Unicarn Skirmish

The Unicarn Skirmish is one of the four major DDF battles that helped secure independence for the United Defiant Caverns. It occurred early in the DDF's history and was the first time the DDF used second-generation starfighters in battle. These ships were built in secret in Igneous Cavern, however, it is unknown if they were built specifically for this battle. 
One of the questions on the Flight School exam Spensa takes asks a question which she thinks would be difficult, because the Unicarn Skirmish is less well known than the others.

United Governments

The United Governments is a human government or association of governments on Earth. It has existed since at least 2071, when first contact was made with the tenasi.
When a tenasi diplomatic vessel arrived at Earth to investigate cytonic "squeaks" that came through the Phone Company's early Cyto system, the United Governments military accidentally shot it down with a single missile. The Phone Company stepped in and brokered the Tenasi Agreement, negotiating peace in exchange for being placed above the law. It is unknown if the United Governments military still exists by the time Jason Write decides to reveal faster-than-light travel in 2211, but the United Governments still exists and grants patents.

United Isles of America

The United Isles of America are a coalition of sixty islands. 
== Geography ==
As a whole, the islands are vaguely shaped like the USA, part of Canada and Mexico. A few islands are roughly outlined like the states, as in the case of Idaho or Texas, but most bear no resemblance to their namesakes.
== Infrastructure ==
Aside from streets there were springrails for movement over greater distances. Even different islands are connected with springrail routes. 
== History ==
There's not much known about the ancient history of the United Isles. When the JoSeun conquered Britannia, many refugees, including King Gregory III, fled to the United Isles. 
== Culture ==
Little culture is referenced or explained, but the people of the United Isles seem to be focused and content. There seems to be much class division between the rich and the poor. The people seem to be kept uninformed about what is going on in some of the other islands, most notably Nebrask.
English is the official language of the United Isles, though there seems to be Spanish, French, and Portuguese-dominated islands.
== Religion ==
The main religion is the Church of the Monarch. It is closely associated with Rithmatics because the inception ceremony grants a Rithmatist his or her powers.

United Tradeworkers Union

United Tradeworkers Union is a union in Elendel on Scadrial made up of Line Riveters and Shovelmen.
==History==
The United Tradeworkers Union was in negotiations with the Noble Houses Collective about fair pay and rights of their employees, until Erols Durnsed the Union’s leader announced that he no longer supported the continuation of negotiations. This sparked rumors of secret meeting between Durnsed and the Noble houses. Members of the Union reacted with outrage toward Erols and some members him with violence but were covered by union representatives saying that they were speaking in metaphor.

Unoathed

The Unoathed are a group on Roshar that have formed a close relationship with deadeye spren. After the formation of Retribution and his revocation of Stormlight, they are the only individuals, aside from the Knights Radiant, able to bond a Shardblade and regrow Shardplate. According to Maya, this is a side-effect of the reformation of the Oathpact.
== History ==
The Unoathed were formed when Maya brought dozens of deadeyes and their associated armor spren through Shadesmar to Azimir, where Adolin Kholin, Emperor Yanagawn, and their allies were making a last stand to defend the throne room against Odium's forces. The spren formed Shardblades and Shardplate in the Physical Realm when they arrived; although many of the defenders were untrained in combat, the sheer power of the Shards allowed them to hold until the contest of champions had begun, at which point Azimir was officially free from Odium, according to the terms of the contest.
Afterward, Yanagawn considered all of the Unoathed to be of a sufficiently high rank to speak directly to him, which was a rare privilege in Azish society. Noura disliked the familiarity that they displayed as a result, but it meant that he could have real friends for practically the first time since becoming emperor.
Maya brought thirty-seven deadeyes in total, meaning that the Unoathed would be able to grow their numbers considerably if they desired, but they decided to be deliberate in doing so.
Many years later, on Canticle, a Scadrian scientist used the word "unoathed" in the context of Nomad's allegiance in the cosmere-wide arms race going on at the time, though that may have been a generic usage of the word and not a reference to this specific group.

