Mercystar

Mercystar is a Returned from Hallandren on Nalthis. She is the goddess of kindness and benevolence.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Mercystar is a gorgeously voluptuous woman. Like nearly all Returned, she exemplifies physical beauty. Lightsong describes her as very curvaceous, even plump, and quite busty. Her colors are orange and gold. Her clothing is typically quite garish.
She is a good woman, although she is vain and a bit of a drama queen. She seems to live in excess, as she is seen lounging on a couch while serving men fan her with large palm leaves.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a Returned, Mercystar has a divine Breath which gives her the benefits of the Fifth Heightening. This includes:
* Aura Recognition - allows her to assess the number of Breaths a person possesses. 
* Perfect Pitch
* Perfect Color Recognition - allows her to instantly and instinctively determine exact shades of colors and their hue harmonics.
* Perfect Life Sense - allows her to sense people around her.
* Agelessness - makes her immune to most toxins and physical ailments, as well as making her functionally immortal.
Mercystar is known for her involvement in politics, yet she is not all that inﬂuential. She can be easily swayed by other Returned such as Blushweaver that are more skilled with rhetoric. 
She has the command of ten thousand Lifeless, and is one of the Returned who had access to a series of tunnels that connected different palaces, including the God King's palace. A lockable grate prevents unwanted access to her palace from the tunnels.
== History ==
Vasher broke into Mercystar's palace to investigate the tunnels that she and several other Returned had running underneath their palaces. Blushweaver used this incident as an excuse to visit Mercystar with Lightsong. Blushweaver convinced her that the attack had been perpetrated by an Idrian and to join them in "preparing for war".
Lightsong, however, was interested in why one person would have caused so much damage and left behind a Lifeless squirrel yet at the same time tried to kill as few people as possible. He went to Mercystar's palace to ask questions about the incident. Although Lightsong was actually just curious about what happened, his interest seemed to help persuade Mercystar to give Blushweaver control of her Lifeless.
She sent her priests to the King's palace via the tunnels, which helped Lightsong understand their existence and importance.
On the night of the Pahn Kahl rebellion, Lightsong and Llarimar entered the tunnel complex under Mercystar's palace, where he stumbled upon Blushweaver being held captive by Pahn Kahl scribes disguised as priests.
== Trivia ==
* Mercystar is supposed to hint at what a lot of the goddesses are like. There would be a good number of them who would turn out just like this—given anything they want, told how important they are, and blessed with a beautiful and perfect body no matter what they eat or how they act.
* In the 10th Anniversary leatherbound edition of Warbreaker Mercystar's colors were changed from yellow/orange and gold to just orange and gold.

Merit

Merit is a groom on Roshar.
Merit was one of six darkeyed soldiers that Adolin Kholin selected to join a diplomatic mission to Lasting Integrity sent by the coalition of monarchs. Adolin selected trustworthy, levelheaded men that had a variety of skills, and he knew that Merit's training as a groom would be useful. Merit was present in Urithiru when the team departed and led the pack animals onto the Oathgate.
During the team's journey in Shadesmar, he removed the supplies that Gallant was carrying in order to give him a rest. Merit was presumably experienced with Ryshadium, as Gallant was known to have disdain for common grooms. Merit returned to Urithiru within a few weeks after Adolin surrendered to the honorspren.
== Notes ==
Mesh

Mesh is a squadleader in Brightlord Meridas Amaram's army.
== History ==
During one of Amaram's battles, Kaladin Stormblessed ended up reinforcing Mesh's squad while trying to find his brother, Tien. Mesh had lost a lot of men in that battle and was having difficulty holding his position. The enemy army was coming in a pincer formation at his squad from the south and the east, but he and his neighboring squadleader, Varth, were told by a messenger that they were to only hold against an east assault. Kaladin caught sight of Tien in Varth's squad and abandoned his position in the line just as the enemy troops reached them. Already lacking in reinforcements, this additional weakness in the lines caused Mesh's squad to crumple under the enemy assault, falling apart and losing their discipline immediately. It is unknown if Mesh himself survived the battle.

