He went back to Kaladin, Shallan, and Renarin, the other Radiants that he knew of. He warned them that the Everstorm was coming, and it would change the [[parshmen]] into those red-eyed Parshendi they knew were [[Voidbringers]]. His task now is try and save as many people as possible for when that happens.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
=== Uniting Roshar (1174 - ) ===
==== Internal Affairs ====
Now bonded with the [[Stormfather]], Dalinar freely revisited the visions to try and learn more about the previous desolations. He saw Odium’s light, a vision of a figure in dark Shardplate, with nine shadows and glowing red eyes. The Stormfather explained that the nine shadows were the [[Unmade]], and the figure was Odium’s champion. What he saw in this vision convinced him of the urgency of forming an alliance with the other leaders of Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|1}}

At the next highstorm Dalinar had the Stormfather bring Emperor [[Yanagawn]] of Azir into the <strike>[[Dalinar'svision visions#A Highway toof the Sun|Highway[[Last to the SunDesolation]]</strike> vision. In the beginning of the vision Dalinar kept his distance from the boy, felling any hostile soldiers who came near, to allow him to experience the vision for himself. He silently watched the young emperor question the soldiers of [[Feverstone Keep]] about what was happening. After they both witnessed Jezrien announce that they had defeated the Voidbringers for good and ended the war, Dalinar approached Yanagawn and revealed himself. At first Yanagawn didn't believe Dalinar that he had brought into Dalinar's vision, and instead believed that as emperor of Azir the Heralds would speak through him. Dalinar ignored his claim and used the battlefield as proof that they needed to work together. As they walked away from the battlefield the emperor told Dalinar what he been taught about [[Sadees]], the Sunmaker. The viziers had told him about how when Sadees had conquered Azir he had massacred the populace. As Dalinar was trying to tell Yanagawn that he was different from his ancestor, to the Stormfather's surprise, [[Lift]] entered the vision and interrupted them. After a brief exchange Yanagawn told Lift that Dalinar was trying to convince him to trust him. Lift told him not to trust Dalinar, took the emperor, and vanished. After they departed the Stormfather was in a state of shock and Dalinar was forced to sit out the remainder of the vision in silence.{{book ref|sa3|42}}
 
Later, when Renarin sat in on a meeting of scribes who, lead by Jasnah and Navani, were attempting to figure out the workings of the city, Dalinar came and joined them to provide a boost of support and self esteem for his son.{{book ref|sa3|44}}

At the next highstorm Dalinar brought Navani, Jasnah, Yanagawn, and a group of his viziers and scribes into the [[Dalinar's visions#A Highway to the Sun|Highway to the Sun]] vision. Jasnah pointed out that the vision seemed to have taken place during the [[False Desolation]]. Dalinar tried to explain to the young emperor what was happening in front of them as the boy was hesitant to go near the action. He told Yanagawn that he had brought him into the vision since if they would not join forces then the least Dalinar could do for them was give him the information he had so their scholars could work through it. Yanagawn told him that he did not have any real power as the viziers were the ones who truly ran the country. Dalinar let Yanagawn hear Honor's message and watched the emperor and his other companions fade away. However, for him the vision did not fade. Instead, [[Odium]] appeared before Dalinar as the Stormfather's presence faded away.{{book ref|sa3|56}}

|Dalinar looked at it, baffled, then up at the old man. In Odium's eyes, he could see that violet-black fire. Deep, deep within. The figure with whom Dalinar spoke was not the god, it was merely a face, a mask.
 
Because if Dalinar had to confront the true force behind those smiling eyes, he would go mad.

Dalinar, thinking strategically, tried to get Odium to divulge his plans. Dalinar asked Odium why he could not just leave them Roshar alone and leave. Odium asked him if he was serious and [[Intent|Intended]] to truly release him from his bonds and set him free. He told Dalinar that if that were to happen he would begin by killing [[Cultivation]] and destroying the remnants of Honor, after which he would significantly alter their realm. Dalinar asked Odium if he would accept a challenge of champions, but Odium declined saying that he did not need to take the risk since he knew that Dalinar would free him. Dalinar told Odium that now that he had seen him he was no longer afraid of him. Odium smiled and let Dalinar glimpse a fraction of what he truly was. After it ended Dalinar found himself lying on the ground, completely overwhelmed, with Odium standing over him. It was then that Dalinar realized that the man he was speaking to was a mere mask of Odium's true infinite being. He knew that if Odium's true power were to be unleashed upon Roshar the entire planet would be destroyed in an instant. Odium sensed something nearby and told Dalinar that they would meet again. After Odium left Lift appeared and told Dalinar that she would convince Gawx to go to Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|57}}
