Widor

Widor is the capital city of Fjorden on Sel, and by extension, the entire Fjordell Empire. 
It contains the Wyrn's palace, Zigareth. A sword thought to be the mythical Gretgor is enshrined somewhere in the city.
== Trivia ==
*Widor could be the title of a future Elantris sequel, however, this is subject to change as Brandon has yet to canonize the name of this book. Because the city may be very prominent in the sequel, Brandon has considered changing the name from Widor.
*Widor is not named on the map of Sycla in the 10th anniversary edition of Elantris, but it is presumably the city in northern Fjorden labeled as "Wyrn's Seat".

Widow's Trial

The Widow's Trial is a mourning ceremony in Arelon, created before the Reod.
A recent widow is expected to perform some type of charitable act. The effort and time the widow expends on her trial represents how much she valued her husband and their marriage. Typically widows give food or other necessities to the poor. Sarene utilizes the Widow's Trial to undermine Hrathen's attempt to demonize the Elantrians by taking food to them, and encourages other nobles to accompany her. It originated from the religious surrounding the Elantrians, so it is considered a pagen ritual. However, Sarene's priest as well as many other followers Shu-Korath consider it a perfectly fine ritual as it only involved giving to those who need it rather than actually worshipping Elantrians.

William Ann Montane

William Ann Montane is the fourteen year-old daughter of Silence Montane, who lives with and helps her mother in the running of a waystop in the Forests of Hell.
== Appearance & Personality ==
William Ann takes after her father in appearance, and is already taller than her mother by fourteen. She often complains of awkwardness or being too tall, but Silence thinks that these attributes imply that William Ann will be beautiful.
== History ==
On the night Silence spotted Chesterton Divide in her waystop, William Ann prepared a half dose of fenweed for the men, and convinced her mother to let her come along to track them down. She helped her mother to kill Chesterton and his men for their bounty, and to recover the body from Red Young, who later cut them off at the Old Bridge and took her hostage. She was pushed through a shade by Red after he drew her blood.
Silence rushed her to the waystop and saved William Ann's life--stopping her from being turned into a Shade--by pouring a mixture of powdered silver and water down her throat and on her face. However, her left side was blackened in the process, leaving her hand and some of her toes in need of amputation.

William Montane

William Montane is the late husband of Silence Montane, and father of William Ann Montane.
Little is known about William Montane. It seems likely that he works at Silence's waystop when it is run by Silence's grandmother. Silence becomes pregnant by William shortly before his death, although it is uncertain how he died. It also appears that he and Silence are never married legally, although she takes his surname. Silence's grandmother considers him to be a fool and an idiot for believing that the shades and the Evil are punishments from the God Beyond. When Silence gives birth to her daughter, she names the girl William Ann, after her father. William Ann takes after her father in appearance.
After William's death, his shade is said to guard Silence's waystop against enemies, although it is possible that this legend was started by Silence herself.

William Muns

William Muns is a Rithmatist fighting at the Tower of Nebrask.
William is Melody's brother. They come from the Floridian Atolls where their parents still live. Both parents as well as William's and Melody's siblings are Rithmatists, which seemed to be nearly impossible.
He was believed to have died fighting the wild chalklings when he crossed the defensive lines at Nebrask. Professor Nalizar and some other Rithmatists tried to rescue him after they saw William swarmed by wild chalklings, but failed and never found his corpse.
He was actually consumed by the Scribbler and later released after it was defeated by Fitch, Joel, and Melody.

Wilson

Wilson is the butler of Stephen Leeds. Not himself a hallucination, he is "an excellent servant and an excellent person", one of the few who does not mind, or even put up with his master's peculiarities. He often goes through the motions of making sure all of Leeds' hallucinations are comfortable, and also fetches them from their rooms and, when they ask for refreshments or foodstuffs, pretends to give them to them. Wilson turns seventy and retires the day after Stephen found Sandra.
Wilson is not, however, a sycophant. He calls Stephen out for acting improperly or disrespectfully towards clients and visitors.

