|The santhid. It rescued me.

Santhidyn are rarely seen by sailors, and even more rarely by scholars. A naturalist named [[Naladan]] spent her entire career chasing santhidyn and never got a good look at one. Sightings are so infrequent that there is a great deal of disagreement about their nature, and even their existence. Some corpses have washed ashore, but they are generally badly decomposed and not useful for study.{{book ref|sa2|1}}

 

 

When the ''Wind's Pleasure'' later sank off the coast of the [[Frostlands]], Shallan managed to survive; she made landfall near the [[Shallow Crypts]].{{map ref|Frostlands|the Frostlands}} When she woke up, she did not remember what had happened, but she saw a santhid leaving the area. She believed that it was the same santhid she had encountered in Longbrow's Straits, even though she had since traveled a significant distance without seeing it again. She assumed that the santhid had saved her, and speculated about its level of intelligence.{{book ref|sa2|11}} She lost her original drawings during the sinking, but later recreated some of them.{{book ref|sa2|17}}
