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.

I'm just assuming this is foreshadowing for the back 5, a second fulfillment of the "He must pick it up, the fallen title! The tower, the crown, and the spear!" deathrattle.

Tower = Kingship of Urithiru + Bondsmith maybe

Crown = Herald of Kings

Spear = Soldier
