Testament is a deadeye Cryptic on Roshar, bonded to Shallan.[1]
Appearance and Personality
Unlike living Cryptics, her head pattern is broken, with the same scraping over the eyes seen on other deadeye spren in the center of it. Instead of turning in a smooth pattern, the lines are twisted in jagged patterns, like broken fingers,[2] giving the head a wilted look.[3] Her stiff robes look dustier than Pattern's.[4]
According to Shallan, Testament was a kindly and friendly spren.[5]
Abilities and Attributes
Being a cryptic, Testament is able to form nahel bonds with humans. This gives the bonded human access to the Surges of the Order of Lightweavers, namely Illumination and Transformation.
History
Not much is known about Testament's past. For centuries, she was a friend and a business partner to an inkspren shopkeeper in Shadesmar.[2]
In 1165, Testament left Shadesmar to form a Nahel Bond. She later bonded to Shallan.[2]
In a duration of about two years Shallan and Testament's bond progressed enough for her to summon Testament as a Shardblade, which she later used to kill her mother. Shallan also broke her bond to Testament the same day.[6]
Later, her inkspren friend found her dead, sitting on a far off island in the east. She incessantly travelled to Nameless where the inkspren set up a shop.[2]
In 1175, Adolin found her in Nameless through Maya. She was later brought to Lasting Integrity by the honorspren. While in Lasting Integrity, Shallan talked to her at least once.[1]
