Peragator

The peragator is a magical device created by Malmahan during his time on Earth under the guise of Mr. Caligo.
== Creation ==
It took Malmahan "years of work" and "many souls" to create the peragator. He confesses to 28 total murders - 15 the police knew about, and 13 they didn't, - one per year, but it is unclear whether the construction of the peragator took nearly three decades and as many souls. Given the events leading up to his return to Mirandus, it appears that Caligo hid the device in one of his teeth, or disguised it as one.
== Function ==
Little is known about the actual function of the peragator, other than it allows Malmahan to return to Mirandus alongside Lin Yang-Tanasin. Considering that Paul returns to Earth in the same place Malmahan disappeared from, it is possible that Paul's eviction from Mirandus was also tied to the peragator - though it is also possible that there is another cause for this.
Caligo claims that to activate the peragator, it requires one last soul, as death is the door. He gets Lin to kill him as he can use her memory of Mirandus and love of her son Paul for both them to step through to Mirandus.
== Trivia ==
* The word "peragator" is not an actual English word, but "peragration" is, and it means "an act of traversing". It's possible that Brandon took inspiration from it, considering that the peragator is a device for traversing between worlds.

Perchwither

Perchwither is a bioluminescent fungus which grows only in the kandra Homeland. It generates a dim blue light, which the kandra grow eyes specifically to see effectively inside.
A glowstone is a large, porous rock which perchwither grows on. TenSoon noted that the Trustwarren did not use glowstone for its light, instead being lit with oil lamps with blue glass.
It is possible that this is related to glowpaste on Threnody.

Perel

Perel is a field commander on Roshar.
== History ==
Perel was present at the Battle of Narak under the command of Adolin Kholin. He was seen wearing a large stormcoat due to the heavy rain.
He commanded a battalion that included heavy infantry and spearmen. Adolin asked him to prepare a charge against the listeners near some bright lighting fabrials placed by Navani. However, the listeners focused their attention on Adolin and rendered him unable to break through their front, thwarting the Alethi strategy. Perel called a partial retreat and reported to Adolin that the two armies were in a stalemate. He was confused as to why some of the enemy forces continued to sing behind the lines rather than joining the fight. Adolin wanted to stop the singing, but Perel warned him against attempting a solo assault. Adolin decided to have Perel take some soldiers and create a distraction while he launched a sneak attack on the singers by traveling through the hollow rock formations.
== Trivia ==
* Perel uses the idiom "treading water" to describe the stalemate during the battle. Adolin has no idea what he is talking about, and Perel calls it a "swimming term".
* Perel shares a name and some characteristics with Vedekar Perel, an officer in the Sebarial army who was found murdered in Urithiru and was likely present at the Battle of Narak. At one point, General Khal and Dalinar specifically mentioned the possibility of using Sebarial troops to support Adolin. However, Adolin claims that he did not know Vedekar Perel and May Aladar's investigation indicates that he was known as a quiet administrator, not a soldier.

Peret

Peret the Black was a pewter Misting (aka a Pewterarm) rapist in the Roughs of Scadrial.
Peret was the first criminal that Waxillium Ladrian brought in as a lawman in the Roughs, around twenty years prior to his return to Elendel. As a Thug, Peret was notoriously dangerous and had a large bounty on his head. Wax decided to pursue him, and within a few days, he killed Peret and brought him back to the lawkeeper station draped over his horse.
Wax gained quite a bit of respect and notoriety for bringing in someone as vile as Peret. However, he later revealed to Marasi that he had been broke and the money was his primary motivation. He figured that any of the outlaws could kill him, so he might as well go after Peret since he was worth the most. When Wax first met Lessie, she thought he looked like a dandy and was surprised that he had been able to kill someone like Peret the Black. Wax told her about what had really happened—he shot Peret in the back whilst he was relieving himself. Lessie mocked Wax, who jokingly claimed that he had killed Peret "as bravely as any man ever shot another in the back."

Perethom

Perethom is a lighteyed Alethi highlord on Roshar. He served as one of Dalinar Kholin's officers for many years, and Dalinar considered him a good soldier and a good friend.
== History ==
===Rathalas (c. )===
Perethom participated in the destruction of Rathalas as a highmarshal of the Kholin army. Perethom took Dalinar's orders to have his men prepare oil and flaming brands for a nighttime assault on the city. He presumably led the charge on the walls of Rathalas, eventually securing a section of the wall in a furious, bloody fight. Teleb and Sadeas—both Shardbearers—subsequently joined the fight and routed the last of the defenders. After that, Dalinar ordered the entire city burned.
===Shattered Plains ()===
A decade later, Perethom served as Dalinar's infantrylord on the Shattered Plains, commanding his foot soldiers. When a chasmfiend was spotted and the Kholin army decided to go on a plateau run, Perethom notified Dalinar that his second and third battalions were on duty.
Perethom, along with Havar, Ilamar, and six thousand other members of the Kholin army, died during the Battle of the Tower after Sadeas's betrayal of Dalinar.

