|Yo no soy un altospren. Comprendo que la variedad entre los humanos es lo que os confiere fuerza. Vuestra capacidad de cambiar de opinión, de ir en contra de lo que antes pensabais, puede ser una gran ventaja. Pero vuestro vínculo es peligroso, sin Honor. No habrá los suficientes controles sobre vuestro poder. Os arriesgáis a una catástrofe.

Notum and his caravan happened to patrol through [[Nameless]] at the same time as the arrival of [[Unativi]]'s barge with the [[Coalition of monarchs|coalition's]] emissary in {{Rosharan date|1175}}. He spoke with Unativi as [[Adolin]] was returning from town, then confronted Adolin with condescension and displeasure. Adolin surprised Notum by describing the diplomatic goals of their trip, but the spren immediately dismissed any chance of their success and tried to explain the hopelessness of the mission by illustrating a hypothetical situation that compared the Radiants to thieves. He sincerely wished to convey to Adolin that they had no chance with the honorspren so long as the spren felt as they did about the Recreance, but he got riled up so badly that he stalked away towards his caravan. Adolin called after him, mentioning his ship, so Notum explained to him about his punishment. When he asked whether they had at least been able to save Dalinar, Adolin was forced to admit that really it had been the other way around. Notum left, intending to try again to dissuade Adolin from visiting Lasting Integrity if they met again on the road.{{book ref|sa4|30}}

 

 

As Notum and his group traveled on the road towards Lasting Integrity, the diplomatic group followed behind a little ways. The other group noticed that there was a caravan of [[Tukari]] trailing them, so Adolin sent a messenger forward to Notum to ask about them. Despite Adolin's worry, Notum told Adolin that there was nothing wrong with the Tukari using the road. He did, however, ask to be informed if they did anything threatening.{{book ref|sa4|32}} At a certain point, Notum could go no farther west lest he get too close to Lasting Integrity, so he rode over on a magnificent glowing white horse-like [[spren]] to tell Adolin and Shallan that he would instead turn to go south. He tried again to tell them not to go to the capital and told them to give his best to Syl.{{book ref|sa4|34}}

Notum, as an [[honorspren]], tends to form an opinion and then not deviate from it. He is open enough to realize that it is a strength of humans to be able to be convinced of a different truth, but does not claim that ability for himself.{{book ref|sa3|108}} This changes when [[Adolin]] rushes to his rescue and saves him from a group of [[Tukari]].{{book ref|sa4|35}} Notum struggles with the idea that men are still honorable, having dismissed the idea his whole life; however, his own innate sense of honor forces him to admit the fact, especially after the honorspren subsequently bribe him to slander Adolin and his Radiant and [[spren]] companions. This internal struggle culminates in his publicly defending Adolin during his trial at [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa4|87}}

[[Syl]] tends to think less of Notum because of his fervent obedience to the [[Stormfather]] during his days in Lasting Integrity.{{book ref|sa3|110}} He, however, regards her highly because of the Stormfather's regard for her. At first he uses this as his excuse to lock Syl away in his ship after leaving [[Celebrant]] and even contemplates killing [[Kaladin]] so Syl can be free of her [[Nahel bond]] with him. However, he recognizes in his heart that this is not an honorable action.{{book ref|sa3|108}} When he realizes that the [[Fused]] are still on their tail, he is willing to let Syl and the others escape and take the punishment for his actions.{{book ref|sa3|110}}{{book ref|sa4|30}} Notum even finds it within himself to be glad for Syl's freedom despite the heavy price he had paid.{{book ref|sa4|34}} In the end, his regard for both Syl and the Stormfather are likely factors that influence him to change his mind and side with the honorspren bonding new Radiants.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
