We don't know much about Alethela in the shadow days. We do know that Nohaden, an Alethi king, founded the Knights Radiant.
It also seems clear that there remained a strong link between the Alethi and the Radiants for long afterwards.
The number 10 appears a lot in Vorin culture, but I wonder if there is a link between the fact that the Radiants were divided into 10 orders and Alethela was divided into 10 princedoms.
Did each princedom have a specific order associated with it? Which order was Kholinar associated with and what does this mean?
