== 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}}
After the [[Battle of Narak]] and the following settling of the tower city of [[Urithiru]], most of the Alethi [[highprince]]s moved across the Shattered Plains with their war camps in tow. When they vacated the craters they had occupied as well as the surrounding land and resources, they left them for Highprinces Thanadal and [[Vamah]], who had decided not to make the move.{{book ref|sa3|2}} Thanadal took advantage of the opportunity to build himself a virtual kingdom of his own in the area.{{book ref|sa3|104}} The political implications of Thanadal's refusal to join the others in Urithiru with regards to its subsequent rising power is uncertain. However, [[Highprince of Commerce]] [[Turinad Sebarial]] worried over Thanadal's continued seizure of Alethi resources on the [[Shattered Plains]],{{book ref|sa3|104}} and [[Aladar]] expressed worry to Dalinar that without Thanadal's forces joining those at Urithiru, their armies would be too weak to establish Urithiru as the bastion of order he had envisioned.{{book ref|sa3|2}}
