=== Dalinar's coalition of Roshar ===
One of the Diagrams interpretation results in the request to kill Dalinar and Taravangian sends Szeth to kill him. During the [[Battle of Narak]], Szeth goes after him but is beaten by [[Kaladin]]. Shortly after, Szeth discovered he was not [[Truthless]], and forsakes his [[oathstone]], breaking his allegiance with Taravangian.
After this failure, Taravangian decided to move closer to Dalinar. He is the first and only King to answer and unite with Dalinar and moved to [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|12}} When he finds out no other King would be part of the coalition, he recommendedrecommends invasion.{{book ref|sa3|24}} After his surprise on Dalinar's negotiation strategy, he agreed to follow him and eventually moved with him to [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|58}}
Though he seems to work with Dalinar, he is secretly plotting to gain political advantage. He bursts the market by sending supplies via Jah Keved, he has his [[Radiant]] working the [[oathgate]] and he sends merchant ships to Thaylen City with healers.{{book ref|sa3|29}} He shared their knowledge in [[fabrial]]s with [[Navani]],{{book ref|sa3|96}} and let them know of technology that will create half-shards.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
After having another brilliant day, he decides that the best action is to take Dalinar's place on the Coalition and after will push for the its collapse. He believes this will make [[Odium]] meet his agreements and save "what he can, abandon the rest".{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}.
Though he was dismissed or not needed onin the tactictactics meetings where the defences for Jah Keved were being planned, he was secretly plotting to find secrets that would destroy Dalinar. He sends his Radiant's spren [[Spark]] to spy on him and along with his scholars and other Diagram followers is able to pull off a very strong strategy.
During a meeting with all the other kingdomkingdoms's representatives, where they figure out that the strike ofdetermine the enemy would bestrike Thaylen City, he strokestruck by leaking three facts.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
1) [[Elhokar]] had sworn to Dalinar as High King, and though this was meant to be as an [[Alethkar]] political tactic, some other kingdoms felt threatened that Dalinar would ask the same from them.
2) TheReveals Dalinar's vision where Dalinar meets with Odium and threatens onto destroyingdestroy the world. This causes conflict withconcerning the usinguse powers that can't be controlled, in this case, Dalinar's.
3) The translation of the [[dawnchant]] proving that the [[voidbringers]] are really the humans, putting the war's legitimacy in question.
This was enough to destroy most of the coalition and only the [[Fen|Thaylen queen]] stayed with Dalinar.