Perpetual Sobriety

Perpetual Sobriety is a settlement in the Sea of Souls, part of the Rosharan subastral of the Cognitive Realm. It is located on a peninsula north of Ageless Beauty, and is south of the Basin of the Veiled Sun. In the Physical Realm, the peninsula Perpetual Sobriety exists on is a river that separates Azir and Emul.
Perpetual Sobriety's name and proximity to Lasting Integrity may suggest the place is under honorspren control.
Nazh notes that the place is also perpetually boring, likely due to its lack of alcohol.

Peter Ahlstrom

Peter Ahlstrom is Vice President of Editorial for Dragonsteel Entertainment.
Brandon Sanderson met Peter while attending Brigham Young University. Peter was an editor for numerous anime comics, including several for TOKYOPOP, before being hired as Brandon's assistant around 2007. Peter was promoted to editor and then editorial director by at least March, 2020.
Peter is married to continuity editor Karen Ahlstrom, with whom he has three children.
== Cameos ==
Peter has several cameos in Brandon's work. In the Mistborn series there's "Ahlstrom Square" in Luthadel, the "Ahlstrom Tower" in Elendel,, Lord Peterus in Alloy of Law, and Lieutenant Ahlstrom in Shadows of Self.
Both Peter and his wife Karen cameo in The Stormlight Archive as Peet, a member of Bridge Four, and Peet's fiancée Ka.
In the Skyward series, the commonly used "Ahlstrom Loop" flight maneuver is named after Peter.
In the Alcatraz series, the green jacket Alcatraz wears is actually Peter's green jacket.
== Acknowledgements ==
Peter's name can also be found after many unique and often nonsensical adjectives beginning with "I" in the acknowledgements sections of Brandon's books, as part of an in-joke that has persisted ever since he referred to Peter as "Incalculable" in the first Mistborn novel.
Other adjectives used so far include "Indivisible", "Insoluble", "Incandescent", "Inevitable", "Immaculate", "Inseparable", "Interpolated", "Instant", "Incumbent", "Inciting", "Insistent", "Inconsecutive", "Institutional", Indefatigable", "Ineffable",, "In-Demand", "Insatiable", "Inland", "Installed", "Instructional", "Industry-Standard", and "Inviting".
Janci Patterson appears to have contributed, possibly unintentionally, by referring to Peter as an "incredible" editor.

==Collaboration==
Brandon had been sitting on an idea for a necromancer novel for many years. He changed the protagonist from a pizza delivery man to a heavy metal singer and decided to bring in a coauthor, and he immediately thought of Peter, who is also a heavy metal musician and has toured internationally. Brandon completed the outline and worldbuilding, while Peter wrote the first draft and developed the characters.

Petrine

Petrine is a Southern Scadrian crewmember of the Brunstell.
==Appearance and Personality==
Petrine is in her sixties and has wrinkled skin. Because she is Malwish, she wears a mask that obscures her face, and presumably changes her mask on occasion. She is tough and courageous.
==History==
Petrine was a crew member of the Malwish airship Brunstell captained by Jordis. She served as the enginemaster of the ship and was the eldest member of the crew. She was on the Brunstell during its expedition to the mountains near the Elendel Basin seeking the Bands of Mourning and the lost temple of the Sovereign. After the ship crashed in Dulsing, the crew and their ship were captured by the Set. The Set tortured the Malwish for information, killing some of them. Petrine was among the captives that that were eventually taken into the mountains to help search for the temple.
The captives were kept in a tent and were not able to contend with the cold weather in the mountains; Jordis was surprised that Petrine survived so long in the cold, given her age. When the situation became truly desperate, Petrine suggested that the Malwish make one final effort to resist their captors, even if they were killed doing so. However, Allik then arrived to release them, and he helped Petrine and the rest of the crew recover using medallions. Steris had brought guns to arm the Malwish, and Petrine helped distribute them before the group engaged the Set in a gunfight.