Windrunner River

The Windrunner River is a body of water running through Alethkar on Roshar. It is named for the Order of Windrunners of the Knights Radiant.
==Geography==
The Windrunner River is the longest and most prominent river in northern Alethkar, and it defines the borders of several princedoms. Its catchment area spans most of northern Alethkar; the main branch of the river originates from the Unclaimed Hills near Shulin and flows northwest until it empties into the Bay of Elibath. One of its major tributaries flows from the Sunmaker Mountains and includes several branches that are close to Kholinar. Other tributaries originate near Kelathar and Tomat. The village of Hearthstone also lies on the river's path.
In Shadesmar, the river is represented by long, thin peninsulas in the Sea of Oracles, one of which contains Candlemore.
==History==
When Kaladin flew from Urithiru to the besieged city of Kholinar with Elhokar and his strike team, Sylphrena informed him that they had passed the Windrunner River to help orient him to their location on the continent. When Kaladin and Elhokar were later walking towards the city, they passed over the river on a stone bridge, and Elhokar noted that the river was named after Kaladin's prominent Radiant Order.
After the attempt to free Kholinar failed and most of the team ended up in Shadesmar, they traveled along the narrow strips of land that represented the river in the Cognitive Realm.

Winds

Winds is an Eelakin working for Northern Interests Trading Company on First of the Sun.
Winds was a member of the Patji expedition. He traveled with the company on their ship to the island of Patji in the Pantheon and stayed in the main fortress that the expedition constructed. While Vathi, one of the leaders of the expedition went to scout a site for a second camp, Winds stayed at the fortress. He and some of the others opened up one of the machines that the Eelakin had gotten from the Ones Above when one of their number died on First of the Sun. They hoped to learn how the machine functioned.
When Vathi and Sixth of the Dusk arrived at the fortress after crossing the island during the night, Vathi told Winds to turn off the machine that they had gotten from the Ones Above. Winds told Vathi that they had not turned on the machine. Vathi believed Winds to be lying to her, but he then explained to her that they had merely opened it.

Wink

Wink is one of Alcatraz Smedry's Mokian advisors during the battle for Tuki Tuki. He advises Alcatraz along with the other two advisors, Dink and Mink, with whom he is not related. 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Wink is tall and thin, with a long neck and spindly arms. Alcatraz likens his appearance to a bottle of soda.
== History ==
During the battle and prior to meeting up with Alcatraz, Wink’s mind was affected by a Librarian disharmony grenade, which confused his brain. He continued to give good advice, but about random and un relevant topics. At Alcatraz’ orders, Mink and the other counselors went to fetch him some backpacks full of explosive teddy bears, six of their fastest warriors, and a pair of very long stilts. They hesitated briefly, but did as asked.

Winnow (Roshar)

Winnow is a highspren bonded to the Skybreaker Ki.
It is uncertain when Winnow and Ki began their bond, but she has sworn four Ideals and achieved the rank of master.
In early 1174, on the evening of the day before the Skybreaker squires hunted the Marabethian convicts, Winnow proclaimed to Ki during her prayers that the highspren were watching Szeth.

Winnow (Skyward)

Winnow is a medical technician in the Defiant Defense Force.
== History ==
Winnow traveled to Evershore with Skyward Flight and Kel to recover Cobb and Gran-Gran. While things were worked out with the Kitsen, Winnow and Kel stayed to work on Cobb and Gran-Gran. They tried to move them out of the medical tent on stretchers, but their condition began to immediately deteriorate the further away from their original position they got. They later reported to FM that their blood pressure had begun to drop, their heart rate becoming irregular. Winnow decided it was better to keep them in their current position, until they knew more. Winnow, along with Kel, stayed with Cobb and Gran-Gran even as the Superiority attacked and the battle raged. They stayed indoors as the battle occurred, and Jorgen warned them to keep an eye on the rising tide levels, which were caused by the arrival of Detritus near Evershore. After the battle was over, Winnow and Kel carried Cobb and Gran-Gran to the transport ship on stretchers, despite Gran-Gran's loud protests that she was able to walk.

