Varth

Varth is a squadleader in Meridas Amaram's army under Torol Sadeas in Alethkar on Roshar.
== Appearance & Personality ==
Varth is around seventeen or eighteen years old. He is a lean, thoughtful-looking man with keen eyes. During his time in Amaram's army, he wears a green uniform with squadleader knots at the shoulder, along with leather armor. He has a haggard appearance from the stress of constant war.
He is selfish but pragmatic. He uses whatever resources are at his disposal, and is always looking for a way to turn a liability into an advantage. His ultimate philosophy is to do whatever is necessary to keep himself alive, even if other people die instead. However, like many soldiers in Amaram's army, he is often put into impossible situations, and he experiences regret over some of the choices that he has to make.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Varth has some understanding of battlefield tactics, and is used to operating with minimal resources. He is trained in the use of a spear.
== History ==
=== Squadleader in Amaram's Army ===
Varth served as a squadleader in Brightlord Sheler's company within Amaram's army when it fought in a variety of small border conflicts between Sadeas and his rival highprinces, as well as the Reshi Isles and the nation of Jah Keved. During a battle with Hallaw's army, a small group of Sheler's forces (including Varth and Mesh's squads) were suffering heavy casualties while holding a hilltop, but they was ordered to hold the line and not retreat. Lacking suitable reinforcements, three messenger boys including Tien were sent to Varth. The boys had no combat training and were not intended to see the battlefield, but there was no one else left to help; Tien actually volunteered for the assignment. Varth placed them front and center in his squad's formation. When the enemy troops reached the line, Varth's squad pulled back, leaving Tien and his companions alone at the front, where they were swiftly slaughtered. However, the distraction briefly broke the momentum of Hallaw's charge, allowing Varth's squad to counterattack. Amaram and his cavalry then swept in and routed the remaining enemies. Varth realized that Amaram had intentionally sacrificed several squads in order to make himself look good.
Kaladin Stormblessed, Tien's brother, reached Varth and his squad moments later and confronted Varth about leaving Tien and the other boys exposed. Varth explained that he did whatever was necessary to keep himself alive, and advised Kaladin to learn to do the same. He then retreated to a more fortified position.
== Legacy ==
Varth's words are often recalled by Kaladin later in his life. He feels a certain kinship with Varth's struggle to survive despite impossible orders from his commanders, although he strongly disagrees with Varth's principles. Kaladin was driven for many years by a desire for power in order to exact vengeance on Varth and the men of his squad for sacrificing Tien. He later reflects on Varth and the context of Tien's death on several occasions before speaking the Ideals of the Windrunners.

Vartian

Vartian is a lighteyes in the Sadeas warcamp on the Shattered Plains of Roshar during the War of Reckoning.
Adolin Kholin described Vartian as one of Sadeas's lazy sycophants. Vartian spoke with Lomard about how Dalinar and his sons were not winning any gemhearts, purposefully saying it within earshot of Adolin.

Vastworm

Vastworms are enormous creatures that live in space and feed off of pure energy, including cytonic energy. They are drawn to places where there are a lot of taynix, unless the minds of the taynix are well shielded. The Superiority generally expends large amounts of resources to exterminate infestations of them before their numbers expand too much, though there are several hundred around the Superiority base Evensong. Vastworms can be warded off by using an Inverted Magellan Pulse, which uses a frequency they don't like.
== Appearance and Biology ==
Vastworms resemble giant worms, and are covered cilia-like hairs and black and white spots. They are several kilometers long, and will devour entire ships. A vastworm's throat is about twelve meters in diameter, and the inside is covered in long green tendrils. The tendrils are capable of draining a starfighter's shield with a single touch. The throat forms a long continuous tunnel throughout its body, and it's rear end has a large opening like its mouth.
They can move incredibly fast despite their size, and undulate as they move. They sometimes coil up as a defensive posture. When struck with destructor blasts, blue lights start glowing along their body.
== Culture ==
The kitsen have legends about the vastworms, which their samurai supposedly fought against in perilous battles. According to Kimmalyn, the Saint slew one at some point, though the holy witness spelled it as "wurm".
== Notes ==
Vatwha

Vatwha is a singer and one of the Fused, a member of the shanay-im. During the True Desolation, she wears long clothing.
Hoid danced with Vatwha thousands of years before the True Desolation, but later, she was trained--presumably by Odium--to watch for Hoid.
Hoid saw Vatwha in Kholinar after the Siege of Kholinar, hovering in the air, acting as a sentry. Despite her training to spot Hoid, she gave him barely a glance when he passed underneath her in disguise. Hoid decided to not take it as an insult.
== Notes ==
Vax

