Words of Radiance/Headings

It has been theorized that the faces on the arches at each of the epigraphs is a Herald (or Hoid), and that each face tells us something about the chapter that is about to be read. 
The heralds' faces, along with attributes associated with each herald, are listed at Ten Essences.
The herald icons are listed in order from left to right.

Words of Radiance (in-world)

Words of Radiance is a Rosharan book discussing the Knights Radiant. It contains a chapter for each of their orders that discusses their traditions, their abilities, and their attitudes. It was written two hundred years after the Recreance in an old dialect of Alethi, using the protoscript, a precursor to the modern women's script. It is the only piece of literature that is mentioned as being written in this dialect. By the unknown author's own admission, a lot of the book's content is hearsay, incorporating facts, lore, and superstition. The book's overviews of each order have proved to be reasonably accurate; the reliability of the other information in the book (such as synopses of certain historical events) remains unclear. According to Jasnah Kholin, it is the best extant source of information about the various orders in modern Roshar, although she wishes it was more comprehensive. 
==History==
Jasnah gave Shallan Davar a copy of Words of Radiance, but she lost it in the sinking of the Wind's Pleasure before she had a chance to read it. As Shallan's Lightweaving powers continued to manifest, she searched for another copy at the warcamps on the Shattered Plains but had difficulty locating one. Gaz eventually found a copy for Shallan, to her delight. Shallan enjoyed the book and learned a lot from it, but noted that the ancient dialect and sometimes cryptic prose made it frustrating to read. She later mentioned to Adolin that Lightweavers were often artists, a fact she had learned from the book.

Worldbringers

The Worldbringers are a group in the cosmere best known as spiritual leaders, philosophers, and storytellers during Scadrial's Classical era. They were historically members of the Terris people.
== Mission ==
Worldbringers are typically individuals who collect tales of history and folk traditions from any source, seeking out the most interesting stories that they can find. They served as historians and also performed their own research into various subjects; they even had some knowledge of Realmatic Theory. In Classical Scadrial, they were considered holy men, and would sometimes preach certain courses of action regarding religion or politics. During this era, nonreligious Worldbringers who inquired into other subjects (such as nature) were sometimes met with criticism.
== History ==
The origin of Worldbringers is unknown; they are first seen in ancient Scadrial prior to the Final Empire. 
=== Scadrial ===
In Classical Scadrial, Worldbringers were typically Terris Feruchemists who used copperminds to assist them in their goals. They had some sort of organizational structure, including a formal gathering known as the Conclave of Worldbringers. Over time, the organization developed an interest in studying philosophy and religion. The Worldbringers began to keep records of Terris Prophecies and sought out the Hero of Ages. One Worldbringer, Kwaan discovered that Alendi fit all of the prophecies and proclaimed him to be the Hero. He was met with scorn, but eventually convinced his colleagues that he was correct. However, he realized that he had been deceived by an unknown force and recanted in front of the Conclave, but it was too late to stop the events that he had put into motion. His nephew, Rashek, Ascended and became Lord Ruler; as part of his efforts to control the use of the Metallic Arts, he turned all living Feruchemists into mistwraiths except Kwaan, who he soon executed. This effectively wiped out the Worldbringers on Scadrial. 
Years later, as Feruchemy re-emerged due to its latent existence in Terris DNA, the Worldbringer legacy was carried on by the Order of the Keepers, who were inspired by their memory. Older kandra referred to Keepers as Worldbringers. The Keepers continued the work of the Worldbringers by preserving pre-Ascension knowledge of religion and other studies.
=== Lumar ===
Hoid claims to be a Worldbringer while relaying the story of Tress. Hoid was alive when the Worldbringers were active on Scadrial, but it is unclear how or why he joined their ranks. Additionally, it is not known if Hoid is a Feruchemist, although he does have access to unkeyed metalminds.
== Cosmere Connections ==
There is a connection between the Worldbringers and the Rosharan Worldsingers. The names of the groups have similar linguistic origins. It is known that Hoid founded the Worldsingers and that he claims to be a Worldbringer, but his role in the relationship between the two groups is unclear.
== Known Worldbringers ==
* Kwaan
* Hoid

