| ⚫ | At exactly seven forty-six in the morning every day, Cusicesh rises from the waters of the bay, sending out an illusory wake. This happens without fail, and the locals set their clocks by Cusicesh's daily appearance. It takes the form of an incredibly tall column-shaped jet of water, with four long arms that extend downward from the column and form fingers and thumbs. The arms always form in the same places, and the people in the city have placed large golden pedestals where the "hands" come to rest. It is a translucent sea-blue color, ranging from deep blue in the center to a lighter blue on the surface. It forms a face on a stumplike neck that always looks east toward the [[Origin]]; the face shifts very rapidly into different human faces, both male and female. The faces continue to cycle for ten minutes, and Cusicesh then retreats into the water, leaving another illusory wake.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} |

| − | Cusicesh is one of very few unique spren on Roshar, and it is also one of the largest. It often leaves people who witness it with a feeling of being drained.{{book ref|sa1|i|5}} It is made up of more [[Investiture]] than a typical spren, although it is not on the same "level" as the [[Stormfather]] or the [[Nightwatcher]].{{wob ref|174}} It is not capable of forming a [[Knights Radiant|Radiant]] bond, for reasons unrelated to its level of Investiture.{{wob ref|14475}} |

+ | Cusicesh has been present in the bay for a very long time.{{wob ref|9510}} The people of Kasitor have built a viewing platform to observe Cusicesh. Some Iriali worship it as a god, while others simply consider it part of the city.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} |

| − | Cusicesh's remarkable attributes give it a level of renown in other parts of Roshar.{{book ref|sa2|24}} [[Axies the Collector]], an avid observer of spren, made a trip to Kasitor to see Cusicesh. He was fascinated by the spren and was not able to categorize it with any others that he had encountered in his travels. He took notes on several of its unique qualities.{{book ref|sa1|i|5}} |

| − | *When [[Shallan Davar]] |
+ | *When [[Shallan Davar]] questions [[Pattern]] about the [[Voidbringer]]s, he mentions [[Odium]]. She is not aware of Odium's nature at the time and wonders if it is another unique spren like Cusicesh or the [[Nightwatcher]].{{book ref|sa2|24}} |
| + | *Cusicesh is more important than a typical spren, but it does not have the same level of power as the [[Stormfather]] or the Nightwatcher.{{wob ref|174}} |
||
| − | *In facing east towards the [[Origin]], Cusicesh must look across the continent of Roshar.{{map ref|Roshar}} The fact that observers in Kasitor can see Cusicesh's changing faces implies that at least part of the city is situated to the east of the bay. |
||
| + | *The reason that Cusicesh is called "the Protector" is not known. |
