;Plot Summary
Dalinar waits at an Oathgate, thinking about his wife. He can only remember what she looks like and how they came to be betrothed. He remembers that her death led him to excessive drinking and visiting the [[Nightwatcher]], but he doesn't remember what he asked for. The Oathgate opens, and Taravangian arrives with his head scribe, [[Adrotagia]]. He acts rather dense and needs prompting from her. He introduces [[Malata]], a [[Dustbringer]].
Taravangian rides up the elevator and continues to act almost childlike. Adrotagia has to answer for him when Dalinar asks about [[Kharbranth]]. They arrive at the top level where Navani meets them. While the newcomers are given a brief tour, Dalinar and Navani wonder if Taravangian will be of any use in his condition. More memories return to Dalinar, and Navani is puzzled because she's never known of a case in which the curse goes away. Taravangian asks about the other monarchs and is informed that he is the only one who has come so far. He suggests attacking, to the dismay of Dalinar. That is just the suspicion that he wished the monarchs didn't have, but it was to be expected, given his history. He says he will not attack, but it's obvious that Adrotagia doesn't believe him.