Pewternaut

The Pewternaut is a class of steel-hulled warships from Scadrial. They were developed by Lord Mayor Bastien Severington of Bilming along with Dr. Florin Malin around .
They are heavily armored warships with reinforced hulls, electrical rangefinders, and a total armament of sixteen 12-inch naval artillery guns, with a range of 16 miles. They are capable of reaching a top speed of 24 miles an hour. The Pewternaut represented a significant technological advancement compared to the clipper ships typically in use around the Basin.
Senator Inis Julien and other members of a delegation from Elendel that were invited to the unveiling of the ships publicly mocked them as unnecessary. This likely contributed to growing anti-Elendel sentiment in other cities, some of it incited by Lord Severington.
== History ==
Under the covert direction of Telsin and the Set, Bilming continued building up its fleet and developing its weaponry in the following years, supposedly under Elendel's control, but in actuality clearly for its own purposes.
In , Telsin used the Pewternaut A16 as a backup method of bringing a powerful bomb from Bilming to Elendel after the original rocket-based system failed to work. Using the Pewternaut meant that the bomb could not be blocked by train or road closures, the boat was also set on a straight course to Elendel, and set up so that if brought off course, the bomb would detonate. Despite this, Wax and Wayne were able to prevent the bomb from properly detonating, at the cost of Wayne's life. This also destroyed the ship.
== Trivia ==
* The Pewternaut is described as something analogous in nearly every way to the real-life ship sub-class of battleship starting with their namesake, HMS Dreadnought, which possessed 5 twin 12-inch naval artillery guns at the exact same speed. Given the increased weight in naval guns at the same speed, it can be speculated that the first Pewternaut(s) were built with less protection. Additionally, the most likely layout of the main battery is 2 super-firing turrets forward, 2 aft (rear), and 4 turrets on either side allowing for a hefty broadside of 12 of their 16 guns.
== Notes ==
Phone Company

The Phone Company, commonly referred to as the PC, was a corporate entity responsible for developing human cytonics.
== History ==
In the year 2071 a failing phone company called Northern Bell Incorporated invested in developing Cyto, a cybernetic-based telepathic linking. The few signals that they managed to get through the system attracted the attention of the tenasi. When the United Governments military accidentally shot down the tenasi ambassadorial ship, the PC brokered the Tenasi Agreement in exchange for complete autonomy and a monopoly on FTL technology.
 
After negotiating the Tenasi Agreement, they were the only group of humans with cytonic capabilities or technology, and the de facto controllers of access to it. Additionally, aliens refused to deal with humanity except through the Phone Company.
Though the Superiority keeps humans contained and Earth has vanished, they managed to maintain their existence through the Human Wars.
== Members ==
As of 2211, their chief operative was Jason Write and the head of their Central Operations was Lanna Write. Other members included Aaron, Doran, and Riely.
== Trivia ==
They are planned to have cameos in the Skyward series.
== Notes ==
Pieces

Pieces is a guessing game played on Roshar.
==Gameplay==
The game involves a player taking the role of the "mink" and arranging ten unique tiles or tokens such that nine of them are placed face down in a triangle, with the tenth piece placed face up and referred to as the "seed". The other players attempt to duplicate the mink's hidden arrangement by asking questions, peeking, and guessing. Certain rules can force the mink to reveal information about the placement of the hidden tokens. The players place bets on who will make the closest match. When a player "calls", the round ends and the pattern is revealed. The mink and the player with the most correct matches split the pot; the mink's share is determined by several factors including the length of the round.
==Culture==
Pieces is one of the few wagering games allowed by the Vorin church since there is no randomization that would lead to players attempting to "guess the future". Pieces is often played by Alethi soldiers, and at least one version of the game uses the ten Alethi Highprinces as the ten tokens.
==History==
While in Urithiru, Veil found Shallan's men—Vathah, Gaz, Red and Shob—playing pieces in the Sebarial barracks common room. The round began with Vathah playing as the mink, but Shob called for the finish after only a few rounds, frustrating Gaz and Red. Vathah was amazed when Veil was able to discern the exact layout with minimal effort. Gaz ran out of spheres and the men switched to playing for ends instead.
== Notes ==
Pielle Fromed

Pielle Fromed is the leader of the opposition in the Bilming Council on Scadrial. He dresses professionally and is mostly bald with a few patches of hair.
Besides being the opposition leader in Bilming, Pielle also filled the role of local advisor to the Elendel Senate before being kidnapped by the Set and kept in captivity along with certain other political dissidents. He was extremely grateful when Marasi Colms, Moonlight, and TwinSoul discovered the group in the caverns below Bilming, as the Set had been performing experiments with Hemalurgy on the captives.
== Notes ==
Pilevine

Pilevines or pile-vines are a type of plant on Roshar.
Pilevines produce red fruits with a stringy texture. They can grow to "towering" heights in the Drunmu Basin.
Pilevine fruits are eaten by Alethi soldiers on the Shattered Plains. When the fruit becomes overripe, some of the soldiers throw them at bridgemen. During his time in Bridge Four, Moash was hit in the face by a pilevine fruit.

