Valda Mendez

Valda Mendez is a National Assembly Leader (NAL), and a former Defiant Defense Force (DDF) pilot. She's an experienced cargo pilot, having served in the DDF for sixteen years.
She's the mother of Arturo, and her family lives in the deep caverns. The Mendezes owns three private fighters that are used as escorts during trading operations. These ships are not accessible to the DDF during times of need as they are primarily reserved to evacuate the Mendez family if they are in danger. They have a private radio frequency, 1250, as well as a private radio that is able to unscramble the pilot frequencies.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Valda is a petite woman with tan skin. She's highly critical of Ironsides' leadership of the DDF; at the same time, she seems unwilling to acknowledge her and her fellow NALs part in crippling the fleet's capacity. 
== History == 
During her younger years Valda joined the DDF, becoming a pilot and flying. At one point, she was in the same squadron as Ironsides. She eventually retired after sixteen years of service.
Years later, Valda had risen to become a National Assembly Leader. While she held her post, her son, Arturo, joined the DDF with the intention of becoming a pilot. Partway through his training, after he was almost shot down during a flight, Valda pulled strings to have Arturo removed from flight school. She shows little regret for it, despite his skill as a pilot and the asset he would be to the DDF.

Valentine

Valentine, often called Val, was the broody leader of the Reckoners team based in Babilar. She worked with Exel, Sam, and Mizzy on many missions to kill Epics.
==Appearance and Personality==
She is tall, with angular features. She is in her early thirties. She is Hispanic and has black hair, with a lock in the front dyed purple.
== History ==
David mentioned that she once killed an Epic by the name of Puños de Fuego using the same tank he'd thrown at her.
When David arrived at the outskirts of Babilar with Tia and Prof, he meets Val in one of the Reckoner's hideout. She is immediately described as gloomy and suspicious.
She, along with Exel, was crushed to death by Jonathan Phaedrus' forcefields.
== Notes ==
Valkyrie Flight

Valkyrie Flight is a part of the DDF. The Flight participates in the Second Battle of Alta and provides cover to try and drive the Krell away from the falling shipyard. The flightleader of Valkyrie Flight died during the battle and the remaining flight members were absorbed immediately into a different Flight.
When the Superiority sent their battleship forward to begin bombarding Detritus, Valkyrie Flight was one of the flights sent up to fight off the Krell so that FM could disable the cannon. Valkyrie Flight and Victory Flight preformed the task of clearing a pathway to the battleship, letting Skyward Flight follow in their wake. When FM began to shoot at the cannon, Valkyrie Flight and Victory Flight nipped at the Krell’s heels, distracting them from getting to FM. Eventually there were too many Krell, and FM had to retreat. When the battleship began firing, Valkyrie Flight retreated back to Platform Prime with the other flights on Cobb’s orders.

Valla

The Valla were a religious sect from Classical Scadrial.
== History ==
It is one of many historical religions that Sazed discusses with Kelsier. The Vallan religion is notable for being the longest to survive after the rise of the Final Empire and the Lord Ruler's persecution of religions other than his own, enduring even after all of its leaders were slaughtered. After a meeting with his crew, Kelsier asks Sazed about the Valla, claiming that he wants a reminder of their perseverance. However, his actual motive was to confirm that martyrs can galvanize people's resolve, foreshadowing his own death and the rise of the Church of the Survivor.

Valley

The Valley is the home of the Nightwatcher on Roshar.
==Surrounding==
The Valley is located in the mountains of Ur, near Urithiru itself. The area nearby is devoid of rockbuds, and the ground is covered in wrinkles about two or three inches deep. On the stormward side, the wrinkles are covered in lichen and on the leeward side, they are covered in flattened grass. The trees nearby are scrawny and hunched over with thistle leaves. The nearby mountainsides are bare and few people live in the surrounding area. Little black birds the size of a man's fist can be found in the area, although they don't often venture on that particular side of the mountains between Emul and Hexi. The ground is covered in fans of weeds that tremble and rattle when touched. It is unknown if this terrain is common in Hexi or unique to the surrounding area.
==Appearance==
Foothills shield the area from highstorms, resulting in an explosion of plant life. The plant life is so dense it seems impassible, but there are some trails leading through the area. The wind blowing out of the valley is hot and muggy, the air inside musty and damp. It is filled with the sounds of vines rustling and tiny animals scampering among them. Life is so abundant that it seems as if you can hear the plants growing. It is filled with low hanging vines, and the ground is covered in rotten wood. It is dark enough that those inside can barely see. The trees are covered in hanging moss and their bark is wet.
==Magic==
The Valley is the home of Cultivation and her spren, the Nightwatcher. The Nightwatcher is a powerful spren who is connected to the Old Magic. Many people, even Alethi nobility, journey to the Valley to seek a boon from the Nightwatcher. As a result of Cultivation's presence, the Thrill cannot be felt in the Valley, or at least Dalinar is unable to feel it when he visits, despite the fact that he feels he is undergoing a challenge worthy of the Thrill. According to Felt, upon entering the Valley, one is completely in the power of the Nightwatcher. When Dalinar visits, he has a vision of himself killing Elhokar, becoming king, and conquering the world. It is unknown if this was a vision due to Dalinar's unstable emotional and mental state at the moment or the magic of the Valley.

