Navani's Diary

Over the course of Words of Radiance, we see entries from Navani's diary.

Chapter	Diary Entry	Source
1	"To be perfectly frank, what has happened these last two months is upon my head. The death, destruction, loss, and pain are my burden. I should have seen it coming. And I should have stopped it."	From the personal journal of Navani Kholin, Jeseses 1174
2	"Our first clue was the Parshendi. Even weeks before they abandoned their pursuit of the gemhearts, their pattern of fighting changed. They lingered on the plateaus after battles, as if waiting for something."	From the personal journal of Navani Kholin, Jeseses 1174
3	"Soldiers reported being watched from afar by an unnerving number of Parshendi scouts. Then we noticed a new pattern of their penetrating close to the camps in the night and then quickly retreating. I can only surmise that our enemies were even then preparing their stratagem to end this war."	From the personal journal of Navani Kholin, Jeseses 1174
4	"The next clue came on the walls. I did not ignore this sign, but neither did I grasp its full implications."	From the journal of Navani Kholin, Jeseses 1174
5	"The sign on the wall proposed a greater danger, even, than its deadline. To foresee the future is of the Voidbringers."	From the journal of Navani Kholin, Jeseses 1174
6	"We had never considered that there might be Parshendi spies hiding among our slaves. This is something else I should have seen."	From the journal of Navani Kholin, Jesesan 1174
