== History ==
As a member of the Diagram, she was part of [[Graves]]'s plot to kill [[Elhokar]] and replace him with [[Dalinar]]; she was present when [[Moash]] brought [[Kaladin]] to meet with Graves 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.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
Danlan was not with Graves or Moash during the final assassination attempt{{book ref|sa2|82}}{{book ref|sa2|83}}{{book ref|sa2|84}}
