Jesker

Jesker is a religion practiced on Sel. It is one of the oldest religions on Sel, and was effectively exterminated when the Duladel Republic was overthrown by Hrathen. Many call Jesker a 'primitive' religion, though saying this was considered offensive to its followers.
Jesker appears to involve spirits. The Dor is referred to as the Jesker "overspirit". Jesker is said to look to the Dor and attempt to understand it. Followers of the Jesker religion strive to bring themselves in harmony with the Dor and subsequently with nature, and taught that everything knew of the Dor, except humans, who could be oblivious to it. Jesker also ascribed importance to the heaven's movements, and according to Hrathen, worshipped the moon.
The Jeskeri Mysteries are a religious cult that was related to Jesker, but Galladon insists it is a mockery of true Jesker, who did not have any true understanding of the Dor. 
The Jeskeri priests also teach that the Elantrians are damned.

Jeskeri Mysteries

The Jeskeri Mysteries is a religious cult on Sel which involves human sacrifice. It is an offshoot of Jesker which Galladon insists is a perversion of Jesker and scarcely related.
Jesker ascribes importance to the heaven's movements, like the moon, and the followers of the Mysteries frequently hold rituals on nights of the full moon.
When Hrathen first talked to Dilaf he wondered about his religious fervor and thought it more in line with the attitudes of followers of the Jeskeri Mysteries rather than those of Shu-Dereth.
Sarene discovered that King Iadon followed the Jeskeri Mysteries and had ritually sacrificed several female palace servants as petitions for supernatual intervention from the Jesker spirits.
== Practitioners ==
* King Iadon
* Many in the nation of Hrovell

Jest

Jest is a darkeyed man from Hearthstone in Alethkar on Roshar who grew up with Kaladin.
Jest was born into a typical Hearthstone family of the fourth or fifth nahn. His parents are farmers, and his father spent time as a soldier. He is of the Vorin faith and refers to the ardents' teachings that men must become warriors to fight for the Tranquiline Halls. Kaladin cites Jest's name as an example of a 'solid, Alethi darkeyes' names, unlike his own.
As a child, Jest worked in the lavis fields outside of Hearthstone with the other darkeyed children of the village, helping to keep the polyps free of diggerworms. When they were not working, Jest played with the other children in the village, including his brother Jost, Tift, Mord, Naget, and Khav. Jest and the other children were bitter that Kaladin was able able to stay inside during the day, not realizing that he worked hard at his studies all day long.
In , Jest observed a fight between Kaladin and Jost.
== Notes ==
Jevena

Jevena is King Gavilar Kholin's head ardent on Roshar.
== Appearance & Personality ==
She is an older, bony woman who is short sighted and has to wear glasses. She relates choices made, by herself and others, to the Vorin faith and has a tendency to use all available opportunities to preach about the Almighty.
== History ==
Despite her deep commitment to the Almighty, Jevena readily accepted Evi Kholin, regardless of her pagan beliefs, when she was first betrothed to Dalinar Kholin. Jevena saw an opportunity to convert the woman to Vorinism.
She led King Gavilar's funeral, held in the Royal Catacombs in Kholinar, giving a eulogy for the deceased king as well as reading the ritual sayings, a collection of traditional and personal keteks. Like many of those in attendance, she found the Soulcaster to be unnerving and preferred to keep at a distance when they transformed the king's body into stone. After the Soulcaster was finished and the statue of Gavilar was in place, King Elhokar, in front of those who had been in attendance, swore the other Highprinces to war against the Parshendi and created the Vengeance Pact.
== Notes ==
Jewels

Jewels is a female mercenary from Hallandren and a Drab. 
==Appearance and Personality==
Jewels is a short woman who is "thick through the thighs and through the bust" with light brown hair that comes down to her shoulders. 
She is usually blunt and irritable, which Denth attributes to her inherent personality. Vivenna correctly believes it is caused or exacerbated by her lack of Breath. Jewels hates being judged and abhors being pitied even more. When Vivenna offers Jewels sympathy for her lost breath, Jewels berates her for her high-and-mighty attitude.
== History ==
Unlike Denth and Tonk Fah, Jewels was from Hallandren, specifically T'Telir and believed in the Iridescent Tones. Jewels comes from a family of eight, with a mother, father, and five siblings. Jewels' parents sold their breath to start a dye business while she was young. Her father slipped and injured his back, preventing him from working, which drove the family to destitution. Seeing the suffering of her starving siblings, she chose to give her Breath to the God King at the age of eleven, which she and her family considered a great honor. For her donation, she was compensated well enough to keep her family fed for a year. This allowed her father to recover, reopen the family dye business, and eventually pass it on to her brothers who currently operate it.
Jewels was a member of Denth's crew. Her function in the team was to direct and maintain Clod, which she put a lot of effort into learning how to do. She originally joined Denth's team to be near Arsteel, with whom she was in love. His death 'unhinged' her a little, and after they turned Arsteel's corpse into a Lifeless, she took over his care and still regularly talked to him, occasionally going so far as to sleep with the Lifeless.
Jewels spent the first few weeks after Vivenna's arrival in the city tailing her and did not meet Vivenna face to face for some time.
After Denth's death, Jewels took Clod to Yesteel in the hopes that he could find some way to restore Arsteel's memory and personality.
== Cultural Views ==
Jewels is a firm believer in the Hallandren stereotypes about Idrians. She states that she is annoyed by the Idrians' high and mighty attitude and their belief that those from Hallendren are blasphemers. She believes that offering Breath is no worse than offering a child to the Idrian monastery to live a life of eternal servitude.
Jewels believes wholeheartedly that the Returned have the peoples' best interests at heart, and that sacrificing Breath to them is a way to live on inside of the Returned, and that it makes one a part of the kingdom in a way that few others are.
== Trivia ==
* Brandon intends for Jewels appear in the Warbreaker sequel, taking Clod to meet Yesteel.

