==Background==
When she returns to the [[Shattered Plains]], she frequently speaks with [[Dalinar Kholin]], and later becomes romantically involved with him.
Navani was the former wife of King Galivar Kholin, who was Dalinar's brother. For many years, it was uncertain which of the two brothers she would marry. She was the mother of Jasnah Kholin, another renowned scholar, as well as King Elhokar. She does not think, however, that Elhokar is a good king. After Galivar's death, she no longer is respected by many members of the Alethi court despite her intelligence. She remained at Alethi for many years after most of the nobility had moved to the Shattered Plains, thinking that she would have more control over the Alethi that way, and fulfill her duty to them. She later realizes that the government has essentially moved to the Shattered Plains, and moves there to become involved with the war and politics.
 
==Relationship with Dalinar==
When she returns to the [[Shattered Plains]], she frequently speaks with [[Dalinar Kholin]], and later becomes romantically involved with him. This is unusual among the Alethi, as she was previously married to Dalinar's brother. Navani also discovers that the language which Dalinar speaks during his [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] is actually the [[Dawnchant]], a formerly lost language, and so proves that his visions are accurate and not the product of insanity.{{book ref|sa1|60}}
 
==Interactions with Shallan==
She later confides in [[Dalinar]] that she believes her son King Elhokar to be "weak" because he allows the highprinces to do whatever they want.
Navani originally disliked Shallan for bringing the news of Jasnah's death, even though it was certainly not her fault. Adolin her nephew is betrothed to Shallen however, and after giving Adolin helpful advice, comes to like Shallan. She helps Shallan in her research on [[Urithiru]], the city of the Knights Radiant.
