Upon reaching Celebrant, a city with stunning variety of spren, Kaladin, Adolin, and Syl head toward the market to resupply. Kaladin notices there are no spren "children." Syl explains to Kaladin how spren reproduce and says that it's rare, with some spren only partaking after hundreds of years. Kaladin is surprised that spren are so old, but Syl cautions that time doesn't affect spren in the same way, noting that without a bond, most of them don't change. Kaladin spots an unusual painting at one of the stalls that depicts a kneeling figure with nine shadows. The stall merchant, an ashen spren, tells him that the painting was from the Court of Gods and that it is rare for one to escape being burned at the Court. Kaladin feels the renewed sense of urgency to find Dalinar. Multiple spren appear to recognize Syl, who is disguised by both Shallan's lightweaving and clothing that Adolin bought at the market. Syl admits to Kaladin that she has been trying to hide her identity because there is a bounty of Stormlight on her capture/return to the Honorspren capital, which she escaped when she came to the physical realm.
 
After consulting with the dock registrar, Shallan, Azure, and Pattern go from ship to ship to try to find a passage to the Peaks or Thaylen City. They are informed that no one is sailing to Cultivation's Perpendicularity because voidspren, some of which are accompanied by Fused, are sailing warships there and demanding tribute from any who approach. Shallan and AzureThey hide when they see a Fused talking to Captain Ico on his ship and are aghast when later they see that the ship has been set on fire.

Shallan informs the registrar that they are Radiants. Delighted by the notion that honor has returned to men, the registrar urges them to try to find safe passage as quickly as possible. With no other available options, Syl reveals herself to a white ship with gold accents - the ship of Honorspren that are sailing to Lasting Integrity, the Honorspren capital. They recognize her and allow her and the others to board. Syl is restrained and cautions Kaladin against interfering. A Fused appears to see them boarding but flies away in the opposite direction.