Metalurgistics Allied

Metalurgistics Allied is a firm hiring out Metalborn in Elendel on Scadrial.
They are located on Carronberry Square in the 7th Octant of Elendel. They primarily hire out Mistings, but Ferrings can usually be supplied with advance notice. Jarrington is in charge of recruitment, and Metalborn interested in employment are directed to speak with him.

Mevan Bay

Mevan Bay is a section of the Tarat Sea that borders southern Alethkar and Jah Keved as well as part of the Frostlands.
The port city of Dumadari lies on the north shore of the bay. The Deathbend River forms a delta that empties into the eastern section of the bay near the Alethi city Karanak. Several other small rivers empty into the bay, including the rivers that form part of the borders between Jah Keved, Alethkar, and the Frostlands.
== Notes ==
Mi'chelle Yomen

Lady Mi'chelle Yomen, née Ostlin, is a wealthy Elendel noblewoman on Scadrial, and member of House Yomen.
== History ==
Mi'chelle wed Lord Joshin Yomen, and their reception was held at Yomen Manor. The event was attended by Waxillium Ladrian, Wayne, Jackstom Harms, Steris Harms, Marasi Colms, Khriss, and Hoid. It was attacked by Miles and the Vanishers. They stole a number of valuables from the reception, including Mi'chelle's bridal necklace.
== House Ladrian ==
Lady Yomen is the first Senator to vote on the bill to give Elendel more power over the outer cities, voting against it, aligning her decision with Wax's speech. She is also described as a good friend and a very trustworthy senator by Wax when a letter implicating many members of the Elendel Senate is brought to light by Maraga. Wax and his allies's heroic actions at the Yomen wedding as well as his involvement in the investigation and capture of the Vanishers is likely what caused a high amount of trust between these two senators. 
== Connection with Hoid ==
Hoid came to the reception, dressed as a beggar wearing black, to offer his congratulations. The reasons Hoid is friends with Joshin and Mi'chelle are still unknown, perhaps they are Worldhoppers themselves.
== Trivia ==
* Lady Mi'chelle is a cameo for Mi'chelle Walker, one of the founders of 17thshard.com.
== Notes ==
Mi Won

Mi Won is one of Stephen Leeds' aspects.
She is Korean, and is Stephen's surgeon and field medic. During the White Room she analyzes the effects of inserting extra DNA into muscle cells.
Along with Clive and Arnaud, Mi Won is among the aspects best equipped to think about higher-level chemistry. She concludes that I3 and Yol Chay are keeping information from Stephen.
Later, when Stephen began to lose control of his aspects, Mi Won was the first to arrive when Armando died. She left the room and told Ivy of the death. Ivy then pushed into the room and demanded more details.
== Notes ==
Miasal

Miasal was a darkeyed child from Hearthstone on Roshar.
At five years old, she suffers a fall, severely breaking her leg and suffering a head injury. Kaladin happens to be in the area and manages to cauterize her leg wound and stop the blood loss, but he is not able to save her life. Her father, Harl, is distraught when she dies. Lirin later praises Kaladin's actions, but Kaladin sees Miasal's death as his failure.
== Notes ==
Michael

Michael is a student at Armedius Academy on the isle of New Britannia.
==Appearance and Personality==
He has blond hair. He is privileged, and does not like being reminded that he is not a Rithmatist. He is flirtatious with female students, including Eva Winters and Mary Isenhorn.
==History==
Michael attended Armedius Academy at the same time as Joel Saxon. Michael was the son of a knight-senator and was thought of as an important person on the Armedius campus, since he would one day become a knight-senator himself. He was also well-known for the large parties that he held at his summer home in the north.
Joel tutored Michael in math after class; Michael hoped to attend law school after the Academy. The two of them got along well and sometimes hung out together at school. Joel often talked to Michael about Rithmatics, but Michael was uninterested. He barely understood how Rithmatics worked and expressed disdain for the Rithmatic students, although he was curious about the true state of affairs at the Tower of Nebrask. Like many people, he questioned Joel's obsession with Rithmatic theory given the fact that he could not become a Rithmatist himself. Because of Joel's low social standing, Michael did not invite him to his summer party.
== Notes ==
Michim

