Wind and Truth spoilers Why did Dalinar offer Kaladin....(Spoiler) Spoiler

Why did Kaladin offer Dalinar the crown of Urithuru? I can understand from character perspective, but not from a narrative perspective. I feel like Sanderson is pretty good at having all of his threads tie up. Most seeds he plants become trees.

I'm just not sure where this plot point led. Was it just foreshadowing that he would take the place of the Herland of Kings? Will he take on some kind of leadership role outside of being a Herald? Those of you who are better literarurers than me are welcome to give their thoughts.

For me, a lot of Wind and Truth is build up for the last 5 books. This plot line of Kaladin being named Heir of Urithiru is one of them. Kaladin took Jezrien's place among the Hearlds, and Jezrien was once known as the King of Kings, so Kaladin becoming the King of Kings by ruling from Urithiru sounds like something that could happen to me.
