The Taker of Secrets is the alias by which Sja-anat is known.[1] She is one of the Unmade, a mysterious group of odious spren on Roshar.

She speaks to Shallan shortly after Shallan enters the revel atop the Oathgate platform in Kholinar.[2]

According to Shallan, Dalinar's visions mention her.[1]

Description[]

In a page from the volume Mythica, she is described as follows:

Sja-anat, creator and corrupter - unique among the Unmade.

Creator:

Her twisted creations are her beloved children.

Her admiration of the spren of our world inspires her.

Corruptor:

She seeks the Children of Honor and the Children of Cultivation.

With one touch, she corrupts.[1]

Notes[]

Brandon has confirmed that the Unmade are Splinters of Odium.[3] Odium splintered himself and created the Unmade to be his influence on Roshar. It is through the Unmade that Odium may be able to influence people in how they think or act.[4]
