Battle of Badon

The battle of Badon was a major battle between the Waelish and the Weswarans. It occurred in the time of Ealstan's grandfather, who fought in the battle.
The Waelish were led by their king, the Black Bear, who had corrupted the wights and commanded monsters, including the wolf Fenris. The gods initially refused to intervene in the battle, fearing the end of the world, but eventually Friag appeared. Her boasts bound the Black Bear to his land. Fenris killed Friag but was bound to the hill of the Black Bear with her dying breath. According to fate, it should have been Tiw who was killed instead. 
In response to the death of Friag, Woden forbade humans to use writing, which had been Friag's invention.

Battle of Luthadel

The Battle of Luthadel is a major event in the history of Scadrial. It is a battle following the Siege of Luthadel.
== Beginnings ==
After the attack of Vin and Zane on Ashweather Cett's army, Cett decided to draw back. Consequently there were two of the three armies left: Straff Venture's army of fifty thousand soldiers and Jastes Lekal's army of twenty thousand koloss.
Straff Venture decided to act on Zane's advice to draw back and wait for the right time to strike after the koloss have killed most of the inhabitants of Luthadel.
The city was now left with the koloss army. Each gate of Luthadel was manned with one thousand soldiers. The koloss gathered to the east of Luthadel and attacked in the morning.
== Battles ==
The Tin Gate was the first to be attacked by the koloss, quickly followed by the Pewter and Zinc Gates. The latter was the first to break. The Steel Gate was strongly protected by Sazed, while the soldiers at the Tin Gate had to draw back early, which resulted in the koloss storming the city up to the Zinc Gate. Many soldiers drew back into the various keeps in the area. Up until sunset, Keep Lekal and Keep Venture had been stormed by the koloss. Thousands of soldiers gathered in Keep Hasting to protect King Penrod. Vin arrived at dusk.
Although Vin was able to cover the retreat of many soldiers she could not stop the koloss, who marched on to Keep Hasting. At that time, only five thousand soldiers of Luthadel were left to face the remaining twelve thousand koloss. Vin discovered that she could control koloss by burning brass, which enabled her to control the koloss army.
At dawn Vin gathered her koloss army and the army of Luthadel at the west of the city to face the army of Straff Venture. As they collided Vin immediately attacked and killed Straff. After that, Cett arrived with his army of forty thousand soldiers to support Luthadel.
==Aftermath==
Vin forced Penrod, Janarle (the last of Straff's officers), and Cett to submit to the New Empire.
The dead included Clubs, Dockson, and Tindwyl.

Battle of Seapress

The battle of Seapress was a conflict between the High Empire and the people of Seapress. It was Varion Crestmar's first battle and the start of the Reunification War. Using far inferior ships, he managed to convince the enemy he intended to surrender and join them when first approaching, then suddenly turned on them. He did this by invoking a rarely used article of the law that let him take over the ship he was on. This battle was later used multiple times as a simulation for Dennison Crestmar to fight.
== Notes ==
Battle of Slickrock

Slickrock is the name of a battle on Roshar between the forces of Nalanar of Jah Keved and Dalinar Kholin of Alethkar.
==History==
The battle occurred prior to the War of Reckoning, likely during the period when Gavilar deployed Dalinar to Herdaz and Jah Keved as a show of Alethi strength. The exact location is not known, but it presumably occurred on a field of slickrock near the border of Jah Keved and Alethkar. An older soldier named Geved fought in Nalanar's second infantry during the battle and survived despite Dalinar's victory.
Geved reminisced with Dalinar when they met in the aftermath of the Battle of Vedenar; both men thought of the battle as a reminder of a simpler time. Dalinar conceded that Nalanar nearly beat him at three different points during the battle. Geved then contrasted his experiences during the battle of Slickrock with the horrific events of the Veden civil war and the effects of the Thrill. The Thrill began to take hold of Dalinar and he realized that it had moved from the Shattered Plains to Vedenar.
== Notes ==
Battle of Teoras

The Battle of Teoras took place on the planet of Sel just before Raoden and Sarene were crowned king and queen of Elantris.
King Eventeo of Teod, faced with the death of his daughter Sarene, capitulates to the demands of Dilaf and agrees to the full surrender of Teod to the armies of the Fjordell Empire.
Dilaf, Hrathen and Sarene are transported to Eventeo's throne room by the sacrifice of some of his monks. Hrathen and Sarene escape, and are pursued through the city by Dilaf.
Raoden arrives in Teoras and is nearly defeated by Dilaf, until Hrathen uses Dilaf's own magic against him.
The rest of the Elantrians arrive and battle the troops of Fjordell. Then they all jump back to Elantris.
== Notes ==
Battle of Trajerto

The Battle of Trajerto is a skirmish between the DDF and Krell on Detritus.
Five years prior to Spensa joining Flight School, a Krell flight infiltrated DDF airspace and destroyed the smaller anti-air defences. Two DDF scouts successfully destroyed the lifebuster before it reached Alta, however the DDF came close to losing the base.
During Spensa's Flight School training, Arturo recognizes that Cobb used a modified recording of the battle as a simulation. Cobb mentions that he wouldn't have time simulating completely fresh scenarios, hinting that other historical battle recordings are used in the simulator.

