Ana

Ana is a silversmith from Kholinar on Roshar. She is Moash's grandmother.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Ana and her husband Da were of the second nahn, a high ranking in the caste systems of darkeyes. They ran their own silversmith shop in Kholinar, and were considered important among darkeyes. It is unclear if Ana was her given name or a nickname used by Moash.
==History==
Shortly after Ana and Da's grandson was born, both of his parents died. Ana and Da took him in and raised him; Da gave him the name Moash. Moash grew into a large, confident youth. He came to feel out of place in Kholinar and he did not care to learn the silversmithing trade; his wanderlust led him to leave the city to work in caravans. Ana and Da encouraged Moash to find his own way.
Around , while Moash was away, an imperious lighteyes named Toralin Roshone became frustrated that Ana and Da's silversmith shop provided competition to one of his own shops. Roshone had connections to then-crown prince Elhokar Kholin and appealed to him for a "favor". With Gavilar and Dalinar away at the Shattered Plains, Elhokar foolishly acquiesced to his friends's request and had the couple jailed on trumped-up charges. However, Elhokar did not realize that high-ranking darkeyes were full citizens with a right to trial. He knew that if the case moved forward to the magistrates, his corrupt act would be exposed, so he left them in the dungeon and intentionally ignored their paperwork. Ana and Da, who were around seventy-five years old at the time, died in the palace dungeons still awaiting trial. Moash did not learn of their deaths until he returned from his caravan months later.
==Legacy==
When Dalinar returned from the Plains, he learned that Ana and Da had died because of Elhokar and Roshone's actions in what became a scandal known as the "Roshone affair". Dalinar argued for a relatively severe punishment, but Elhokar appealed to Gavilar for mercy, and Roshone was instead exiled from Kholinar to become the citylord of Hearthstone. Although Roshone was sent away so he "couldn't do any more harm", he antagonized the citizens of his new town, including Kaladin's family. Kaladin was outraged when he learned of the circumstances of Roshone's exile.
Moash considered Ana and Da to be his only family, and believed their kindness got them killed. The pain of losing them shaped his personality and changed the trajectory of his life. Rumors about the Roshone affair spread, and Moash directly blamed Elhokar for his grandparents' deaths. His hatred of Elhokar caused him to participate in an assassination attempt that was narrowly thwarted by Kaladin. He eventually took his vengeance on Elhokar, killing him during the Siege of Kholinar. Moash also knew of Roshone's involvement in imprisoning his grandparents, and later killed him as well. Although Kaladin vehemently disagreed with Moash's quest for blood, he was sympathetic about the plight of Ana and Da, and thought about them on several occasions.

Analectics

The Analectics is a book written by Corvana on Roshar.
== History ==
In the Analectics, Corvana compiled the some of chants sung by the Vanrial, an order of artists. The Vanrial have sung these words year after year without understanding the words, whose meaning had been lost to time. The Vanrial claimed that these songs were written in the Dawnchant by the Heralds.
Princess Jasnah Kholin owned a copy of the Analectics, which she left on the Shattered Plains in the care of her uncle. In 1173, when Brightlady Navani Kholin recorded the fourteenth vision that Highprince Dalinar Kholin had, she recognized that his last words as part of the Analectics. She referred to Jasnah's copy and confirmed that it was identical to a quote from the Vanrial's songs. In doing so, she proved that Dalinar's visions were not fabrications, but rather drawn from somewhere else. This discovery also allowed for the possibility of translating the songs recorded in the Analectics, as well as the Dawnchant.

