Vennis Hasting

Vennis Hasting is a powerful senator for House Hasting in the Elendel Senate on Scadrial.
House Hasting and House Erikell were typically opposed to Waxillium Ladrian's political positions. In , Wax and Steris uncovered a scandal in which Vennis was bribing other senators for their votes. They used multiple handwriting analysts to confirm that incriminating letters were written in Vennis's own handwriting, which had distinctive loops. Despite the scandal, Vennis retained his powerful position.
Shortly thereafter, Maraga showed Wax a letter from Vennis dated almost a year earlier that described a powerful bomb and implicated several other senators in a plot to dominate the Elendel Basin. Although this information seemed to confirm some of Wax's suspicions about the Set, the letter puzzled him since the Set could simply take power politically if they had so many senators on their side. Wax later found some letters from Vennis to Gave Entrone when he and Wayne broke into the Silver House, but they had nothing incriminating in them.
After additional investigation, Wax—partly relying on his previous experience with Vennis's handwriting—realized that Telsin and the Set had forged the letter about the bomb. Gave had retained the innocuous letters from Vennis to help with the forgery. Telsin's plan was to blow up Elendel and then falsely claim that the Elendel senators had developed the bomb themselves before accidentally detonating it. This would have left a power vacuum and deflected the blame from the Set, allowing them to take over the Basin.

Vent (Scadrial)

Vent is a skaa who lived in the Final Empire on Scadrial.
Vent knew Kelsier and Dockson. He is an extremely nervous and jumpy man. When Kelsier met Vin, he was reminded of Vent, although Dockson insisted that she was not as bad. As Kelsier and Dockson spoke of Vent in the past tense, it seems likely that he was dead by the point they met Vin.

Veratorim

Veratorim is an honorspren living in Lasting Integrity in Shadesmar on Roshar.
During Adolin Kholin's trial, Veratorim was near the front of the audience and tried to interject regarding Adolin's ignorance of the potential dangers to spren who form a Nahel bond. However, the trial had rules against the audience asking questions. Kalak, who was serving as the judge, cut off Veratorim and threatened to have them ejected, silencing the spren.

Verdant King

The Verdant King is the king of the Emerald Sea and possibly other regions. He is referred to solely as the king by the natives of the Emerald Sea, however Salay (from the Sapphire Sea) does call him the "Verdant King" indicating this is a recognised title. He resides in a palace on the king's island in the Core Archipelago, presumably Kingsport. He is the individual who authorized sending Charlie to the Sorceress.
The king is antagonistic toward the Sorceress and the tariffs she imposes on trade through the Midnight Sea, and most of the political actions he is reported to take over the course of the novel are in opposition to her. He sends Charlie to the Sorceress allow the duke's nephew to create an alliance with another kingdom by marriage and commandeers merchant ships into his navy to prepare to fight her.
The king made it law that those living on Diggen's Point could not leave the island, though he changed this law after Tress and the crew of the Crow's Song defeat the Sorceress so that residents are allowed to leave but receive a large stipend for working there for twenty years.
A mercantile writ is required from the king to trade goods, though a tariff is imposed still. A king's writs of purchase also forced captains to ferry government officials in need from Diggen's Point.
He supposedly employs five King's Masks as assassins to perform important missions.
== Trivia ==
* The only individual to refer to him as the 'Verdant King' is Salay, leaving it unclear if his kingdom solely comprises of the Verdant sea or expands beyond it. It is even possible that his control does not extend to the entire sea as Huck is unsurprised to find an island near the border of the sea did not fly the king's flag.
* A regalthon (a forty-mile race) is held every year on the king's birthday.

Verdict

Verdict is an essay written by Jasnah Kholin in the year . It is one of three arguments presented to the Azish Government by the coalition of monarchs in an attempt to get the central Rosharan empire to join their forces.
Verdict is the shortest essay of the three, being only a single, double-sided page long. It is written entirely in single rhythmic meter and includes references to Aqqu's seven Logical Forms and the Grand Orientation. It also contains a quote by Prime Kasimarlix that is used to extrapolate to different levels of Superior Understanding, in three sequential stages.
The essay was presented to the Azish viziers and scions by Dalinar Kholin, in an effort to convince the country to join the coalition against Odium and the Fused. It was the final essay to be presented and convinced Vizier Noura to at least consider the alliance offer and present the arguments to the Prime. Verdict was received favorably by the officials and they were highly impressed by Jasnah's writing, finding it to live up to her reputation as a scholar. Nevertheless, it was not Jasnah's essay, but Navani's, that eventually convinced the Azish to join the coalition.
== Trivia ==
*'Verdict' is the chapter title in which the three essays are presented to the Azish.

