However, one of the [[Five Scholars]], [[Shashara]], was spurred by [[Yesteel|Yesteel's]] development of [[ichor -alcohol]] into making a new discovery. She invented a [[Command]] that allowed for the creation of a Lifeless with a single Breath. This allowed rulers to effectively double the size of their armies; along with the fact that the new troops did not eat, take pay, or feel pain and fear. Larger standing armies could be created. This made the Manywar the first conflict on Nalthis to utilize Lifeless in great numbers.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|26}}

New Commands were also being discovered rapidly, a golden age of Awakening took place, due in part to the Five Scholars. These new discoveries helped further learning and knowledge, but they also provided dangerous weapons. The House of Idris, ruling family of Hanald, were particularly interested in Awakening, and gained powerful Awakeners and Lifeless.