Andrew Nalizar

Andrew Nalizar is a professor of Rithmatics at Armedius Academy.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
He is a very powerful Rithmatist. As an experienced duelist, he draws very fast and prefers simple, offensive-oriented defenses and Chalklings. His power was originally granted by a Shadowblaze, but after the event in the Tower of Nebrask, as he was almost certainly replaced by a Forgotten, the source of his powers likely were as well.
==History==
Nalizar got his coat three years prior to the events of the Rithmatist at Maineford Academy, then spent two years at fighting at Nebrask until he came to Armedius Academy. He is considered a hero for his service at Nebrask; he lead the expedition to recover William Muns's body. 
Shortly after becoming a professor at Armedius Academy, Nalizar challenged Professor Fitch to a duel. By winning this duel he and Professor Fitch exchanged places in seniority: Nalizar became a tenured professor and Fitch fell back to the lowest rank, tutoring professor. 
He spent much of his time at Armedius researching books on Rithmatics, particularly Rithmatic theory, which was later speculated by Joel Saxon to be a means of ascertaining humanity's understanding of Rithmatics. 
He was present during the defeat of the Scribbler, who he claimed to have tracked from Nebrask. He was inadvertently splashed with acid by Joel Saxon and knocked unconscious by one of the Scribbler's Lines of Revocation. He was lauded by as a hero by Joel after the battle. 
Joel talked with Nalizar before the grand melee to apologize for suspecting him. Joel realized that Harding hadn’t attacked Nalizar, and that Nalizar hadn’t seemed suprised that Harding had been in the dormitory that night. Joel saw that Nalizar had the same blackness behind his eyes as Inspector Harding, who was possessed by a Forgotten, indicating that Nalizar likely is as well. He all but admitted to being one during his conversation with Joel. He convinced Joel that nobody will believe any accusations against him, given Joel's prior retracted accusation and praise following the defeat of the Scribbler.
During the melee, he was surprised by how well Joel and Melody did and called their performance beautiful. He also said that he would watch them very closely.

He has been working in the Snapshots with his partner, Chaz, for a few years but before working in the Snapshot Division he worked on the normal police force for ten years. During a shootout Davis had a guy in his sights but wasn't able to pull the trigger and later Perez, a fellow police officer, was shot and killed by the man who Davis could have killed. As a result, Davis began to have extreme anxiety and was recommended for Snapshot duty. 
Davis has been divorced for six months from his ex-wife, Molly. Although the divorce means that Davis isn't allowed to see his son, Hal, Davis visits his son as much as he can in the Snapshot. Davis insists on being the one to turn off the Snapshot because he knows turning off the Snapshot kills the Hal who is in the Snapshot.
After dealing with The Photographer, Davis attempts to kill Chaz, who has been secretly sleeping with Molly while Davis visits Hal. Davis points his gun at Chaz and explains his motives but after thinking about his ex-wife, son, and his own future, Davis decides not to go through with it. It is later revealed that the IRL Davis did shoot and kill Chaz and the Snapshot Davis doesn't shoot because of a Deviation.

Davis is a coin collector, just like his son. He also frequently visits the conspiracy and scanner forums in search of discrepancies in the police reports and then likes to investigate these strange moments when he has free time in the Snapshots. He also smokes.

Antillius Shezler

Antillius Shezler is a Mistborn and noble scholar in the Final Empire on Scadrial. He conducted research into the existence of an Eleventh Metal.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Shezler wears a fine suit combined with a white shirt buttoned to the neck, and his hair is short, all after the most current trends in Luthadel. He also wears a belt that holds his Allomantic metals. Even though Shezler lives in the Western Dominance in the city of Mantiz, it is no secret that he is completely infatuated with the Luthadel nobility and that he is eager for connections to society closer to the capital. He is presumably wealthy, as he is the lord of a very large keep and employs a number of security guards. He has an arrogant voice, and believes himself to be almost invincible because he is Mistborn. One of his skaa captives believes that Shezler is not completely sane.
== History ==
At some point in time Shezler presumably fell under Ruin's influence. He subsequently started conducting research on a potential Eleventh Metal. He had a hidden underground laboratory and prison at his keep that was accessed through stairs disguised by a groundskeeping shed. In the laboratory, he experimented with metals and tortured skaa in an attempt to find any that could Snap if they had noble blood. He kept the prisoners in filthy conditions and continued to torture them even when it was apparent that they could not Snap. He listed his findings in a notebook.
During Kelsier's training with Gemmel, the two of them infiltrated Keep Shezler. They found Shezler's laboratory and his captive skaa, which enraged Kelsier. Shezler discovered them and assumed that they were not a threat to him since he was Mistborn. Shezler nonchalantly Steelpushed a coin at Kelsier, but the latter caught him by surprise by Pushing back, and they started a fight. Shezler was more practiced with Allomancy than Kelsier, but he lacked experience fighting other strong Allomancers and he was also distracted by his concern for his expensive equipment. Shezler attacked Kelsier with a dueling cane, but Kelsier found a glass shard that he punched into Shezler's neck, and Shezler's Pewter could not save him. The skaa were set free, although most of them were in severe physical and mental distress.
Kelsier realized that Gemmel intentionally brought him to a place where he would be able to duel another Mistborn; Gemmel considered Shezler to be a "weak" Mistborn since he spent most of his time on scholarly pursuits. Kelsier took Shezler's notebook, presumably beginning his obsession with discovering the Eleventh Metal (malatium).

