Reference for Shashara discovering the one Breath Lifeless Command?

[AleStaar he/him]

I’m trying to make a rough timeline for Nalthis and the Returned. Coppermind claims Shashara discovered the one Breath Command to create Lifeless, but I don’t see a source.

Which chapter or WoB confirmed this?

Vasher didn’t respond. What argument could he offer? That Shashara had needed to die? It had been bad enough when she’d revealed the Commands to make Lifeless from a single breath. What if the way of making Awakened steel, like Nightblood, had entered the Manywar? Undead monsters slaughtering people with Awakened swords thirsting for blood?
