Yake

Yake is a member of Bridge Four on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
Yake is described as stout with thick arms, and is presumably darkeyed.
Yake is reliable, and is quick to follow orders. He does not seem superstitious, as he dismisses Maps's Death Rattle as "just dying delirium". He initially seems introverted, but later opens up and often teases his fellow bridgemen.
==Powers and Abilities==
Yake is trained in the use of the spear, and received some special training regarding Shardblades.
He became a Radiant Windrunner squire to Kaladin, gaining the ability to breathe in Stormlight and heal wounds, along with limited Surgebinding abilities when Kaladin was nearby. Yake presumably swears at least the Second Ideal of the Windrunners at some point; by all of the original Bridge Four members have reached that level or higher, except Rlain and Dabbid.
==History==
Yake was already in the Sadeas bridge crews when Kaladin arrived to the Shattered Plains in . The reason he was a bridgeman is unknown. He participated in the first bridge run actively led by Kaladin, and was among the last to arrive for duty, along with Dunny and Malop. After Gaz put Bridge Four on chasm duty, Yake took notice of the growing camaraderie among the group but was reluctant to join their conversations. Weeks later, he was hit in the arm by an enemy arrow during a bridge run, leaving Bridge Four with only twenty-eight capable members. 
When Kaladin was training Bridge Four how to fight with the spear, Yake and Hobber struggled with their thrusts; Kaladin asked Moash to work with them.
Yake, Moash, and Teft were selected by Kaladin to train with Zahel and Ivis, learning how to deal with Shardblades and use stances. Zahel chided Yake for picking up one of his colored stones. Yake briefly wielded a Blade, and was awestruck by it. He also practiced dodging blows from a Blade. He found Ivis attractive even though she was lighteyed, unlike Kaladin.
After becoming one of Kaladin's squires, he greeted Rlain during a training session and suggested that he should educate the new recruits in how to hold a spear. He and Eth asked Rlain about the Fused attacking caravans, making the common error of lumping the listeners in with other singers.
==Trivia==
*Yake is a cameo for an unknown friend or family member of Brandon's.

Yancey Yaceczko

Yancey Yaceczko is a member of the Elendel Senate on Scadrial. He is described as good-natured and patient.
When Waxillium Ladrian, a fellow senator, finishes his speech against the Elendel Supremacy Bill, he notes Yancey as one of the senators who'd actually been listening. Yancey then gives positive remarks to Wax, appreciating the show he put on.

Yarda

Yarda is the general of the Idrian armies. He is a burly man and had a thick beard. He is also an old friend of King Dedelin. Dedelin referred to him as "a harsh man born of harsh winters," but also as good of a man as Dedelin had ever known. Yarda would not hesitate to send one soldier to die if it meant that the rest of the army was in a better position to attack. Conferences with Yarda and Dedelin usually lasted hours.
Parlin is Yarda's son. Dedelin often wished Parlin could marry his daughter, Vivenna, but this was not possible, as Dedelin had made a treaty with Hallandren to send his daughter on Vivenna's twenty-second birthday.
== Idrian Military Outlook and the Treaty ==
Yarda and Dedelin could see no long term solution against Hallandren. Every year more voices in Hallandren called for an assault on what they called "rebel Idrians." Yarda said that Idris's northern passes were a target too good for Hallandren to pass up. Additionally, with Hallandren and Idris's split following the Manywar, Hallandren wanted a royal daughter to reintroduce the traditional royal bloodline into the Hallandren monarchy.
Dedelin had hoped that Vahr and his Pahn Kahl soldiers would draw Hallandren's attention away from Idris, but Vahr was eventually captured, and had only served to make Hallandren more focused on its enemies.
Idris was not ready for war. Yarda was aware that Hallandren's army consisted of forty thousand Lifeless. The general said that the Idrian troops had not recovered from Vendis raids in the previous fall, and fires in the granary in the current winter made matters even worse. Yarda insisted that Idris's best defense against Hallandren was the snow, and that the war could not be fought on Hallandren's terms. 
Instead, Yarda relied on the treaty with Hallandren. Yarda knew that sending Vivenna would be hard for Dedelin, but it would be an important delaying tactic. Yarda tried to persuade Dedelin to go through with the treaty, suggesting that Hallandren might not harm Vivenna if they sent her. Yarda did not believe that, however.
Yarda knew that if they could delay long enough, the Idrian snows would be on their side. He was convinced he could bring the nation of Tedradel to Idris's aid, as they hated Hallandren since the Manywar. Yarda also wanted to try and rile up Vahr's rebel faction in Hallandren. At the very least, it would delay war and Idris would have more time to gather supplies. Dedelin disagreed, thinking that giving them someone of royal blood would give them an even stronger claim on the Idrian highlands. Yarda countered that maybe Hallandren would wait for an heir to be born before their army came.
Dedelin decided to not send Vivenna, but instead send Siri to placate Hallandren. He knew sending the wrong daughter would anger Hallandren, but at least they would not immediately attack.
Vivenna knew that Yarda would be better suited to rule during wartime than Vivenna, which made her feel like she was useless when Dedelin did not send her to Hallandren.