Jez's Duty

Jez's Duty is a winehouse in Urithiru on Roshar. It is likely named after the Herald Jezrien and is located in the Ten Rings section of the Breakaway marketplace.
== History ==
Adolin Kholin began to frequent Jez's Duty around eight months before the evacuation of Hearthstone. He made Kaladin go with him from time to time, including the day when Jor and Kryst held their wedding party there. After the coalition's army left for the offensive in Emul, the activity level noticeably dropped in the winehouse. Kaladin and Teft chose it as the place to meet Rlain when they were searching for Dabbid. During that meeting, Raboniel managed to turn the tower's defense mechanisms back on the Knights Radiant, causing Teft to fall unconscious.
After the occupation of the tower was overthrown, Jez's Duty was the location of a party in honor of Teft after his funeral. Aside from the party, Kaladin arranged a meeting with Noril, Dabbid, and the other members of his talk therapy group that day at the winehouse, in order to decompress from the stressful events of Urithiru's occupation. When Adolin and Shallan finally returned from their trip to Lasting Integrity, they wanted to meet up with Kaladin at Jez's Duty to catch up. Kaladin reluctantly declined the offer, as he needed to leave for Shinovar right away.
== Establishment Culture ==
The interior of Jez's Duty is decorated as a stormshelter, with fabrial clocks on the wall showing when a highstorm is happening in Alethkar. The winehouse holds a daily vigil for Alethkar and occasionally hosts an ardent, who comes to burn glyphwards. It is typically patronized by darkeyes and, especially, soldiers. Adolin Kholin frequents Jez's Duty and has a reserved booth at the back; this is a point of pride for the establishment, especially since the atmosphere tends to be more raucous and closer to that of a tavern than that of a typical winehouse. When Shallan visits, she tends to carve the table with different bits of art.

Jial

Jial is a singer on Roshar.
She was part of the group of singers led by Venli who hoped to escape the Fused. She was present in Urithiru during the singer occupation. After Venli got a map of the tunnels underneath the tower from Lirin, she gave it to Jial. After Urithiru was liberated, Jial presumably traveled to the Shattered Plains with the rest of Venli's group.

JinDo

JinDo is a nation on Sel. It is located on the continent of Opelon, and is part of the Fjordell Empire. It is bordered by Duladel to the north and Jaador to the east.
The JinDo people have dark brown skin and fine features. Jaadorians are ethnically JinDo, while Dula peoples are both of JinDo and Aonic heritage. The people of MaiPon, part of the Rose Empire, are distantly related to the JinDo.
== Culture ==
As followers of Shu-Keseg, the JinDo people follow the principle of unity through acceptance, preferring peace and openness above all. When the Fjordell Empire began to expand, the JinDo people decided to submit to Fjordell rule and outwardly convert to Shu-Dereth in order to avoid fighting.
The work of prestigious JinDo philosophers, mathematicians, and artists are well-known in other lands. Shu-Dereth, the official religion of the Fjordell Empire, has its origins in JinDo, as does the Shu-Korath religion prevalent in Teod and Arelon. Like the Svordish, the JinDo language has managed to survive Fjordell hegemony, perhaps due to the influence of JinDo culture throughout the empire.
There is a meditative martial art originating from JinDo called ChayShan, which can be used to help people focus their minds. This martial art is also the manifestation of Investiture in the region. JinDo practitioners of ChayShan can use certain body movements to magically enhance themselves, though this effect appears to be temporary.
The JinDo people are also known for their use of eating utensils called MaiPon sticks, as well as their strict views on health. Obesity is frowned upon, although some JinDo foods are greasy, like HaiKo. Spicy dishes are common in JinDo cuisine, and the nation is a major exporter of spices like RaiDel peppers.
== Notable JinDo People ==
* Keseg, also known as Keshu: Founder of the Shu-Keseg religion, from which Shu-Dereth and Shu-Korath branched off.
* Atsuko: A JinDo artist who once visited the Rose Empire.
* Baron Shuden: A JinDo merchant living in Arelon and one of Raoden's friends.
== Trivia ==
* In the first published edition of Elantris, as well as in The Emperor's Soul, the term "Jindoeese" was used to describe things originating from the nation of Jindo. This was changed in the tenth anniversary edition of Elantris such that "JinDo" is now used as the nation's name, demonym, and adjectival form.
== Notes ==
Jix