Unoqua

Scion Unoqua is the religious leader of Yanagawn's court in Azir on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is old and has a full paunch. He has a deep reverence for Yaezir and the religious customs of Azir.
==History==
Unoqua was one of the highest-ranking scions in Azir, possibly the highest. He was referred to as Azir's "religious leader" and was part of Yanagawn's inner circle of advisors, alongside senior viziers such as Noura, Axikk, and Dalksi. Although he was not mentioned by name, it is likely that Unoqua was the older scion who turned Nale away after Gawx was elevated to Prime Aqasix and pardoned Lift. Lift later referred to an important scion in the Bronze Palace that she nicknamed "Daddy Sag-butt"; this also presumably referred to Unoqua.
Unoqua was aboard the ship evacuating Yanagawn from Thaylen City before the Battle of Thaylen Field. Along with Noura and Dalksi, he attempted to counsel Yanagawn against turning back to Thaylen City based on Lift's opinion. He held steadfastly to the notion that Yanagawn had been chosen as Prime by Yaezir and led by divine right, despite Yanagawn's dissent. Unoqua expressed fear and skepticism of the powers of the Knights Radiant and was concerned about the warnings of the Eila Stele.

Unyielding Fidelity

Unyielding Fidelity is an honorspren stronghold in Shadesmar. It is southwest of Celebrant, near where Kharbranth is in the Physical Realm.
When Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, and Azure travel on the honorspren vessel Honor's Path, Shallan suspects the honorspren are taking them to Unyielding Fidelity. However, the ship was actually traveling to the honorspren capital, Lasting Integrity, a city which is also southwest of Celebrant.

Ur

Ur refers to three different things on Roshar:
* Ur (character), a guard at the bar All's Alley in Urithiru.
* The mountains of Ur, a range of mountains in central Roshar.
** Ur also appears to be the name of the specific mountain in this range that was shaped into Urithiru, and is used as a name for the tower itself.
* In the Dawnchant, "ur" means "original".
Ur (character)

Ur is an Unkalaki thug who works for Sullik at All's Alley at Urithiru. He is an enormous man who is nearly seven feet tall. He is strong and capable of manhandling people.
== History ==
Ur and the All's Alley's gang of thugs pursued and killed Ned after he killed both his wife and a barmaid from All's Alley. Ur took him to the edge of Urithiru and threw him from the cliff edge, despite Ned's pleas that he had not committed the second murder. The group did not act against Ned until he killed a staff member of All's Alley, which they were hired to protect. If he had not killed the barmaid, the group had planned to leave any actions against him to Aladar's police force.
After returning from the bathroom at the pub one night, Ur found Veil in his seat and tossed her aside. Veil, in return, drove a knife through both of their hands, after placing her safehand on top of his left hand. The pain from the injury caused Ur to fall out of his seat, allowing Veil to reclaim it as her own. He threatened Veil with violence, however was quietened by Betha. Later, Re-Shephir imitated this altercation with Lunamor.
== Notes ==
Urad

Urad is a darkeyed soldier on Roshar.
He was one of six soldiers that Adolin Kholin chose to join him on the diplomatic mission from Urithiru to Lasting Integrity. He was chosen due to his unflappable personality and his experience in the field, particularly his skills as a hunter and forager. He was presumably a member of the group that departed Lasting Integrity a few weeks after Adolin surrendered to the honorspren.
== Notes ==
Urbene

Urbene was a small village in the Eastern Dominance of the Final Empire on Scadrial. It lies about halfway between Erlac and the Conventical of Seran.
The village consisted of ten large wooden hovels built in a loose circle with a well in the center, and a nobleman's manor a little farther up the valley. The skaa of Urbene were herdsmen. The village itself lay in a quiet hollow amid the rising landscape. It was described as picturesque.
Sazed visited Urbene on his way to Luthadel. He found the village full of corpses of skaa that had died from starvation and dehydration. They were too scared to leave their hovels as the mists were out during the day, and had already killed skaa like Jell who went outside. Only one of them survived because of cannibalism, and this crazed villager explained to Sazed what had happened there.
== Notes ==
Urian

