=== Interlude I-6: A Boon and a Curse ===
[[File: Taravangian Chapters - Emotion.svg|115px|center]]
Taravangian is with his armies waiting for Odium to give him the signal to betray Dalinar's armies. He is having a dumb day, and as he wishes that he was smart, he realizes that Smart Taravangian(TM) had failed. He considers that, contrary to what he had thought, the curse wasn't that he wasn't smart on some days, but instead that he could not be both smart and compassionate at the same time. He gets out some of the sheets from the Diagram and wonders why the Diagram cannot see Renarin Kholin.
Odium pulls Taravangian into a vision and tells him that is time to send the orders. Odium continues to talk, telling Taravangian that he, Odium, prefers this honest and compassionate version of Taravangian. As he rambles about his plans, Taravangian realizes that Odium also failed, because he had expected Dalinar to turn. Taravangian manages to maneuver Odium into showing him his plans, Taravangian realizes that Odium, like him, cannot see the future of Renarin and those that are close to him. Taravangian also realizes that Odium is terrified of Szeth and the sword that he carries, and finally, that Odium can be defeated and commits to not give up. Odium ends the vision, and Taravangian sends the message to his troops to betray Dalinar's soldiers, and minutes later, he is arrested.