Worldspire

The Worldspire is a massive glass spike located in the Pacific Ocean and marks the exact center of the world according to the people of the Free Kingdoms.
== Structure ==
It runs from the upper atmosphere down into the center of the planet, which is made of glass. It is a recreational activity to skydive off of it. It is located somewhere around the Kalmarian Wilds. There is a city built at the base of the Worldspire and wooden scaffolding going all the way to the top.
== Magical Effects ==
What happens to the spire is transferred to a random number of people, with different people each time. This can happen by tapping it, which causes a ringing sensation in the ears of some people, wind blowing on it, which can cause a cold chill, or striking the spire, which causes headaches. 
== History ==
The previous fact is said by Alcatraz to be foreshadowing if the autobiography goes beyond The Dark Talent. Apparently the events involving the Worldspire were hard to ignore, even in the Hushlands. Attica Smedry planned to use the Worldspire's properties to give the Smedry Talents to the everyone in the world.
== Notes ==
Wrexians

The wrexians are a species or people known to the Superiority.
Very little is known about them; not what they look like, where they come from or whether they are some sort of client or member of the Superiority. What is known is that they're extremely aggressive, more so than humanity, and they apparently cannot be "domesticated" the way some humans have been by the Superiority officials. However, they have much less cytonics users than humans, and are neither as industrious nor as quick to spread.
== Notes ==
Wulfden the First

Wulfden the First is a former Wyrn of the Fjordell Empire on Sel. 
Wulfden the First lived over three hundred years before the Reod, during the First Empire of Fjorden. The empire had conquered almost all of Opelon through military might, but collapsed due to its rapid expansion. 
Fjorden originally had a pantheistic religion, but after the collapse, Wulfden converted to Shu-Dereth and made it the state religion of Fjorden, elevating Jaddeth from a minor god to a primary deity. Early Derethi leadership, presumably under Wulfden's guidance, also instituted the system of propaganda that led their priests to alter historical works such as Wyrn the King.
Within a generation, all of Fjorden was Derethi, and the militaristic structure of their society was adapted to an aggressive policy of religious conversion of neighboring states. The resulting Fjordell Empire, also known as the "New Empire", eventually gained more power than the First Empire had once held. 
==Trivia==
*"Wulfden" is a name used by several Fjordell Wyrns, including the current ruler, Wulfden the Fourth. However, there is no confirmed familial relationship between these leaders.

Wyrn

Wyrn is a term used in Fjorden on Sel. It can refer to:
*Wyrn (title), the title used by rulers of Fjorden
*Wyrn (character), the founder of Fjorden; the title of Wyrn is used in his honor 
**Wyrn the King, an ancient poem about the original Wyrn
*Wulfden the First, a historical Wyrn who converted Fjorden to Shu-Dereth
*Wulfden the Fourth, the current Wyrn
Category:Elantris
Wyrn (character)

Wyrn is an ancient resident of Sel who founded the nation of Fjorden. Subsequent rulers of Fjorden have used "Wyrn" as a title.
He is the subject of the oldest known literary work on Sel, Wyrn the King. He lived long before the founding of Shu-Dereth and Shu-Korath. After Shu-Dereth was adopted as the state religion of Fjorden, modern Derethi priests altered historical documents to falsely claim that Wyrn was Derethi and worshipped Jaddeth.
He is said to have wielded a sword named Gretgor. A sword thought to be Gretgor is still extant and held in Widor.
== Notes ==
es:Wyrn (personaje)
Wyrn (title)