Nan Urian is a Veden Highprince.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is tall and has short black hair. He is described as "prim" and wears a military uniform similar in style to those of the Alethi. Urian uses the Veden honorific "Nan" and is therefore the firstborn in his family, and he seems to be more vocal than his younger brother.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
He has some knowledge of military strategy, and he speaks Alethi.
==History==
Urian and his brother are among the many new Highprinces in Jah Keved that are appointed by King Taravangian after the previous nobility was wiped out during the Veden War of Succession. Urian's predecessor was poisoned. Dalinar first meets Urian during his brief visit to survey the damage in Vedenar.
The brothers attend a war council in the Gallery of Maps in Urithiru with Taravangian and other leaders of Dalinar's coalition. Urian petitions the council to protect a strip of Veden land to the east of the Horneater Peaks that Aladar was ready to cede to the singer army. Urian argues that the land has strategic value since it is fertile and protected from highstorms, and it can be used as a base to recruit Horneater troops. He also says that it would serve as a staging area for further attacks on Jah Keved were it to fall into enemy hands, and that defending the area will give the rest of the nation needed time to recover. Dalinar has previously fought battles in the region, and agrees with Urian's assessment.
Dalinar soon realizes that Thaylen City is actually the likely target of Odium's forces. When he asks if any nations have ships available to head off the enemy fleet, one of the Veden highprinces (presumably Urian) mentions that Taravangian has a number of ships in Vedenar. He cautions that Jah Keved lost hundreds of sailors during the civil war, and may not have enough crew remaining to sail all of the available ships.
== Notes ==
Urv

Urv is a Siln ardent at Jokasha Monastery in Jah Keved on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Urv is young, tall, and gangly. Ellista describes him as obnoxiously loud, but he has shown the ability to remain quiet when he chooses. He enjoys Alethi epics and has read both An Accountability of Virtue and its sequel, surprising Ellista. He appears to have a mischievous streak, intentionally provoking Ellista regarding the book.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Urv follows the Vorin faith. He is a well-read, knowledgeable, and competent scholar, although he is not quite as ingenious as Ellista.
== History ==
After Navani Kholin released information about the Dawnchant, Urv was one of several ardents at Jokasha Monastery who worked on translating Bendthel's collection of Dawnchant works, although he made less progress than Ellista. He had also gotten stuck working on the Covad Fragment, but reviewing Ellista's work helped him realize that not all literature that appeared to be written in Dawnchant had actually originated in that language. Because Dawnchant was the codified written language across Roshar for many centuries, there was a period of time where people continued to use Dawnchant characters to phonetically transcribe other spoken languages, rather than switch to a different writing system.
He offered to lend Ellista the sequel to An Accountability of Virtue in exchange for her help translating a section of Dawnchant for a very demanding unnamed patron. The assignment was likely the translation of the Eila Stele in order to aid with Taravangian's plotting.
== Notes ==
Uscri

Uscri is a character from a tragic Rosharan poem written around seventeen hundred years before 1174.
In the poem, after hearing that her lover had died, she drowned herself in the sea, although in reality he still lived and she had misunderstood the report. In the following centuries, she was used as an example of acting without information, although over time it came to mean stupid. By modern times, it had become a rather obscure literary reference.
In 1174, Taravangian insulted Mrall by calling him Uscritic. The obscurity of the reference caused Adrotagia to realize that Taravangian had intentionally misrepresented his intelligence on that morning's test, so they would not place restrictions on him.

Utaries

Utaries is a planet in the Reaches that is part of the High Empire.
Prior to Varion Crestmar's graduation from the Academy, the planet had rebelled against the empire and was outside of its control. During his re-conquest of the Reaches, Varion prioritized retaking Utaries, as it easily could have rallied other planets to its cause, and successfully captured it early in the campaign.
The planet is the home of the pilot Charisa of Utaries, one of the first rebel commanders to join Varion.