Yazad (Sel)

Yazad was the forty-eighth Emperor of the Rose Empire on Sel.
Near the end of his reign, he grew weak with sickness. After his death, Ashravan succeeded him as the emperor.
== Trivia ==
* Yazad may be named after the Zoroastrian concept of yazata (Avestan: 𐬫𐬀𐬰𐬀𐬙𐬀), which is known as yazad (𐭩𐭦𐭲𐭩‎) in Middle Persian; Brandon has noted that he was influenced by ancient Zoroastrian words for Rose Empire names. Yazata is a word with various uses, but it is most often used to refer to divine beings that are worthy of worship.

Yeddaw

Yeddaw is a city in Tashikk on Roshar.
== Layout ==
Yeddaw's shape and appearance is very unusual because it is composed of hundreds of trenches cut into the ground by hired Shardblades, the Imperial Shardblades of Azir. All inhabitants live inside of the trenches, but farming is done above the city in the spaces between trenches. These trenches have varying widths and make a spiral towards the center of the city, which has a large moundlike building that rises over the surface of the ground, called the Grand Indicium. All of the trenches are cut so that water drains out of the city during highstorms, with the Grand Indicium being the highest central point from which the rest of the city slopes downward.
The city has many different sectors cut into it, the one most known currently is the immigrant quarter. The immigrant quarter is a slum-like area of the city where the poor live, and it is implied that the area surrounding it has lower property values by proximity. Many of the homes in this sector are wooden and raised on stilts to avoid the runoff during storms.
The inhabitants of the city are known for trading in information as a form of currency.
== History ==
Yeddaw is a relatively new city, having been created only 100 years prior to the Everstorm.
Around the time of the Everstorm, Lift visits Yeddaw whilst following Nale.
== Politics ==
The city is locally controlled by a prince. While not much is known currently, the prince has enough authority to issue special operatives and empower the local Skybreakers to react to crimes however they see fit, as well as declare a state of emergency immediately followed by all inhabitants. He was also capable of turning out the Parshman slaves into the coming Everstorm.
== Culture ==
Yeddaw is known for pancakes that are eaten during the Weeping. The pancakes are called "Sun Day" cakes for unknown reasons, and they are eaten everywhere in the city, from shanties in alleyways to the Grand Indicium. There are said to be ten varieties of pancakes, although one of them is not physically made but is simply thought about in dedication to Tashi.
When Lift visits Yeddaw, she tries to eat all of the varieties of pancakes in the city. She identifies them as follows:
# Tuk-cake, a tasty pancake eaten for prosperity in the year to come
# a salty pancake with chopped-up vegetables
# a sweet-tasting pancake
# an airy, fluffy pancake served with a dipping sauce
# a dense pancake with salty, sticky paste in the center
# a pancake covered in small, crunchy seeds
# a pancake with sugar in the center (Lift's favorite)
# an unknown relatively tasty pancake
# a pancake with a thick, mealy texture

