[9], Pattern and Shallan survived the sinking ship, and Shallan was carried ashore by the Santhid she had seen several days prior. Shallan postulated that Pattern was similar to a spren prince, though Jasnah was not sure as she had not been able to delve far into spren politics. Judas had a position of trust. Did anyone else feel really betrayed after you found out that Pattern was the traitor. Mmmm. But still, you must obtain your abilities. I think if Nalan knew he would have returned so that really does remove them in my mind. Updated information: Radiant and Veil might not even be meant to be alters, which I got the impression that they were and that's what confused me. the evidence against this being preplanned seems bigger. But it does actually line up with other information we have. [4], Pattern wishes he could see a play. Early in OB Pattern is trying to get Shallan to progress through her ideals, and she says she used him to kill her mother. Her mothers shouts, arguing with her father. [12], Their efforts were unsuccessful and it soon became apparent that the caravan was being followed.

Pattern tested his weight on a shield manifested by Shallan, to make sure the objects would not sink underneath the beads. Pattern clung to Shallan, who held onto him tightly and tried to shield him from the Unmade, imagining she was holding onto his humanoid form. He said I was very funny! We never hear anything else about him except he was supposedly her mother's lover. Seeing a pattern rising like an embossment from the page of her sketchpad, Shallan did not initially understand that she was interacting with the Cryptic, thinking instead that she had done something herself or that the pattern had appeared as a side effect of drawing the Cognitive Realm. I support the theory that Shallan's mother was a Herald. After the meeting, Pattern returned with Shallan to her rooms, where she found a note from the Ghostbloods. Veil, Radiant thought. Kvothe the Bloodless, November 25, 2020. Having not understood the connotations of the meeting, he asked if Shallan wanted to speak with the other woman, having assumed Shallan and Iyatil to now be friends. Following Adolin's lead, Pattern and Syl imitated the Lightwoven people, slashing randomly at the space around them. I think her being a ghostblood makes the most sense. And later we get the conversation between Pattern and Shallan where Pattern is 100% convinced that some day Shallan will kill him. Remember too that Jasnah had heard of Shallan's mother and that there is a WoB that Shallan's mother was a person of some importance.

Though he stayed silent during the meeting with the Highprince's, Shallan found herself having to quiet him during her ride to Sebarial's camp, to prevent him being noticed by the Highprince. He may have developed somewhat of a romantic interest in Shallan, but there is little to be gained there for him. Yeah. Her father joined the Ghostbloods but didn't mention anything about Shallan.

Further, that spren are not 'born' as men are, and cannot truly die as men do. was he under external pressure which caused him to crack? A while later he was seen once more by Shallan as she spoke with Jasnah, this time floating on a wave. I mean, this is a cryptic that decided to bond a human before almost any other spren tried. Rest was Mraize being cagey, keeping Shallan off balance, etc. Again he vanished, seen only for a brief moment. Not all members had surgebinding. Despite her efforts, Eshonai drowned.

You think in lies and tell them to yourselves. - WoR Chapter 42 Epigraph. She didn't say she feared her. [15], Several weeks later, while Shallan puzzled over the Soulcaster alone in her room, Pattern spoke to her, attempting to obtain a new Truth. Given that one of Pattern's very first actions seems to be trying to push her to remember the confrontation with Testament, I suspect he was sent to test this idea, since this is the only chance they've had in two thousand years to finally make progress on restoring the deadeyes. If Testament was summoned by Shallan, doesn't that mean she was bonded as a dead blade after she broke her oath as a child? Additionally when she passes the blade to Kaladin in the chasms she tries to speak to Pattern and then remembers that shes given Pattern to Kaladin. And, as was mentioned, why would Shallan have done anything bad enough to be executed? I thought it took 5 days to bond the blade. Here's another question for you: Why would Shallan's Shardblade being in that safe make it glow? Their minds break. Some of the Heralds were there during her imprisonment. Hmmm ok looking through it. Pattern believed that Shallan's reaction was due to her hatred of him and offered to die and have the Cryptics send another in his place if that is what she wanted. "What will that do?" She was a Skybreaker. Though Jasnah is a very logical person, and is considered 'heartless', the opposite is actually true. Kalak felt a sharp stab of horror. She was startled to see him in his cognitive form, and for a moment did not realize that the symbol headed creature was her spren. Start Today. Being in the Cognitive made Pattern anxious and he appealed for Shallan to hurry in her endeavor. They werent designed into the system and thus are more of an accident.