Bavland

Bavland is a small mining region in the nation of Jah Keved on Roshar. The people from Bavland are called either Bav or Bavlanders.
== Geography ==
Bavland is located on the north-eastern tip of the mountain range in the center of the continent, putting it in the south-west of Jah Keved. The region is rich in ore deposits, making mining central to its economy. Though not all of Bavland is concentrated on it, it seems to be the main source of population and work. There are multiple mining communities there, centered around small villages, with huge populations of transient workers. Due to all the mines, or perhaps the geological makeup of the region, Bavland is extremely dusty.
Despite the abundance of work, settlements in Bavland are rather small. One of the largest, Ironsway, consists of only several hundred homes and three taverns.
The region has an area of around 141,000 Km2.
=== Notable settlements ===
* Ironsway - one of the largest towns in its region
* Bornwater - the biggest mining town in Bavland
* Staplind - a smaller town near Bornwater
* Kneespike - the town of residence of the lord of Bornwater
== Politics and Culture ==
Bavland is generally ignored by the people of Jah Keved; even the Veden highprince who has jurisdiction over the land tends to stay out of the area. The Alethi are dismissive of the area, referring to Bavland as a "backwater". In fact, Adolin Kholin knows little enough of the region that he guesses Zahel to have come from there based on the fact that his homeland uses coins instead of spheres as currency but he doesn't look foreign to his Alethi eye.
The people of Bavland are called Bavlanders by outsiders, though they refer to themselves as Bav. Though still distinctly Vorin, the Bav are a separate culture from that of the Veden, to the point of having their own language with several different dialects. One word from the Ironsway dialect of the Bav language is kurp, a term for "child".
The Bav curse by "Dustmother", or Chemoarish. However, as Chemoarish is sometimes mistakenly conflated with the Nightwatcher, it's uncertain which being the curse is intended to refer to.
== Trivia ==
* With an area of around 141,000 Km2, Bavland is around the size of Tajikistan.
== Notes ==
Bay of Elibath

The Bay of Elibath is a body of water north of Alethkar on Roshar.
The Bay of Elibath separates Alethkar from the northwest peninsula of Herdaz and the Reshi island of Akak. It borders the princedoms of Sadeas, Aladar, and Roion. The bay feeds into the Steamwater Ocean. The Alethi port of Dalilak sits on the Bay of Elibath.
During the Heraldic Epochs, the bay bordered both Rishir and Alethela.

Beacon

Beacon is a floating city on Canticle. It currently has a population of less than a hundred and thirty-five people. 
== Geography and Resources ==
It is unknown in what corridor Beacon flew before rebelling against the Cinder King. After rebelling they flew at the South Pole and near the equator.
Beacon needs sunhearts to fly, unlike on Union however, there are always volunteers from among the sick and the elderly.
== Layout ==
Like all cities on Canticle, Beacon is made of many smaller ships that can link together to be steered as one. The layout of the city changes as ships separate and recombine in different arrangements, but generally the farther out from the center one goes, the smaller the ships get. The largest ship containing the Chorus is always at the center.
== Politics ==
Beacon is ruled by the Greater Good, three old women by the names of Confidence, Compassion and Contemplation. When one of these women dies, a new member is appointed.
The Greater Good also elect a Lodestar, the Chief Navigator.
== History ==
Beacon was a Union between a smaller community and a number of people from Union. For most of its history it flew in an unknown corridor. At an unknown time the Cinder King conquered it and assigned a few people along with some Charred to rule it.
After some time the people decided to rebel against the Cinder King.
== Known Residents ==
* Elegy, Lodestar
* Compassion, Greater Good member
* Contemplation, Greater Good member
* Confidence, Greater Good member
* Jeffrey Jeffrey, city steward
* Solemnity Divine, lead engineer
* Rebeke
* Zeal

Beal

Beal is one of House Davar's guards before Lin Davar's later association with the Ghostbloods.
By the year , Beal was no longer one of House Davar's guards. Balat Davar noticed his absence, and compared the old guards, Beal and Ten, with Levrin and Rin, the newer ones. Balat considered Beal a soldier one could joke with, and almost a friend, unlike the new guards.