Yenev

Highprince Yenev is a former highprince of Alethkar prior to the Kholin unification of the nation. He resisted King Gavilar Kholin's conquest and was killed in a duel by Highprince Torol Sadeas.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Nothing is known of Yenev's appearance, and little is known of his personality. He is a powerful and stubborn man, unwilling to accept Gavilar's rule, even after the man had been crowned king. It seems though that he does not have enough political acumen to avoid the trap he was led into by Sadeas.
== History ==
=== Unification of Alethkar ===
Around the year 1155, Yenev was one of the most powerful of the highprinces in the decentralized kingdom of Alethkar. When Highprince Gavilar Kholin and Dalinar Kholin attempted to unify the nation of Alethkar, Yenev refused to accept the reformation of the nation. Even after Gavilar had been crowned king, Yenev still challenged his authority and refused to accept his place in the newly founded kingdom. 
=== Downfall and Death ===
Highprince Sadeas hatched a plan that he presented to Gavilar. During a tournament, he would win a duel with another man so spectacularly that Gavilar could grant him the King's Boon, a gift from the king to those who please him. Sadeas could then use his boon to invoke the Right of Challenge, and challenge Yenev to a duel to the death. King Gavilar agreed with the plan, and ordered Sadeas to carry it out.
Sadeas's scheme went exactly according to plan. His first duel with an unimportant opponent worked perfectly; he defeated his opponent in an incredible duel whose stakes Sadeas raised throughout the fight, wagering spheres and lands upon the outcome. Gavilar granted Sadeas the King's boon, and Yenev was forced to enter the dueling arena to fight Sadeas. Yenev fought Sadeas, but he was defeated and killed in the duel.
=== Legacy ===
Yenev's death opened up an incredible political opportunity for King Gavilar, allowing one of his allies, Aladar to take control of the princedom.
Even though Yenev was killed, the memory of his dramatic death remains fresh, particularly in the minds of the other highprinces. Mentions of Yenev and his downfall terrify them, and even the most recalcitrant highprinces, such as Aladar, react with shock and outrage when he is brought up and become more amenable to the commands of the king. Yenev's defeat was recorded in a variety of important histories, such as one by Brightness Ialai Sadeas and in Jasnah Kholin's biography of her father.
In the year 1173, when Dalinar was looking for a way to defeat and discredit his political opponent, Sadeas, Brightlady Shallan Davar suggested a plan based on the duel Sadeas himself fought with Yenev. She planned to have Adolin Kholin duel Relis Ruthar and one other Shardbearer, defeat them brilliantly and be granted an opportunity to fight Sadeas via the King's Boon. This plan would have worked, had Kaladin not requested the opportunity to fight Highlord Meridas Amaram, sending the proceedings into disarray and allowing Sadeas wriggle out of their trap and set the date of the fight to be a year away.

Yeong-Gwang

The Yeong-Gwang was a ship in the old fleet which carried humanity to Detritus.
The residents and descendants are known as Yeongian, and are mostly ethnically Chinese or Korean.
After landing, they formed a clan and used their hydroponics knowledge to become underground farmers in a cavern close to Igneous. The food grown by this clan is of high value and is only available to those who have multiple achievement or industry merits. Bim is from that clan.
== Notes ==
Yestal

Lord Yestal is a noble in Luthadel on Scadrial.
He regularly attended balls held by the nobility in Luthadel. He initially welcomed Valette Renoux, and danced with her on at least one occasion.
He was among the nobles that suddenly became cold towards Valette during a ball at Keep Venture, ignoring her when she approached his group before excusing himself and Triss for their meal. Valette suspected that the change in attitude may have been related to her confrontation with Shan Elariel. However, Sazed pointed out that the ball was likely to be the last one for a long while, and nobles such as Yestal did not want to waste time politicking with neutral parties such as Valette.
== Notes ==
Yezier

