==== The Trial ====
The ampitheater was packed with honorspren, when Adolin arrived for his trial. He noticed Shallan and Pattern in the audience and then reached the Highe Judge, Kelek told him to stand on the podium till the show was done and they could execute him. An honorspren objected saying they would imprison him not execute him. Sekeir opened the trial by stating that since none denied the [[Recreance]] happened, the spren only had to prove it was wise to stay away from humans. Adolin clarified he agreed to be tried for himself and that the spren where acting dishonorably by ignoring the current humans for something in the past. The first witness against the highprince was Amuna who cared for the deadeyes in Lasting Integrity.She argued the humans would turn all spren into new deadeyes, and all their wars showed they lusted for blood and slaughter. She asked what would happen if Dalinar were to kill the Stormfather, adding that no one knows but they feared what might happen. Adolin could only counter that it was the stormfather's own choice to accept the bond.
To Adolin's shock, the second witness was Blended to allow the other spren to weigh in as well. She lived during the Recreance and argued men will always betray their bonds. Moreover, it was unnatural for spren and men to bond as humans were not from Roshar. When she suggested joining the enemy, Adolin countered that odium was evil. In the end, she asked Adolin whether he could promise absolutely that no men would ever kill a spren again. He had to decline, and she closed her argument with saying no bond meant no betrayal.{book ref|sa4|87}}
