'''Ishathon''' is a mythical location spoken of in stories on [[Scadrial]].{{msh ref|3|2}} The myth is [[Scadrial]]-specific.{{wob ref|9624}}
There was said to be a great maze at Ishathon, and in stories a string was used to find the way out.{{msh ref|3|2}}
When the [[Cognitive shadow]] of [[Kelsier]] followed a thread of [[Preservation]]'s essence to meet [[Khriss]] and [[Nazh]] on the island in the [[Cognitive Realm]] that corresponds to [[Lake Luthadel]], he compared following Preservation to being guided by the mythical string from the maze of Ishathon.{{msh ref|3|2}}
== Trivia ==
Although this myth is obviously based on myths on Earth, it developed independently on [[Scadrial]]. Brandon deliberately put it in the novel to demonstrate how often similar stories can spawn in different isolated cultures.{{wob ref|9624}}
