'''Testament''' is a [[deadeye]] [[Cryptic]] on [[Roshar]] who is bonded
▲'''Testament''' is a [[deadeye]] [[Cryptic]] on [[Roshar]] bonded to [[Shallan]].{{book ref|sa4|115}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Unlike living Cryptics, her head pattern is broken, with the same scraping over the eyes seen on other deadeye spren in the center of it. Instead of turning in a smooth pattern, the lines are twisted
According to Shallan, Testament was a kindly and friendly spren.{{book ref|sa4|93}}
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Being a Cryptic, Testament is able to form [[Nahel bond]]s with humans. This gives the bonded human access to the [[Surges]] of the [[Order of Lightweavers]], namely [[Illumination]] and [[Transformation]].
== History ==
Not much is known about Testament's past. For centuries, she was a friend and a business partner to an [[inkspren shopkeeper]] in [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa4|29}}
In 1165, Testament left [[Shadesmar]] to form a Nahel bond. She later bonded to [[Shallan]].{{book ref|sa4|29}}
In a duration of about two years Shallan and Testament's bond progressed enough for her to summon Testament as a [[Shardblade]], which she later used to kill her mother in self-defense. Horrified by what she had done, still only a child and in a state of grief and trauma, Shallan broke her bond to Testament the same day, blaming her.{{book ref|sa2|88}} Later, due to Shallan blocking her memories to cope with the pain, it was assumed that the Cryptic that Shallan was bonded to as a child was Pattern and that their bond had been weakened by the event due to Shallan's resentment of the sword. In reality, Shallan used Testament as a Blade, then abandoned their bond, causing Testament to become a deadeye. Pattern bonded Shallan for the first time years later, although Shallan believed that some of her powers somehow functioned in the gap between her spren bonds.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
Testament's inkspren friend later found her as a deadeye, sitting on a far off island in the east. She seemed to want to travel towards [[Nameless]], where the inkspren set up a shop; Testament stayed nearby.{{book ref|sa4|29}}
In 1175, Adolin found her in Nameless through [[Mayalaran|Maya]]. She was later brought to [[Lasting Integrity]] by the [[honorspren]]. While in Lasting Integrity, Shallan talked to her at least once.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
