The Diagram is the name of a covert group that is devoted to understanding and carrying out the instructions found in the Diagram (literature). The Diagram is led by Taravangian and has members in hiding all over Roshar. The group is ruthless, willing to kill directly, or indirectly, as many as necessary to achieve its goals.
History
Taravangian controlled Szeth and used him to murder other kings, thus destabilizing the power structure on Roshar. One such example is Taravangian's use of Szeth to kill the King of Jah Keved, creating a power vacuum and succession war. Every Veden Highprince vied for the throne and was killed in the brutal war. When Taravangian went to Jah Keved posing as a benevolent foreign king, and bringing aid to the war-torn city, as the Diagram instructed him to, he was made King.[1][expand]
