Dalinar himself went to [[Vedenar]] to take stock of the situation before sending troops to the area but suffered a personal crisis during the visit that drove him to seclude himself another few days.{{book ref|sa3|100}} During this time, the coalition held several more meetings.{{book ref|sa3|107}} On the day the coalition gathered to discuss tactics regarding sending troops to Jah Keved, the other members told Taravangian he was not needed at the meeting. Having gone to sit and think in Dalinar and Navani's sitting room, he met up with Dalinar. Together, they arrived late to the meeting in the [[Urithiru#The Gallery of Maps|Gallery of Maps]]. [[Aladar]], who was leading the meeting, so after Queen Fen's comment earned an apology from Dalinar, the highprince explained the plans they had made so far. Dalinar called for a break when Navani showed up, shortly followed by Jasnah. When Highprince [[Ruthar]] started picking a fight with Jasnah, Dalinar's thoughts came together and he realized that they were making a mistake to think Odium's forces would move against Jah Keved. He persuaded the others that the true target was Thaylen City. Fen's son pointed out that they needed their own fleet of ships, not just a force of infantry occupying the city, so they hatched a plan to man extra Veden ships with Tashikki sailors augmented by the best Alethi troops.{{book ref|sa3|107}}
 
The next meeting convened in the temple of Talenelat in Thaylen City. The group spoke of the status of their fleet of ships and of their other defenses in the city. About an hour into the meeting, a messenger delivered papers to Jasnah and everyone's spanreeds started blinking as they all received news of an unexpected, more violent than usual, [[Everstorm]]. Dalinar called for a break, but soon each group spoke up about some troubling news they had received. There were three pieces of information that had been carefully leaked to the nations by Taravangian and the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]], each incriminating Dalinar or his mission in forming the coalition in a way that specifically attacked each group's latent suspicions:
During the following year, the coalition authorized an [[expedition to Akinah]] in order to investigate the myths surrounding the hidden island as well as to see if they could unlock its Oathgate. During the course of the expedition, [[Rysn Ftori]] and [[Cord]] stumbled across a cache of [[Soulcaster]]s, of which the Thaylens received five and the Alethi three.{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}}{{book ref|sa4|9}} The [[Windrunner]]s took to taking shifts watching over the coalition's fleets from the sky, as the coalition held control of the southern seas of Roshar.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}{{book ref|sa4|17}} The coalition officially recognized Dalinar as king of Urithiru in return for his renouncement of any ambition to rule over any other monarchs,{{book ref|sa4|10}} and they organized more meetings to plan strategy and to share information--such as the meeting in which Navani gave a lecture on [[fabrial]] mechanics.{{epigraph ref|sa4|19}} [[Noura]] began leading the meetings in the place of the Kholins, as she had a calm way of doing so that everyone respected.{{book ref|sa4|19}} They agreed to allow Taravangian to continue participating despite his confession of his role in the assassinations of previous Azish leaders because they thought the threat that Odium presented took precedent over his crimes.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
 
Every report that reached the coalition during that time indicated that [[Herdaz]], which was facing off against Odium's armies as they made inroads into the country, was about to fall. Because it seemed like a lost cause, the coalition declined to reach out and help them; however, the Herdazian resistance fought a much more protracted war than expected and inflicted a large casualty count before they finally had to give in. The coalition received word that the general, the [[Dieno enne Calah|Mink]], was fleeing to Alethkar with other Herdazian refugees, so they sent [[Kaladin]] to intercept him in [[Hearthstone]] and extend an invitation to join the coalition.{{book ref|sa4|2}} At the same time, they tested out their new invention, the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'', by flying it to Hearthstone and loading it with the entire population of townsfolk and refugees to bring back to Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|3}}
 
Dalinar approached the Mink privately before inviting him to a meeting of monarchs, showing him the three dimensional map of Roshar and asking his opinion of where they should make an offensive. The Mink positively warned against trying to reclaim Alethkar, instead pointing them towards [[Emul]] so the coalition could win a decisive victory while reestablishing themselves in a member's lands. Jasnah agreed with his assessment, adding that they needed a stable foothold in [[Makabak]] for their inevitable dealings with [[Shinovar]].{{book ref|sa4|17}}
 
==== Betrayal ====
The diplomatic group left for Lasting Integrity via an Oathgate transfer to [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa4|21}} A fewSome days later,<!-- cite - see Jof's spreadsheet? or leave off timing --> the coalition's army transferred to [[Azimir]] to begin their march to Emul.{{book ref|sa4|27}} One day during their advance, at the end of an [[Everstorm]], Odium appeared to Taravangian and instructed him to send the orders for his army to attack the coalition. Having spent the last year quietly promoting certain men and assuring them that Jah Keved would be safe from the war, his army instantly responded. Within fifteen minutes, Alethi soldiers arrived to arrest Taravangian.{{book ref|sa4|i|6}}

