One day remains before the contest of champions.

Chapter 100 depicts events set 10,000 years before the main events of the story. It is the first in a series of chapters that reveal Honor’s experiences (as shown to Dalinar by the Stormfather).

In this earlier time, Honor is also called Tanavast, for that is the name of the man who is the vessel for Honor’s power.

Honor discovers the planet Roshar, where the spren and the Parshendi live. In the same solar system, Honor discovers a planet with humans living on it. A third planet is devoid of life but has a core made of metal that attracts magic.

Cultivation arrives on Roshar. Honor and Cultivation are lovers. They and the other shards made an agreement to stay apart from one another, but now, Cultivation and Honor decide to break that agreement so that the can be together.

Cultivation does not want to be worshipped, so she remains mostly out of sight while Honor acts as a god to the Parshendi. He admires their songs and their orderly society.

Venli and her companions debate whether or not to take El’s deal.

In the Spiritual Realm, Navani is reliving memories of being mocked and bullied as a girl.
