== Geography ==
Celebrant is located on the western side of the island counterpart to the Sea of Spears in the PhysiscalPhysical Realm, in the Sea of Lost Lights.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
 
== Inhabitants ==
Celebrant appears to be a melting pot of [[spren]] with many different kinds of intelligenttrue 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.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
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.{{book ref|sa3|102}} The buildings are each constructed of a variety of materials like differently colored bricks or different types of stone.
 
The docks are longer than the city itself, to accomodateaccommodate for it's status as a trading hub. Next to them are a series of long warehouses{{book ref|sa3|101}}, a registrar with information about the docked boats and a moneychanger, where [[Stormlight]] can be traded for notes of exchange.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
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.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
== History ==
Celebrant used to be a free city state, though it was taken over by the [[Voidsprenvoidspren]] 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}}, after the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Sylphrena, Pattern, and Azure got stuck onin Shadesmar after using thean [[Oathgate]] corrupted by [[OathgateSja-Anat]]. The group took passage on a ship captained by [[Ico]] that was going to Celebrant. While on the boat Shallan putsput an illusion of an Alethi woman on Syl so that she wouldn't be recognized as an [[honorspren]].{{book ref|sa3|99}} After arriving, they separated into two groups,: Shallan, Pattern, and Azure went to look for a ship willing to take them to Cultivation's Perpendicularity or Thaylen City while Kaladin, Adolin, and Syl went to the market to look for supplies. They agreed to meet back near the dock registrar after an hour.
 
In the market, the three bought rations, changes of clothing and two harpoons. Kaladin felt drawn to a painting in an art stall which he interpreted as depicting a kneeling figure with nine shadows, representing the [[Unmade]] and [[Odium]]'s champion. The owner of the stall, a Reacher woman, told him that it was a piece from the [[Court of Gods]], painted by [[Nenefra]] and intended for a divinity, and that it was rare that a painting from the Court reached the market before being burned. She also mentions that Nenefra's masterworks appear different to each person that sees them.
 
Shallan, Pattern, and Azure quickly learn that most spren had stopped travellingtraveling to Cultivation's Perpendicularity and Thaylen City because of the presence of Voidspren warships demanding tributes in those areas. Shallan thought they could also go to the [[Shattered Plains]] and found a willing ship heading east towards [[Freelight]], however they could not negotiate because there would be an inspection soon and were told to return later. While returning to the meeting place, Azure saw a Fused talking to Ico on his ship, back at the registrar they learned that Celebrant was being ruled by Voidspren and shortly after, [[Kyril]], one of the Fused officers, set fire to Ico's ship for harboring the humans.
 
Meanwhile, in the market, Syl was recognized by passing spren and revealed to Kaladin that there was a bounty on returning her to [[Lasting Integrity]] for having run away to the Physical Realm to bond with a human, and even though the [[Stormfather]] had forgiven her, most spren didn't know or care about that.
Syl, telling them she had an idea, ran towards the honorspren ship, revealing her disguise and screaming for attention. One of the sailors, seeing this, realized who she was and dropped the gangway, allowing the group to climb onto the deck, where Syl was immediately bound and imprisoned. As the ship pulled away, Kyril reached the docks and saw them getting on it, however, he did not chase after them and they were able to escape the city, which Kaladin took to mean that honorspren gave the Fused pause.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
