Sebarial
An Alethi highprince whom Jasnah's notes dismiss as outrageously rude. SA:WoR:Ch 24
Known facts
- economic-strategy-not-foolBehind a reputation for laziness and gemheart-shy plateau runs, Sebarial has been quietly building an economy in the Shattered Plains — twelve manufactories, lavis and tallew farms, hog farms, glassworks — pitched at undercutting shipped-in goods rather than chasing battlefield income.SA:WoR:Ch 40
- brings-his-army-and-palona-onto-the-plainsSebarial — who never sends troops on plateau runs — answers Dalinar's call and marches with his army (and his mistress Palona in a carriage) onto the Plains for the central expedition, frankly admitting he scents opportunity.SA:WoR:Ch 76
- herds-roions-army-to-the-round-plateauWhen Roion falls to the Assassin in White and his army wanders in shock, Sebarial — sitting under a canopy with Palona and a plate of dried sellafruit liberated from Dalinar's stores — gets up and herds the leaderless soldiers across the chasms to the round plateau on his own initiative, then reports their crossing to Dalinar with a wine cup raised in greeting.SA:WoR:Ch 86
Events
- SA:WoR:Ch 38 Heckles the conference from the side, chewing melon, until Shallan publicly claims him as her patron in front of every highprince; he nearly chokes on his wine, plays along, and walks her out at the end.
- SA:WoR:Ch 40 Shares his carriage with Shallan back to his warcamp and gives her the tour of his manor.
- SA:WoR:Ch 47 Reclines in his glass-walled solarium eating sweets while Palona is massaged; lends Shallan his coach without complaint.
- SA:WoR:Ch 57 Lounges in the stands beside Shallan and writes Adolin off as too arrogant to see he is beaten.
- SA:WoR:Ch 76 Climbs down from his carriage to declare he has come for the opportunity, with Palona inside in her hat.
- SA:WoR:Ch 80 Eats fruit beside Palona under his umbrella and translates Roion's caution into a backhanded compliment.
- SA:WoR:Ch 81 Stays under his umbrella, agrees to keep out of the way at the command tent, and offers (if asked) to burn a few prayers.
- SA:WoR:Ch 86 Sits with Palona under a canopy in the rain eating liberated sellafruit, raises a wine cup to Dalinar, and admits he got Roion's leaderless army moving across the chasm *because they were making a racket*.