Beautiful Song

Beautiful Song is an Unkalaki on Roshar. She is Lunamor and Tuaka's youngest daughter. Because her mother's nickname is Song, she is sometimes referred to as "Little Song". Beautiful Song is presumably a nickname as well; her full name is unknown.
Beautiful Song hails from the Horneater Peaks. She arrives at the Shattered Plains with her family in after traveling for months to meet with Lunamor, who had sent them a message shortly after his arrival. During the trip, Beautiful Song's caravan was attacked by Voidbringers and her family defended themselves behind a pile of furniture; one of them managed to shoot a singer with an Unkalaki arrow. They were found by Bridge Four during a patrol and taken to Urithiru.
Beautiful Song was only four years old when the family reunited with Lunamor, and she did not remember him after he had been away for so long, breaking his heart.
In , Lunamor takes Beautiful Song and the rest of his family (except for Cord and Gift) back to the Horneater Peaks. They do not plan to return.

Bebid

Bebid is a priest, of unknown rank, to Brightvison, who achieved the First Heightening in the Hallandren Court of Gods prior to the Pahn Kahl rebellion.
He meets with Vasher at a restaurant in order to give him information on court politics regarding the movement from a faction in the court to attack Idris. Vasher exerted some sort of influence on Bebid, breaking him, which Bebid believed to have been difficult. He also tells Vasher about Bluefingers when he tells Vasher he is unable to help in his plans, as he moves in the wrong circles to provide the information.
== Notes ==
Bedes

Captain Bedes is an young noble in Luthadel.
He is left in charge of the Steel Gate during the Battle of Luthadel after Lord Penrod calls away the gate's initial commander Lord Culee. Sazed, who is also assigned to that gate, tries to encourage Bedes to order and lead the soldiers. Bedes does not believe that he can lead them, and asks Sazed to help.
During the koloss attack, Bedes is thrown by one and presumably doesn't survive.

Beggar (Kasitor)

Axies the Collector briefly interacts with a beggar in Kasitor. The beggar lives in an alley, which he claims is the finest in Kasitor, among trash and rotting vegetables.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is described as a "scraggly-bearded man" who is missing teeth and wearing a lavis sack. This eccentric man arranges rotting vegetables into a miniature map of a city and acts as a sort of deity to his miniature city, remarking that some of his imaginary citizens had been bad lately.
==History==
After spending a night researching alespren, Axies was assaulted and left for dead in the beggar's alley. The beggar woke the naked Aimian in the morning and demanded a rent payment. He also accused Axies of destroying "the temple of the northern god," "half of Hapron Street," a bakery, and several homes when he fell on the piles of trash. He then asked Axies if he is a "Voidbringer or a Herald?" Axies tricked the suspicious beggar into giving him a blanket for clothing by hinting that the "sacred cloth" would banish him from the alley.

Beggars' Feast

The Beggars' Feast is an Alethi tradition.
At each occasion, the host duplicates the feast and invite the poorest of people to share in their revelry.
In Alethkar, it is tradition at any banquet of the king to also feed the less fortunate. The Feast is held in a separate room in which any poor people may attend and eat the same as a the king and his guests.
Szeth walked through the Beggar's Feast on his way to assassinate Gavilar. While there, he witnesses a seemingly drunken old beggar speaking gibberish. The old beggar is the Herald Jezrien whom Dalinar visits when he needs alcohol. This Beggars' Feast was double the standard size.
The Beggars' Feast is cancelled by Queen Aesudan during the War of Reckoning.
After being stripped of his title by Queen Jasnah Kholin, former Highprince Ruthar is given the chance to take the Queen's charity from Beggars' Feasts, or to join the military as a new recruit.

Bek

Queen Bek the Fifteenth is a queen on Lumar and a known spore eater. She is reportedly the only person in recorded history on Lumar to be cured from her condition, and Xisis was allegedly involved. 
As Xisis claims he can only temporarily subdue the gestation, and not completely remove it, Bek may not have been entirely cured as histories claim. However, this could have been a lie to prevent Crow from trying to escape.

Beld

Beld is a member of Bridge Four on Roshar.
Beld serves as a member of Bridge Four under Highprince Torol Sadeas. He is not a slave, so this is likely due to some indiscretion as a soldier. He presumably fights in the Battle of the Tower with the rest of Bridge Four, although he is not mentioned by name. He is then freed from service under Sadeas when Highprince Dalinar Kholin trades his Shardblade, Oathbringer, for the freedom of the bridgemen.
Despite the fact that he has never been a slave, Beld receives the Bridge Four freedom tattoo on his forehead, composed of the glyph for freedom, as well as the date of their freedom and the words "Bridge Four".
Beld also serves as a member of the King's Guard, protecting King Elhokar. During Szeth's first attempt on Dalinar's life at the Pinnacle, Captain Kaladin sends Beld and Hobber ahead of the main group as an advanced guard. Beld is run through by Szeth's Honorblade and is killed instantly.
Kaladin remembers him, Jaks, Malop, Pedin, Rod, Mart, Goshel, Nalma, Dallet and the squad, and Tien while trying to say the Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners.

