The Unmade
A class of ancient, terrible spren — splinters of Odium himself, created long ago and ordered to sow chaos and spawn horrors against humankind. Re-Shephir, the Midnight Mother, is named as one of them by Renarin when she rises beneath Urithiru. SA:OB:Ch 29
Known facts
- only-re-shephir-was-imprisoned-the-others-are-still-looseFrom her contact with Re-Shephir, Shallan tells Palona that the rest of the Unmade were likely never captured — she felt the Midnight Mother's isolation and loneliness, the sense of being torn away while *the others* escaped. They have been at large ever since, indistinguishable to humankind from how things have always been.SA:OB:Ch 32
- distorts-emotion-spren-in-kholinarThe Unmade roosting over the Kholinar palace is *not* the same one Shallan and Adolin fought beneath Urithiru — there are no paired-murder patterns here — and its presence visibly warps the city's emotion spren: painspren that should be little orange hands appear sickly green and clawed, exhaustionspren burn red instead of brown, anticipationspren grow whip-like tendrils, shamespren fall as broken glass instead of petals. Some spren — hungerspren among them — look unchanged.SA:OB:Ch 62