Within the message sent by Tyn's associates, relayed via a communication station in Tashikk, was information about the attack on Jasnah and the Wind's Pleasure. Not reliable. I don't know why she tried to kill her. why did pattern betray shallan . Who, then? I cannot betray this secret, Mraize said. But if they were the culprits, then why didnt her father sell her out? Until WOR Shallan thought pattern was her old blade but so did pattern. Before they reached their destination, Shallan asked Pattern to stay with her, not wanting him to die and leave. "Unfortunately, no," Darkness said. Several days later, found Pattern, again, talking with Shallan while she studied. Shardblade descriptions are pretty key! Spren are creatures of nature.

Jasnah still doesnt believe her, so Shallan calls upon one of the symbol head creatures. My memory is weak. In the distance, Shallan could hear the ships crew being executed and to buy them time asked Pattern for his help in Soulcasting the boat. These are things that he has to learn from humans like Shallan, as he is more naturally inclined to express truths simply as they are. 88 p. 1059. [fn 1] They arrived at the Davar estate and argued with Lin, and Shallan . Shallan later drew out what she had seen, showing it to Pattern. Pattern, despite being unwilling to speak on the topic, named Odium as a third influence on types of spren, though doing so distressed him greatly. That is what those memories would do to me. When Shallan kills Tyn shes bonded to Pattern - so if it was Testament then she should have heard Deadeye screaming like every time a Deadeye has been summoned by a Radiant. The sequence of the events: -Saw the blade being put in the strongbox. and our After the battle, Vathah - distrusting of Shallan and disbelieving of her promises - angrily confronted her. Why would Shallan's Shardblade being in that safe make it glow? But he made 'first personal contact' on the ship where someone tried to kill Jasnah as a job for the Ghostbloods. That they always change, but only in the same way, over and over. If she'd killed Testament earlier, she would know. Without speaking truths you will not be able to grow, Shallan. Jushy saw nothing.

Theyre concepts that have gained a fragment of sentience, perhaps because of human intervention.. This one has been explained but I wasnt overall happy with it - Testamant should have appeared during Oathbringer Shadesmar trip. On their way to All's Alley, Pattern calmed Shallan when she panicked, who briefly wondered if she had killed her brothers and had been lying to herself about their deaths. Theres definitely questions about what blade she used at what time. As long as he did so, he would blend into her clothing, looking like no more than an odd design. Shallan was alarmed by the disembodied voice, but dismissed the sound, reasoning with herself that it had been caused by the maid who had been cleaning in the room next door. Shallan diverted the topic when Pattern tried to have her remember her past, unwilling to think about the time. But, he says, the opportunity is worth the cost . I think Shallan's mom was affiliated with the Skybreakers. He announces to his group that the Diagram has served its purpose and now has to be disbanded. Pattern's mention of Shallan's past oaths caused her to break off their conversation and she returned above to ride with Bluth. There very much is proof that is the case. Shallan saw several Cryptics in Kharbranth, Pattern might have been one of them. I think Shallan killed Testament earlier than she killed her mother. And Shallan is able to talk to Wit through the Seon, and I don't think that is a trick since he shares with Shallan the information about opening the box to get to the Seon safely - Mraize certainly would not have shared this information.

After entering the house and making their way upstairs, Pattern unlocked the door to Amaram's secret room and stood watch while Shallan investigated. You wish to help. Such a deep lie," Pattern whispered. Why would it be surprising that they can lie to their own Radiants? Even though Pattern loves lies, it's noted that he's not very good at telling them himself, and I just don't think that's fake. His bond to Shallan Davar grants him sentience in the Physical Realm and allows her to use the Surges associated with the Order of Lightweavers, Illumination and Transformation .

I don't think that Shadow's absence is necessarily the problem with her being a Skybreaker so much as the fact that Young Shallan is unlikely to have committed sufficient criminal acts to act as a fig-leaf justification for her execution. He says his real name is a series of numbers and agrees to Pattern as being sufficient enough a name.[1].

[21], However, he is unable to hide his presence completely or to disappear completely like other spren, despite that his presence is limited in the Physical Realm. Or maybe something else - there are probably a lot of other possible explanations for those organizations to not get along.
