==== First to Respond ====

With this decided, Dalinar assembled a small team to help him: [[Aladar]] and his daughter [[May Aladar|May]], [[Navani]], [[Kalami]], [[Teshav Khal]], and two of Teshav's senior wards. The first ruler they reached out to was [[Yanagawn]], the emperor of [[Makabak]] and king of [[Azir]]. He and his advisors, on the other end of a [[spanreed]], rebuffed every invitation to visit Urithiru, admitted they were negotiating with the newly awakened [[singer]]s, and claimed that their Oathgate was nonfunctional. They broke off communication abruptly when Dalinar began speaking more forcefully. The [[Thaylen]]s next signaled readiness to communicate via their spanreed. Queen [[Fen]] herself conversed with the group, bluntly asking after Dalinar's true intentions. She also refused to come to Urithiru and even denied Dalinar's offer to send troops to help her rebuild [[Thaylen City]] from the destruction left by the [[Everstorm]]. The group next approached the rulers of [[Yezier]] and [[Tashikk]] but received nothing very encouraging from either of them. However, King [[Taravangian]] sent a message accepting his invitation and saying that he and one of his [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] would arrive at a later date via the Oathgate in [[Jah Keved]].{{book ref|sa3|12}} The queen of [[Iri]] wrote back to Dalinar one day while he was sparring with [[Kadash]], and Navani scribed for him while he fought. The queen reported that the ruling triumvirate had agreed to side with the [[Voidbringers]]. Positing that the Kholins had stolen [[Evi]]'s [[Shardplate]], she categorically refused to listen to Dalinar unless he wanted to return the set of Plate.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Aside from those rulers, Dalinar's team reached out to several others. Neither [[Marabethia]] nor [[Rira]] responded; [[Babatharnam]] was evasive; the other Makabaki states were waiting for Azir to decide; [[Shinovar]] sent congratulations but no real answer; and the [[Reshi Isles]] and other small states didn't really have a leader to contact. The [[Herdaz|Herdazians]] didn't trust Dalinar, and the [[Tukar]]i scribes delayed in bringing Dalinar's message to their god-king, [[Tezim]]. The team spoke with Queen Fen and the Azish multiple other times but made no headway.{{book ref|sa3|24}} [[New Natanan]] was evasive at first as well but then began to warm up.{{book ref|sa3|24}}{{book ref|sa3|28}}

 

 

==== Visions ====

Dalinar discovered that the Stormfather could bring others into Honor's visions to meet with him,{{book ref|sa3|28}} resulting in a series of face-to-face interviews with some of the reluctant monarchs. He brought Queen Fen into the [[Dalinar's visions#Starfalls|Starfalls]] vision, and after the action was over, the two of them spoke. Fen explained her mistrust of Dalinar, drawing a parallel to [[Sadees]]. This provoked an outburst from Dalinar; his passion began to convince her in a way that his previous diplomatic efforts had not, and he saw that he was starting to make progress with her.{{book ref|sa3|34}} Indeed, she asked to visit a [[Dalinar's visions#Broken People|vision]] by herself at the next highstorm.{{book ref|sa3|50}}

 

Dalinar met with Yanagawn next in the [[Dalinar's visions#A Highway to the Sun|vision]] of the [[Day of Recreance]]. He, too, was fearful of Dalinar largely because of Sadees' actions in the past. Dalinar countered his arguments, but the conversation ended prematurely with [[Lift]]'s inexplicable arrival.{{book ref|sa3|42}} He brought Yanagawn there again during another highstorm, and they had a frank conversation about the [[vizier]]s' opinion of Dalinar and Yanagawn feeling like just a puppet of theirs.{{book ref|sa3|56}} Yanagawn left, but then [[Odium]] appeared in the vision to speak with Dalinar. Having spied on that conversation, Lift emerged at the end and told him that she would convince Yanagawn to visit Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|57}}

 

 

Queen Fen agreed to let Dalinar, Taravangian, and a small company from Urithiru activate the Oathgate in Thaylen City and come visit.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Realizing that though he was making progress with Fen herself, he also had to win over the other influential factions of the city, Dalinar organized a duel with her [[Kdralk|son]]. He allowed the young man to stab him, healing the wound with [[Stormlight]] and proclaiming to the watching crowd that he really did come with diplomatic intentions. However, it was his labor to rebuild the [[Thaylen City#Temples|Temple]] of [[Talenelat]] and the healing done by the hastily summoned [[Renarin]] that finally convinced Fen to join the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|59}}

Fen also gave Dalinar some advice on how to approach the Azish. At her suggestion, he went to [[Azimir]] alone, armed only with a set of writings by herself, Navani, and [[Jasnah]] that each presented a different argument.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Yanagawn and the viziers were highly impressed by the essays; not only did they agree to visit Urithiru, but they agreed to bring as many representatives of their member states as they could.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
