It is unknown what path the Change Dawnshard traveled from the Peaks, but it eventually came to be imbued within a [[Akinah Dawnshard mural|mural]] depicting Adonalsium's [[Shattering]] located in an undersea cavern beneath Akinah.{{book ref|dawnshard|18}} It wasn't seen as possible for this Dawnshard to leave the mural, for reasons unknown.{{wob ref|14375}} The Dawnshard was protected by the ancient [[lanceryn]],{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} who were called Guardians of Ancient Sins.{{book ref|dawnshard|16}} They helped to defend the Dawnshard from unspecified shadowy groups who pursed the Dawnshard wishing to use it as a weapon to destroy whole worlds.{{book ref|dawnshard|18}} The lanceryn were able to successfully guard the Dawnshard until the [[scouring of Aimia]] rendered the species nearly extinct.{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} Following the scouring, the [[Sleepless]] took up this task,{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} although it is not clear how it became their responsibility. As the Silver Kingdom had totally collapsed, the Sleepless thought it best if Akinah was thoroughly protected and cut off from the world.{{wob ref|13040}} They allowed the city and its Oathgate to be swallowed up by [[crem]] and constructed elaborate decoys in their place to hide the Oathgate.{{book ref|dawnshard|15}} They may have also arranged for the Soulcasting of defensive spires all around the island,{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} and it is possible that they had something to do with the storm that surrounded the island as well.{{book ref|dawnshard|18}}
 
All these deceptive measures failed to extinguish the interest of humans and other treasure seekers.{{book ref|dawnshard|18}} Eventually, followingduring the [[True Desolation]], the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' came out on an expedition, led by Rysn along with her larkin Chiri-Chiri, descendent of the ancient lanceryn. During an attack from the Sleepless, Rysn and her companion [[Cord]] were led by [[mandras]] into the mouth of the cavern containing the Dawnshard.{{book ref|dawnshard|16}} Rysn was drawn to the mural, entranced by the beauty and the heat she could feel from the mural, as well as odd thoughts that were not her own. After accepting it, the Dawnshard entered Rysn and she became the new Dawnshard, despite the Sleepless's wishes.{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} Rysn negotiated with the Sleepless, who wished to preserve life{{book ref|dawnshard|18}} and felt that Rysn had been led by Chiri-Chiri to the Dawnshard.{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} Ultimately they allowed her to keep it, as it would be safe and inconspicuous inside the mind of a random mortal.{{book ref|dawnshard|19}} Now, the Dawnshard Rysn is constantly watched and guarded by various Sleepless as well as Chiri-Chiri.{{book ref|dawnshard|epilogue}}
