'''Celebrant''' is a
== Geography ==
Celebrant is located on the western side of the island counterpart to the Sea of Spears in the Physical Realm, in the Sea of Lost Lights.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Angerspren roam the region outside the city.{{book ref|sa3|101}}
== Landmarks ==
Celebrant is organized in a similar fashion to that of a human city, though not as densely populated, with a market and docks. There are towers in the center of the city used to tell the time by a set of fires that burn in vertical holes. The buildings are each constructed of a variety of materials, like differently colored bricks or different types of stone.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
===Docks===
The docks are longer than the city itself, to accommodate for its status as a trading hub. Ships are made to berth along stone piers, where braces beneath the sea of spheres support the vessels after their [[mandras]] have been taken away. Rows of long warehouses mark the shore along the docks, obscuring a view of the city.{{book ref|sa3|101}} The dock registrar, housed in a blue-painted building, keeps records of ships and their travels and manages inspections. At the adjacent moneychanger, [[Stormlight]] can be traded for notes of exchange.{{book ref|sa3|101}}
===Market===
The market is comprised mostly of open stalls with goods piled on tables. There are stalls that sell clothing, building materials, weapons, food, and art. The prices, based largely on the item's permanence in Shadesmar, differ greatly from those of items in the Physical Realm. Most food is typically sold in cans. One art store offers artwork for sale from places as far off as [[Nalthis]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} Another store has an incredibly expensive silver chain that comes from [[Threnody]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{wob ref|12843}}
== History ==
Celebrant used to be a free city state, though it was taken over by [[voidspren]] during the [[True Desolation]]. However, they didn't have firm control over the city, being present mostly through a few [[Fused]] officials.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
In {{Rosharan date|1174|2}} [[Kaladin]], [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], [[Sylphrena]], [[Pattern]], and [[Azure]] passed through Celebrant after getting stuck in Shadesmar following the [[Siege of Kholinar]]. The group arrived on a ship captained by [[Ico]]. They purchased clothing, weapons, and food in the market. Shallan sought passage on ships heading toward [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] or [[Thaylen City]], but the group was ultimately forced to leave swiftly aboard ''[[Honor's Path]]'', pursued by Fused.
== Culture ==
Celebrant is a melting pot of [[spren]], with many different kinds of true spren living within the city. These include [[cultivationspren]], [[ashspren]], [[Reacher]]s, [[inkspren]], and [[Cryptic]]s. There are also spren with skin that looks like stone with molten light shining from within and a spren made out of smoke. Humans are very rare and tend to draw attention.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Fashion among the spren is eclectic--drawing from human styles across all of Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
== Politics ==
Celebrant was a free city until voidspren took partial control of it in the initial months of the True Desolation. Some city officials are voidspren, while the rest pledge compliance. Two Fused, including [[Kyril]], visit the city on occasion to perform inspections.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Though the spren have generally accepted this, some quietly oppose [[Odium]]'s rule.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
==Trivia==
''[[Oathbringer]]'' chapter 102 is titled "Celebrant."{{book ref|sa3|102}}
