▲In 1175, a delegation from Urithiru headed by Adolin and Shallan, set out to visit Lasting Integrity and try to convince the honorspren to rebond humans and join their war efforts against Odium and the Fused.{{book ref|sa4|19}} Setting out from Urithiru, the group travelled on a peakspren ship captained by Unativi, the cousin of _____, then by caravan from Nameless to Lasting Integrity. During this time, Shallan began taking notes for her eventual book on Shadesmar’s natural history.{{book ref|sa4|26}} During the second half of their journey, they were followed by a Tukuri mercenary group that eventually broke away from their path to head south, while the Urithiru delegates continued west. Unfortunately, the Tukari had continued in the same direction of Notum, who had also been travelling along the route, and he had been their target all along. Racing to save him, Adolin and Maya fought off the Tukari, long enough for the other soldiers in their party to arrive and provide backup.
With an injured Notum in tow, the group pressed on quickly to reach Lasting Integrity, wary that the Tukari were still in the area and could circle back around to attack them again. Reaching the honorspren stronghold however, the group was not
While a number of the Urithiru party began the return journey to the tower, several members including [[Godeke]], [[Felt]] and [[Malli]], Shallan’s [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweavers]], and Notum remained camped outside the keep, on the edge of the nearby forest, and remained in contact with the [[Alethi]] highprince via letter.{{book ref|sa4|75}}
Shallan, during her time in Lasting Integrity, set about completing the mission she was given by [[Mraize]] to find [[Restares]]. When Kalak returned to the keep, Shallan realized that the man she sought was a [[Herald]]. After speaking with Mraize, she discovered
Held as the honorspren’s captive, Adolin prepared for his trial with the help of the inkspren emmesary, Blended. After Kalak, the High Judge, returned to the fortress from patrolling, the trial began and lasted for three days. On the first day, three witnesses - Amuna, Blended, and Notum - gave testimony against Adolin. Notum, having clearly been coerced into testifying, broke from his script half way through his statement, to stand with Adolin and promote the bond between humans and spren. The second day of the trial Adolin was free to give his own testimony to the judge and audience, however, this quickly went sour and the day ended in chaos. The third day of trial was held by the honorspren Sekeir, due to Kalak’s absence, and Maya was brought forth as the final witness. Due to her inability to speak, Sekeir used this as an opportunity to promote his own agenda under the guise he was speaking on her behalf. Drawing strength from Adolin, Maya addressed the crowd herself, proclaiming that the deadeyes had willingly chosen to give up their bonds during the Recreance. Shocked, the honorspren left the room and the trial was dismissed. Following the trial, Blended returned to the inkspren to spread the news about the role of spren in the Recreance and Maya’s growing consciousness.{{book ref|sa4|94}}▼

▲Shallan, during her time in Lasting Integrity, set about completing the mission she was given by Mraize to find Restares. When Kalak returned to the keep, Shallan realized that the man she sought was a Herald. After speaking with Mraize, she discovered the Ghostblood member wished for her to “kill” the Herald by capturing his soul in a knife containing Odium’s godmetal. The last day of Adolin’s trial, Shallan went to Kalak’s lodgings with the intent to kill him, having adopted her “new” persona of Formless. Pattern interrupted her on her way there, trying again to introduce Shallan to Testament, whom he had already tried to introduce once before. Shallan sent Pattern away, not wanting to hear what he had to say, before continuing on to Kalak’s house. Once inside, Veil confronted Shallan about Formless and forced her to remember what Shallan had done as a child when she had been bonded to Testament. Duty done, Veil disappeared, being reintegrated into Shallan. Kalak discovered Shallan in his house shortly after her ordeal, and although the Lightweaver acknowledge that she had been sent to kill Kalak, she had instead decided to try and work with him.{{book ref|sa4|93}}

