Ashertmarn
also known as Heart of the Revel
One of the Unmade identified in Hessi's Mythica. Hessi has little to say about him beyond that he leads people to indulge in excess; Shallan suspects he is the Unmade behind the Cult of Moments in Kholinar and the queen's behaviour in the months leading up to the riots. SA:OB:Ch 77
One of the Unmade, according to Wit — the spren that the inner circle of the Cult of Moments gathers around on the Oathgate platform each night, whose proximity drives its followers to feast and party themselves into hedonist excess. SA:OB:Ch 67 superseded at SA:OB:Ch 77
Known facts
- speaks-into-shallan-during-cult-processionWalking among a Cult of Moments procession in the Swiftspren costume, Shallan hears the Unmade whispering in the back of her mind — *Surrender. Give me your passion, your pain, your love. Embrace the end* — and an unsettling personal line, *Shallan, I'm not your enemy.* She breaks loose and scares the cultists into flight by impersonating a counter-spren.SA:OB:Ch 74
- sheathes-kholinar-oathgate-control-buildingAshertmarn has wrapped his throbbing body around the Oathgate control building atop the Kholinar platform, black veins as thick as a man's leg sunk into the surrounding stone — the same way the Midnight Mother had enveloped the gemstone pillar beneath Urithiru. Worshippers of his cult walk laps in concentric rings around him to a *bum-ba-ba-bum* pulse.SA:OB:Ch 78
Events
- SA:OB:Ch 84 The dark pulsing heart overgrowing the control building is the Heart of the Revel; he tries to sweep Shallan into the revel through her hand, then withdraws of his own accord — as Sja-anat will tell her, by design.