Wyrn is the title given to the emperor of Fjorden and the leader of the Derethi church on Sel. The title is based on the founder of Fjorden, who was named Wyrn.
The Wyrn resides in a palace in Widor which is called Zigareth.
According to the doctrine of Shu-Dereth, the Wyrn is the only individual that can serve Jaddeth directly. All other members of the church are bound to other members of the religious hierarchy below Wyrn, with him at the top and the Gyorns and Gragdets directly beneath him.
The current Wyrn, Wulfden the Fourth, perpetrated the Invasion of Arelon. Recent Wyrns have also used seons for communication, entrusted one to each of their gyorns so that any gyorn would be able to contact them and discuss important matters, even when separated by incredibly long distances. This was a matter of utter secrecy, since the seons are believe to be Elantrian constructs. One such seon was used by Hrathen to communicate with Wyrn Wulfden during his mission in Kae. The seons were kept locked away in strongboxes to ensure their secrecy while not being used, and the Wyrn's own personal seon was attended to by a mute servant at all times.

Wyrn the King

Wyrn the King is an ancient three-thousand line poem written on Sel.
The poem is thought to be the oldest known work of literature on Sel, written before the holy book of Shu-Keseg, the Do-Kando. It is centered around the original Wyrn, the founder of Fjorden.
==Alteration==
After Wulfden the First converted to Shu-Dereth, the original text of Wyrn the King was greatly altered by Fjordell priests to make the work seem more aligned with Derethi doctrine. Among other changes, these altered versions of the poem depicted Wyrn as being Derethi and made frequent references to the importance of the Derethi god, Jaddeth.
Sarene discovered an unaltered version of the ancient poem in a copy of the book Seor's Encyclopedia of Political Myths in Elantris. The book disproved much of the rhetoric and propaganda of the Derethi church and used the alteration of the poem as an example. The original poem made no references to Shu-Dereth and depicted Jaddeth as a minor god associated with the rocks below the ground. Sarene remarked that Fjorden's priesthood would be greatly embarrassed if knowledge of their tampering became known.

Wzmal

Wzmal is a man mentioned in one of the records in the Urithiru gem archive. It is likely due to his naming structure that he is Thaylen.
His wife was planning to depart Urithiru and was given the opportunity to leave a message. She chose to leave a record of her family. A ruby was used to record the message, so she was likely a Dustbringer.
She felt Wzmal was as good a man as any woman could dream of loving.

XinWey's Doctrine

XinWey's Doctrine is the guiding force behind the States. It is a set of rules, from ancient times, and are believed to have served humankind well.
== Details ==
Few of the details about the Doctrine are elaborated on.
=== Utilitarianism ===
Xinwey's Doctrine promotes utilitarianism, the concept of maximizing utility being the most moral action one can take. This is evident in the States, with each Liveborn having their own individual world in which they become heroes and great leaders, accomplishing wonderful things during their lives.
=== Procreation ===
Though the reasons behind this requirement are never fully elaborated on, it is clear that Xinwey's Doctrine feels it is important for a Liveborn to meet another Liveborn, of the opposite sex, in an intimate setting. 
=== Rules of Engagement ===
The full extent of the rules of engagement between two Liveborn are not further detailed, but they clearly exist. Likely used as a means of keeping Liveborn that are proficient at hacking from destroying entire States, violation of these precepts brings punishment from the Wode.
=== Danger ===
Xinwey's Doctrine promotes that Liveborn have the risk of death. Simple causes, such as falling down a flight of stairs, would not warrant the Liveborn's death, but in attempting an act of heroism, or something of the like, the danger must be real. 
== Notes ==
Xinyi

Xinyi is a commander in the DDF of a unknown species.
== Appearance and the Personality ==
Nothing is known about her appearance, age, race, or species, but is referred to by female pronouns. She is hesitant to use the onboard computer system of the Defiant until Becca orders her to use it. After the order she and the rest of the crew become less distrusting of it.
==History==
She was assigned to the Defiant for unknown reasons and by a unknown person. On the ship she gave tactical information to Becca Nightshade such as the time to engagement, and she presumably left with the rest of the Defiant’s crew at the Battle of Evensong.
== Notes ==
Xisisrefliel