Vax is likely a planet in the cosmere.
Nothing is known of Vax, its peoples, or any Shards that may or may not be located there. All that is certain is that it has a manifestation of Investiture in which people are Initiated differently than on Sel, Scadrial, Nalthis, or Taldain.
On Scadrial, when Ruin is killed by Vin while she is holding Preservation, Ati's soul is finally freed from Ruin and appears in the Cognitive Realm. Right before moving on to the Beyond, Ati looks around Scadrial's subastral and seems to wonder aloud if it is Vax. Leras would recognize Vax. Khriss is aware of Vax and how people are Initiated on or within it.
It is not clear whether Vax is a planet, or simply a place.
== Trivia ==
* Brandon refuses to say anything about Vax.
* If Vax is inhabited, they have not yet developed vaccines.

Vazrmeb

Vazrmeb is the captain of the ship First Dreams on Roshar.
==Appearance and personality==
Vazrmeb is Thaylen and has the long white eyebrows characteristic of his people. He has long, curly hair. He is unusually tall for a Thaylen, as tall as a typical Alethi, and has large arms and hands. Kaza remarks that he does not conform to the stereotypical image of Thaylens as parsimonious merchants. He is boisterous and appears to be a skilled captain, as he is able to keep his crew organized through a deadly storm.
==History==
Vazrmeb was infatuated with the legends of hidden riches on Akinah in Aimia. Although most Rosharans considered Akinah unreachable, he and his helmsman Droz sought to travel to the island. Few sailors were willing to attempt this journey, so Vazrmeb hired a mercenary crew in Steen. It is not clear whether he owned the ship First Dreams or if it was chartered. He had at least some prior knowledge of the stone spikes blocking entry to Akinah, and hired Kaza in Liafor (at great expense) to Soulcast them into smoke. 
First Dreams sailed north from Liafor and encountered a massive storm on the Aimian Sea that abruptly ended near Akinah. Kaza was able to Soulcast the spikes, allowing the crew to approach the island in dinghies. However, Vazrmeb had been poisoned and killed along with the rest of the crew by the ship's cook, a Sleepless posing as a human. Kaza was the only person besides the cook to reach the shore alive, and before she ended her life she noticed that the island did in fact appear to contain the gemhearts that Vazrmeb was seeking. However, these gemhearts would later prove to be fake.
Navani Kholin later learned of Vazrmeb's ambition from the prince of Liafor while investigating the mysterious reappearance of the First Dreams as a ghost ship, although she did not know his fate.
== Notes ==
Ved (Stormlight)

Ved is a member of the Kholinar Wall Guard on Roshar. He is a lighteyes of the tenth dahn, colloquially called a "tenner."
Ved was part of Platoon Seven, Squad Two of the Kholinar Wall Guard during the invasion of Kholinar by the Fused. He and the other members of his squad--Beard, Noro, Alaward, and Vaceslv--readily accepted Kaladin as their sixth member. Their normal duties involved patrolling along the inside of the city wall and guarding a shipment of grain from the citizens of the city until Velalant's troops came to fetch it. Kaladin stood between Ven and Beard during one of Azure's inspections, and during one of the Fused's sorties, Beard and Ved stood together on the wall to fend them off with pikes. Ved and his squad accompanied Azure and Kaladin, at the latter's request, to see the secret of how Azure was feeding the Wall Guard. He was astonished to discover that Kaladin was a Knight Radiant, but he and the rest of the squad followed Kaladin and Elhokar into Kholinar palace during the Battle of Kholinar; having lost their captain, they decided to follow Kaladin instead.
== Notes ==
Vedekar Perel

