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.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|32}} This arrested the ability for large amounts of Lifeless troops to be used in combat, it was simply too costly.
However, one of the [[Five Scholars]], [[Shashara]], was spurred by [[Yesteel|Yesteel's]] development of [[ichor-alcohol]] into making a new discovery.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|51}} She invented a [[Command]] that allowed for the creation of a Lifeless with a single Breath.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|32}} Together these discoveries allowed rulers to effectively double the size of their armies;{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|33}} along with the fact that the new troops did not eat, take pay, or feel pain and fear.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|32}} 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}} Powerful Awakeners and siege engines such as ropes Awakened to throw boulders would also be used in combat.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|51}}{{
New Commands were also being discovered rapidly, a golden age of Awakening took place, due in part to the Five Scholars.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|32}} 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.

==== Formation of Idris ====
After the House of Idris and its servants fled T'Telir, they moved to the northern highlands of Hanald.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|1}} They established a kingdom there, named Idris after the family. The Idrians, who had previously experimented with Awakening, turned their backs on the art as a whole.{{ref|b|warbreaker|c|46}} The Idrians brought their religion, [[Austrism]], with them. They used its tenets to make Awakening sound immoral and evil. This fear of Awakening impacted Idrians greatly, their culture was in fact shaped by it. Many superstitions grew up around Awakening.{{
