Brightness '''Nananav''' is the mistress of [[Rockfall]] in [[Kholinar]] on [[Roshar]]. She is impersonated by [[Shallan Davar]].{{book ref|sa3|72}}
==History==
During the period of [[Aesudan]]'s negligent rule in Kholinar, Shallan was tasked with infiltrating the [[Cult of Moments]].{{book ref|sa3|67}} She and her team (including [[Ishnah]], [[Vathah]], and [[Red (Roshar)|Red]]) hatched a plot to infiltrate the Rockfall mansion to steal some food and "buy" their way into the cult.{{book ref|sa3|72}}
When the [[Everstorm]] hit Kholinar, it had damaged Rockfall's rugs. Nananav was very particular about the way they were to be repaired, claiming to Ishnah (who was posing as a rug merchant) that they were woven by a blind [[Shin]] man. Nananav said that she commissioned the unique rugs and that she would not have them returned even a shade off the original coloring.{{book ref|sa3|72}}
Shallan used [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] to impersonate Nananav's voice and distract her guards. She then used an illusion to physically impersonate Nananav to gain access to her food storage. While wearing the illusion, Shallan felt herself take on aspects of Nananav's personality; she even briefly considered permanently taking her place, but was able to suppress this desire by dropping the illusion. Shallan and her team stole food and wrapped it in rugs to smuggle it out of the mansion, but Nananav noticed the theft before they could get away and sent her guards to stop them. Shallan put an illusion of Nananav's face back on and let it "melt" off, distracting the guards and horrifying the real Nananav. One of the guards managed to hit Shallan in the head with a crossbow bolt, but she recovered. Shallan ended up giving the stolen food to local beggars such as [[Grund]] to attract the attention of the Cult of Moments, rather than try to buy her way in directly.{{book ref|sa3|72}}