Michim is a guessing game on Roshar. It involves betting numbers of colored stones.
Sigzil and Teft play it while waiting for Kaladin to return from the Shattered Plains. Teft complains about Sigzil using the name 'michim' as it is a 'holy word' in Vorinism, though Sigzil points out that the word is not holy where the game originated. Teft loses most of the time.
== Notes ==
Microkinesis

Microkinesis is a manifestation of Investiture originating on Yolen.
==Magic==
Microkinesis grants the power to manipulate the forces that bind axi together. Axi are thought to be the smallest units of matter in the cosmere, although some figures display a more nuanced understanding of axial structure and make reference to subaxial entities such as electrons. It is unclear if microkinesis allows for the fine manipulation of subaxial particles.
A practitioner of microkinesis is able to see individual axi and interact with them. The manipulation of axial forces can be "explosive" and incredibly dangerous. It is not known how the power of microkinesis is granted or accessed, or what races or individuals can use it.
According to Khriss, microkinesis is a sort of "cousin" to the Surge of Cohesion, as both can manipulate a force known as the strong axial interconnection that holds all matter together. Microkinesis has more sheer power than Cohesion, as Honor placed limits on Cohesion in order to avoid replicating unknown harmful events on Yolen. However, microkinesis does not grant the same Connection to the shaped material that Cohesion does. It is not clear whether or not microkinesis can also manipulate the axial force related to the Surge of Tension known as soft axial interconnection.
==History==
Microkinesis is one of the oldest magics in the cosmere, as it predates the Shattering of Adonalsium. Its origins and any wielders are unknown; the only time it is known to have been used was during some unspecified "mistakes" on Yolen that were presumably disastrous. 
The original Vessels were very cautious regarding the danger of microkinesis, as Honor took its power into account during the creation of Surgebinding. Rayse, however, did not view it the same way, and freely granted powers to the people of Alaswha that reminded Honor of the powers of Microkinesis.
==Trivia==
*Microkinesis was one of the first magic systems that Brandon designed for the cosmere and it is discussed in Dragonsteel Prime. However, it was far too powerful in its original form. Various aspects of the magic have therefore not been canonized, but its existence has always remained canon, and it will presumably feature in the rewritten Dragonsteel novels.
*Axi are analogous to atoms, and microkinesis was inspired by fundamental forces, including the strong and weak interactions between subatomic particles. However, Brandon intentionally used invented terms for these concepts in the cosmere in order to give himself more freedom with the mechanics of the magic.
*Brandon has not decided if microkinesis or another canonical magic system will be able to split axi into smaller particles. Another aspect of microkinesis that has not been canonized is the ability to manipulate spiritwebs.