Uvara

The Uvara, also known as the People of the Great Abyss, are a possibly mythical society that lived on uncharted islands in the oceans of Roshar.
==History==
The Uvara are only known from the legend of the Wandersail as told to Kaladin by Hoid. A king named Derethil decided to attempt to sail through a highstorm on the open ocean in an attempt to find the origin of the Voidbringers. The ship was blown out to sea and wrecked on a ring of islands that surrounded a huge whirlpool. Derethil and his crew encountered the native people known as the Uvara, who had long, limber bodies and wore clothing and accessories not found elsewhere on Roshar. The Uvara appeared to be peaceable and friendly, and helped the crew regain their health and rebuild their ship. However, Derethil's crew soon witnessed them violently killing each other if they made any kind of mistake, in fear of displeasing their emperor. The emperor lived in a tower on the largest of the islands, and the Uvara believed that he demanded perfection from his subjects.
Disturbed by the violence, Derethil and his crew raided the tower and discovered that the emperor had actually been dead for years. When the Uvara realized that they alone were responsible for all of the death and violence, their entire society was thrown into chaos and rioting. A single member of the Uvara, Nafti, joined Derethil and his crew to escape the riots and became a crewmember on the Wandersail.
== Historicity ==
The tale of the Wandersail is known in several nations of Roshar, but some regard it only as a myth. Hoid answers cryptically when Kaladin questions the story's authenticity. At the same time, there may be elements of truth to the story.

Vaceslv

Vaceslv is a member of the Kholinar Wall Guard in Alethkar on Roshar. He is a part of Noro's squad, Platoon Seven, Squad Two.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Kaladin describes Vaceslv as a friendly man; Alethi, but with obvious Thaylen heritage. Vaceslv is of the tenth dahn, the lowest rank of lighteyes, and views 'middlers'—lighteyes who are of at least the eighth dahn but not quite highlords—as useless. During a patrol, when Vaceslv's group passes Adolin, who is disguised as a middler, Vaceslv mocks the stereotypical middler desire for fancy clothing.
== Abilities ==
Vaceslv is trained in using a side sword, truncheon, and small round shield while on patrol. He is also trained in the use of a tower shield and pike in a defensive formation. 
== History ==
Vaceslv came to know Kaladin as a fellow soldier in his squad. Vaceslv and another member named Alaward tried multiple times to get Kaladin to play cards with them; Kaladin declined, thinking of his experiences with Sah and the other Voidbringers.
After a raid by the Fused, Vaceslv was noted as having taken a gash to the chest that required assistance from surgeons, but he was able to recover. Noro's squad, likely including Vaceslv, was present when Highmarshal Azure revealed how she supplied food for the army.
Vaceslv followed Kaladin into Kholinar Palace with his squad and fought in the Battle of Kholinar Palace. Most of his squadmates, including Noro and Beard, were killed in the fighting. There were a few survivors, but Vaceslv is not mentioned as being one of them, and may have died in the battle.

Vahnn

Vahnn is a varvax ambassador sent to Evensong. Two weeks before Jason Write arrives at Evensong to retrieve Denise Carlson, he disappears; around the time Jason arrives, a large piece of carapace is found in a burning station and he is presumed dead.
After retrieving Denise and noticing her mannerisms seem more in line with those of a varvax than a human, Jason realizes that someone used cytonics to swap Vahnn's mind with that of Denise, leaving his mind in her body and her mind in his body. Thinking the humans are attempting to infiltrate varvax society to learn cytonics, Jason concludes that something must have gone wrong with the swap, resulting in Vahnn's body being disposed of in the burning station and Denise being left to wander the streets, where she was found by local authorities and checked into a mental health treatment ward. After Edmund tells him about how the varvax treat their discontents, however, he realizes that Vahnn swapped into Denise's body in an attempt to gain access to advanced human technology.
When Jason returns to the Phone Company's Central Operations on Earth, he takes Vahnn—still in Denise's body—with him, where the varvax discontent is questioned by PC operatives.
== Notes ==
Vaiu

