==History==
=== War of Reckoning ({{rosharan date|1167}}-{{rosharan date|1173}}) ===
Roion declined Dalinar's initial offer of an Alethi coalition, and Dalinar realized that he was protective of what little power he did have, and would not risk exposing himself.{{book ref|sa1|24}} However, Roion was later swayed, and was the first highprince to join Dalinar on the expedition that resulted in the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|76}}