Middlefest Fair

The Middlefest Fair is an annual festival that takes place on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
== Time & Location ==
The Middlefest Fair takes place at the same time each year, during Midpeace. Midpeace is the period opposite the Weeping in the Rosharan year. There are no highstorms during Midpeace, but it does not have the incessant rain of the Weeping. This gap in the storms allows for the longer festival. It also seems likely that the Middlefest fair gets its name from Midpeace.
The Middlefest Fair is celebrated in the kingdoms of Jah Keved and Alethkar, but it is uncertain which others participate. In rural regions of the kingdoms, there are traditional fairgrounds on the highlords' lands where the festivities are set up each year. Local lords of at least the fourth dahn and their vassal houses attend the fairs, along with their households.
== Events ==
The Middlefest Fair is the highlight of the year for many darkeyes and lighteyes alike. Among the most popular events are the duels. Fought by lighteyes of low dahn, the duels are one of the few ways that lesser landless lighteyes can gain notoriety in their area. Higher-ranking lighteyes get boxes to view the fights, and even occasionally participate themselves.
There are also simple games of guessing and chance. Occasionally a Worldsinger will attend to provide tales of far-off lands and peoples. The darkeyes bring drums and sing songs together. Eating, drinking and gambling are also common activities. People play card games and bet on axehound fights. Children are often given sweets.
The fair is also an opportunity for merchants, including highly ranked darkeyes, to sell their wares. Exotic goods and creatures are bought and sold, such as "chickens" from exotic Shinovar. Lighteyes also use the event to make various trade agreements and maneuver for influence among one another and with the local highprince.
== Notable Middlefests ==
In Shallan Davar's youth, she attends a Middlefest Fair on her family's lands. Her father was forced to agree to a disadvantageous trade agreement with Brightlord Revilar, who has the favor of Highprince Valam. Shallan attempted to bring happiness to her family by helping repair the damage their father did to Balat, Jushu, and Wikim. She also met Hoid, who tested Shallan's Lightweaving abilities, delivered a message from Helaran, and encouraged her to remain strong.
== Trivia ==
* When Kaladin Stormblessed tears up Tvlakv's map en route to the Shattered Plains, he spitefully wishes the Thaylen a happy Middlefest.
* House Davar uses canvas draped between jella trees to create canopies that are used as pavilions.
== Notes ==
Midge

Midge is a soldier in Elend's army on Scadrial during the Final Empire. He is one of the mistfallen.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is scruffy and somewhat unhinged. He is not a great soldier, as he falls asleep while on guard duty.
== History ==
When Kelsier was in the Cognitive Realm, he attempted to use Midge to communicate with Vin, as Midge's touch of madness allowed him to hear Kelsier while he slept. He tried to convince Midge to deliver a message to Vin about the corrupting influence of Ruin on anything that was not metal. Kelsier believed that Midge was just sane enough that people would not summarily dismiss him. 
Kelsier thought his plan was working when he saw Midge talking to a group of soldiers. However, Midge was not delivering Kelsier's message, but rather claiming that the Survivor told him that he was "holy" and that the other soldiers should not be trusted. The other soldiers took offense, and a brawl broke out, led by Bilg. Kelsier realized that he needed to pursue a different method of getting a message to Vin; directly influencing people proved to be too difficult, especially when Ruin was watching him.
== Notes ==
Midnight Sea

The Midnight Sea is an ocean on Lumar, made up of Midnight Aether spores. The only known inhabited land was the Sorceress' island, where the Sorceress lived until she was driven away by Tress and Hoid. Like all seas on Lumar, it is pentagonal in shape.
It is notably warm compared to other seas due to taking in large amounts of heat from the sun due to their deep black color. The sound of the seethe apparently is also different from the other seas, but it is not clear if this is a true difference, or merely a psychological effect. 
The Midnight Sea is the most dangerous of seas on Lumar due to the presence of the Sorceress and her Midnight Essence servants, which hunt those who cross into their domain. These are hard to notice in the liquidized spores, as they as black as the spores themselves, thus camouflage into it. 
 
It borders the Crimson Sea, and four other unknown seas. It is surrounded by several mountain ranges, making the Crimson Sea one of the only viable entrances.
== Trivia ==
* Prior to the release of Tress of the Emerald Sea, Brandon suggested that Midnight Sea is sometimes called "Sea of Night"; however, the phrase does not appear in the book, making its canonicity questionable.

Midpeace

Midpeace is a period that marks the middle of the Rosharan year.
The Rosharan year is 500 days long and ends with a four week period of rain known as the Weeping. Midpeace occurs at the midpoint between Weepings. Highstorms occur more frequently as Midpeace approaches and after it ends, but they do not occur at all during Midpeace. Although the exact duration of Midpeace is not mentioned, it is the longest sustained period on Roshar without rain; since "natural" storms that are not highstorms or the Everstorm are rare, many rivers typically dry up by the end of Midpeace. 
Residents of Roshar use the fair weather of Midpeace to celebrate and travel. Alethkar, Jah Keved, and possibly other nations hold outdoor festivals known as Middlefest Fairs. Yokska mentions traveling to Liafor during Midpeace to see the latest fashion trends.