Valley of Truth

The Valley of Truth is located in Shinovar on Roshar.
The Valley of Truth lies near a coastline. It has muggy weather and thick Shin grass, and shepherds watch their flocks near white cliffsides. The area also has plains with wild horses, as well as simple earthen buildings.
The Valley was the home of Szeth and his family. Around the year when Szeth was twenty-eight years old, he made claims that the Voidbringers would return. His people refused to believe him; he was deemed Truthless and banished not only from the Valley, but all of Shinovar. He would eventually be vindicated during the True Desolation.

Valor

Valor is a Shard of Adonalsium that has not been Splintered and whose original Vessel is the dragon god Medelantorius.
== History==
Like all Shards, Valor was created at the Shattering of Adonalsium, and picked up by Medelantorius. It is not known what Valor did directly after her Ascension, or where she settled, if she settled at all.
Tanavast searched for her during the conflict with Odium 3,000 years after the Shattering, but could not find her. He did not believe that she had been killed, however, as he was confident he would have felt her death.
As Koravellium Avast may be the only dragon Vessel by the time of the True Desolation, Valor may be one of the Shards that has changed Vessels.
Valor has had dealings with Endowment, and at some point reached out to receive her aid in an unknown matter. Endowment had acquiesced without going to Valor's location in person, thus maintaining the Shards' agreement to isolation.
Some time around the True Desolation, on the advice of Hoid, Harmony reached out to Valor about the threat posed by Odium; their conversation left him with the impression that she is reasonable. He later encouraged Hoid to try approaching her again, as she felt it had been too long since their last conversation. Despite this, Hoid was apparently unable to locate Valor himself, and when he asked Endowment for information on her location, Endowment refused to help, claiming that Valor had no interest in speaking to Hoid again. In Endowment's view, both she and Valor are the only Shards who still maintain a degree of isolation.
After his Ascension to Odium, Taravangian was also unable to locate Valor, finding that she and one other Shard had somehow completely vanished from interaction with the other Shards.
Following his work assisting Waxillium Ladrian, Hoid intended to find Valor in order to assist the people of Roshar to resist Retribution.

Valtroux

Valtroux, also referred to as Valtroux City, was a city in the Central Dominance of the Final Empire on Scadrial.
==Geography==
It was at least two days riding to the north from Luthadel, and a three days' march from Holstep and the Arguois caverns.
== History ==
After Yeden was put in charge of the skaa rebellion's small army, he commanded them to attack Holstep, hoping that his men would gain some experience in a relatively easy fight. The skaa force numbered seven thousand, while Holstep's garrison only had about a thousand soldiers. About two thousand of the skaa (including Demoux) did not participate in the attack, believing that Yeden was acting rashly and would expose the army's position. Yeden and the other five thousand rebels defeated the Holstep Garrison, although the fight proved more difficult than Yeden had anticipated. During the battle, the Holstep Garrison managed to send a messenger to nearby Valtroux City. The Valtroux Garrison numbered five thousand, and it immediately marched to Holstep.
News of the Holstep battle reached Luthadel, and Kelsier and his crew learned of Yeden's foolhardy actions. Kelsier set out with Vin to help the skaa, but by the time they arrived, the Valtroux Garrison had slaughtered the rebels. The Valtroux force was on order to take no prisoners, and put the heads of Yeden and several other officers on spears next to a road. The only survivors were Demoux's group, who had concealed themselves.
The skaa force was better prepared than other rebellions in the past and managed to put up a decent fight, but they were not yet ready to face a fully trained garrison of equal size, particularly since the battle with the Holstep Garrison had just concluded. The brutality of the Valtroux Garrison was presumably meant to quash the skaa rebellion, as the Lord Ruler was aware of the situation and had massacred rebellious skaa in previous incidents such as Tougier. Kelsier blamed himself for the defeat, and believed that his own enthusiasm and the promise of help from Allomancers were the source of Yeden's overconfidence.
Shortly after the battle, the Luthadel Garrison arrived to relieve the Valtroux troops and continued to search for remaining skaa rebels who fled the battle.

Vamah princedom

Vamah princedom is one of ten Alethi princedoms of Alethkar. Vamah's house colors are brown & grey.
== Geography ==
Vamah princedom is located in the North-West portion of the country and boarders Jah Keved to the West, Sadeas princedom to the North, Aladar princedom to the North-East and Ruthar princedom to the East and the South. The Windrunner River runs along the entirety of the eastern boarder and marks the boundary with Aladar princedom and part of Ruthar princedom.