▲Lusintia, Sekeir, and several other honorspren (check) found Shallan and Kalak not long after the Herald confronted Shallan, and accused the Lightweaver of trying to influence her husband’s trial. Despite Kalak’s denial, the honorspren took Shallan into custody, to be held until the trial was completed. The honorspren also detained Kalak, with Sekeir taking his place to oversee the final day of the court proceedings.{{book ref|sa4|93}}{{book ref|sa4|93}}
=== Guess Who’s Back, Back Again ===
At some point prior to 1175, the Ghostbloods began to set up trade routes in Shadesmar, including in the [[Sea of Lost Lights]]. Their intention was to set up a powerful trade empire with [[Stormlight]] and [[Investiture]] being their main commodity. They wished to find [[Urithiru]] before the Radiants so that they could seize control of the
=== Politics ===
[[Worldhoppers]] are common enough in Shadesmar that the true spren are aware of other planets, their inhabitants,{{book ref|sa4|24}} and will trade for their wares.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
==== Interspren Politics ====
Prior to the [[Recreance]], the spren created written treaties between their nations, some of which have survived.{{book ref|sa4|94}}
The different varieties of spren do not often mingle with each other. In mixed spren cities, each spren type will often only congregate with their own brethren unless they require a service rendered.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Very few, if any, other types of spren think positively about [[honorspren]] or enjoy being in their company. This is in part due to their attempts to conquer Shadesmar in the past.{{book ref|sa3|47}}{{book ref|sa3|99}}{{book ref|sa3|102}} In turn, honorspren are not friendly towards most other types of spren; they have a negative political relationship with [[Cryptics]],{{book ref|sa2|3}} dislike the [[highspren]],{{book ref|sa4|87}} and hate the [[inkspren]], whom they may have previously warred with.{{book ref|sa4|20}}{{book ref|sa3|47}} Despite these negative relationships, the honorspren still accept spren emissaries from their adversaries,{{book ref|sa4|78}} though this has not improved relations between the spren nations.{{book ref|sa4|87}} At one point, [[mistpren]] were highly regarded by the honorspren.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
Cryptics have a feared reputation in Shadesmar,{{book ref|sa2|3}} however, rarely venture outside of their city.{{book ref|sa4|26}} They are not well liked by other spren.{{book ref|sa4|26}} [[Cultivationspren]] are not very important politically,{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} however, those who
==== Spren-Human Politics ====
Humans and spren have a strained relationship due to the Recreance, which had a profound effect on spren societies, with many true spren being partially{{book ref|sa3|47}}{{book ref|sa4|87}} or almost completely wiped out.{{book ref|sa4|87}} The spren hold deep resentment for humans and while humans have gained back the trust of some groups through

Nikli blinked in what seemed like a very human show of utter confusion. “I . . . have no idea what any of that means,” he said.
“. . . You don’t?” Cord asked.
“Well as I can be,” Rysn said. “Cord . . . I think they’re going to kill everyone to keep their secret.”
“They don’t seem to know about the ancient treaties,” Cord whispered. “And in truth, those treaties were made with other gods. I had hoped the Gods Who Sleep Not would be similarly bound, but now I am not certain.” She looked down. Dawnshard 18

==== Odium’s Forces ====
Since their arrival in Shadesmar, the [[Voidspren]] have spread their influence across the realm.{{book ref|sa3|108}} [[Shany-im]] are occasionally seen by travelers, flying around Shadesmar,{{book ref|sa4|26}} and will conduct inspections on cities that they have captured.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
There is a level of hostility between the [[honorspren]] and the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} The honorspren appear to be a big contender

==== True Spren Societies ====
[[True spren]] live in a number of cities and other settlements in Shadesmar. Some of these cities are inhabited and ruled by a single type of spren,{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3108}}, however, not all Radiant spren their own kingdom,{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} and some settlements are a conglomeration of different spren types.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa4|29}} [[Cryptics]] are known to rule one of the greater cities in Shadesmar,{{book ref|sa2|3}} and the
The longstanding presence of one type of spren in a given area, can affect the fundamental forces in that section of Shadesmar, and although this may mimic [[Surgebinding]], these environmental changes are caused by another mechanism.{{book ref|sa4|78}} Some spren choose to build their cities in particular parts of Shadesmar for specific reasons, that may be related to these realmatic changes, however, this is rare and the different spren types mostly choose areas where they can assert political control
The lack of water in Shadesmar, leads the spren to keep stores of sand in their cities in the case of fires.{{book ref|sa3|102}} They
Like many of the Physical Realm Rosharan societies, the true spren disapprove of fortune telling and claims of predicting the future. Any who practice this discipline are shunned
There is an spren festivity known as the [[Feast of Light]].{{book ref|sa3|101}}
==== Deadeyes ====
[[Deadeyes]] are spren who have been "killed" though the breaking of the [[Nahel]] bond. They did not exist prior to the [[Recreance]], and most deadeyes can trace their "deaths" back to when they agreed to break their bond with their [[Knights Radiant]]. Deadeyes still maintain the same general appearance they took prior to dying, however, appear raggedy and their eyes are scratched out.{{book ref|sa3|87}}
Although deadeyes physically live in Shadesmar, like with Radiant bonded spren, they can be pulled completely into the Physical Realm in the form of a [[Shardblade]]. Because Shardblades are their physical form, deadeyes are unable to be summoned as a blade in Shadesmar. They will, however, still respond if someone tries to summon them in the Cognitive Realm, stretching in an unnatural way towards the summoner.{{book ref|sa3|89}} This causes them distress and pain.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa4|94}} As [[Shardplate]] is also the physical manifestation of spren in the Physical Realm,{{book ref|sa4|110}} it can also not be physically taken into Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa4|21}}{{book ref|sa4|22}}
Deadeyes are often placid, and
The [[honorspren]] of [[Lasting Integrity]] often find lost deadeyes in the barrens or the shallows of the ocean nearby their keep, and will bring them back to Lasting Integrity to take care of them.{{book ref|sa4|87}} The honorspren take their duty seriously and the deadeyes are treated well in their care. Although, despite their good intentions, the honorspren do have a habit of being dismissive of deadeyes.{{book ref|sa4|36}}{{book ref|sa4|30}}