Beldre

Beldre is a half-skaa and half-noble steel Misting (aka a Coinshot) from Urteau on Scadrial.
She is Quellion's sister. She has deep auburn hair, green eyes and is described by Spook as being able to wear a skaa dress with "striking elegance". Beldre is naive and trusting, and is aware of these traits. She also demonstrates her inexperience when she shows up alone at Spook's hideout.
Beldre does not especially like confrontation, but will stand up for what she believes is right. When Spook first causes a scene during one of Quellion's speeches, she uses her Allomancy to stop him from killing one of the guards with a sword, although Spook assumes that Quellion is the Coinshot.
She later reveals herself as a Coinshot when defending her brother from Spook's Ruin-influenced attempt at murder.
She has a relationship with Spook after the Catacendre.

Bendal

Bendal was a Steel Inquisitor near the end of the Final Empire. 
He swore that Tevidian had fathered a half-breed child, and hunted Vin's half-brother, Reen, to get him to admit it. Reen died promising Vin had starved to death long ago, but Bendal remained convinced one was out there. 
After Vin Soothed Prelan Laird for Camon and his crew, Bendal hunted her, to eventually bring the evidence against Tevidian. However, Vin escaped the Canton of Finance Headquarters because Kelsier threw Bendal off Vin's trail.
Bendal was the lead Inquisitor who stopped Kelsier and Vin during their infiltration of Kredik Shaw.
Bendal eventually fought Kelsier at fountain square and was decapitated.

Bendthel

Bendthel is a Rosharan scholar who studied the Dawnchant and collected works created in the language.
The transcriptions from Bendthel's collected Dawnchant fill at least three codices. Ellista works from these codices while working on translations at the Jokasha Monastery. Ardent Urv comes to retrieve the copy from Ellista and ask her progress on deciphering the works. He thinks her reasoning might be applicable to the Covad Fragment he is studying.

Benneh

Benneh is an ardent on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Benneh is an intelligent, sunny, and spry man. He has an unusually long neck, and the skin under his chin sags. As an ardent, he also has a bald head.
== History ==
Brother Benneh worked as the head scientist over atmospheric measurements and excitedly reported to Navani in that temperature and pressure outside of Urithiru rose instead of fell before the advent of highstorms. He also confirmed that the temperature up on the Cloudwalk was in fact warmer than down below in the fields. When Navani suggested that perhaps that was only to be expected at high elevations, he referenced a book detailing measurements from trade expeditions to the Horneaters that disproved such an idea.

Bennitson

Bennitson is the author of Armies in Motion, a book about military tactics on Scadrial during the Final Empire.
While touting his own knowledge of military tactics to Elend Venture, Aradan Yomen used the phrase "distinct points". Elend immediately recognized this terminology from Bennitson's work, and ascertained that Yomen's knowledge of war was scholarly, rather than practical.
== Notes ==
Besk

Besk is a Machineborn in the State of Alornia, and chancellor to Emperor Kairominas. He helps Kai run the State, and monitors the Wode Scroll.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Besk's best attribute is his brain. Very intelligent, and very clever, Besk is the chancellor of Alornia for a reason.
== History ==
=== Before Unification ===
Not much is said of Besk's life before the unification of Alornia. He met Kai after the Liveborn had been adventuring for quite some time, centuries after Kai's birth, implying it was some time after Kai's 200th birthday. At some point after meeting Kai, a single drop of the draught of immortality was shared with him, granting Besk long life.
=== After Unification ===
Since the unification of Alornia, Besk has served as Kai's chancellor, a position somewhat similar to a secretary. He and Kai have daily meetings to keep Kai up to date on the happenings within his empire. Besk also keeps track of the Wode Scroll, and was able to convince Kai to finally stop rebelling against the Wode's demand to procreate. 
Besk accompanied Kai to investigate the first Border State that appeared. He aided Shale in trying to convince Kai to conquer the State, though he took a non-martial approach, tellilng Kai that trading with the natives would greatly help the empire, as well as please the scientists.
=== Maltese ===
Once Kai is in Maltese, Besk communicates with the Liveborn telepathically. Through this communication method, Besk is able to help Kai understand the Communal State better, thanks in part to research he had done beforehand.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Besk's appearance and personality are heavily influenced by his Concept. His looks are described as being troll-like; his limbs seem too long, robes too stiff, and his face is expressionless. He also has painted on eyebrows. 
Besk is a very intelligent man, and is willing to disobey Kai when necessary, something Kai feels no one else in the State would do. He's also incredibly clever, capable of turning even the most unlikely conversations into topics proving his point. He seems to enjoy mental math, and attempts to use logic to solve conflicts when possible.
