:''Tanatabach 1173''
 
Shallan sits in her cabin on the Wind’sWind's Pleasure reading a book written by Jasnah about [[Vorinism]] and the [[Recreance]] and it’sit's effect on the documentation of history such as the existence of Shadesmar. While studying Pattern shows up again, this time on the cabin wall, vanishing when she looks directly at it. Shallan notes the similarity between Pattern and the symbol headed creatures she’dshe'd seen previously. She immediately attempts to sketch the pattern, drawing many creation sprencreationspren, though she found it difficult to capture the precise pattern. When finished, the pattern seemed to leave the paper and move to the floor. Jasnah comes to Shallan’sShallan's room just as Shallan leaves to find her. Shallan catches a glimpse of what Jasnah explains to her is her own spren, just as she tells Shallan that the pattern is Shallan's spren, a Cryptic. Jasnah explains about the [[Knights Radiant]] and the Orders, explaining that their Soulcasting is a shared surge, but that their Orders are not the same, judging by their different spren. A lengthy discussion of sprens' nature and Jasnah's opinions of the [[Almighty]] and the [[Herald]] follows.

;Plot summary
:''Tanatakes 1173''
Dalinar is experiencing another vision. He describes how he is running through what he believes to be the [[Purelake]] along with about a dozen armed and armored men, though he notes that they are clad in ancient leather armor. At first he is unsure if they are running away from something or toward something until he notices a Fortress apparently made completely made out of onyx. His group meets up with another one lead by a [[Radiant]] in deep red glowing [[Shardplate|Plate]]. Dalinar thus determines that this vision takes place before the [[Recreance]]. The Radiant informs them that [[Caeb]] thought he saw something and tells them to look around. When one of the men hears Dalinar mumbling to himself, as he describes what is happening, he tells Dalinar to look for a [[spren]] that isn't behaving the way it should. Since spren that where touched by [[Sja-anat]] are different. Dalinar repeats the word quietly hoping that [[Navani]] will record them, when he notices that the female Knight is talking apparently to nobody. As he looks around he sees a face of shadow with red eyes in the water. When he points this out to the others the Knight, after noting that this is Sja-anat's spy sends Kade to the checkpoint and tells the others to keep watching for the carrier. Dalinar chases after the spren while describing it, when it is suddenly joined by a six feet tall spren. As the second one dive into the rock Dalinar stumbles back. He gets pulled back further by one of the man as the ground starts to tremble. Dalinar watches as the spren, having somehow apparently animated the rock, starts to climb out of the rock with its new rockbody. The soldiers, recognizing it as a [[Thunderclast]], start yelling for Hammers.

:
 
Sigzil finally gets the possibility to 'measure' Kaladin's abilities. Down in the chasms — &mdash;while Teft and Drehy are working with twenty others to train them — &mdash;Kaladin, Sigzil, Rock and Lopen are makingdoing experiments. Lopen is has to guardguards the location to avoid unbidden guests. They try to measure how long a rock which Kaladin infused with Stormlight and stuck it to thea chasm wall stays stuck. Rock hints them at spren that pull the stone to the wall. Kaladin sees them, too, when looking close, but Sigzil doesn't.
 
Sigzil takes notes writing them down in glyphs. And he is confused. He says he would need a clock to orderly measure times and that he has no real references to compare. So they start testing other things, things, Kaladin can do in battle with his Stormlight. For example Infusing his spear and making it stuck on the spear of a foe or Infusing the ground causing others that step in to topple. For this experiments Lopen and Rock joined Sigzil as sparring partners. It's shown that Rock indeed knows how to fight though he still refuses to do so aside from this sparring for testing Kaladin's abilities.

{{Epigraph|
'Tis said it was warm in the land far away<br>
When Voidbringers entered our songs.<br>
We brought them home to stay<br>
And then those homes became their own,<br>
It happened gradually.<br>
And years ahead 'twil still be said 'tis how it has to be.<br>

Somkeform for hiding and slipping 'tween men.<br>
A form of power—like humanpower&mdash;like Surges of spren.<br>
Do we dare wear this form again? It spies.<br>
Crafted of gods, this form we fear.<br>
By Unmade touch its curse to bear,<br>
Formed from shadow—andshadow&mdash;and death is near. It lies.<br>

The spren betrayed us, it's often felt.<br>
Our minds are too close to their realm<br>
That gives us our forms, but more is then<br>
Demanded by the smartest spren,<br>
We can't provide what the humans lend,<br>
Though broth are we, their meat is men.<br>

But it is not impossible to blend<br>
Their Surges to ours in the end.<br>
It has been promised and it can come.<br>
Or do we understand the sum?<br>
We question not if they can have us then,<br>
But if we dare to have them again.<br>

Our gods were born splinters of a soul,<br>
Of one who seeks to take control,<br>
Destroys all lands that he beholds, with spite.<br>
They are his spren, his gift, his price.<br>
But the nightforms speak of future life,<br>
A challenged champion. A strife even he must requite.<br>

They also, when they had settled their rulings in nature of each bond's placement, called the name of it the Nahel bond, with regard to it'sits effect upon the souls of those caught in its grip; in this description, each was related to the bonds that drive Roshar itself, ten Surges, named in turn and two for each order; in this light, it can be seen that each order would by necessity share one Surge with each of its neighbors.<br>—From Words of Radiance, chapter 8, page 6}}
