== History ==
 
===Graves's Conspiracy===
DanlanAs a member of the Diagram, she was part of [[Graves]]'s plot to kill [[Elhokar]] and replace him with [[Dalinar]],; andshe was present when [[Moash]] brought [[Kaladin]] to meet with himGraves and several co-conspirators. Her personal experience with Elhokar's lax approach to lawmaking led her to believe that he was incompetent. She fervently believed that Dalinar would be a better king, and wanted to force the issue before Elhokar did further damage to the kingdom. Since she conspired with Graves, it can be assumed that she was a member of the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]].{{book ref|sa2|46}}
