The unification of Roshar did not go as they expected. Only Taravangian from Kharbranth answered back with support. Navani was the main political voice talking to each leader. {{book ref|sa3|24}}
When Dalinar found out that he could bring people into his visions, Navani, along with Jasnah were the first ones to go in. They arrived at the Aharietiam. The Last Desolation. In the beginning Navani was mostly wondering of the place, how real it looked and even bullied a radiant to show him his fabrial. Later however, when they started to see more about that day, she started asking about the Parshmen and later the

She lead the research to develop the [[Grandbow]]s.{{book ref|sa1|12}} She also had a hand in the construction of a new [[painrial]], and of it, she's particularly proud, though it's only an early model. She thinks it has a lot of potential.{{book ref|sa1|60}} Many of her inventions, such as the [[painrial]], are used in the war against the [[Parshendi]], making her incredibly valuable to the Alethi.
The more she understands the secrets of technology and the power of [[spren]] locked within the [[Polestone]]s, closer she grows to finding what she seeks: things she can do to protect her family, like creating [[Shardplate]].{{book ref|sa2|35}}
During the Unification of Alethkar, Navani was a good partner to Gavilar. Helping him with the strategy and creating/executing plots that would help their cause. {{book ref|sa1|19}}
Ever since those years, Navani already showed passion for spren and fabrial research. Gavilar was not interested though; she’d spoken with such passion and excitement, and Gavilar had ignored her.{{book ref|sa1|36}}
With Jasnah's loss, Navani considers this to be her ''first'' time mourning. This is telling to Dalinar regarding the difficulties between she and Gavilar before his brother's assassination.{{book ref|sa2|67}}{{book ref|sa1|Prologue}}

During their time at Urithiru, they worked closely both in research and politics. Jasnah would lecture her mother sometimes. Navani did find the research Jasnah did on Renarin, but did not take more out of it.{{book ref|sa3|109}}
To Shallan, Navani looks like a version of Jasnah twenty years older; still pretty, though with a motherly air. Navani doesn't take the news of her daughter's death well; she insisted, till Dalinar spoke, that Jasnah was still alive, but unconscious. She then admits that she's not herself at the moment, and that she strays toward the irrational.{{book ref|sa2|38}}
Before meeting her, through Jasnah, Navani had offered to look into Shallan's
After learning of her daughter's death from Shallan, Navani refuses to see Shallan, or have anything to do with her. She even accused her of dooming her when she burned the ship with her "unconscious".{{book ref|sa2|56}}
