Braize History
Prior to the Shattering Braize was formed in the Rosharan system by Adonalsium.[1][2] For the majority of its history the planet was inhospitable and uninhabited.
It was during the initial clashes between Honor and Odium on its closest neighbour, Roshar, that its first inhabitants would arrive to Braize. As part of an effort to halt Odium Honor deliberately bound him to the planet in order to stop his conquest of the Cosmere.[3][4][5] As part of this the Oathpact was formed which also bounded the Heralds and Fused to the planet. As per the pact so long as the Heralds did not choose to leave the planet the Fused would also be unable to escape, once however the Heralds broke and chose to return to Roshar the Fused would follow suit causing a Desolation on Roshar.[4][5] After many years of torture the Herlads began losing their sanity and decided to abandon the Oathpact at the Last Desolation leaving only Taln behind.[6] This exile from Roshar lasted 4500 years[7] before the True Desolation began allowing the Fused to permanently live on Roshar.
Braize primarily served as a prison planet for the Fused and holds no inhabitants besides them,[8] [9] this makes it the third of the three planets in the Rosharan system to hold sentient life.[10] The only type of spren that are welcomed on world is Odium spren.[11] Because of its inhabitants and the presence of Odium the world is considered unsafe by outsiders.[9] Despite the native population being bound on Braize they can still influence Roshar and Ashyn due to their proximity and the way connection and identity works between the three worlds.[12] [13]
Restares
“It took hours to decide, but Restares is right--this is what must be done. For the good of Alethkar. ”
—Amaram to Kaladin, on deciding to take the Shards for himself[14]
Restares is a member of Sons of Honor, possibly Meridas Amaram's superior, and likely one of the organization's leaders.[14][15][16] Restares may have originally brought Gavilar Kholin into the organization.[17]
History
Gavilar briefly suspected on the night of his assassination that Restares tried to kill him, but never thought that'd actually happen.[18]
Restares had a spanreed to Amaram, which was sometimes carried by Amaram's carriage driver, Pama.[15] After Kaladin saved Amaram's life and kills Helaran Davar, Restares advised that Amaram take the Shardblade and Shardplate, and to kill the witnesses and pretend that Amaram personally won the Shards. The deliberation took hours, but eventually Amaram agreed, thinking it had to be done for the good of Alethkar. This resulted in Kaladin's enslavement, and the deaths of the last surviving members of his squad, Hab, Reesh, Alabet, and Coreb.[14]
Mraize knew about Restares and referred to the Sons of Honor as Restares's cronies. Upon receiving a page of text from Shallan Davar about what Amaram knows, Mraize believed the Sons of Honor are also close to the secrets of the Shattered Plains and Urithiru.[16]
After the Battle of Narak, Amaram wrote to Restares via spanreed that the Sons of Honor are successful in their goal of bringing the Voidbringers back to Roshar, with the hopes the Heralds would also return. Amaram informed Restares of the Everstorm and the Voidbringers' red eyes.[15]
In 1175, Mraize sent Shallan to hunt Restares in Lasting Integrity.[19]