=== TaravangianThe Diagram's PropogandaPropaganda War and Betrayal === <!-- subsection(s)? -->
{{sidequote
|Dalinar would be the first to tell you that when your opponent is getting back up, you must act quickly to crush his knees. Then he will bow, and present to you his skull.
[[Elhokar]] approaches Dalinar early on in his efforts to reach out to other nations and swears an oath to him that he will regard Dalinar as his highking. Dalinar reluctantly accepts, knowing it would be best for him to assume the position and cede his role as highprince to [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa3|12}} He has Elhokar formalize the deal before leaving on his mission to [[Kholinar]] but, especially after the failure of their mission there, decides to wait to announce it until he has news of Elhokar and Adolin again.{{book ref|sa3|58}}{{book ref|sa3|104}} This delay gives Taravangian the opportunity to expose his knowledge of the incident as leverage against Dalinar. Though Dalinar insists this is an "internal Alethi matter," the news rings alarm bells for Queen Fen, whose primary fear in joining the coalition has been that it is a cover for the Alethi's plot to create a worldwide empire.{{book ref|sa3|34}}{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
An acute worry of the Alethi, and also of the [[spren]] and the other nations, is that whatever caused the [[Recreance]] could happen again.{{book ref|sa3|38}}{{book ref|sa3|56}} Though the Alethi for the most part trust Dalinar and his motives, it is a major blow to them to receive the translation of the [[Eila Stele]] and discover that the original [[Voidbringers]] were, in fact, human. This knowledge casts a shadow over the moral right they thought they had to fight a war against Odium in the first place. It kindles new fears, reiterated by Taravangian, that they could destroy Roshar with [[Surgebinding]] as they have already destroyed [[Ashyn]].{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|113}} The Alethi and the group from Jah Keved receive this same piece of news, a ploy designed to disguise for a while the fact that Taravangian is behind the information leaks.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
The Azish also fear a repeat of the Recreance, but they have a profound apprehension regarding Dalinar personally as both a descendant of [[Sadees]] and a Surgebinder, fearing that he will destroy their empire and their culture.{{book ref|sa3|56}} They believe that the ancient Radiants abandoned Surgebinding for a reason and fear the reemergence of those powers.{{book ref|sa3|96}} At the meeting in [[Thaylen City]], [[Noura]] is disturbed to receive reports of two visions{{book ref|sa3|57}}{{book ref|sa3|109}} that Dalinar had and seemingly kept quiet in which he met with [[Odium]] and was told that he, Dalinar, would destroy the world. This confirms to her and the other [[vizier]]s that Dalinar cannot be trusted, as he is speaking with the enemy behind their backs.{{book ref|sa3|111}}▼
 
=== Taravangian's Betrayal ===

After the Battle of Thaylen Field, Taravangian's confession of his role in [[Szeth]]'s assassinations of Azish leaders strains relationships, but the nations of the coalition agree to continue to cooperate because of the immediate, dire threat which Odium represents.{{book ref|sa4|16}} In a private moment between the two of them, Navani accuses Taravangian to his face of releasing the material that led to the temporary dissolution of the coalition, and he doesn't deny it. He reveals to her in a moment of candor his fervent belief that everything he does is for the best in order to help humanity survive. Navani grudgingly agrees with his assessment that the previous Veden king, [[Hanavanar]], would not have agreed to an alliance, though she cannot condone his actions in taking over the throne. Although she does not agree with many of the things Taravangian has done, she and the rest of the coalition feel their best option is to continue to work with him; their fear is that he might knowingly be working with Odium, but they cannot confirm that suspicion.{{book ref|sa4|19}} Dalinar privately suspects [[Malata]] of granting the enemy access to Urithiru during the Battle of Thaylen Field and so, further suspicious of Taravangian, ensures that the Alethi troops stationed on the Alethkar-Jah Keved border are placed such that they are not left exposed to Taravangian's armies.{{book ref|sa4|17}}
 
Before leaving for Emul, Taravangian officially disbands the Diagram. Knowing that he is going to have to order his troops to attack the coalition, he worries for the safety of any members who remain close to him. He also claims that the purpose of the Diagram has been fulfilled, since he has struck a [[Diagram (group)#Alliance with Odium|bargain]] with Odium that will ensure the survival of the citizens of [[Kharbranth]]. Taravangian's betrayal of the coalition is the price he must pay to hold up his end of the bargain.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}}

He also reveals to her his solid belief that he is doing the best thing to help humanity survive. The one thing in question is whether or not he is knowingly working with Odium -->
