Szeth (cry) finds a wife and helps tell the tale of what happened.

Shallan is trapped in the cognitive realm for now but has a seon and a plan to speak with Adolin.

The brothers rejected the title of king.

Sigzil now holds the dawnshard.

Hoid is on scadrial preparing for something bad there in the ghost blood timeline.

Shallan kills marine through several tricky illusions. She hid inside pattern, then made it seem like she had lifted his anti light dagger causing him to drop the real one. She watches as rlain and renerian shatter the gemstone housing mishram. Now freed she wants to kill renerian before rlain gets in the way and they are ejected from the spiritual realm into shadesmar

Using the fountain of investiture that came from swearing the oath he binds night blood to him and gives the sword to Szeth for it to use. The sowrd now grants lashings to Szeth who provides a mercy to the undead mentors from his youth.

Dalinar has viewed honor through the lense of Tanavast, the vessel but not the power itself. Doing so he understands it more and it takes him. He still debates what to do with gav

Despite sharing the weight of all the darkness sparing 10 thousand years of the herlads, Kaladin stands up. He has broken through this before and although it feels heavier this time it is not a new path. Ishar, stunned, attempts to attack kal as he swears his fifth ideal. I will protect myself so that I may live to protect others. He severs the bonds ishar made to him and his group. The honor bearers are still dark

He claims if they can understand the pain he holds from them that they can then question his intentions.

Where is lift?
Where is wheelchair girl?

Are these both just going to be left for the second arch?


How is mishram going to play into the finale. Seal odium somehow?

It seems like Adolin is set to now step into his father’s place should he fall.

Still need to see the venli conclusion too.

In doing so he becomes the law swearing his 5th ideal. Kal thinks this moment will be enough to provide clarity for ishar but it was not. He knew dalinar had seen this weekness in him last time and planned around it.

Szeth relinquished his bond with his spren. They were not right for each other.

Ishar has claimed to be holding back the pain of the other heralds but feathers this pain to the three men

Szeth tries to fight the 6 honor bearers again hand to hand but it’s not working great. He realizes that they are puppets under the control of ishar and not really his family. His sister and dad where amount them. The silently scream for them to be freed.

Kal tries to help ishar but he is all too familiar with the meddling of Witt. S realizes that the law is imprefect and thus humans must desire what is right

He heads to the roof where it is revealed that Little Gav will be the champion. Navini thought she pulled him out of the SR but it was only a simulacrum made by odium to trick her. Instead he held Gav in there letting him and age his hatred of his grandfather fester. He is not in his mid 20s. Dalinar likely is going to let gav kill him.

Shallon tries to prevent confrontation by telling meriaze he is now free to travel but he is in too deep. She rejects the offers of help from vile and radiant as she is strong enough to handle this on her own.

Renirian and rlain agree to smash the gemstone hold mishram despite the fact that it may be there end.

Dalinar talks to Witt about a contest that never matters the outcome. Reunited with navani

Shallan and co find mishram who was dropped by the former tower bondsmith in his childhood room. Mirage is there as well as formless which strikes shallan as odd. Miraze tells her that his babsk is watching Dali at but that doesn’t make sense. She trikes formless in the eye with her anti light dagger and it is revealed to be a light weaving of formless, really it’s his masked teacher.