Ryshadium are rarely found in the eastern pricedoms, however, there are occasional sightings. 
=== Locations ===
* Revolar
* Farcoast
==History==
Vamah princedom was one of the ten princedoms reunited into a single country under Gavilar Kholin. Its highprince resisted unification for most of Gavilar's campaign, though by the time direct conflict occurred, the region was close to flipping its allegiances. The Kholin defeat of Highlord Kalanor's army, marked the turning point and subsequent end of the war for unification.
After the coming of the Everstorm, the city of Revolar is conquered by the singers and parshmen throughout the nearby regions begin to converge on the city. Both Kaladin and Moash pass through Revolar (though at different points in time) after it has been claimed by the singers. Before his arrival in Revolar, Kaladin and a group of parshmen shelter from a Highstorm at a waystop within the lands of Highlord Cadilar. 
== Politics ==
=== Government ===
Loradar Vamah succeeded Kalanor as Highprince in the year 1145 after Kalanor was killed by Dalinar Kholin. This transfer of power was engineered by Gavilar Kholin during his campaign to unify Alethkar, as Loradar was sympathetic to his cause and would swear fealty to House Kholin. Highlord Paladar, a relative of the Highprince, is named as regent when the Alethi declare war on the Parshendi and march to the Shattered Plains.
=== Military === 
After the death of King Gavilar Kholin in 1167, Highprince Vamah calls to arms the people of his kingdom to fulfil the Vengeance Pact. In Farcoast there is a high response to the call for enlistment, with every one in two men of age joining the army.

Vanrial

The Vanrial were an order of artists on Roshar who lived on the slopes of the Silent Mount in Jah Keved. For centuries they sang a song in a language whose meaning had been lost. The Vanrial claimed that the song had been given to them by the Heralds. Some evidence suggested that the lyrics themselves were in the Dawnchant.
There is also a theory that was known as the Vanrial Hypothesis; what it postulates is unknown.
The Vanrial were also responsible for preserving the full text of The Way of Kings from earlier times in Roshar's history when many other classical works were lost.

Vapor

Vapor is a figment who lives on Starsight and who works for Cuna. Vapor may or may not be her actual name, but she requests that her flight call her that.
== History ==
Vapor was one of the many pilots who participated in a practice battle organized by Winzik to weed out less suitable pilots. She inhabited a small Krell drone during the battle. When Morrimur’s fighter was incapacitated and Spensa sent out a distress call, Vapor agreed to help as long as Spensa didn’t shoot her. At Spensa’s request, Vapor defended Morrimur from enemy ships as Spensa worked to remove a chunk of debris from Morrimur’s booster.
After the test battle, Vapor was assigned to Spensa, Brade, and Hesho’s flight, and introduced herself to them.
== Notes ==
VarSell

VarSell is a kandra of the Fifth Generation on Scadrial during the Final Empire.
==Appearance and Personality==
VarSell is seen wearing a quartz True Body in the Kandra Homeland. He keeps his skin translucent so that the sparkling bones are visible. He generally respects kandra traditions, including the societal structure that places value on seniority. He is hostile towards TenSoon and exhibits a temper, but is able to restrain himself.
==Attributes and Abilities==
VarSell has the typical shapeshifting abilities of a kandra. In addition, he has iron Hemalurgic spikes known as the Blessing of Potency that grant him additional strength; he is also relatively large for a kandra. He is not as skilled as TenSoon in crafting a body from bones that he has not personally digested. His quartz True Body is worn for beauty, rather than practicality.
==History==
VarSell was one of TenSoon's captors when TenSoon was imprisoned prior to his Judgement. He was surprised at both the accuracy and speed of TenSoon's shapeshifting abilities after providing him with a random set of bones. When TenSoon insulted the Second Generation over how long it took them to form bodies, VarSell nearly slapped him, which TenSoon found ironic since he was also VarSell's superior. He and several other guards with the Blessing of Potency then walked behind TenSoon while escorting him to his Judgement; to avoid a show, they stuck to back corridors.
On the orders of the Second Generation, VarSell returned TenSoon's wolfhound bones to at the end of the monthlong period between his Judgement and sentencing. He informed TenSoon that KanPaar and the others of the Second Generation intended to break his bones as part of his punishment and that they did not want to waste human bones. He also laughed at the notion of a kandra wearing animal bones, and said that being forced to wear them will help the other kandra understand that TenSoon was not a "true" kandra.
== Notes ==
Varanis