Veristitalian

The Veristitalians are an order of scholars on Roshar.
==Mission==
Veristitalians believe that most historians do not seek truth, instead attempting to present the most adulating picture of themselves and their own motives. Conversely, Veristitalians seek to create unbiased, factual accounts of the past in order to understand the present and be prepared for the future. The members choose research projects that they feel are misrepresented or misunderstood to study, and try to "reconstruct" the historical events to find the truth. Their research methods would be considered unconventional by traditional historians, as Veristitalians believe that folk tales and superstitions can preserve bits and pieces of history.
==History==
Jasnah Kholin, a prominent Veristitalian, was performing research at the Palanaeum when she first met Shallan Davar in Kharbranth. The order itself was not a secret, and she talked about it freely with Dalinar, Renarin, and others.
Jasnah stayed in contact with other Veristitalians via spanreed. They kept each other apprised of current events around Roshar, including the fallout from the Everstorm. They took particular interest in tracking the activities of notable individuals such as Heralds, Radiants, and Siah Aimians. Sharing information helped them formulate theories about supernatural events past and present.
==Members==
Jasnah, Ethid, and Jochi are Veristitalians, and all three of them studied under an unnamed master. Jasnah believes that her colleagues are among the finest minds on Roshar. She refers to the members of the group as her "sisters", although at least one member (Jochi) is actually a man who uses a female pen name. The total number of members is unknown.
==Trivia==
*Rosharans would not use the term "Veristitalian", instead using a term that comes from an ancient in-world language. It is translated into an invented English word to maintain the right feel for the reader, in this case drawing on the Latin root meaning "truth".
*The notion of using history to affect present and future events comes from Brandon's own personality.

Vet (Roshar)

Vet is a bridge sergeant of Bridge Eighteen during the War of Reckoning on Roshar.
Vet is earnest, but he does not have an authoritative presence; he is socially awkward and tends to beg his men to do something instead of commanding them. While evaluating the various bridge crews, Kaladin noted that Vet's weakness was further exposed by the dejected and fractured nature of Bridge Eighteen. He considered reassigning the men to other platoons if he could not help Vet motivate them.
== Notes ==
Vevidar

Vevidar is a quartermaster in the army of Alethkar on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is beefy and rolls up the sleeves of his shirt. He makes sure to follow the proper procurement procedures, but also talks to Kaladin in a very informal manner. He is a bit nervous around large sums of money.
==History==
Vevidar was likely a member of the Kholin army, as he appeared to have very high-level responsibities under Dalinar's leadership. He maintained an office in Urithiru where he worked with a stout woman, likely his wife, who served as his scribe.
He was charged with delivering two large bags of uncut emeralds from the Alethi royal gemstone reserve to Kaladin, who had requisitioned them for use in training the Knights Radiant and their squires due to their capacity to hold a large amount of Stormlight. The gems were worth a princely sum, and Vevidar was nervous about holding them, despite the presence of additional security guards. Kaladin had been secretive about his request, presumably due to the value of the emeralds, and picked the gems up in Vevidar's office after Lyn delivered a message that they were ready for collection. Vevidar and his wife made sure that Kaladin's paperwork was in order and that he stamped it with his captain's seal before giving him the bags. Vevidar was amazed that Kaladin was allowed to use the gems, but was happy to see them out of his office. However, Kaladin told him that he would be checking gems in and out daily since he only wanted them if they were full of Stormlight.

Vexil

Vexil the Wise is the Prime of the Makabaki kingdom of Emul on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
As with many of the Makabaki monarchs, Vexil is often referred to simply as Emul.
== Personality ==
Little is known of Vexil's personality. He has a passionate hatred for both the Tukari and their ruler Tezim. He is also a grateful man, very appreciative of the Alethi offer to help him secure the last of his lands. As ruler of Emul, he obviously seeks to promote his kingdom whenever possible, but is ultimately realistic enough to accept that his personal priorities are not those of the other kingdoms of Roshar.
== History ==
Little is known of Vexil's early life. At some point he and the princess of Yezier engaged in a romantic relationship that eventually came to an end. He became Prime sometime after Ashno of Sages had completed his time as Emuli Prime. Vexil spent a portion of his rule embroiled in the Eighty's War with the kingdom of Tukar and its god-priest Tezim. By late 1173, Vexil's power in the kingdom was waning with the kingdom invaded and refugees flooding into neighboring Tashikk.
Following the arrival of the Everstorm, and an assault by the singers as they moved through Emul to Marat, Vexil was even further weakened. He and Ashno traveled to Azimir and accompanied the leaders and representatives of the rest of the Makabaki Empire through the Oathgate to Urithiru. Upon his arrival, Vexil sought to advocate for his kingdom. In a meeting with the rest of the rulers of the coalition kingdoms, Vexil asked that their next move be to reclaim his land lost to the singers and then conquer the kingdom of Tukar. This proposal was dismissed, as the coalition wished to focus on securing what lands they had first. Alethi Highprince Aladar offered the aid of several of his experts in fortification to help Vexil defend what lands were left to Emul, but not to yet try to reclaim any lost lands. Vexil gratefully accepted Aladar's offer.
Prior to the Battle of Thaylen Field, Vexil traveled to Thaylen City to the meeting of coalition leaders before the battle. He spoke to Aladar there about tactics. After the revelations about Dalinar's role as highking, conversations with Odium, and the potential dangers of Surgebinding, Vexil seems to have departed the city, possibly with the Azish. After the battle, Vexil seems to have returned to Thaylen City and spoke to the princess of Yezier, as their guards cleaned up rubble. This spurred rumors that the two were rekindling their romantic relationship.

