The '''Unmade''' are a group of nine{{book ref|sa3|1}} ancient and twisted [[spren]]{{book ref|sa3|62}} on [[Roshar]] comprised of [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]].{{wob ref|1672}} They are minions of Odium, doing his bidding.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Many exist between the Physical and Cognitive Realms, belonging fully to neither.{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} While they are traditionally depicted as personifications of destruction or forces, some of them are cognizant individuals.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|91}} Each Unmade is endowed with vast and terrible powers,{{epigraph ref|sa3|89}} although the intelligence of the Unmade vary drastically. An Unmade may be captured in a [[polestone]] like other spren, but to do so seems to require both someone who deeply understands them{{book ref|sa3|30}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} and a perfect gemstone.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

CenturiesPrior beforeto the [[TrueDay Desolationof Recreance|Recreance]], a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] managed to trap [[Re-Shephir]], an act previously thought impossible.{{book ref|sa3|30}} Re-Shephir then escaped her imprisonment by unknown means centuries before the [[True Desolation]]. After the [[Alethi]] arrived at [[Urithiru]], she once again encountered a Lightweaver, [[Shallan Davar]]. Sensing the similarities between Shallan's powers and those of the Lightweaver who had trapped her in the past, Re-Shephir fled rather than risk being imprisoned again.{{book ref|sa3|30}} During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Dalinar Kholin]] used his intimate knowledge about the Thrill's nature, and the method of capturing spren through coaxing them into a [[polestone|gemstone]], to capture Nergaoul in the [[King's Drop]].{{book ref|sa3|121}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} It is unclear whether this is the same method that the ancient Radiants used.
