Sometime prior to the reunification of [[Alethkar]], the [[Stormfather]] began sending the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] that Honor had recorded to potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]] to warn them of Odium's coming, guide them to refound the Knights Radiant, and encourage them to unify Roshar against the threat of Odium and his armies. [[Gavilar Kholin]] received these visions prior to his death, and he got in contact with [[Thaidakar]] and [[Restares]], somehow getting his hands upon Voidlight and Anti-Voidlight, and forming a plan to bring back the Fused.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} Shortly after hisGavilar’s death in {{rosharan date|1167|10}}, [[Dalinar Kholin]] began to receive these visions as well.{{book ref|sa3|28}}
 
The spren were also aware of Odium's impending return as they saw the [[Everstorm]] beginning to take shape in Shadesmar as early as centuries before the start of the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|73}}{{book ref|sa4|75}} Motivated by this, a few Radiant spren began to return to the [[Physical Realm]] to bond with potential Radiants as early as {{rosharan date|1167}}. The earliest known examples being [[Ivory]] with [[Jasnah Kholin]] and [[Testament]] with [[Shallan Davar]].{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|83}}{{book ref|sa4|93}}
 
== Forging the Coalition ==
Following the Battle of Narak and the human occupation of Urithiru, some time in {{rosharan date|1174|1|2}}, Dalinar KhoilnKholin forged the [[Coalition of monarchs]],{{epigraph ref|sa4|1}} he began to contact monarchs from all across Roshar to try and get them to join the offensive against the Fused armies.{{book ref|sa3|1}} The primary focus was upon nations that contained Oathgates, due to their strategeic importance.{{book ref|sa3|8}} It was also around this point that the war between Emul and Tukar came to a halt as the new, greater threat diverted their focus and brought andan end to their fighting.{{book ref|sa3|96}}
 
The first leader Dalinar and his scribes reached out to was [[Yanagawn]] of Azir, however, they rebuked his advances due to a distrust of him and Alethkar as a whole. They completely broke off communications after he became desperate and begun to speak to them more forcefully. This distrust was ultimately sourced in the genocide perpetrated against the Azish people by Sadees the Sunmaker, and by Dalinar's own history of brutality and conquest.
Following their failure to ally with the Makabaki, they reached out to [[Fen Rnamdi]] of Thaylenah. However, she too distrusted the Alethi, with her flatly refusing to meet with that at Urithiru, or allow them to send troops to [[Thaylen City]] to help repair it after the destruction wrought by the Everstorm.{{book ref|sa3|12}} He tried to convince her several times, but each time was met with rejection.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
 
They also contacted [[Yezier]] and [[Tashikk]], but waswere rejected by them as well; however, [[Taravangian]] accepted his invitation and informed Dalinar that he would be arriving with one of his radiants via the Oathgate in Jah Keved.{{book ref|sa3|12}}
