1-1

first zircon

"My research into the cognitive reflections of the spren at the tower has been deeply illustrative. Some thought that the Sibling had withdrawn from men by intent—but I find counter to that theory."

1-1

second zircon

"The wilting of plants and the general cooling of the air is disagreeable, yes, but some of the tower's functions remain in place. The increased pressure, for example, persists."

1-1

third zircon

"Something is happening to the Sibling. I agree this is true, but the division among the Knights Radiant is not to blame. Our perceived worthiness is a separate issue."

2-3

smokestone

"We can record any secret we wish, and leave it here? How do we know that they'll be discovered? Well, I don't care. Record that then."

2-22

smokestone

"I wish to submit my formal protest at the idea of abandoning the tower. This is an extreme step, taken brashly."

3-11

garnet

"I am worried about the tower's protections failing. If we are not safe from the Unmade here, then where?"

4-17

second topaz

"The Edgedancers are too busy relocating the tower's servants and farmers to send a representative to record their thoughts in these gemstones. I'll do it for them, then.

They are the ones who will be most displaced by this decision. The Radiants will be taken in by nations, but what of all these people now without homes?"

8-1

amethyst

"Now that we abandon the tower, can I finally admit that I hate this place? Too many rules."

8-21

second emerald

"I worry about my fellow Truthwatchers."

10-1

sapphire

"Today, I leaped from the tower for the last time. I felt the wind dance around me as I fell all the way along the eastern side, past the tower, and to the foothills below. I'm going to miss that."

10-12

sapphire

"My spren claims that recording this will be good for me, so here I go. Everyone says I will swear the Fourth Ideal soon, and in so doing, earn my armor. I simply don't think that I can. Am I not supposed to want to help people?"

12-15

ruby

"If this is to be permanent, then I wish to leave record of my husband and children. Wzmal, as good a man as any woman could dream of loving. Kmakra and Molinar, the true gemstones of my life."

16-16

amethyst

"I returned to the tower to find squabbling children, instead of proud knights. That's why I hate this place. I'm going to go chart the hidden undersea caverns of Aimia; find my maps in Akinah."

19-2

third topaz

"The enemy makes another push toward Feverstone Keep. I wish we knew what it was that had them so interested in that area. Could they be intent on capturing Rall Elorim?"

20-10

zircon

"As the duly appointed keepers of the perfect gems, we of the Elsecallers have taken the burden of protecting the ruby nicknamed Honor's Drop. Let it be recorded."

24-18

smokestone

"This generation has had only one Bondsmith, and some blame the divisions among us upon this fact. The true problem is far deeper. I believe that Honor himself is changing."

27-19

topaz

"The disagreements between the Skybreakers and the Windrunners have grown to tragic levels. I plead with any who hear this to recognize you are not so different as you think."

29-5

topaz

"As a Stoneward, I spent my entire life looking to sacrifice myself. I secretly worry that is the cowardly way. The easy way out."

29-29

ruby

"Good night, dear Urithiru. Good night, sweet Sibling. Good night, Radiants."

30-20

a particularly small emerald

"Don't tell anyone. I can't say it. I must whisper. I foresaw this."

30-20

first emerald

"Something must be done about the remnants of Odium's forces. The parsh, as they are now called, continue their war with zeal, even without their masters from Damnation."


30-20

second emerald

"A coalition has been formed among scholar Radiants. Our goal is to deny the enemy their supply of Voidlight; this will prevent their continuing transformations, and give us an edge in combat."


30-20

third emerald

"Our revelation is fueled by the theory that the Unmade can perhaps be captured like ordinary spren. It would require a special prison. And Melishi."


30-20

fourth emerald

"Ba-Ado-Mishram has somehow Connected with the parsh people, as Odium once did. She provides Voidlight and facilitates forms of power. Our strike team is going to imprison her."


30-20

fifth emerald

"We are uncertain the effects this will have on the parsh. At the very least, it should deny them forms of power. Melishi is confident, but Naze-daughter-Kuzodo warns of unintended side effects."


30-20

final emerald

"Surely this will bring—at long last—the end to war that the Heralds promised us."