Vici Cavern

Vici Cavern is a human-inhabited cavern on Detritus.
They are descendants from marines of Defiant, and are rumored to be great warriors. They have a separate culture and mostly keep to themselves.
Morningtide is a Vician. English is not her first language, which may mean the Vician's are also not English speakers. Additionally, they may have a distinct accent from those that live in other caverns. Spensa also noted that she had a tattoo across her jaw that seemed to identify her as Vician.
== Notes ==
Victory Flight

Victory Flight is a part of the DDF and is made up of full pilots that have graduated Flight School.
The Flight was called up from reserve to provide backup and take over from Skyward Flight during a battle. Before Victory Flight arrived, the group of cadets were attacked and forced to engage the enemy. Victory Flight arrived moments before Hurl lost control of her Poco and crashed, believing that she could safely land the broken ship. Victory Flight took over the fight allowing the remaining members of Skyward Flight to pull out of the battle and retreat.
When the Superiority sent their battleship forward to begin bombarding Detritus, Victory Flight was one of the flights sent up to fight off the Krell so that FM could disable the cannon. Victory Flight and Valkyrie 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, Victory Flight and Valkyrie 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, Victory Flight retreated back to Platform Prime with the other flights on Cobb’s orders.
When Superiority forces attacked the planet Evershore, Victory Flight was one of the flights called into action to protect the planet, alongside Stardragon Flight and Ivy Flight. Victory Flight had a few taynix, and used them to hyperjump to Evershore. Victory Flight was assigned by Jorgen to protect the city of Dreamspring closely, providing a line of defense if any Superiority ships got past Ivy Flight and Stardragon Flight.

Vif Sparkle Tonic

Vif Sparkle Tonic is a brand of drink on Scadrial.
It was made by Doctors Fronks and Selvest Vif, who claimed that it relieved drowsiness and irritability caused by ulcers, animalcules, and poor nutrition. By , other drinks claiming to have similar benefits were on the market, and Vif Sparkle Co. ran an ad in The Two Seasons broadsheet of Bilming touting their secret formula and exhorting customers always to buy the Vif name brand.
== Notes ==
Vigor

Callsign Vigor is a former cadet in the DDF Flight School who was kicked out before graduation, after she was shot down and ejected from her aircraft.
She is in her early twenties, with a prominent scar across her forehead.
She was placed in the reserve, and was drafted to fly in Spensa's place during the battle in which Hurl died. Spensa arrived before she could take off, and reluctantly, Vigor relinquished the Poco to Spensa.
== Notes ==
Vila Mecant

Vila Mecant is a Coinshot from Scadrial and an antagonist of Nicki Savage.
She wanted the 'Compass of Spirits' for herself and so stole it from Nicki and her companions but forgot the key in the process. Nicki came up with a plan to catch up to Vila in time and correctly deduced that Vila was planning to find them again in order to retrieve the key, the pair fought while clinging onto the wings of an ornisaur. Nicki leeched Villa's steel reserves and won the battle, managing to catch Vila before she fell. In response, Vila punched Nicki in the face, causing her to instinctively let go of Vila, which caused her to plummet.

Vin's mother

Vin's mother is a skaa prostitute in Luthadel. She uses Vin's sister to Hemalurgically charge a bronze spike. She then spikes Vin with this bronze 'earring', which later gives her the power to pierce copperclouds. She was found by Reen while covered in her nameless daughter's blood and proclaiming Vin a queen. She was later assassinated by Tevidian.
She was under the influence of Ruin, and he was able to influence her due to her own insanity.

