Navani is a renowned artifabrian. She engineers the creation of fabrials that her team of artisan [[ardent]]s create through fabrial science. She led the research to develop the [[grandbow]]s.{{book ref|sa1|12}} She also had a hand in the construction of a new [[painrial]], and of it, she's particularly proud, though it's only an early model. She thinks it has a lot of potential.{{book ref|sa1|60}} Many of her inventions, such as the [[painrial]], are used in the war against the [[Parshendi]], making her incredibly valuable to the Alethi.
== History ==
=== Unification of Alethkar and aftermath ===
Prior to her marriage to Gavilar Kholin, Navani wavered between choosing Gavilar and his younger brother, Dalinar. Ultimately, she chose the future king.{{book ref|sa1|22}} With him, she had two children, a daughter, Jasnah and a son, Elhokar.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
War against the [[Parshendi]], who claimed responsibility for the assassination, started in retaliation for it. Much of Alethi society moved to the [[Shattered Plains]] to fight them.{{book ref|sa1|Prologue}} Initially, she stayed in Kholinar to aid Elhokar's wife, [[Aesudan Kholin|Aesudan]], in ruling the kingdom.{{book ref|sa1|12}} After some years, she moved to the Shattered Plains realizing that the seat of power had essentially transferred there.{{book ref|sa2|67}}
=== Returning to the Shattered Plains ===
Navani's return to the Plains from Alethkar is three-fold: she brought word that the [[Veden]]s had perfected the [[half-shard]]s, she wishes her son to be protected, and she needs to speak with Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|22}} She also realized that leaving the Plains had been a political mistake because the warcamps became the true center of their kingdom. While in [[Kholinar]], she determined that that Aesudan was sufficiently endowed with the requisite skills needed to hold the city. (The very argument that had originally convinced Navani to return to Kholinar was that the Alethi absence from their homeland was dangerous.){{book ref|sa1|22}}

She had kept the secret and was very reliable, however they eventually decide to publish them. Before doing so, she removed the lines where he mentioned sensitive issues, such as the Almighty’s death. She’d also search for historical references to match his descriptions. Navani liked things neat and quantified. She’d prepared a timeline of all of his visions, trying to piece them into a single narrative.{{book ref|sa2|4}}