Winsting Innate

Lord Winsting Innate is an Allomancer and a member of the Elendel Senate on Scadrial. He is the brother of Replar Innate, the governor of Elendel.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is well dressed, and wears a stiff white shirt, a cravat, and diamond cufflinks. The diamonds are set in wood, presumably to keep the cufflinks Allomantically inert.
He is not scrupulous, and openly sold his senate vote to the highest bidder. He was cynical and materialistic, believing that the historical events around the Final Ascension were "fanciful legends" and that a fear of the mists is "superstitious nonsense". He is a careful person, and his mansion contains a saferoom. He sometimes uses his Rioting abilities even when it is not necessary, and employs a Seeker named Blome to ensure that other people do not use Allomancy around him.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Innate is an Allomancer, a zinc Misting known as a Rioter. He can manipulate people's emotions. He is presumably wealthy, as he owns a well-appointed mansion in Elendel that was his primary residence and he wears expensive clothing. He takes his security very seriously; he employs multiple bodyguards and at least one Allomancer for protection.
He is a painter, and believes that he is getting better, although he is still not very skilled.
He knows several crime lords, and is aware that Edwarn Ladrian uses the alias "Mister Suit".
== History ==
Winsting Innate became a senator when his brother Replar won the governorship. Most people were not aware of his Allomantic abilities. The constabulary knew that he was corrupt, but he was afforded protection by his brother and the general popularity of his family. He had mostly pulled off small-time schemes, and Captain Aradel and others did not think he was worth their time. Replar helped cover up Winsting's crimes, and also may have assigned him to some politically popular tasks to try and boost his reputation. 
===Auction and Murder===
During an auction at his mansion where he attempted to sell his vote to other House leaders and underworld figures, the party was attacked by Paalm. Paalm used Feruchemical steel to move around the ballroom at superhuman speed while firing her weapon, causing people to think that the shots were coming from rival attendees; a large firefight broke out and everyone in the ballroom was killed. Winsting fled to his saferoom. One of his bodyguards, Flog, entered, but it was actually Paalm in disguise. Paalm slit Winsting's throat, then cut out his tongue, symbolically indicating her plan to silence Harmony's supposed lies. She then killed the rest of the guards to cover her tracks.
Winsting's death was reported on in a rather sensationalistic manner by the Elendel broadsheets; the many criminal elements revealed to be present at the party raised concerns about government corruption. Wax, Wayne, and Marasi investigated the murder, setting them on a path that eventually led them to Paalm.

Winterwort

Winterwort is a type of plant native to Roshar. It is used by surgeons as a soporific anesthetic.
Winterwort can be used to prepare a patient for surgery. It is ingestible after being crushed to a powder and mixed with oil, although it has a bitter taste. At one spoonful per ten brickweight of the patient, it will keep a person unconscious for around five hours.
Kaladin and Lirin used winterwort on Sani when they attempted to repair her crushed hand.
== Notes ==
Wiper

Wiper is an Epic that lives in Ildithia and works for Limelight. At first, Wiper did not immediately join Limelight. However, she explains that "those who are quick to give their allegiance are quick to change it." She promises to kill Larcener, but Prof reprimands her, and claims he needs a sample of Larcener's DNA first. Wiper uses her power to short out Megan's illusions when Prof realizes that the Reckoners are in the same room as them.
Wiper is in her early twenties, and wears her blonde hair in a braid. She has the ability to temporarily shut down another Epic's external powers (but not internal ones like defensive or healing powers). As she has no immortality benefits, she is easily killed by David with a simple gunshot.

Wmlak

Wmlak is Rysn's assistant and porter in the Thaylen Gemstone Reserve on Roshar.
== History ==
Just before the Battle of Thaylen Field, Wmlak announced Vstim's arrival at Rysn's office to perform an audit of the vaults. He then assisted Rysn by moving her in her wheelchair around the building. Wmlak did not accompany Rysn into the vault itself. It is not known if he survived the thunderclast attack on the building.
== Notes ==
Wode

The Wode are a group of humans who administrate the States. They use XinWey's Doctrine to govern the Liveborn, and control the programming of the States and all the Machineborn in them.
== Isolationism ==
The Wode follow a policy of isolationism towards the Liveborn. After placing the Liveborn within their Personal State, the Wode only interfere with the State and the Liveborn when necessary, or when XinWey's Doctrine demands.
=== Age of Awareness ===
The Wode never contact a Liveborn until they turn the age of fifty. It is at this age that the Liveborn are presented with the Wode Scroll, the only means of communicating with the Wode. Prior to that, the Liveborn are left to live in their State, ignorant of the true nature of their world.
=== Procreation ===
At some point during a Liveborn's life, the Wode calls upon them to procreate with another Liveborn. This entails the Liveborn pick a partner from a list and meet them in a Communal State. All Liveborn are required to participate at some point in their life unless the Wode decides they can abstain.
=== Programming ===
The Wode sets the programming for all the States and Machineborn. If necessary they can adjust the programming to pressure, and essentially force, Liveborn into doing what they need. It is implied this does not happen often, however, and in fact the Wode even allow Liveborn to hack the programming of their Personal State and the Machineborn that reside within it.
== Administrators ==
As administrators of the States, the Wode perform many jobs for the Liveborn with the intent to enhance their lives. Some of these jobs include acting referees for the game of paintball that occurs on Maltese, pairing Liveborn to their Personal State, and acting as disciplinarians when a Liveborn breaks a precept of XinWey's Doctrine. They also provide new challenges for Liveborn once they've conquered the inherent challenges of their Personal State, and maintain the technology that keeps Liveborn alive for so long.
== Connection with Legion ==
In Legion: Lies of the Beholder, a company named Walters and Ostman Detention Enterprises shows up, which would be initialized as WODE. The company appears to have been founded fairly recently, and engages in activities similar to the WODE in Perfect State, albeit with lower tech. It is implied Perfect State and Legion are, therefore, in the same universe.
== Notes ==
Category:Groups
Wode Scroll

