Dalinar arrives in Thaylen City and gets a report from Amaram. They have cleared the rubble in front of the walls and shored them up. He is angry that his troops are doing manual labor instead of being involved in the war. Fen's son provides room and refreshments before the meeting. Renarin asks if there are any large gemstones in their reserve in the city, but doesn't say why.
 
Dalinar washes up and talks with the Stormfather. He reveals that Cultivation is still alive and in hiding, and that's why Odium didn't splinter him in the last vision, for fear of exposing himself to her. He mentions another god-spren -- a "third sibling" who is slumbering -- but refuses to say more. He heads to the meeting and runs into Navani and "Vargo" (TarabangianTaravangian) on the way, acting strangely. They go to the meeting.
 
The meeting is going very well with everyone encouraged about the defenses. Renarin starts to look uncomfortable and excuses himself from the room. Dalinar feels something wrong. The Stormfather says a storm is coming. All the spanreeds in the room light up; there are reports of an early everstorm arriving in Shinovar. They decide to break, but the Stormfather says there's more coming. He goes over to Navani and Jasnah, who have received a translation of the [[Eila Stele]] which tells of events before the first Desolation. It reveals that ''humans'' were the Voidbringers, arriving in Roshar and conquering the parshmen. This would eventually cause the Recreance. Taravangian has apparently received the same news and expresses concern that the Radiants' powers are too dangerous. Fen has received word about Elhokar swearing to Dalinar as highking, and Noura has learned that Dalinar is holding back information on his visions that included visits from Odium. The whole room erupts in arguments, and Dalinar realizes that he has been outflanked diplomatically. The coalition is falling apart.