Antioch

The Antioch is one of the gunships in the Defiant fleet. The crew of the Antioch settled in Bountiful Cavern, nearby to Igneous.
Kimmalyn is the great-granddaughter of the Antioch's assistant quartermaster. At least some of the descendants of the Antioch crew have been employed as gunners at Alta Base, with those who perform well on the smaller anti-airship (AA) guns often being poached by the DDF to become pilots.
To those raised outside of Bountiful Cavern, the descendants of the Antioch crew appear polite and mild mannered, however, they are good at subtle insults.

Aona

Aona was the original Vessel of the Shard Devotion. Sometime after the Shattering, she and Skai took up residence on Sel. Edgli believes that, by doing so, they violated the original Vessels' pact to not settle on the same world as another Shard, though the exact terms of that agreement are somewhat unclear. They were both Splintered by Odium and their combined power forms the Dor.
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Aona was a Shard of Adonalsium, making her one of the most powerful entities in the cosmere. Prior to being splintered she was immortal, unaging, and incorporeal. The Dor is her and Skai's Shards pushed into the Cognitive Realm by Odium; it fuels the magics AonDor, Dakhor, ChayShan, Forgery, and Bloodsealing.
== History ==
Aona originated from Yolen, and was a healer. Tanavast recalls her as always being kind to him, and being one of the best people among those that participated in the Shattering. 
For an unknown reason, she and a group of others broke cosmere's creator deity, Adonalsium, into sixteen pieces. Of those sixteen, she took up Devotion, and departed alongside Dominion for Sel.
Odium manipulated her and Skai into conflict with each other and killed them while they were weakened from the conflict.
== Trivia == 
When Raoden enters the pool, he hears a voice, which may be that of Aona's Cognitive Shadow, though whether or not she even has a Cognitive Shadow is unknown.

Aonic

Aonic is the term used to refer to an ethnic group that exists on the planet Sel. The Aonic people migrated to the region surrounding Elantris several thousand years before the Reod occurred. Aonic people have lighter skin than people from JinDo, with people from Duladel in between, since they're a mix of Aonic and JinDo. Most people in Arelon and Teod are of Aonic descent. They look similar for the most part, although the Teos tend to be taller than people from Arelon, and Sarene (who was from Teod) had light hair, as opposed the average brown hair in Arelon.
== Elantris ==
Only people who are of Aonic descent can be taken by the Shaod and become Elantrians. The precise reason for this is unknown as Elantris predates the arrival of the Aonic people. They are generally followers of Shu-Korath.

Ape Manton

Ape Manton is a criminal which High Lord Waxillium Ladrian pursued during his time as a lawman in the Roughs of Scadrial. Both a thief and an Allomancer hunter, the Ape was a dangerous foe that nearly got the better of Wax.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Nothing is known about Ape Manton's physical appearance. However, Manton makes use of a jagged reversed mah, the Steel alphabet character for gold, as his symbol. Typically, the symbol is painted in red, and may indicate where the Ape has recently committed a crime.
However, the Ape's personality is better known. His dominant personality trait is a hatred for Allomancers. The origin of this hatred is unknown. Ape would not take the aid of an Allomancer for any reason, not even to save his own life. This allows Wax to dismiss the possibility that the Ape is in collusion with the Set; he would never work with a group attempting to breed Allomancers. It is currently unknown if the Ape also extends his hatred to Feruchemists.
== History ==
The Ape lived as a criminal in the Roughs, possibly near Weathering, at some point during his past. He spent his time hunting down Allomancers. At some point, he crossed paths with Waxillium Ladrian, serving as a lawman. During this case, Manton painted a stagecoach with his symbol, a reverse mah. Wax was captured during this investigation and tortured by the Ape for several nights. Wax somehow managed to escape and capture Manton. Manton was locked up securely in the jail at True Madil. Despite his victory, the torture took its toll on Waxillium and his memories of it would remain clear and painful for years. This account of Wax's police work was among those sent to Elendel recorded, where it was read by Lady Marasi Colms.
Years later, Lady Steris Harms compiled biographies of many of Wax's old enemies, including the Ape, in order to prepare for their wedding. She hoped to invite one of them to the wedding ceremony so that she could plan for a disturbance.
Around six months later, Edwarn Ladrian used Wax's history with Ape Manton to try to distract Wax from his search for his sister, Telsin. The Set blamed the explosion they set to injure ReLuur on Ape Manton. Edwarn also had his agents rob Farthing Mansion in New Seran, stealing some valuables and painting the Ape's symbol on the wall of the mansion. The theft was reported in the broadsheet The New Ascendancy. When Wax and his allies arrived in the city, Edwarn's plan almost succeeded. Wax saw the symbol in the paper and hurried to Farthing Mansion with Marasi, but decided to focus his investigations on the Set and his uncle. Later, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Edwarn and Lady Kelesina Shores, Wax realized that the Set had been attempting to distract him and came to believe that the Ape had never been in New Seran.

