'''Ivory''' is a [[spren]] of an unknown type that formed a [[Nahel bond]] with Princess [[Jasnah Kholin]] of [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa2|3}}
== History ==
When Jasnah first bonds with Ivory, she does not notice him.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} The first signs that something was different is that her shadow began acting oddly. She occasionally casts a shadow in the wrong direction, and sometimes it does not move as quickly as Jasnah does, following her half a second too late. This frightens Jasnah, as it was recorded as a superstitious sign that one had been cursed. The night of [[Gavilar Kholin]]'s assassination, Jasnah yells at the misbehaving shadows, which then takes the form of a figure of blackness pointing a sword at her. Jasnah then falls into [[Shadesmar]], where she manages to create a replica of a portion of the [[Kholinar]] palace and a statue of [[Talenelat]], which drew its sword at the spren. Ivory then bows to her and she returns to the [[Physical Realm]].
By the time Jasnah returns from Shadesmar following the attempt on her life aboard The [[Wind's Pleasure]], she and Ivory's bond has progressed to the point where Ivory can take the form of a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}
== Appearance & Abilities ==
In the Physical Realm, Ivory takes the form of a small man made of some sort of inky-blackness in a fashionable suit, and long coat.{{book ref|sa2|3}} However, when he first met Jasnah, Ivory appeared in the shape of a man comprised of some oil-like liquid and carrying a sword.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} He also appears this way in the Cognitive Realm.
He is uncomfortable with others knowing of his bond with Jasnah, and hides from [[Shallan Davar]] even after she is aware that Jasnah was bonded to him.{{book ref|sa2|3}} Ivory and the others of his kind are still pained by the betrayal of the former Radiants at the [[Day of Recreance]]. Although he does not speak of it, Jasnah believes that entering the [[Physical Realm]] and bonding with her are considered to be acts of betrayal by his people.
=== Surgebinding ===
Ivory grants Jasnah the powers of the [[Elsecallers]], an order of the [[Knights Radiant]]. This gives Jasnah access to the [[Surge]]s of Transformation and Transportation, which allowed her to [[Soulcast]]{{book ref|sa1|70}} and travel instantaneously from place to place, as well as to and from Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}
