King [[Taravangian]] of [[Kharbranth]] was one a confidant of King [[Gavilar]] of [[Alethkar]], and was aware of the latter's visions warning about the [[Everstorm]] and the [[True Desolation]]. Wanting to have the capacity to save Roshar from this, Taravangian went to the [[Nightwatcher]] to ask for the necessary compassion and acumen. His boon was to have both great compassion and great acumen, but his curse was to have these attributes change in level every day and to be inversely proportional to each other.{{book ref|sa3|122}} This meant that there are days where Taravangian would be very intelligent but callous, and days where he was compassionate but stupid.
One day, Taravangian woke up at a level of intelligence so high that he was able to deduce and predict a great number of possibilities to save people from the True Desolation. From this day came what is now known as the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]], a book compiling all his writings on that day of his greatest genius.{book ref|sa2|i|14}} Being far less intelligent than he was on that fateful day, Taravangian needed help in deciphering and interpreting his own writings, and started collecting an inner circle of trusted people to share this task, as well as to implement plans based on these interpretations.
This group named themselves the '''Diagram''' after the book.