Yezier is a landlocked princedom in southwestern Roshar and one of the member states of the Azish Empire. It's ruled by a princess.
== Etymology ==
Yezier might be derived from Yaezir, the name used for Jezrien across Makabak.
== Geography ==
Yezier lays in the western part of the geographical region known as Makabak, in the south-west of Roshar. It's bordered by Desh to the North, Azir to the East, and Tashikk and Liafor to the South. Its western border sits on an unnamed river, which it shares with Alm, while in north-east, it reaches the Misted Mountains separating it from Shinovar. It claims about 396 thousand square kilometers of land, making it the fifth largest state in the Azish Empire, and the seventeenth largest country on Roshar as a whole.
Like most Makabaki states, Yezier appears to be rather dry and sparsely-populated. Other than its border with Alm, there are no major rivers there, and no settlements worth noting.
== History ==
During the Silver Kingdoms era, Yezier was part of Makabakam. It's unknown when they split off. Eventually, they joined a Makabaki coalition under the leadership of the Prime Aqasix, becoming a client state to the Azish Empire.
Following the Everstorm, Dalinar Kholin sought to persuade them to join his coalition, hoping that they would help convince other states in the region. While he managed to speak with their princess, she demured, awaiting the decision of the Prime Aqasix. After the Azish agreed to join, Yezier followed suit, with the princess herself coming to Urithiru.
Shortly before the Battle of Thaylen Field, the Azish withdrew from the coalition; however, Yezier remained, and the princess sought to tie herself and her country closer to Alethkar. This might've been partially motivated by Iri defecting to Odium, as Yezier was worried about being invaded by them.
== Politics and Culture ==
Yezier is a member of the Azish Empire, and as such subject to the rule of the Prime Aqasix. However, the country has rulers of its own - currently, an unnamed princess. Recently, she began courting Halam Khal, one of House Kholin's highlords, although she cannot marry him without the Prime's permission.
Yezier is traditionally very close to Azish throne, and the princess is noted to live in Azimir for half of every year.
The country has no Oathgates. It's unknown whether they possess any Shards, though ordinarily they, like any other member state, can borrow the Imperial Shardblades of Azir. Whether that still holds true during the True Desolation is unknown.
They are known for their stormwardens and timekeepers. Along with the neighboring country of Liafor, they are one of the centers of fashion on Roshar, and have been for decades. They likely speak one or more of the Makabaki languages.
== Notable citizens ==
* The princess - the ruler of Yezier. Comes to Urithiru personally to plead for help against a possible Iri invasion.
* A Skybreaker - one of Nale's trainees in Tashikk is from Yezier, and complains about the Tashikki coyness.
== Trivia ==
* Yezier's size is comparable to that of Earth countries of Zimbabwe and Paraguay.
== Notes ==
Yezriar

Brightlord Yezriar is a crown prince of one of the Alethi princedoms on Roshar. He was killed by Dalinar early in Gavilar's unification war. 
==Appearance and Personality==
Yezriar is a high-ranking lighteyes. In battle, he wears steel plate armor with a helm and cape that is styled to resemble Shardplate. He rides a white mare and carries a sword and shield. He is accompanied by an honor guard on the battlefield, and he seems to follow established military traditions and customs. 
== History ==
In , Gavilar invaded one of the Alethi princedoms that opposed his ambition to rule Alethkar. Gavilar's forces, led by Dalinar, pursued the local army from the south somewhere in the outskirts of the princedom. During the pursuit, the locals set their own land on fire, desperately hoping to slow Gavilar's attack. However, Dalinar pressed his forces through the fires and caught up to a portion of the defending army, led by Yezriar. Yezriar's army included an archer with a blue face tattoo, presumably Teleb.
Dalinar wanted to kill the most important person he could find. He knew that the highprince was fighting further north, but he vaguely recalled Gavilar mentioning a son. Torol Sadeas later mentioned the crown prince being a strategic threat. Dalinar's soldiers quickly began to route Yezriar's defenses and Yezriar accepted Dalinar's challenge for a personal duel. Jenin shot Yezriar's horse with an arrow; Yezriar fell, but quickly recovered to face Dalinar. Dalinar attacked aggressively, but one of his shield straps broke during the fight, allowing Yezriar a brief opportunity that he took advantage of to land several blows on Dalinar, including a gauntleted punch directly to his face. However, this further stirred the Thrill in Dalinar, who ferociously attacked with a poleaxe. Yezriar attempted to flee, but Dalinar tripped him and slammed the poleaxe through his chest.
As he lay dying, Yezriar asked Dalinar why he had attacked their princedom, and was surprised to hear that Dalinar did not know and had simply followed Gavilar's orders. Dalinar had Dym end Yezriar's suffering by stabbing him with a sword through a gap in his armor. Dalinar later told Teleb that he killed Yezriar in lieu of capturing him in order to discourage other lighteyes from resisting Gavilar's rule. Yezriar's father was also killed in the fighting, and his head was placed on a spear.
Many years later, Yezriar's death was among the memories that Odium rekindled in Dalinar's mind to help demonstrate how much he had influenced Dalinar's life through the Thrill. Dalinar thought of Yezriar as a better man than himself.

