| What some are calling a 'simple quelling of rebel factions' could easily spin into another Manywar. Do you want that? Thousands upon thousands dead? Kingdoms falling to never rise again?
=== Awakening Developments ===
The process of [[Awakening]] [[Lifeless]] had already been developed before the Manywar. However, the [[Command]]s that had been known previously required fifty [[Breath]]s to create a single Lifeless.
However, one of the [[Five Scholars]], [[Shashara]], was spurred by [[Yesteel|Yesteel's]] development of [[ichor-alcohol]] into making a new discovery.{{book ref|wb|51}} She invented a [[Command]] that allowed for the creation of a Lifeless with a single Breath.{{book ref|wb|32}} Together these discoveries allowed rulers to effectively double the size of their armies;{{book ref|wb|33}} along with the fact that the new troops did not eat, take pay, or feel pain and fear.{{book ref|wb|32}} Larger standing armies could be created. This made the Manywar the first conflict on Nalthis to utilize Lifeless in great numbers.{{book ref|wb|26}} Powerful Awakeners fought, and
New Commands were also being discovered rapidly, and a golden age of Awakening took place, due in large part to the Five Scholars.{{book ref|wb|32}} These new discoveries helped further learning and knowledge, but they also provided dangerous weapons. The House of Idris, ruling family of Hanald,
=== The Returned's Prophecy ===
At that point, one of the [[Returned]] had a vision of war.{{book ref|wb|32}} This ended up being the catalyst for the war, as it prompted [[Vasher]], then called Strifelover, to
== Early Events ==
=== The Split of Five Scholars ===
As the Manywar began, the Five Scholars each seemed to go their own way.{{book ref|wb|32}} It appears likely that [[Vasher]] and [[Shashara]], as husband and wife, remained on the same side. It is also likely that the brothers, [[Arsteel]] and Yesteel,
=== Creation of Nightblood ===
Working together, Vasher and Shashara successfully managed to develop Nightblood, a [[BioChroma#Type IV|Type IV Biochromatic Entity]].{{book ref|wb|51}} Patterned after [[Shardblade]]s that Vasher had seen on a visit to the planet [[Roshar]], Nightblood was designed to be a similarly destructive weapon.{{wob ref|3586}}{{wob ref|5107}} Through a complex and experimental process they created a sentient sword with a Command to destroy evil. Unfortunately, as a sword, Nightblood had no concept of the difference between good and evil, and so could be used to wreak great destruction.

=== The Battle of Twilight Falls ===
The Battle of Twilight Falls was the final engagement of the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|26}} It was the only battle of the Manywar where Nightblood was used in the battle.{{
=== Death of Shashara ===
Vasher was horrified by the destruction caused by the use of Nightblood.{{

=== Peacegiver's Treasure ===
Vasher also gave up the majority of his Breaths, around fifty thousand or so{{book ref|wb|40}} that he had collected during the course of the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|15}} Vasher endowed them on a priest, likely of the [[Cult of the Returned]], and told him to keep them safe for him, in the event they should ever be needed.{{book ref|wb|58}} This man became the first God King.{{book ref|wb|32}}
=== Shattering of Hanald ===
==== Formation of Idris ====
==== Formation of Hallandren ====
In the wake of the Idrian Royal family's departure, and Vasher's step down from military dictatorship, the Cult of the Returned took control of the new nation, naming it Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|32}} Their religion eventually evolved into the [[Iridescent Tones]]

=== Kalad's Phantoms ===
Over time, the specifics of Kalad's Phantoms were forgotten and they became known as the D'Denir,{{book ref|wb|58}} statues that had been a gift from Peacegiver as a memorial to the thousands killed{{book ref|wb|5}} in the Manywar,{{book ref|wb|28}} as well as a reminder
