The '''coalition of monarchs'''{{epigraph ref|sa4|1}} is a coalition of several nations on [[Roshar]] dedicated to opposing [[Odium]]'s forces in the [[True Desolation]]. Founded by [[Dalinar Kholin]] after the [[Battle of Narak]], it currently consists of [[Urithiru]], [[Alethkar]], [[Thaylenah]], [[Azir]] and its member states, and [[Herdaz]], though Alethkar and Herdaz are occupied by the [[Fused]]. Prior to [[Taravangian]]'s betrayal, it also includes [[Jah Keved]] and [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa4|19}}{{book ref|sa4|50}}

|I know of no other conference like this in the history of Roshar. Perhaps they were common in the days of the Knights Radiant, but certainly nothing like it has occurred since the Recreance.

==== First Meeting of Monarchs ====
At the first meeting of monarchs in Urithiru, Navani asked each one to carry their own chair to the gathering as a symbol of equality and of bringing wisdom to the meeting. The
As Dalinar had asked Navani to lead the meeting, she attempted to moderate the discussion as it began with Emul asking for help, segued into discussions about tariffs, and fixated on apprehension of the emerging Radiant [[surgebinding|powers]]. Ialai Sadeas made it seem that the Alethi were looking to invade [[Shinovar]], after which the discussion devolved into chaotic arguing. Trying to reclaim order, Navani approached Yanagawn and asked what he thought the strength of his kingdom was. Upon hearing his answer, their laws, she assigned the Azish the task of drafting bylaws

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 at the meeting in the [[Urithiru#The Gallery of Maps|Gallery of Maps]]. [[Aladar]] was leading the meeting, so after Queen Fen's comment earned an apology from Dalinar, the highprince explained their 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}}
==== Thaylen Field ====
==== Alliance with Herdaz ====
== Politics ==
Though most of the nations of Roshar are agreed that they need to fight the forces of [[singer]]s and [[Fused]], many initially resist 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}}
[[Elhokar]] approached Dalinar early on in his efforts to reach out to other nations and swore an oath to him that he would regard Dalinar as his highking. Dalinar reluctantly accepted, knowing it would be best for him to assume the position and cede his role as highprince to [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa3|12}} He had Elhokar formalize the deal before leaving on his mission to [[Kholinar]] but, especially after the failure of their mission there, decided to wait to announce it until he had news of Elhokar and Adolin again.{{book ref|sa3|58}}{{book ref|sa3|104}}
Following the guidance of the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]], Taravangian realized that he must take action when it became clear that Dalinar would recover from his personal struggles inflicted by his returning memories. His [[Diagram (group)|group]] had industriously collected research and facts, turning them into incriminating evidence against Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|107}}
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