Xisisrefliel, also known as Xisis or Foil for short, is a dragon, originally from Yolen, who for a point lived on Lumar in the Crimson Sea. Because of this, the sea became known as 'the domain of the dragon.'
== Appearance and Personality ==
Xisis has black scales, silvery hair, and dragonsteel ridges, claws and horns. He is primarily interested in his research and is unconcerned with desires of mortals. He is very large, around the size of four humans standing on top of one another.
There is only one being on Lumar that he fears, that being the Sorceress, and he refuses to in any way stand in her way.
He does not like putting too much effort into training his servants, and prefers they be well-liked with a good temperament.
He is rather honest, feeling no need to lie; however, he is rather imperious, and the exact truth of his statements can be warped by his own self-image. He is rather honest about the way he personally feels he treats his slaves, believing that he treats them well.
He is particularly interested in the decomposition cycle of the Aethers that engender the seethe on Lumar. This is the primary subject of his research, and the reason for him living at the bottom of the spore seas. He also wishes to master the aethers; this is something he has likely achieved, as he is able to control the crimson spores that make up the sea in which he made his domain and to temporarily cure people of their spore eater affliction.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a dragon, he possesses an extremely long lifespan, and the ability to shapeshift through a currently unknown method.
Xisis has the ability to cure diseases including that of spore eaters. He claims that this is temporary, only lasting a year or two, unless the person remains in his vicinity.
Xisis is also seemingly a Tenth Heightening Awakener, able to Command Awakened cloth without words.
Through unknown means he is also able to control and shape the spores of the Crimson Sea to his whim, allowing him to form tunnels to his base of operations at the bottom of the ocean. This base is itself a series of tunnels made out of the crimson spores.
== History ==
Xisis has lived on Lumar in a palace at the bottom of the Crimson Sea for hundreds of years before the events of the exodus of the Sorceress. His arrival has some connection to the departure of the Iriali, but the exact nature of this relation is unknown. During this time he has been researching the ecosystem at the bottom of the spore seas, as well as the water cycle and the decomposition of spores. 
To help with his chores and research, he has been making trades, taking a slave in exchange for a boon. Captain Crow takes the Crow's Song above his palace and is able to get an audience with him in order to sell Tress to him. Tress, however, is able to convince him to take Captain Crow instead.
Like many dragons, his home base is in Silverlight.
== Trivia ==
* Brandon first revealed Xisis' name when asked if there are any cosmere characters with names starting with X by an artist working on a "cosmere A-Z" fanart collection.

Xiwang Flight

Xiwang Flight is a DDF flight in service after the Battle of Alta Second. They engaged in a skirmish with the Superiority, which took place in space, beyond Detritus’ shells. After returning from the skirmish, they and Skyward Flight were ordered by Cobb to dock at Platform Prime.
== Trivia ==
* Xiwang is a Mandarin Chinese word meaning "hope" and was intentionally chosen for the flight's name for this meaning.
== Notes ==
Xorm

Xorm is a deadeye spren on Roshar who went with Maya through Shadesmar to Azimir shortly before the Night of Sorrows began. Xorm formed a Shardblade that Yanagawn took up in defense of Azimir, thereby becoming one of the Unoathed. Like all deadeyes, Xorm began healing as a result of Ba-Ado-Mishram's release.
== Notes ==
Yaalani

Yaalani the Brave is a mythological Eelakin woman on First of the Sun.
==History==
According to legend, Yaalani is the only female trapper recorded in Eelakin history. She ignored custom and traveled to the Pantheon to perform the incredibly dangerous task of trapping Aviar. Her story is well known and often told to young girls.
Vathi, a well-educated Eelakin woman, grew up listening to stories of Yaalani. She has since learned of myths from many other cultures wherein an extraordinary woman served in a role traditionally held by men, such as a warrior, general, or trapper. Vathi believes that Yaalani and other myths regarding gender role reversal are actually used by parents to remind girls that breaking tradition is the exception and not the rule.
==Trivia==
* Sixth of the Dusk takes place near the end of the cosmere timeline and some readers have speculated about Yaalani's identity, but Brandon has confirmed that Yaalani is not from another work currently (as of the release of Oathbringer).
