→Undermining of Dalinar's Leadership
|
As the [[True Desolation]] brought about by the Everstorm started, Taravangian was the first ruler to join [[Dalinar#Uniting_Roshar|Dalinar's coalition]] in Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|24}} On a day of very high intelligence, he re-evaluated his interpretations of the Diagram regarding Dalinar and decided that replacing him as the leader of the coalition would be their best course of action. In order to do this, they set out to find secrets that would undermine Dalinar's leadership.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
Through espionage and research, they discovered three secrets
* That Roshar had originally been inhabited only by the [[Dawnsingers]], who were not humans but parshmen, and that the first [[Desolation]] was caused by humans who came from another world. This called into question what the coalition was fighting for, as the parshmen clearly saw humans as the invaders.
* That King Elhokar had sworn allegiance to Dalinar as ''highking''.{{book ref|sa3|12}} The Diagram tried to imply that the Alethi had imperial ambitions, although the king merely wanted a way to save face after having to follow his uncle on so many things.
* That Dalinar had visions that involved talking to [[Odium]], visions that he hid from the public.{{book ref|sa3|57}} Again, they tried to twist a fact into something that would cast Dalinar in a different light. This time, they made it seem like he was fraternizing with the enemy.
They released all three secrets to the public at the same time, causing the coalition to break apart.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
