| 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.{{book ref|wb|32}} This arrestedstymied thenations' ability forto largecreate amountsa oflarge Lifeless troops to be used in combatarmy, as it was simply too costly.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
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 ropes were used as siege engines, Awakened to throw boulders.{{book ref|wb|51}}{{wob ref|7375}} The power disparity between those with the new Lifeless Command and those without was another cause of the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|46}}
 
=== Creation of Nightblood ===
:''Main article: [[{{for|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.
 
 
=== Peacegiver's Treasure ===
:''Main article: [[{{for|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 ====
AfterFor reasons unknown to the modern world, the House of Idris and its servants fled T'Telir,.{{book theyref|wb|32}} They movedtraveled to the northern highlands of Hanald.{{book, ref|wb|1}}bringing Theythe establishedreligion aof kingdom[[Austrism]] therewith them, namedand Idris afterestablished the familykindgom of Idris.{{book Theref|wb|1}} Idrians,Though whothey had previously experimented with Awakening, they turned their backs on the artit as a whole.{{bookresult ref|wb|46}} The Idrians broughtof their religion,recent [[Austrism]]experiences, with them. Theyand used itsthe tenets of Austrism to make Awakening sound immoral and evil.{{book ref|wb|46}} This fear of Awakening impactedhad Idriansa greatly,deep theirimpact cultureon wasIdrian inculture, fact shaped by it.and Manymany superstitions grew up around Awakening.{{wob ref|6951}} For example, Idrians always worewear drab colors, such as black, whitegreys, or tans, so Awakeners couldcan not use that color.{{wob ref|6025}} However, this wasis notbased on truemisconception, as an Awakener could use those colors anyway. It wasAs a symbolicresult gesture.of this isolation and distrust, Idrians are, for the most part, were totally ignorant about the wayhow Awakening worked, due to their isolation from itworks.
 
==== 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]], and became the norm within Hallandren's territory. The only notable exception was in Pahn Kahl, which was absorbed into the new nation of Hallandren as a province,{{book ref|wb|54}} where the people retained their own religion and culture.{{wob ref|4498}} The conclusion of the Manywar was also the foundation for Hallandren's power in the region of the [[Bright Sea]] in the modern post-war era.{{book ref|wb|52}}
