Chapter 51 Test
The Voice that speaks to Szeth in this chapter, who does it claims to be?
What request does the Voice make of Szeth?
I am the spren of the stone you discovered, the Voice said. And I ask that you not tell others of me, Szeth. I’ve been watching over your family. I am sorry for what has happened, but there are important things for you to do
According to Adolin, what is the real challenge in wearing Plate?
“Wearing Plate,” Adolin said, “isn’t so much about learning how to do damage. That part is easy. Learning _ _ _ Well that takes practice.

AKA Makari Sin
The world of beads and a distant sun. Makari Sin in the old Shin writings. The glasslands. Shadesmar.
Now that he is the emperor, what does Yanagawn say is the hardest part for him?
“He … isn’t allowed to talk to me,” Yanagawn admitted. Oh, right. “Is that hard?” “The hardest part, Adolin. Harder than being a spectacle. Harder by far than my lessons. It’s the only thing I truly miss from the old days.”
What skill had Szeth failed to master in his training with Pozen?
Szeth should have been able to seize the Blade, then make his own Elsegate to escape. However, in the months he’d spent training with Pozen as a younger man, he had never managed it. Elsegates were a difficult skill to master, and barely a small fraction of those who trained achieved them.
If the world survives, what does Syl plan to do to the Wit?
“He can be frustrating,” Syl said. “If the world survives this, I’ll see if I can hide something extra annoying in his sock drawer.” She smiled, but then put her hand on his knee.
What was notable about the whispers Szeth heard in Shadesmar?
Here the whispers were louder. In this realm, was he closer to the souls he’d killed?
“The Nightwatcher,” he said. “She was formed of the Old Magic,” Syl said, sounding wistful as she leaned back, hovering an inch off the grassy hillside, her head tipped up to gaze at the violet moon. “She’s synonymous with it now. We call it old because it—they—are the spren that existed before we were created. The ancient spren of Roshar, predating humans and even singers.”
How does Nightblood appear in Shadesmar?
Glowing? I always glow, don’t I?
The truth of it clicked with Szeth. This was Shadesmar, the land of the mind. Sometimes what appeared here related to how it was perceived. In this realm, Nightblood looked the way it imagined itself.
What are the two reasons Adolin say he would not become Radiant?
He would not abandon Maya, and he dislikes the oaths.
