“You must control the face rather than let it control you. ”
The Unseen Court is an organization of Lightweavers on Roshar.[1]
Objectives
The Unseen Court is aligned with the coalition of monarchs.[1] Shallan sees their greatest impact as being spies. Jasnah puts much greater value on their ability to soulcast food.[2]
Structure
Shallan is the leader of the Unseen Court and is known as Master Lightweaver. Newly joined individuals are referred to as squires until they bond a spren. Once they bond a spren, they are known as Agent Lightweavers. Cryptics are willing to bond humans quicker than other spren.[1]
There are 20 members of the Unseen Court, with roughly an even split of men and women. Though members who have earned their own Shardblade could break off and develop their own group of squires, they choose to stay together. Shallan believes the court is complete.[1]
The Unseen Court practiced in a chamber deep under Urithiru, as their training involved using Lightweaving to distract their opponents. They practiced using swords, more as a way to improve their disguises, as combat was seen as a last resort. [1]
History
Pursuit of Sons of Honor
Red embedded himself in the Sons of Honor using the illusion of a dark-eyed woman. He is not considered important enough to warrant an audience with Ialai Sadeas.[3] Shallan disguised herself as Chanasha Hasareh in an attempt to get brought into the Sons of Honor, which succeeded.[4][3] Shallan is brought to Ialai Sadeas's bed chamber, who immediately assumed she was an assassin from the Ghostbloods.[5] Shallan used a needle of Blackbane to kill Ialai, though she blocked this from her memory.[5] She believed a second Ghostblood spy is amongst the Unseen Court. Vathah, Ishnah, Stargyle, and Beryl were also on this mission.[1]
Mission to Shadesmar
The coalition of monarchs decided to send a group to Lasting Integrity to recruit Honorspren to their cause.[6] Shallan was asked to recruit 3 Lightweavers to join the mission to soulcast food and water. Shallan selected Ishnah, Vathah, and Stargyle, as they had shown the most interest and were most likely the Ghostblood spy.[1] At the last minute, Stargyle's wife became sick and Beryl was added as a replacement.[2]
