Shinovar

Known facts

ancient-spren-of-wind-stone-and-night-older-than-godsSyl tells Kaladin that few spren come to Shinovar anymore — it feels wrong to them — because older things are here: the Wind, the Stone, and the Night, ancient spren that were on Roshar before humans arrived, *older than the gods themselves*. Most spren no longer remember them. The lone trembling lifespren Kaladin finds in the abandoned Shin farmhouse senses *the end of all spren* coming.SA:WaT:Ch 35
river-of-spren-streaming-toward-monasteriesAbove Shinovar in the days of Szeth's pilgrimage, the spren of the entire land gather into a glowing river running northeast toward the final monasteries — Dustbringer, Skybreaker, and Bondsmith. Nale tells Szeth their gods have gathered to witness his decisions.SA:WaT:Ch 86
ishars-madness-spread-to-the-whole-land-leaving-it-hollowBeaten on the stone and listening to his father's strangled *please, son — it hurts,* Szeth understands the shape of what Ishar has done: as the Herald Connected himself to the land, his madness spread through everyone here. The Honorbearers are puppets; so, in lesser fashion, is every soul in Shinovar who lives in the half-shadow Szeth has been seeing all his life.SA:WaT:Ch 133
