of Reckoning]]. The kingdom later became a founding member of the coalition against [[Odium]], though it suffered the loss of [[Kholinar]] during the war.<br /> <br /> == Significance ==<br /> As the seat of [[House Kholin]] and the source of the coalition&#039;s military strength, Alethkar stands at the center of the political and martial struggle of the Archive.<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
