====The Midnight Mother and the Libraries of Urithiru ====
While exploring, Pattern and Shallan stumble across a theatre within the depths of Urithiru. Shallan explained to Pattern the purpose of the room, then, with Stormlight from the recent highstorm to aid her, Lightwove the tale of [[The Girl Who Looked Up]]. Shallan let her illusion fade once the girl made it to the top of the wall, and described the end of the story to Pattern. Distracted thinking about the story, Pattern failed to notice [[Re-Shephir]], who had hidden amongst Shallan's illusionary audience. Shallan took off after the Unmade, summoning Pattern during the chase, however, the creature lost them, and escaped into the towers ventilation system. Shallan later drew out what she had seen, showing it to Pattern. He remembered little of the creature, but knew it had been of Odium.{{book ref|sa3|25}}{{book ref|sa3|27}}▼

The Unmade was encountered again, this time in the Breakaway, after it had killed another, this time mimicking an execution. Pattern and Shallan gave chase, following Re-Shephir through the halls of Urithiru, where it tried to escape, first by hiding within the shadows then squeezing through a hole in the wall. Shallan, realising that there was another space beyond the wall, summoned Pattern as a blade and to cut through the wall to discover a dark passage down into the depths of Urithiru. Before they continued on, Pattern went to seek out Adolin, and bring him, along with additional soldiers, back to the newly discovered passage way. Pattern found Adolin in the training room and explained what they had found, before leading the prince, along with Renarin and a number of men from Bridge Four, to where Shallan waited.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
Within the now empty library rooms, Pattern could sense the memories contained within the hidden gem archive. During a meeting of scholars he mentioned this to Shallan, who was quick to share the information with Jasnah. After the meeting, Pattern returned with Shallan to her rooms, where she found a note from the Ghostbloods. It containing information about Shallan's her eldest brother, [[Helaran]], but also, as Pattern pointed out, lies.{{book ref|sa3|39}}{{book ref|sa3|40}}
Later, at another meeting in the library, Pattern reassured Shallan when she began to question her place amongst the scholars. During a break in the meeting, Renarin approached Shallan and found, to his surprise that he was able to see Pattern, who, unlike his own spren [[Glys]], could not turn invisible. Almost two weeks later, Renarin uncovered the hidden gemstones archive. When Jasnah infused one of the strangely cut gemstones, Pattern noticed that it vibrated in a specific pattern, creating a decipherable code.{{book ref|Sa3|44}}{{book ref|sa3|53}}
