i think its so funny how brandon did not think through sadeas's backstory, like, at all, in terms of timing and stuff, so sadeas is doing everything extremely young
brandon sanderson:
-said that sadeas was exactly fifty in wor
-said stuff in the first two books that implied that the conquest of alethkar happened probably like twenty years later than it actually ends up happening in oathbringer
-ok yeah thats totally fine and normal
-changed his mind, wanted jasnah to be born while alethkar was first getting conquered and wanted dalinar to do the majority of his blackthorn conquest bullshit before he met evi, pushed the timeline back so that the first oathbringer flashback was 34 years ago, when dalinar was 19
-wobs have sadeas three years younger than dalinar
-sadeas is 16 in ob 3
-ob 3 is a year into the conquest
-sadeas was a highprince and a war general at age 15
-radiant says in a throwaway in wind and truth that sadeas and ialai ALSO murdered their way to the throne. which happened at the very latest when sadeas was 15, and also implies ialai was in sadeas's life at that point
-not only were sadeas and ialai high school sweethearts, but they were, like, ninth grade sweethearts. perhaps even middle school sweethearts. and they are the only functional lighteyed marriage of their generation
-conclusion: jesus christ
