=== Founding (1174) ===

|It's just so big, son. How can I unite all of Roshar when I’ve never even '''visited''' many of these kingdoms?
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}}
 
Taravangian and his retinue were the first to visit Urithiru. They asked after the presence of other monarchs, and Dalinar was forced to admit that he had so far failed to recruit any others. As they spoke, in fact, Tezim sent them a strong message dissuading them from ever thinking of him as an ally. Taravangian assumed that Dalinar meant to conquer the other nations, despite his efforts to explain that he meant to win them over with diplomacy.{{book ref|sa3|24}} With Taravangian's presence in the tower, Dalinar called for a meeting with his original team, the group from Jah Keved, [[Elhokar]], and the Alethi [[highprince]]s to discuss expanding the coalition. They focused on Thaylenah and Azir as the most important allies. Dalinar deduced from what they knew of the enemy's movements that they were indeed trying to capture the Oathgates and predicted that they would attack Azir or Jah Keved next.{{book ref|sa3|27}} After the meeting was interrupted,{{book ref|sa3|27}} the group received Azir's sent a decisive answer: a resolution to seal off and destroy their Oathgate. Teshav contacted Queen Fen again at Dalinar's request, but the queen also made one last refusal to join.{{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}}
 
==== Visit to Thaylen City ====
 
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 merchant and naval 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 in peace. 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}}
 
=== War Efforts ===
OB: Thaylen Field
RoW (1175): evac of Hearthstone + the Mink; Shadesmar; Emul
 
== Politics ==
Most of the nations initially resisted forming a coalition out of distrust of the [[Alethi]] and because of Dalinar's personal [[Dalinar Kholin#The Blackthorn|reputation]].{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|34}}{{book ref|sa3|42}}
 
Drama prior to Thaylen Field re: eila stele; Dalinar's desire to reclaim Alethkar (wanted to recover Kholinar before stepping down as highprince and becoming highking, per OB 58 - left issue hanging so Tarav could exploit it); Taravangian's betrayal