Migs

Migs is a gang leader in Elendel on Scadrial.
Migs ran a crew of eight crooks. In , the crew attempted a heist of some kind and things went seriously wrong. Migs shot two constables, although they survived their wounds.
Migs and his gang holed up in their hideout, located in an old pub. They barricaded themselves in overnight; the constabulary attempted to negotiate, telling Migs he would not be hanged for his crimes, but he refused to surrender. In the morning, Waxillium Ladrian and Wayne were called in to raid the hideout despite the fact that Wax's wedding to Steris Harms was scheduled later in the day. Wax easily broke through the crew's barricade, drawing their gunfire and deflecting it with a steel bubble. Meanwhile, Wayne sneaked in undetected; he punched Migs and knocked out a number of his thugs (including Guillian and Slink) while Wax kicked Drawers in the chin. Migs indicated that he would rather die than be apprehended, and questioned why Wax had not killed them all with his Allomantic powers. Wax told Migs that he wasn't worth killing, and finally convinced him to surrender.
== Known Members of Migs's Crew ==
* Guillian
* Slink
* Drawers

Mik

Mik is a child with a head wound in Yeddaw on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality==
Mik is around ten or eleven years old. He is a large child, larger than Lift. He has a prominent scar on his head that does not appear to be fully healed. His head is shaved, and the hair has not grown back on the side of his head around the scar.
== History ==
Mik was abandoned by his mother outside of the orphanage. Lift noted that he was unresponsive and drooling. His mother appeared to be quite upset about leaving him, and Wyndle was shocked by her actions; Lift speculated that Mik's mother was forced to abandon him because of her inability to tend to his special needs alongside her other children. Lift took his hand and tried to speak to him, but he showed no signs of comprehension or any ability to communicate. However, when the Stump saw Mik, she believed that he was faking his injury.
The next day, Mik approached Lift looking for food. He was able to tell her his name and speak in short sentence fragments. He seemed confused but asked after his mother. Lift thought he was just having a better day, but the Stump continued to insist that he was faking it. When Lift saw Mik again later in the day, he was able to speak normally and remembered his mother, although his memory of the last few weeks was foggy and he still did not understand why she left him at an orphanage. Lift realized that he had healed at a supernatural rate and assumed it was through her Surgebinding power known as Regrowth. She was perplexed by the fact that she seemed to be healing his mind, which she believed to be beyond her abilities, and that the healing was happening without her active participation. 
Mik's mother returned to the orphanage the next day due to her guilt about abandoning him, and he left with her. Mik's case, along with other evidence, led Lift to the conclusion that the Stump was the Surgebinder that had healed Mik. The Stump had also unknowingly healed many other children, leading to her constant skepticism about their injuries.

Mikaim

Mikaim is a listener on Roshar.
During the War of Reckoning, she was one of Venli's scholars and their surgeon. She went to Jaxlim's home after the elderly listener was found wandering around on the outer plateaus with a wounded head. Mikaim took care of Jaxlim, bandaging her wound and giving her a medication to calm her and help her sleep.
== Notes ==
Miklin

Miklin is a constable in Elendel on Scadrial.
==Appearance and Personality==
Miklin's hair stands on end like 'grass growing from a pot'. Like many of his colleagues, he is skeptical of Marasi's methods and questions her motivations, likely due to bitterness regarding her association with Aradel and Waxillium.
==History==
Miklin ran the records office at the Fourth Octant precinct. He was a close friend of Captain Reddi's, a rival of Marasi's, and was therefore somewhat obstructive of Marasi's investigation into the dam breaking near Corbeau. He was tasked with collecting info about the dam breaking despite his opinion that it was a waste of time. When Marasi came to collect the information, he complained about the assignment and argumentatively asked her why she didn't give up police work to become a prosecutor. Despite his attitude, the dossier that Miklin provided was very thorough and included a number of pieces of evidence that led Marasi and MeLaan to believe that the dam's saboteur, Johnst, was actually Bleeder.