Pinnacle

The Pinnacle is King Elhokar Kholin's palace on the Shattered Plains.
== Layout ==
The Pinnacle stands on a hill above all the other warcamps, about an hour's march from the Kholin warcamp. It is surrounded by a sheer drop of approximately a hundred feet. One road leads to the main entrance, while a smaller side route goes down to the stables at the feet of the hill. Likewise, the feasting basin sits beneath the palace, with a short climb between it and the Pinnacle gates. The Outer Market is also located nearby.
The palace is made of sculpted, Soulcast stone. A broad gateway leads inside, though there is also a back entrance atop a flight of steps. Within, the Pinnacle has several floors containing vast, cavernous halls, and numerous rooms serving a variety of purposes. A large part of it is dug straight into the hill, with windows cut out facing leeward. There are shutters on the windows to keep them closed during bad weather, though they tend to rattle and leak.
=== Notable rooms ===
;The Gallery of Maps: The Gallery of Maps, as its name implies, houses numerous maps of both the world and the local area, as well as the list of highprinces and the number of gemhearts they have won. The long room is covered by a stretched dome, with large skylights which shine down upon formations of shalebark.
;The conference chamber: The king's conference chamber is located on one of the Pinnacle's topmost floors. The king and his family spend highstorms in there, while Dalinar is tied up for the duration of his visions. During working hours, the strategy and politics meetings between the king and his highprinces take place within the room.
;The kitchens: The kitchens, where food is prepared, are located near the bottom of the palace, perhaps on the ground floor. The back entrance to the Pinnacle leads there.
;The king's quarters: The set of rooms where Elhokar lives. There is a small balcony there facing towards the Origin, allowing the king to observe the Shattered Plains. It is Elhokar's favorite location in the palace, a fact which is well-known.
== History ==
The palace was constructed by the royal Soulcasters during the War of Reckoning. Elhokar eventually dubbed it the Pinnacle, and the name stuck.
During its existence, the place served as Elhokar's home, as well as the place where strategy and planning meetings were conducted, making it effectively the centre of Alethi government. In addition, the Pinnacle saw several failed attempts to assassinate the king - once by the Diagram, through a sliced railing in the royal quarters, once by the Assassin in White, and once directly by Moash and Graves. Following that last attempt, Kaladin temporarily relocated Elhokar to Little Herdaz.
After the Battle of Narak, most Alethi relocated to Urithiru. As with the other structures on the Shattered Plains, the Pinnacle was all but abandoned.
== Notes ==
Pitch

Pitch, known as the Black City, is the capital of the Blackened Lands on Mirandus. Pitch was built either before or during the time of Karkun, the first Dark One. The city is home to the drull, where they congregate and build Ironkeepers to fight against the Kingdoms of Light
== Geography ==
Pitch is located centrally within the Blackened Lands, sitting on top of the Backflow, a river that connects the Rust Banks in the north to the Quiet River in the south. The city contains the Dark Keep, dominating the many surrounding stone and brick buildings that make up the city. Large arched stone bridges dominate the city, intermixed with towers that are dwarfed by the Black Keep, which sits above all other buildings. Contained within the Black Keep is the Well of Sorrows.
The city was built over centuries to house the followers of the Dark One, the drull, and as a place to remember previous leaders and protect the drull's most sacred places. The drull built great weapons such as the Ironkeepers, that were kept here for the Dark One's use.
Following the losses from all the previous iterations of the Narrative, the city has fallen into disrepair. Collapsed buildings litter the city, and the many arches are crumbling to pieces, barely holding together. Drull litter the streets, living in ramshackled houses.
== Notes ==
Pits of Eltania

The Pits of Eltania is an area on Scadrial after Harmony's Ascension. It is located somewhere in the Roughs.
It is an area that is home to multiple koloss tribes who make the area very dangerous to venture into. It contains the Survivor's Treasure in a pool of water. There is also a cave, and a large body of churning water. The Elendel Daily claims that precious and previously unknown metals are to be found there. Jak went there, encountered the koloss, and found the Survivor's treasure. It consisted of a large chest made of aluminum, and filled with numerous Spikes.
