The Shin
Szeth's people, who hold stone as sacred and walking upon it as profane. Regarded by easterners as docile and harmless servants. SA:WoK:Prologue
Known facts
- trade-by-undervaluingTrade by undervaluing their wares — both parties to a Shin trade go out of their way to declare what they offer worthless. Try to cheat them and they will know; offer fairly and they will pay well.SA:WoK:I-4
- find-soulcast-metal-miraculousConsider Soulcast scrap metal — the discarded mis-tries of ardents — to be a miracle because it bears no stain of broken rock. They trade chickens, cloth, and exotic dried meats for it readily.SA:WoK:I-4
- kept-sacred-truth-of-honorbladesThe Shin are revealed to have been entrusted by the Heralds with the Sacred Truth — that the enemy would return — and charged to guard the eight Honorblades at the monasteries until Talmut broke, on which day Shin Honorbearers would take the Blades up and fight. Their refusal to do so in this Desolation is why Szeth has come home.SA:WaT:Ch 40
- city-populations-mustered-at-bondsmith-monasteryUnder the Unmade's shadow, every able-bodied Shin from the cities of the monastery cities was conscripted, armed, and sent to the Bondsmith monastery — the *first* on Szeth's pilgrimage list — to muster against the Shin borders. They are expected to fight Szeth when he arrives there.SA:WaT:Ch 66