Vedekar Perel is a lighteyed Alethi officer in the Sebarial army on Roshar. He moves to Urithiru after the Battle of Narak and is murdered by Re-Shephir.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He has bulbous features. His build is similar to that of Torol Sadeas, who is described as "stout".
He is quiet and well-liked. Although he is in the military, he is known as an administrator and not a soldier. He is not a particularly prominent member of the Sebarial army, as he is not known to either Shallan or Adolin before he is murdered.
== History ==
Perel presumably lived at the Shattered Plains during the War of Reckoning, as he was present in Urithiru shortly after the Oathgate at Stormseat was activated.
Not long after the move to Urithiru, his body was discovered by a scouting party that included several members of Bridge Four. He was found in a bathing chamber in a remote part of the second level of Urithiru, close to where the corpse of Torol Sadeas had been found a few days earlier. Perel's corpse was found with a bloodied face, positioned in the exact same way that Sadeas was found. He was stabbed through the eye, also paralleling Sadeas, and his clothing was disheveled and showed signs of a struggle. Several people (including Navani and Shallan) assumed that the same person killed both men. 
In the absence of Niter and Malan, Dalinar assigned Adolin to oversee the investigation of the murders. Adolin enlisted May Aladar and others to interview Perel's family and friends, but was unable to find any connection between the two victims. After a series of other copycat murders, Shallan reviewed her sketches and came to the realization that a twisted spren killed Perel because of his physical resemblance to Sadeas; this led to a confrontation between Shallan and the Unmade known as Re-Shephir after Shallan realized that Re-Shephir had been trying to gain a better understanding of human behavior by mimicking their violence.

Vedelliar

Vedelliar is a town in southeastern Alethkar on Roshar. It is near Rathalas, and contains a waystop.
During the Battle at the Rift in , Teleb's scouts claimed to have observed a caravan of traitors, including a Shardbearer, fleeing Rathalas to the east towards Vedelliar and the Unclaimed Hills. Tanalan told Dalinar that the traitor was Torol Sadeas. However, Teleb's scouts had been bribed into giving false information; the caravan was actually a trap laid by Tanalan to lure Dalinar away from the city into an ambush.
== Notes ==
Vedlew

Vedlew is a Terrisman elder on Scadrial.
Vedlew is the senior elder of the Terris refugees staying at the Pits of Hathsin after the Collapse of the Final Empire. Sazed questions him and the other Terris leaders about the daymists. They tell him that the mistsickness does not affect the Terris people, and that they think it is a myth.
Vedlew wonders why Sazed no longer openly wears his metalminds, and he and the others wish for Sazed to stay with the Terrismen and lead them.
== Notes ==
Vehah

Vehah is a traditional wrestling style in Alethkar on Roshar. It may be the only type of wrestling commonly practiced in the country, as "wrestling" appears to refer to vehah by default.
==Rules and Strategy==
In a traditional vehah match, the participants wear only sparring leggings; grabbing the opponent's hair or leggings is prohibited. A match starts with the participants standing, but eventually moves to the ground; it is advantageous to control how that happens.
==History==
After the Alethi armies moved to Urithiru, Dalinar Kholin was craving a physical challenge and headed to the practice grounds. He engaged in a vehah match with Aratin Khal, who had not lost in months. Dalinar enjoyed the simplicity of the struggle, but noted that he was out of practice and his reactions were a bit slow. Aratin gained the advantage, pinning Dalinar to the ground; Dalinar momentarily considered reaching for the Thrill or using Stormlight, but thought better of it. Despite Aratin's youth and leverage, Dalinar seemed to be close to breaking Aratin's grip when Navani interrupted the match. Dalinar acknowledged that Aratin was the victor, but quietly claimed to Navani that he "almost had him anyway".
== Notes ==
Velalant

Velalant is a middling lighteyes highlord in Kholinar who controls food distribution during the Siege. He commands a unit of soldiers, presumably his household guard, who can be recognized by their pale blue uniforms.
== Personality ==
Though it seems as though Velalant's striving to be fair in the way he's distributing the food, the grain station he operates is poorly maintained, with hours-long queues and no attempt to separate those who truly need its services from the servants of wealthy lighteyes. Moreover, he's not above corruption - an unknown portion of the grain is appropriated for his guards and other lighteyes, and Azure worries that if she doesn't distribute the food through him, he and his fellow highlords will attack the Kholinar Wall Guard to seize their stores. Shallan speculates that the distribution stations are deliberately set up to prioritize the rich over the poor so that Velalant would have the support of the other lighteyes, should the situation in the city change in his favor.
== History ==
Until the Siege, Velalant was a relatively minor player on the city's political scene, but as all the higher-ranking highlords vanished into Kholinar Palace, he found himself rising in prominence. After the riots, he used his guards to take over an abandoned bank called Secure Keeps, and struck a deal with the Wall Guard to distribute the food they were Soulcasting. He additionally secured a market area around the distribution station, and kept peace in his small corner of the city.
Velalant's ultimate fate is uncertain. As Elhokar rallied numerous Alethi nobles to attack the palace, it's possible he was present there; and even if he wasn't, he was still in the city when the Voidbringers took it over. Either way, it's highly probable he did not survive the Siege.
== Notes ==
Velat

