When the time came for the first meeting with all of the members of the coalition, Dalinar still feeling haunted and weary from what happened in Azir, asked Navani to lead the meeting in his place.

Dalinar made his way to the [[stormshelter]]s outside the city walls where he inspected the city's troops, a process which seemed to calm him down.