Vinebud

Vinebud is a type of rockbud that can be found in many regions of Roshar. 
==Description==
Vinebud plants have an elastic, hollow stem. The stem normally has a cylindrical shape, but it can expand outward to accommodate the plant's retractable leaves, vine-like tendrils, and cone-like flowers. The plant retracts to protect itself from highstorms or nearby motion, and the stem takes on a bubble-like appearance when it stretches to accommodate the leaves and tendrils. Unlike common rockbuds, the vinebud appears to permanently root itself to the ground to avoid being blown around by the storms.
The leaves and tendrils of the vinebud are longer and more delicate than those of the common rockbud. The tendrils in particular extend far out of the plant and wave in the wind. Shallan Davar speculated that vinebud is related to fingermoss, a smaller plant with a similar appearance. 
Gardeners on Roshar have cultivated a variety of vinebud that does not retract back into its stem, although it retains a vestigial shell. It is used as a houseplant.
== Trivia ==
*The design for vinebuds was based on the sea anemone.

Virtuosity

Virtuosity is a Shard of Adonalsium who Splintered herself. The Vessel was an unknown female, she is possibly one of the scholars Hoid questioned about talent.
== Intent ==
Virtuosity's Intent concerns artistic intent, and artistic talent, and artistic appreciation.
It appears to have some association with mathematics, as its Investiture and Splinters are attracted by numbers in the Artist's sequence of progress.
== Associated Magics ==
=== Hijo ===
Hijo are spirits found on Komashi. They naturally reside underground, and are attracted by thoughts, emotions, and artistic expressions. They are also attracted to expressions of the Artist's sequence of progress, especially as it relates to artistic expression.
Hijo are a major part of the lives of people all over Komashi, and are the key to their survival on the planet. They can be bound by a yoki-hijo into useful tools and devices, or be utilized to produce and supply hion. The hijo are related to Komashi's strange geothermal activity, apparently being directly responsible for the intense heating of the ground in the region of Torio.
== History ==
Like all Shards, Virtuosity was created at the Shattering of Adonalsium and picked up by an unknown Vessel. In the millennia that followed, Virtuosity primarily spent her time exploring various artistic expressions throughout the cosmere, and consequently never settled in one location for very long.
At some point, Virtuosity Splintered herself for unknown reasons in the UTol system, in the vicinity of Komashi. Design asserts that the entire region is filled with Splinters of Virtuosity in the wake of this. Hoid believes that her Splintering may have contributed to the odd way UTol is visible through the shroud on Komashi.
== Trivia ==
* The word "Virtuosity" is often mistaken to be related to the notion of "virtue". The term actually refers to the characteristics of a virtuoso: someone having outstanding talents or technical abilities, especially in the arts.
* Brandon considered naming the Shard "Artistry", but felt the name "Virtuosity" fit with other Shard names, like Odium, better.
* A future book will explore Virtuosity's story.
* The sacred number of Virtuosity is most likely 13.
* The Push-Pull theme can be seen in all magic systems, but is most pronounced with Virtuosity's Investiture.

Vivenna's mother

Vivenna's mother is the queen of Idris on Nalthis approximately 300 years after the Manywar.
== History ==
Vivenna's mother married Dedelin and had three daughters: Vivenna, Fafen, Sisirinah, and one son Ridger. She taught her daughters propriety, specifically teaching Siri that it was unseemly to stare at young men. Her older daughters especially felt that their mother supervised their lives and taught them to be controlled. She died over a decade prior to the Pahn Kahl rebellion in a riding accident.
== Legacy ==
Vivenna, who keeps herself under control at all times largely because of her mother's influence, reminds Dedelin very strongly of his late wife. This is a major factor in his decision not to send Vivenna to Hallandren, even though he doesn't admit this reasoning to himself. Both of them are unpleasantly reminded of Vivenna's mother's death when they see Siri out taking rides on horseback; this leads to a lot of tension in their relationships, which Siri doesn't understand because she doesn't remember her mother's death.

Vldgen

Vldgen is a femalen singer from Thaylenah on Roshar. She is a former parshwoman who awakened with the coming of the Everstorm.
==Appearance and Personality==
Vldgen is relatively pacifistic, although she is willing to fight for her species. She is curious about the origin of the singers.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Like most of the parsh population, Vldgen took on several traits common to the humans of her homeland when her mind was freed. In her case, that means she can speak Thaylen and has the skills of a sailor.
==History==
Venli overheard Vldgen talking to a fellow Thaylen singer about the events of the True Desolation as they prepared a ship. Vldgen believed that it was wrong to try to kill the humans, unless they attacked first. She thought that the singers should simply enjoy having their minds back, although she did wonder about their past. Timbre seemed to approve of this attitude. Hearing Vldgen helped Venli decide how she wanted to help her people; she approached the pair and began to tell them of their past and the listeners.
