The exact definition of when the shadowdays ended seems uncertain and differs between people. The majority of people seem to accept them as ending after the [[Last Desolation]], although it is possible some consider them to extend past that point.{{book ref|sa1|19}} [[Renarin]] states that there was a time after the shadowdays when the [[Knights Radiant]] still existed.{{book ref|sa1|52}} However, [[Dalinar]] comments that the [[Recreance]] is old enough to nearly be par of the shadowdays.{{book ref|sa1|26}}

Based on these comments, it is likely the shadowdays are generally considered to have ended sometime between the Last Desolation and the Recreance.