Aratin Khal

Aratin Khal is an Alethi soldier on Roshar. He is the second son of General Khal and Teshav and an accomplished vehah wrestler.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Aratin is lighteyed, and is at least in his mid-thirties. He has a very muscular physique, with a head that appears almost too small for his body. Aratin has a noticeable gap in his teeth that is visible when he smiles. While wrestling, Aratin goes shirtless with traditional vehah leggings, and presumably wears a takama after his bouts.
Having been raised in a prominent Alethi family, Aratin is capable of polite, formal speech with other lighteyes of a high dahn. He can be informal when given permission, however. His father taught him to respect but not fear his superiors, and he is willing to wrestle Dalinar Kholin without worrying about hurting him.
==Attributes and Abilities==
The Khal family is a linchpin of the Kholin army; Aratin's father is a general, his mother is a prominent scribe and politician that participates in military strategy, and his brothers are both captains. Aratin's rank is unclear, but he is well known to Dalinar.
 
Aratin is extremely strong and an accomplished traditional vehah wrestler, often winning difficult bouts. In late , he went on a winning streak, remaining undefeated for at least several months into the next year. 
== History ==
Aratin was born the second son of General Khal and Teshav, after Halam but before Meleran. General Khal played a large role in raising Aratin, teaching him how to treat his superiors. Aratin presumably lived on the Shattered Plains during the War of Reckoning and traveled to Urithiru through the Narak Oathgate during or after the Battle of Narak. He often wrestled in a large training room near the quarters of the Kholin soldiers in the tower. 
In early , Aratin was challenged to a wrestling match by Dalinar Kholin, who had become restless waiting for a dueling partner. Aratin warned Dalinar that he had not lost a match in months, but happily agreed to the contest. Aratin managed to trip Dalinar over his hip and tried to put him in a chokehold on the ground. Dalinar managed to wriggle free of the chokehold, but Aratin grabbed him under the arms and pressed his face to the mat, pinning Dalinar. Dalinar tried to break free of Aratin's grip by arching his back and twisting, putting pressure on Aratin's shoulders as he held Dalinar down. Aratin seemed to start slipping, but the match was interrupted by Navani. Dalinar raised a fist and bowed to Aratin, congratulating him on his victory; Aratin told him that it had been an honor. Once the duel was over, Aratin's friends came over to congratulate him on his victory, and he winced and held his shoulder when one slapped him on the back. Dalinar realized that Aratin had held the advantage and he should have given up sooner to avoid any injuries.

Arcanum

Arcanum - The Brandon Sanderson Archive is a collection of questions and their answers asked at various signings, releases, and other events. It aims to be a complete resource of all questions asked to Brandon on his works, with a special focus on the Cosmere. It was designed to replace the old Theoryland Interview Database that was mostly focused on the Wheel of Time and Robert Jordan works.
== History ==
For many years Brandon Sanderson's fans were using Theoryland Interview Database to store questions answered by Brandon. It was maintained by Robert Jordan's fandom and so it wasn't easy for Brandon's fans to keep up to date. It was obvious that a new solution was required and multiple attempts to set up a new website were made behind the scenes by 17th Shard administration. 
Work on the final version of the website started on 28th of June 2016. A small team started to brainstorm the design and functionality ideas, that were then transformed into a working prototype. The project was publicly announced on 22nd of May 2017 on the 17th Shard forum. On the 6th of June, almost exactly one year after the start of the project, a big group of prominent 17th Shard members were invited to help fill the new website with all known Words of Brandon. Those users would be later known as Arcanists and most of them continue to work on Arcanum to this day.
The name of Arcanum as well as launch date was announced on 25th of October 2017.
On 8th of November 2017 Arcanum was opened to the public with over 7,700 entries ready for fans to browse.
The Palanaeum project was published on GitHub under the AGPL open source licence on 26th of April 2018.