Varanis is a listener lieutenant on the Shattered Plains of Roshar. He serves under Eshonai during the War of Reckoning.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Varanis seems to be one of Eshonai's most trusted lieutenants. He is a disciplined, loyal soldier who typically wears warform. After the coming of the Everstorm, he was one of the listeners selected by Eshonai to wear stormform.
==History==
Near the end of the War of Reckoning, Varanis was one of the soldiers tasked with creating paintings at the Hall of Art in Stormseat in an attempt to attract creationspren and perhaps learn how to take artform. Eshonai chuckled at his game attempts to paint flowers while wearing warform.
After the coming of the Everstorm and Eshonai's transformation into stormform, she selected a very limited group of listeners to transform in the next storm, including Venli, other scholars, and two hundred low-level soldiers. She intentionally excluded officers and soldiers from her own division, who might have questioned her. However, Varanis was among the listeners that were scheduled for transformation in the next Everstorm. When Thude and a group of dissenters (including Jaxlim) fled into the chasms, Varanis reported their escape to Eshonai, angering her. 
Varanis presumably took on stormform alongside thousands of other listeners prior to the Battle of Narak and participated in the battle. Rlain was acquainted with Varanis and later mourned losing him along with Eshonai, Thude, and the other residents of Narak. 
== Notes ==
Vardinar

Vardinar is a member of the Kholinar Wall Guard in Alethkar on Roshar. 
Vardinar came to know Kaladin as a fellow soldier when Kaladin was investigating Azure's activities during the Siege of Kholinar. Vardinar is not mentioned as part of Noro's squad, but he may have been in the same platoon, since Kaladin knows him by name.
Kaladin tasked him with taking command of two squads from the Eighth Platoon to defend against the Fused during the Battle of Kholinar Palace. Vardinar led the squads to one of the palace's towers to try and use archery against the Fused. Kaladin soon noted that the Fused must have "swept" the tower using Lashings, as injured or dead men were falling to the wall below. It is not known if Vardinar was among the few survivors of the battle.

Varlance

Varlance is the governor of Elendel after Claude Aradel. Adawathwyn served as his vice governor for a while, but Varlance fired her following the events of the Set's attack on Elendel.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Govenor Varlance is a military man who wears a cravat and regularly applies ghostly white powder to his face, as is the fashion as of the year . He is comes across to some as a haughty individual who often is preoccupied with his war medals and is viewed by some as being a pushover. He also has a stereotypical view of constables as gruff people. For parts of his term as Govenor of Elendel, he leans heavily on his Vice Govenor Adawathwyn, and others. He initially appears to be somewhat uninformed of what the committees and his own authority are capable of. However; he soon becomes quite decisive in delegating tasks and responsibilities to those who are capable, as shown when he fires Adawathwyn from the position of Vice Governor, and makes Steris the city's Disaster Preparation Officer.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Prior to his term as Governor of Elendel, Varlance was a military man. He was awarded several medals for his service, though it was not widely known what the medals were awarded for, or how he got them.
=== As Governor of Elendel ===
During his term as Governor, Varlance spent the majority of his time focusing on publicity, park re-dedications and sitting in on Senate meetings. He was comfortable allowing Adawathwyn be the primary voice of his office. However, as Elendel is threatened by the Set with a bomb from Bilming, he begins to take advice from Steris on how to effectively evacuate the city and grants her the authority needed to keep the city safe from the impending explosion and tsunami.. Varlance repeatedly asked constable-general Reddi for evidence that the Outer Cities were smuggling weapons. After the attack on Elendel is resolved and rebuilding begins, Varlance fires Adawathwyn, and subsequently hires Steris as Elendels Disaster Preparation Officer.
== Notes ==
Varnali

Varnali is a listener elder on Roshar and a member of the Five, the listener ruling council.
== History ==
In the days when Venli was first seeking new forms for the listeners, Varnali sat on the council with Gangnah, Klade, and two others. They heard out both Eshonai's argument to unify the listeners and Venli's petition to try to adopt warform from the painspren she had trapped in a topaz. Despite Varnali's feeling that it was a dangerous form, they also thought it would be useful.
Varnali came to Kholinar with other elders and listeners to attend the signing of a treaty with the Alethi and the accompanying feast. After the listeners arrived, the Alethi king Gavilar Kholin gave Eshonai a black sphere and told her that the Five should know of his intent to release their gods. Eshonai reported back to Varnali and the rest of the Five; they were shocked and quickly came to the agreement that Gavilar must be killed in order to prevent his plan. The council ordered their newly purchased Truthless, Szeth, to assassinate the king. Varnali and the other members of the Five were visibly nervous during the feast celebrating the treaty.
Varnali, Gangnah, and Klade remained behind in the wake of Gavilar's death while their people escaped. The three listeners went to Gavilar's rooms and spoke to Brightlady Jasnah Kholin, taking full responsibility for Gavilar's death, but they offered no explanation beyond the fact that they were attempting to avoid the return of their gods. They were hanged for their crime, and the War of Reckoning began.
