Difference between revisions of "Shallan Davar"

On the eve of her arrival in [[Urithiru]], Shallan was helping to explore the tower when she happened across a note--addressed to her and marked with the symbol of the [[Ghostbloods]]. She entered the next room to find [[Mraize]], who had discovered her true identity--though he insisted that "Veil" is Shallan's true self. Mraize reiterated both Shallan's debt to the Ghostbloods--her father's [[Davar Soulcaster|broken Soulcaster]]--as well as her admittance into their ranks. Shallan denounced him, noting their apparent murder of [[Jasnah Kholin]], however Mraize claimed he would deliver her brothers to Urithiru, teased secrets relating to [[Helaran]], and promised Shallan that she would only find answers to all of her questions by working with the Ghostbloods. Exhausted after the long day and confrontation with Mraize, Shallan met with Adolin, who led her to a room selected by Pattern as a place for rest. The room instantly reminded Shallan of her father's study, and once she entered Pattern explained that she would have to confront the truth of her past in order to become the Knight Radiant that the world would need. He prompted her to relive the murder of her mother through a Lightweaving; memories buried deep down and long suppressed returned to Shallan's consciousness--the weight of it crushing her, but deepening her bond to Pattern.{{book ref|sa2|88}} It was assumed at this time that Pattern was the original Cryptic Shallan had bonded, and that he had been pushed back into the Cognitive Realm and their bond weakened, when in reality Shallan betrayed her RadianRadiant oaths and killed Testament.
