→Chapter 87: Trial by Witness

{{anchor|Chapter 88}}
Adolin arrives at his trial where the judge and the spren audience await. They discuss the terms of the trial, and the honorspren calls his witnesses. The first is this spren who watches over and cares for the deadeyes, and she testifies to the travesty that killed them. The second witness is Blended, the inkspren that has been working with Adolin. She not only says that humans should not be trusted, but that they might even consider bonding with the fused because they are the rightful heirs of the land. But she would rather no bonds happen in order to ensure that no spren will be killed. The third witness is Notum. He appears in uniform, and Adolin realizes that Notum has been told that if he will testify against Adolin, they will end his exile. Notum begins to speak, looking at the paper he brought, but then stops and says, “Honor is not dead so long as he lives in the hearts of men.” The crowd erupts, and Notum continues to bellow this phrase as he is dragged from the room. Adolin goes to speak to Kelek and asks what happened. Kelek tells him that the stakes of this trial are much more than he thought because some spren are considering joining the highspren and the fused, and Adolin could tip the scales in the opposite direction.
After the trial, Shallan climbs a tree and falls to the bottom, acting more injured than she is. Pattern plays along, and they convince the honorspren to take her to where their storm light is kept because it would heal her. They do so, and she drains an entire sphere and replaces it with a dull one. The honorspren are appalled at how she could consume so much stormlight, and they shuffle her from the room.