Brightness Velat is an Alethi lighteyes and scholar on Roshar specializing in cartography.
==Appearance and Personality==
Velat is middle-aged and wears tight braids in her hair. Navani Kholin believes that she tries to mother everyone around her.
== History ==
===War of Reckoning===
During the War of Reckoning, Velat likely lived in the Kholin warcamp on the Shattered Plains. Towards the end of the war, Shallan Davar was escorted onto the plateaus by Dalinar's troops so that she could observe a chasmfiend chrysalis. When Kaladin and Shallan became stranded in a chasm, she told him that she did not have any maps with her because she had been using maps that she borrowed from Velat.
Velat was presumably among a large group of Dalinar Kholin's scribes and cartographers that accompanied him as he led a scouting expedition into the Shattered Plains. This group of scholars, including the royal cartographer Isasik Shulin, was later co-opted by Shallan and Navani as they attempted to determine the location of the Oathgate at Stormseat.
When the expedition approached Narak, Velat worked with Inadara and Isasik to interpret a map of the inner portion of the Shattered Plains drawn by Shallan. However, Shallan's map was not completely accurate, and new information from a scout ultimately allowed Shallan to pinpoint the location of the Oathgate.
===True Desolation===
During the True Desolation, Velat moved to Urithiru and continued working as a cartographer for the coalition of monarchs. She participated in early missions of the Fourth Bridge, working with engineers to chart out courses for the airship. She had some apprehension about flying on the ship, but she was the best cartographer available because Isasik was busy with other tasks. While the Fourth Bridge was underway, she tethered herself to the deck; she wished that Navani would do the same. She also provided maps to other members of the coalition, including Dieno enne Calah.
== Notes ==
Velding

The Velding is a location on Sel which is being spied upon by Teod. King Eventeo had not been able to get any spies there in a month, and worried what the Fjordell planned there. 
It is possible the Velding is a place in Fjorden, but it could be located in any place in the Fjordell Empire. Or, it could be a place outside of the Empire, but of interest to the Fjordell.
== Notes ==
Velinar

Velinar is a historical figure on Roshar.
Velinar was a lighteyes that lived during the reign of Sadees, presumably in Alethkar. He wielded an ulius during a famous duel for honor with Gulastis.
When Adolin Kholin was fourteen, he misguidedly bought an antique ulius used in the Velinar/Gulastis duel as a gift for Idani. He kept the sword for himself, which had a nick in it from the duel.
== Notes ==
Ven

Ven is the chief surgeon in Amaram's army on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is a tall man, with a long face and a bulbous nose. He wears a loose-fitting white robe.
==History==
During Amaram's battles, Ven had oversight of a pavilion where surgeries were performed. He also trained apprentice surgeons, many of whom were former soldiers that had been injured in battle.
While serving in Amaram's army, Kaladin bribed Ven to ensure that the men in his squad would be the first darkeyes to receive medical attention.
== Notes ==
Vendis

Vendis is a place or culture on Nalthis circa 327. General Yarda mentions to King Dedelin of Idris that the Vendis raids inflicted damage on the Idrian army, and the Idrians still had not recovered.
Judging from the similarity of its name to Idris, Vendis could be a place in the mountains near Idris, and often raided the Idrians. However, it could also be a group of people, rather than a place or country.

Vengeance

Vengeance is a horse belonging to King Elhokar Kholin of Alethkar on Roshar. He is not a Ryshadium but is of the finest Shin stock.
Elhokar rode Vengeance on a chasmfiend hunt on the Shattered Plains with Dalinar Kholin and his sons during the War of Reckoning. Fin, one of the king's grooms, prepared the horse beforehand, saddling him with Elhokar's favorite saddle and getting him ready; as the head groom then led Vengeance to Dalinar's camp, Fin saw that someone had switched out the saddle with a different one. Vengeance was checked over by Dalinar's grooms before they left on the hunt. The horse was initially difficult to get under control when the chasmfiend arrived, but Elhokar was able to charge the beast and get in a few attacks. He wheeled Vengeance about sharply at one point, and the saddle strap broke, flinging Elhokar to the ground. This incident fueled Elhokar's paranoia, prompting an investigation into whether or not the girth strap was deliberately cut.