Vaiu is an honorspren living in Lasting Integrity on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Vaiu is short with a full square beard and prefers to go around bare-chested, wearing only an old-style skirt a little like an Alethi takama. He carries a winged spear.
== History ==
Vaiu was one of Adolin Kholin's jailers in Lasting Integrity when the honorspren tried Adolin for the Recreance. Along with Alvettaren, he was one of Adolin's primary guards when Adolin walked around outside.
One day when they were escorting Adolin, Vaiu commented on the large number of deadeyes gathered on the shore outside the capital. He explained to Adolin that they had let in as many as they could before having to shut out the rest. He wondered why so many deadeyes were congregating there, postulating that some Connection to the spiritweb of Roshar drew them to the keep to see justice done. After reminding Adolin that he had chosen to face his trial, Vaiu told him that he had better go study with the inkspren Blended for his defense.
== Notes ==
Val

The Val is a class of starfighter used by scout teams in the DDF. 
Val-class fighters are not heavily armed, as they are designed for scanner avoidance and speed. They have a single 131 Stewart destructor; larger ships carry as many as four destructors, often using the more powerful 138 Stewart model. The scanning sensors on the Val-class have a longer range and are more sensitive to detail than those used on other DDF ships.
The members of Ranger Flight fly Val-class ships.
== Notes ==
Valam princedom

Valam princedom was a Veden princedom on Roshar. After the fall of House Valam, it is under the control of Taravangian.
==Geography and Ecology ==
House Davar's estates are located in the former Valam princedom. They are described as "backcountry" and it takes at least a half a day to travel across them. Revilar's lands border those of House Davar. The size of the princedom and its location within Jah Keved are not known, but Shallan Davar describes her family's lands as "nowhere near" the capital of Vedenar on the southern coast.
The area appears to have a temperate climate, with distinct seasons. Flora and fauna are typical of eastern Roshar, including rockbuds, shalebark, and jella trees. Many species of cremlings also flourish. Domesticated animals include axehounds and horses.
==Economy==
The princedom's lands are largely rural and contain a notable amount of arable land. Agriculture appears to drive the economy, including commodities such as breachtree cotton and shum as well as textiles made from those materials. 
==History==
The ruling family of the princedom was House Valam, led by Highprince Valam. There were ten prominent lighteyed landowners who directly served Valam, including Lin Davar and Revilar. Valam used his illegitimate son Redin as an enforcer. Valam had other children (including Sudi Valam), but they all preceded him in death. 
The princedom had sufficient power to emerge victorious in the bloody Veden civil war of succession in . This victory was influenced by Taravangian and the Diagram, who had Szeth assassinate the other six highprinces who were vying for the throne. Valam became king of Jah Keved and quickly recognized that Taravangian had contrived this outcome. However, due to his severe illness and lack of heirs, he turned the kingdom over to Taravangian anyway. Valam then instructed Redin to kill him, presumably dissolving the Valam princedom.
==Politics==
The landowners who served Valam effectively acted as autonomous rulers of their lands. The highprince lived in Vedenar and did not regularly visit many areas of the princedom.

Valath

Valath is a city in Jah Keved on Roshar. It is located midway up the leeward side of the Horneater Peaks.
Possibly part of the Valam princedom, Valath is the location of the Holy Enclave. The Holy Enclave has a store of tomes and scrolls that nearly rivals the Palanaeum's collection, and it is the home to curates which wear distinguishing blue robes and carry ornate staves bound with gemstones.
== History ==
Lin Davar sent Rin, one of his guards, to Valath to kill Helaran. Helaran had left a contact in Valath so that Balat could get in touch with him; Shallan encouraged her brother to take Malise Gevelmar and Eylita Tavinar with him and join Helaran. Years later when she reached the Shattered Plains, Shallan paid to send a message and a spanreed to her brothers via Valath.
The curates from the Holy Enclave traveled to Vedenar in order to excommunicate Dalinar Kholin during his tour of the city on behalf of the coalition of monarchs.
