Difference between revisions of "Pattern"

Pattern was one of the first Cryptics to try to form a Nahel bond with a human in the current period, as a "guinea pig" of sorts.{{wob ref|5899}}

 

Pattern bonded with Shallan when she was just a child. At some point, the bond had developed to the point that Shallan could summon Pattern as a [[Shardblade]]. When a [[Skybreaker]] acolyte persuaded Shallan's mother that [[Surgebinder]]s had to be killed{{book ref|sa3|40}}, the eleven-year-old Shallan had to use Pattern to defend herself, killing her own mother and the Skybreaker acolyte in the process.{{book ref|sa2|88}}

 

After the traumatic event, [[Lin Davar|Shallan's father]] took Pattern's Shardblade form from Shallan and stored it inside a strongbox. This was ineffectual, as Pattern vanished from the strongbox the moment it closed, but from that day onward the strongbox appeared to glow in Shallan's eyes. Nobody else could see the glow, but she could see it even after a painting was was placed over the strongbox to hide it.{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|27}}
