Dalinar and Navani discussed Taravangian's senility and she assured Dalinar that he could be trusted. They also discussed whether or not Malata could be trusted. Dalinar Related to Navani how his memories of Evi were still returning bit by bit and Navani told him that in all of her research she had never found an instance of the Nightwatcher's curses becoming undone.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
After their tour was complete, Adrotagia asked Dalinar when the other monarchs of Roshar would be arriving to join their coalition. After a pause, Navani admitted that they were the only ones to accept their invitation and agree to come to the tower. Dalinar gave a brief summary of their communications with the other monarchs. The [[Iri]]ali were dismissive, neither [[Marabethia]] nor [[Rira (country)|Rira]] would respond, the [[Reshi]] had no government, the [[Babatharnam]]'s [[Most Ancient]] was coy, the [[Makabaki]] implied that they were waiting for the [[Azish]], and the [[Shinovar|Shin]] only sent a cryptic congratulatory response. Dalinar explained that, for strategic reasons, their primary focus was on cities with Oathgates, especially Azir, [[Thaylenah]], and Iri. He said that the [[Natan]]s were being coy, and the [[Herdazian]]s thought that he was trying to trick them. As he was speaking Navani interrupted him saying that they had gotten word from [[Tezim]], the god-king of the [[Tukar]]i via spanreed earlier that day. Navani read the letter aloud to all present. Rather than agreeing to join the coalition, the letter demanded that they submit themselves to his rule and give him control of Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
Having heard Dalinar explain their situation, Taravangian asked him where they would attack next. He said that he had been told that it was the typical Althi strategy, and that Thaylenah seemed like a good place to start. Dalinar realized that, despite his efforts at diplomacy, this was what everyone thought and expected the Blackthorn would do. He tried to tell them that they were not planning on attacking anyone but the [[Voidbringer]]s and that they would create their coalition through peaceful diplomacy, not battles and death. However, he was able to see that Adrotagia and the other Kharbranthians did not believe him, assuming that he was lying to them. This conversation with Adrotagia prompted Dalinar to reconsider his strategy of peaceful negotiations as well as the oaths he had taken as a Bondsmith.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
Fen said that she was too busy caring for her city which had been hit hard by the Everstorm and didn't have time to be bothered by his attempts at tempting her into a coalition. Dalinar tried to offer her troops and supplies to help her rebuild if they could join together, but her refusal was firm. He tried again saying that it was not the time for her to try to fight on her own, but again she refused. She said that she was not gullible enough to allow Alethi troops into her city. Dalinar thanked her for her time, told her that his offer remained on the table, and left the room to find some fresh air and clear out his frustration.{{book ref|sa3|28}}
After walking through the halls of Urithiru for an hour, [[Lyn]] caught up to him saying that Bridge Four had found something that needed his attention. When he arrived at the balcony where they were waiting for him
=== Oathbringer ===
Since Dalinar began reading ''[[The Way of Kings (in-world)|The Way of Kings]]'', he's been experiencing [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] during every [[highstorm]]. These visions feel real to him.{{book ref|sa1|19}} He experiences them as himself, but other people in the visions see him as someone else, not as an outsider. At the end of every one of them, Dalinar hears the voice of [[Honor]] speaking to him, commanding him to "unite them". As the visions are pre-recorded, Dalinar cannot communicate with Honor.{{book ref|sa1|75}}
While Dalinar is having the visions, his body attempts to act them out in reality, leading to him appearing to have fits and speak gibberish while to his eyes, he's moving around and speaking the native language.{{book ref|sa1|19}} Eventually, the blabbering is revealed to be [[Dawnchant]],
At the [[Battle of Narak]], the [[Stormfather]] informs Dalinar that he would receive no more new visions.{{book ref|sa2|89}} However, after becoming the Stormfather's bonded [[Knight Radiant]], Dalinar can replay the previous ones at will during [[highstorm]]s. He can even bring in other people to share the vision with him, as long as they are inside a highstorm at the time or they are physically touching him.{{book ref|sa3|56}}
