'''Eshonai''' is a [[Parshendi]] [[Shardbearer]]{{book ref|twok|68}} who lives in [[Narak]] on the [[Shattered Plains]] of [[Roshar]] during the [[War of Reckoning]]. She is one of the first Parshendi to come in contact with [[Gavilar Kholin]]'s soldiers in the [[Unclaimed Hills]].{{book ref|wor|i|1}}
== History ==
Eshonai was an explorer, and often traveled the wilderness of [[Natanatan]]. She started out exploring alone, creating maps and expanding the Listeners' world, and ended up exciting and leading her people on expeditions as early as her teenage years. Her exploring lead to the Listeners' first contact with humans, encountering an Alethi expedition to the south of the Shattered Plains lead by [[Gavilar Kholin]] in the year {{date/sa|year=1165}} of the [[Vorin]] calendar.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}{{book ref|sa1|45}}
Eshonai was involved with the decision to assassinate Gavilar. Though she was at the time not yet on the Council of Five, the council had given her a vote and listened to her counsel. She voted in favour of killing him, in order to keep the Listeners free of their gods and to affirm the decision made by their ancestors -- the [[Last Legion]] -- centuries ago when they decided to embrace dullform in order to be free of their gods.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}