The Wode Scroll is a scroll given to Liveborn when they reach fifty years of age, the Age of Awareness, and is the only means of communication with the Wode. The one given to Kairominas takes the form of the piece of slate. The communication process is very simple; when a message is written onto the Scroll, it gets sent to the Wode, whom can then send a reply that appears on the Scroll.
== Notes ==
Woden

Woden is a deity worshiped by the Weswarans and Hordamen. He is said to be the father of Thunor, the husband of Friag, and the brother of Logna. John West recognizes the name as equivalent to Odin.
The birthmarks of a skop are said to be a sign of being chosen by Woden.
Wodensday is the local equivalent of Wednesday.
==Personality==
Sefawynn says that Woden demands sacrifice, and Ealstan says he rewards blood offerings, but Logna says that this is wrong and Woden only ever cared about victory. According to Logna, Woden hates losing and fears pain and the thought that he will someday die. 
Ealstan says that Woden does not care about being worshipped so long as he is obeyed and feared.
==History==
In response to Friag's death at the battle of Badon,Woden forbade humans to use writing (which had been Friag's invention).
By the time John West arrives, Woden has abandoned the Weswarans in favor of the Hordamen. Ultimately, Woden inspires a major invasion of Hordamen intended to destroy the Weswarans in order to eliminate the "outsiders" from another dimension and to serve as an example to intimidate his other worshippers. When that invasion is defeated, Weswarans begin to see Woden as an enemy god.
==Trivia==
*In real-world mythology and religion, Woden is the Old English equivalent of the Norse Odin. The name is the source of modern English Wednesday ("Woden's day").
== Notes ==
Wooden Soul

The Wooden Soul is an Epic from a remote Punjabi village. She is a puppeteer or animator Epic. Her only known power is to give "life" to marionettes and enable their movement by her mind.
The Wooden Soul died about ten years prior to Dean Knighthawk allying himself with the Reckoners. Knighthawk's control over his mannequin, Manny, was via a motivator using some of the Wooden Soul's DNA. He was astonished that David Charleston recognized the source of the power and was able to name the Wooden Soul.

Words of Founding

The Words of Founding are a set of literary works left by Sazed for the people of the Elendel Basin on Scadrial after he took up the Shards Ruin and Preservation to become Harmony. 
==Significance and Contents==
The Words of Founding are thought of as holy doctrine by Pathians. Even followers of other religions such as Trellism hold the Words in high regard. Some religious sects also consider writings by other Originators as holy canon alongside the Words of Founding, although the Docksithium is almost universally ignored.
The Words of Founding are divided into volumes, at least eighty in total and possibly far more. Because of their length, abridged versions of the Words of Founding are common. They contain a massive amount of information covering everything from religion to city planning documents for Elendel. They contain information that would be otherwise unknown to humans, including an extremely detailed chart of Feruchemical powers and writings about kandra and Kelsier's brief stint as Preservation's Vessel. They also contain hints about electricity and powered flight, as well as the existence of four new metals. Notably, they do not discuss Hemalurgy with the same level of detail as the other Metallic Arts. Spook saw this as a mistake and wrote a book that included more information about Hemalurgy; Harmony did not agree with his actions but could not forbid him from writing the book.
===Known Volumes===
*Beliefs Reborn, a volume that includes details about Larstaism (and likely other religions from Sazed's portfolio) from Classical Scadrial.
*The Historica, containing a history of Scadrial prior to the Catacendre. It details the work that the kandra did hiding the atium from Ruin, as well as general information about kandra and mistwraiths in general. Wax finds the sections on kandra to be boring. It reveals the details of Vin's Ascension. It also tells the story of Kelsier and his true motives for overthrowing the Lord Ruler, namely vengeance, not altruistic heroism as the Survivorists believe.
*The eightieth volume is at least partially written in verse, and includes verses about "Harmony's quest for Truth."
== Trivia ==
* An excerpt from the Words of Founding makes up the epigraphs in the third Mistborn book, The Hero of Ages.
