Though she accepts her recent duties as a general for her people, she feels trapped and constrained by the role, and in living on the [[Shattered Plains]]. She feels awkward in the position, and even her uniform when not wearing Shardplate contributes to her emotional discomfort, and the repetitive tasks of military life numb her mind. She blames her uniform for her personal worries. However she never speaks of her discomfort in her role. She enjoys the feeling of strength she gets from wearing Shardplate, and it gives her something reliable in the world.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}

Eshonai's true passion is exploration, and she yearns to be free of her role so she can explore, even contemplating the idea of exploring human civilizations, although she has a preference for exploring the wilderness. She does not indulge in these feelings however, believing them to be meaningless in comparison to the importance of protecting her people. She holds that remembering the fallen is important, but of lesser concern than protecting the living, going so far as to accompany her strike forces even when she has an injured leg from the [[Battle of the Tower]] despite the strain from leaping the chasms, because she is the only Shardbearer among the Listeners.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}

“ It is you. (...) I have found you at last. ”

— Eshonai to Dalinar at the Battle of the Tower.[1]

Eshonai (Alethi pronunciation: [ˈɛ·ʃo·nɑi] EH-sho-nai) was a Parshendi Shardbearer[1] who lived in Narak on the Shattered Plains of Roshar during the War of Reckoning. She was one of the first Parshendi to come in contact with Gavilar Kholin's soldiers in the Unclaimed Hills.[2]

Appearance and Personality

Her skin was a marbled red and black, and she was large of stature, standing seven feet tall in Shardplate. Her Shardplate is silver, and she wore a red cape with it. She spoke Alethi with a thick accent.[1] She wore warform due to the conflict with Alethkar.[2] When not wearing Shardplate, her uniform consisted of a cap and a red cloth that stretched over her warform armor.[3]

As a youth, people were used to Eshonai wandering off in the middle of a task. She had the best spoken Alethi of any of the Listeners[4].

Her preferred form is workform because it is more flexible[4], limber, rugged, and because the form's aversion to violence forces her to think differently to solve problems. She finds it difficult to tolerate Listeners who prefer mateform , and has trouble understanding why anyone would want to remain in that form for longer than necessary to produce offspring. Her confusion on this subject at one time extended to humans, when she was baffled by the fact that humans have only a single form that is easily distracted by sexual urges.[2]

Though she accepts her duties as a general for her people, she feels trapped and constrained by the role, and by living on the Shattered Plains. Even her uniform contributes to her emotional discomfort, and the repetitive tasks of military life numb her mind. She blames her uniform for her personal worries. However she never speaks of her discomfort in her role. She enjoys the feeling of strength she gets from wearing Shardplate, and it gives her something reliable in the world.[2][3]

Eshonai's true passion is exploration, and she yearns to be free of her role as general so she can explore. She even contemplates exploring human civilizations, though she has a preference for exploring the wilderness. However, she believes these feelings aremeaningless in comparison to the importance of protecting her people. She holds that remembering the fallen is important, but of lesser concern than protecting the living. She goes so far as to accompany her strike forces even when she has an injured leg from the Battle of the Tower, because she is the only Shardbearer among the Listeners.[2]

She believes that she is personally responsible for the War of Reckoning because she was the first to make contact with the Alethi. Despite being fully aware of the dire predicament of her people, she does not blame the Alethi for their pursuit of vengeance. While she fights the Alethi out of necessity, she would prefer to negotiate a peace with them.[2][3]



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 1165 of the Vorin calendar.[3][5]

On the day of his assassination, Gavilar speaks to Eshonai privately. She is the first Listener to learn Gavilar wants to bring back the Listeners' old gods. He gives her a dark spren trapped in a gemstone and tells her to give it to the Five. The trapped spren convinces Eshonai that Gavilar truly can bring the old gods back. She tells the Five of Gavilar's plans[4].

Eshonai helps the Five decide to assassinate Gavilar. Though she was at the time not yet on the Council of Five, the council gave her a vote and listened to her counsel due to her role as an interpreter. She voted in favor 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.[3][4]

The War of Reckoning (1167-1173)

Narak

Sometime between the assassination of Gavilar and the Battle of the Tower, Eshonai was placed on the Council of Five and made the general of the Listener armies. She lead their strike forces onto the plains in skirmishes with the Alethi for gemhearts after they had relocated their population to Narak and chosen to begin a war of attrition in hopes of the Alethi growing bored.[2][3]

The Battle of the Tower

During the battle, Eshonai duels Dalinar Kholin as the army is making it's retreat. She defeats him in combat, and recognises him as the Alethi Shardbearer she's been searching for, but is stabbed in the leg by Kaladin Stormblessed, who makes his escape with Dalinar before she has a chance to speak with him. As the army makes its retreat from the Tower, she salutes Dalinar as a gesture of respect. She allows the Alethi to escape the battle without attacking them once they clear the Tower.[1]

The Everstorm

In an attempt to test the newly rediscovered Stormform, she is the first to adopt it, despite reluctance about using it -- and after doing so undergoes a major shift in personality, becoming more warlike and determined to wipe out the Alethi, despite originally wanting peace; it is implied that the form exerts the change over her, and that she is trapped and unable to take control of herself.[3][6][7][8]

Her new, aggressive personality even makes her willing to kill Parshendi who do not obey her, including the soldiers in her own division, those she considered close friends, as well as her own family; Venli and her mother. She goes so far as to have dissidents among the population of Narak rounded up to be killed.[8]

In the Battle of Narak, she lead a Parshendi population of stormforms to battle in an attempt to destroy the Alethi. Her current status is unknown after her defeat at the hands of Adolin Kholin, where she is pushed into a nearby chasm.[9][10]

Her original intent in her search for Dalinar Kholin was to broker a peace between the Listeners and the Alethi.[2]
