“ This Blade would continue after Adolin died. He didn’t own it. He was borrowing it for a time. ”

—Words of Radiance[1]

Mayalaran is a deadeye spren who was bonded to an Edgedancer before the Recreance.[2] She is currently the Shardblade of Adolin Kholin, who nicknames her Maya.[3]

Appearance

Maya's appearance in Shadesmar is that of a woman[4][5][6] with scratched out eyes[4][6], though the appearance of this is similar to a painting with the features scratched out and not simply empty sockets.[5] She also has features that seem to be made of ashen brown cords the thickness of hair,[4] giving the appearance of rough cloth[5] or string[7]. Her face is void of emotion.[7]

In the Physical Realm she appears as a Shardblade. The blade itself is shaped like a larger version of a standard longsword and bears some resemblance to the enormous two handed broadswords traditionally wielded by Horneaters. The cutting edge is smooth and sinuous, like an eel, while the back has ridges of crystal.[8]. When summoned, the mist it forms from is in the shape of vines.[2]

History

The Recreance

Mayalaran was killed by her bonded Edgedancer when they abandoned the oath that bound them, believing the Nahel Bond would bring about the destruction of Roshar the way it had humanity's homeworld.[9]

At a point before the War of Reckoning Adolin dueled a lighteyes named Tinalar. Against everyone's expectations he won the duel and secured Mayalaran as his own. At the time her name was unknown to anyone living, and believing it to be pretentious to give her one that wasn't her's Adolin left her unnamed. [8]

The War of Reckoning (1167-1174)

Adolin often speaks to Mayalaran and imagines that she listens to him. He believes that something that feels like an extension of the soul itself is impossible to wield without feeling as though it too is alive.[8]

Mayalaran was one of the shards placed on the line in Adolin and Dalinar's dueling campaign to disarm the Shardbearers of the Highprinces[10]. The most important duel of these duels being the one against Relis, Elit, Abrobadar and Jakamav[11][12]. She was also present at many battles, including the Battle of the Tower[13][14] and the Battle of Narak[15][16][17][18].

The Final Desolation

Mayalaran and Adolin met for the first time when he crossed over into Shadesmar[4][5] with Shallan, Kaladin, Vivenna, Pattern and Sylphrena from the corrupted Oathgate in Kholinar.[19] Pattern informs them all that Mayalaran is quite dead. Usually she will trail after Adolin but otherwise remain motionless[5][6] and to go elsewhere must be lead by the hand.

When travelling with the Reachers Mayalaran is locked in a small room in the cargo hold by Captain Ico who calls her a deadeye.
