Even this information (uniting the armies by becoming high prince of war) is not known to many, only elokhar, dalinar and anyone spying on their confrontation which happened at the tail end of the book knows. (If you don't consider dalinar's attempts to work together with other high princes on plain assaults as uniting armies) Taravangian seems to be on good side (trying to stop/prepare for desolations) but had his own plans (which doesn't include united alethi or atleast united alethi under dalinar) or may be his own inner man on shattered plains (sadeas? - through whom he intended to deal with dalinar) I was just trying to figure out, if there is a spy on the inner circle of dalinar/elokhar or just got his info from usual spy network.

The above line clearly states that he had latest information from shattered plains before their meeting.

Please excuse if there is any lack of understanding, post after a reread of TWOK and may be loosely related to this thread. Everyone was discussing/predicting about szeth & kaladin fight, but I haven't seen the posts about why had taravangian send szeth at the time he did to kill dalinar? Taravangian had szeth, orders to kill some important figures (high princes, king) but not dalinar on his first assignment, but orders to kill him on his second assignment (just after the failed attempt from sadeas to abandon dalinar on tower, just after navani confirmed his visions to be true). What has changed his mind? What did he find about dalinar plans/visions? Who is providing him the information? (if not for the POV from Navani, i would have suspected her because of here privy to the dalinar's visions)
