After the [[Manywar]] began, the [[Five Scholars]] split and joined different sides, Shashara joined Talaxin on the side of [[Hanald]] and eventually she and Talaxin convinced her brother to join them as well. During this war she and Talaxin provided [[Hanald]] with information and techniques regarding awakening. She might have also been a general, as she’s known to have fought at least once.
 
Shashara participated in the [[Battle of Twilight Falls]], here she drew Nightblood, killing many soldiers.{{wob ref|6954}}{{book ref|wb|26}} While the exact details of the [[Battle of Twilight Falls]] have yet to be revealed, Talaxin was horrified by what happened.
 
Shortly after this event Shashara told Talaxin that she wanted to reveal how metal could be awakened, possibly leading to more swords like [[Nightblood]]. This sparked a massive argument between them, only ending when Talaxin slew her with Nightblood in order to prevent more deaths.{{book ref|wb|29}}