Yil

Yil was a Striker guard in the Rose Palace who guarded Shai while she was crafting Ashravan's Essence Mark.
Shai forged a letter from the Bloodsealer to trick Yil. She made Yil believe that the Bloodsealer was collecting nails, hair, and personal items belonging to him and the other guards in order to take control of their bodies and kidnap someone. Yil and Hurli went and roughed the Bloodsealer up a bit, which resulted in him drinking too much and being too late to renew the stamp imprisoning Shai.
Shai believed that Yil and her other guards would be reassigned to a backwater guard post after she finished her work, possibly guarding passes to the Teo Peninsula.

Yis

Yis is an Iriali leatherworker on Roshar. He works in the warcamps on the Shattered Plains during the War of Reckoning.
==Appearance and Personality==
He has yellow eyes and golden hair with a metallic sheen. He wears his hair short and covers it with a cap to avoid attention. He seems to have some level of education, as he exhibits a relatively large vocabulary.
==History==
He was one of the lead leatherworkers in Dalinar Kholin's warcamp. Adolin consulted Yis and his colleague, Avaran, during the investigation into Elhokar's broken saddle strap. Adolin showed Yis and Avaran the strap, and they agreed that it was sliced rather than torn. Janala briefly interrupted, later calling the leatherworking shop "stinky". Yis and Avaran did not confirm Elhokar's theory that someone cut the strap intentionally, since they had seen similar cuts caused by loose buckles or improper storage. Adolin later visited more leatherworkers, and most of them agreed with Yis and Avaran's findings.
== Notes ==
Yix

Yix is a member of Macob's caravan.
He has golden hair and is likely of Iriali descent. He is potentially multilingual, though it is unknown which languages he speaks. He wears tan clothing and carries a sword, though unlike in Vorin society, this is not necessarily indicative of his rank. He is a highly suspicious person and good at moving stealthily.
He works under Tyn while travelling with Macob's caravan across the Frostlands and performed duties as a scout. Yix and Tyn found Shallan and Tvlakv spying on their camp after the caravan had fled a group of bandits. It is likely that Yix died defending the caravan when it was attacked a second time by the bandits.
== Notes ==
Yixli

Yixli is the Voidspren that leads Khen, Sah, and Kaladin to Revolar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Yixil appears as a tiny woman, glowing yellow-white like the center of a flame, and wears a flowing dress that covers her legs entirely. Her face is shaped oddly narrowly, but with large, childlike eyes, like someone from Shinovar. When talking with Kaladin, she manifests standing on a translucent pillar of gold stone so that she is at his eye level.
== Attributes and Abilties ==
Yixli has a similar level of control over who sees her as an honorspren would, though she doesn't appear to need a Nahel bond to maintain her mind while in the Physical Realm.
== History ==
Yixli was one of the many yellow-white Voidspren that guided the newly-awakened singers to Kholinar.
== Notes ==
Ym

Ym is an Iriali cobbler, who owns his own shop, on Roshar. He provides free shoes to street urchins who need them, asking only that they tell him their stories in return.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He wears spectacles.
Ym is a kind and selfless man. Unlike some of his colleagues, he prefers to make the wooden forms of his shoes by himself. He thinks since it has been done that way for centuries, there is probably a good reason for it. He heals the urchins that come to his shop, comforts them and makes sure they have a good pair of shoes. He is religious and follows the Iriali god known as the One. His religious beliefs influence how he runs his business and as such he does not charge for the shoes he makes, instead asking for his customers to share their life experiences with him.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Ym is a Surgebinder and has bonded a mistspren. As such, he has access to the Surges of Progression and Illumination. 
Wyndle implied that the cultivationspren considered bonding Ym, which would have allowed him access to the Surges of Progression and Abrasion.
== History ==
In his youth, he lived on the streets although he was apparently born to a family of means. He unwittingly killed a woman. He was told to deliver a bottle of wine to a woman and that the vintage was a message she would recognize. The wine, however, was poisoned and the woman died. Regretful of his actions, Ym went on to live a life free of crime. Eventually, he opened up a cobbler shop where he would often make shoes for the street urchins.
He was killed by Nale in his attempt of stopping the True Desolation by killing new Radiants.
