| This Blade would continue after Adolin died. He didn’t own it. He was borrowing it for a time.

 

== Appearance ==

Maya's appearance in [[Shadesmar]] is that of a woman{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}} with scratched out eyes{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}}, though the appearance of this is similar to a painting with the features scratched out and not simply empty sockets.{{book ref|oathbringer|89}} She also has features that seem to be made of ashen brown cords the thickness of hair,{{book ref|oathbringer|87}} giving the appearance of rough cloth{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}, string{{book ref|sa3|101}} or brown vines{{book ref|sa3|117}}. She is described while attacking as having long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}}

 

In the [[Physical Realm]] she appears as a Shardblade. The blade itself is shaped like a larger version of a standard longsword and bears some resemblance to the enormous two handed broadswords traditionally wielded by Horneaters. The cutting edge is smooth and sinuous, like an eel, while the back has ridges of crystal.{{book ref|sa2|14}}. When summoned, the mist it forms from is in the shape of vines.{{17s ref|post|224039|Does this mean that the Radiant that the blade was originally bonded to was an Edgedancer?|date=2 February 2015}}

 

 

Not much is known about Mayalaran's personality. Her face is void of emotion at all times{{book ref|sa3|101}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} and she mostly communicates via screeching.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} She always follows Adolin unless prevented, though this is probably because he bonded her. However she did, of her own volition, protect him from a Fused. During the [[Battle of Thaylen City]], after Adolin talks to her, she tells him her name but no more than that and even appears in his hand in seven heartbeats instead of the usual ten.{{book ref|sa3|120}} This indicates at least some level of deeper connection to Adolin.

 

== History ==

Mayalaran was killed by her bonded Edgedancer when they abandoned the oath that bound them, believing the [[Nahel Bond]] would bring about the destruction of [[Roshar]] the way it had humanity's homeworld.{{book ref|sa3|113}}

 

At a point before the [[War of Reckoning]] Adolin dueled a lighteyes named [[Tinalar]]. Against everyone's expectations he won the duel and secured Mayalaran as his own. At the time her name was unknown to anyone living, and believing it to be pretentious to give her one that wasn't her's Adolin left her unnamed. {{book ref|sa2|14}}

 

Adolin often speaks to Mayalaran and imagines that she listens to him. He believes that something that feels like an extension of the soul itself is impossible to wield without feeling as though it too is alive.{{book ref|sa2|14}}

 

Mayalaran was one of the shards placed on the line in Adolin and Dalinar's dueling campaign to disarm the [[Shardbearer|Shardbearers]] of the [[Highprince|Highprinces]]{{book ref|wor|5}}. The most important duel of these duels being the one against [[Relis]], [[Elit Ruthar|Elit]], [[Abrobadar]] and [[Jakamav]]{{book ref|wor|56}}{{book ref|wor|57}}. She was also present at many battles, including the [[Battle of the Tower]]{{book ref|twok|66}}{{book ref|twok|67}} and the [[Battle of Narak]]{{book ref|wor|81}}{{book ref|wor|82}}{{book ref|wor|83}}{{book ref|wor|84}}.

 

Adolin talks with Mayalaran before he [[Kaladin]], [[Shallan]] and [[Elhokar]] storm the palace at Kholinar. He acknowledges that she is a dead spren and that he is sorry there is nothing he can do to fix it. He thanks her for all the years they've fought together and promises to try and use her only to do good.{{book ref|sa3|83}}

 

 

At the [[Thaylen City]] Oathgate in Shadesmar Mayalaran protects Adolin from one of the [[Fused]] without prompting. She is stabbed through with a sword but doesn't react beyond screeching.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Later, once they make it into Thaylen City, she and Adolin face the [[Thunderclast]]. Adolin believes she was made to fight them, being overly long for dueling, and that she wants to fight the Thunderclast because it reminds her of when she was alive. In response she tells him her name.{{book ref|sa3|120}} During their fight Adolin is able to summon her with only seven heartbeats after he pleads with her to appear before the Thunderclast catches him.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
