![]() Īfter the coalition's victory in the Battle of Thaylen Field and their efforts throughout the subsequent year, Ruthar accompanied the Alethi army as they marched on Emul. Because he didn't have the sense to avoid engaging in a verbal spar with Jasnah at one of the meetings of monarchs, Dalinar had a leap of intuition that allowed the coalition to meet Odium's forces at Thaylen City instead of at Jah Keved, where they previously thought Odium would attack. Ruthar continued to attend policy and strategy meetings in Urithiru after Sadeas' murder, though he remained hostile to Dalinar and took pleasure in provoking Aladar, who had switched sides to become Dalinar's ally. He did, however, move into Urithiru when Dalinar called for the warcamps to migrate to the tower. ![]() Ruthar refused to join Dalinar on his expedition to Stormseat that culminated in the Battle of Narak, the end of the War of Reckoning, and the discovery of Urithiru. Sadeas, seeking another way to undermine Dalinar after Ruthar's and Aladar's loss of so many Shards, released annotated copies of Dalinar's visions at one of Elhokar's feasts. After Relis' defeat, a shamed Ruthar sent his son back to Alethkar. Relis and his allies lost to Adolin, Renarin, and Kaladin, resulting in Ruthar losing all of his Shards save for his own Blade. Ruthar lost his first set of Plate when Adolin defeated Ruthar's nephew Elit this angered Relis enough that he confronted Adolin, who unwittingly agreed to a full disadvantaged duel. Īs Adolin turned to dueling in order to win Shards from the other highprinces, he focused on taking Shards away from Sadeas, Ruthar, and Aladar. He also tried to hoodwink Shallan into accepting his hospitality, but she in turn manipulated Sebarial into accepting her into his household as Sebarial embarrassed Ruthar in front of the group. Ruthar balked at Elhokar's restrictions on the warcamps and, in a meeting with all the highprinces and the king, took the lead in vocalizing Sadeas' arguments and trying to persuade the neutral highprinces to join them. Though with you involved, I’m sure it would be brief. Sadeas also wanted to team up with Ruthar to use the excursion as an opportunity to scheme with the man, and by the time of Shallan's arrival to the warcamps, Ruthar and Aladar were solidly his allies. Adolin, on Dalinar's suggestion, accompanied them to lend them the power of another Shardbearer as a gesture of friendship, though Ruthar ended up blaming Adolin's and Jakamav's "stunt" for the loss of the gemheart. Īs the Alethi went on plateau runs and fought skirmishes with the Parshendi over chasmfiend gemhearts, Ruthar and Roion teamed up on one particular run. Torol Sadeas used this to inflame the other highprinces against Dalinar and succeeded in enticing Ruthar into joining his plots to undermine Dalinar. He and the others began to resent Dalinar for his easy access to and influence over the king. The War of ReckoningĪfter Gavilar's assassination and the subsequent swearing of the Vengeance Pact, Ruthar and the other highprinces accompanied King Elhokar to the Shattered Plains. ![]() He was already married to Jayla and had his son Relis by 1145, when he fought on Gavilar's side against Kalanor and Gallam, the latter of whom he killed to gain both Shardblade and Shardplate for Relis. Ruthar gained his position as highprince sometime before Gavilar united Alethkar. In his younger years, he had somewhat of a talent for dueling, though not on the same level as Dalinar or Aladar. Ruthar has a Shardblade and is proficient in its use. He has an inflated opinion of his own military sense, as he has never served as a soldier. Ruthar is aggressive, abusive, and willing to contradict those with higher authority openly. Despite his high political and military rank, he dresses very informally. His dark slicked hair and burly arms give him an oily look. Ruthar is brawny and blue-eyed with a short black beard around his mouth.