Jix is a guard for House Davar in Jah Keved on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
Jix is a lighteyes of the eighth dahn. He has a gut, but is very strong. He rarely combs his hair and often chews yamma root. While performing his guard duties, he wears a weapon, likely a sword.
Despite being of a low dahn, he exhibits the typical lighteyed disdain for darkeyed people. He is loyal to House Davar and serves Lin for over a decade, and he has a good rapport with the Davar children. He presumably has a penchant for gambling.
==History==
Jix accompanied the Davar household to the Middlefest Fair in . He followed Shallan when she slipped away from Lin and walked around the festival. He grudgingly accompanied her into the gambling pavilion, and was relieved when he realized that she was just looking for Balat in order to deliver a letter from Eylita Tavinar. Several people in the gambling pavilion said hello to Jix.
Jix and his fellow guard Ekel were present when Mill attempted to extort Lin over Jushu Davar's debts. He was armed and prepared to fight, if necessary. Jix seemed a bit baffled that Lin refused to pay Mill and allowed him to take Jushu.
Jix and the other Davar household guards that Shallan had grown up with were later replaced after the Ghostbloods took interest in Lin Davar and Luesh was installed as his house steward. The guards who replaced Jix and his colleagues were far more brutal and bloody, and the Davar children wished that the old guards were still around.
== Notes ==
JoSeun

The JoSeun Empire was a nation on Earth originating from Asia.
In the history of the Rithmatist, the Mongols were turned to work for the JoSeun empire during the Koreo Dynasty. 
The empire invaded and conquered Europe, forcing King Gregory III to flee Britannia and seek refuge in the United Isles of America.
The JoSeun are mentioned as being devoutly Buddhist. 
== Etymology ==
The name perhaps comes from Joseon, a Korean state that lasted from 1392 to 1897.
== Notes ==
Joan Sheldon

Joan Sheldon was one of Alcatraz Smedry's latest foster parents, along with her husband Roy Sheldon. Ms. Fletcher claims Joan is one of the city's finest chefs.
== History ==
Joan and her husband took over caring of Alcatraz Smedry around eight months prior to his thirteenth birthday. After Alcatraz destroyed their kitchen while attempting to make noodles, having lost control of his Talent again, she was all for getting rid of Alcatraz. The destruction of the kitchen was only the most recent occurrence of destruction caused by Alcatraz, with it all being too much to handle for Joan, just like it had for all the previous carers of him. Ms. Fletcher praised Joan and her husband for how long they lasted with looking after Alcatraz, well aware of his destructive tendencies.
During Alcatraz's escape from the Librarian disguised as a foster care caseworker who tried to kill him, Leavenworth Smedry drove a car into the Sheldon's house. This was later repaired by Librarians before either of the Sheldon's noticed and sometime prior to Alcatraz coming back after his defeat of Blackburn. Despite earlier words said by Joan about Alcatraz, she was relieved to see him again when he returned.
== Notes ==
Jochi

Jochi is the pen name of a scholar from Thaylen City on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
Jochi is known to the world as a female philosopher, but in reality he is a potbellied baker in his sixties who runs a pastry shop in Thaylen City. Neither his true name nor the motivation for his anonymity have been revealed. He has a jocular personality, but can also be solemn.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Jochi is a Veristitalian and a friend of Jasnah Kholin and Ethid. Jasnah notes that Jochi is extremely intelligent; he is one of the few people that is her equal as a historical scholar.
==History==
It is not clear how long Jochi has known Ethid and Jasnah, but the three of them studied under the same master and seem to have a close relationship. They stay in regular contact using spanreeds, using passcodes to identify themselves.
After arriving in Urithiru, Jasnah contacted both Jochi and Ethid through intermediaries at a spanreed hub in Tashikk. It was the first time that they had heard from her after her disappearance during the sinking of the Wind's Pleasure, as she lost her spanreeds at the time. Jochi was happy to hear from Jasnah and expressed a desire to visit Urithiru, although he did not want to risk revealing his true identity. The three colleagues discussed current events; Jochi was skeptical of Ethid's claim that Nale was still alive and active on Roshar. Jochi mentioned a sighting of Axies the Collector and reported on the state of Thaylenah, including the fact that singers had stolen most of their fleet. He also gave Jasnah a description of the unnamed spren of the Order of Truthwatchers. This later became relevant at the Battle of Thaylen Field when Jasnah saw Glys and knew that something was wrong with his appearance.
Upon meeting some of the Heralds in person, Jasnah noted that her many historical debates with Jochi had been rendered irrelevant since the Heralds had actually lived through the entire known history of Roshar.

John (Rithmatist)

John is a Rithmatics student at Armedius Academy.
He and Luc were in Professor Layton's mathematics class with Joel Saxon, indicating that the two Rithmatists needed a remedial course on geometry basics. The two of them usually sat in the rear of the class, and they conveyed a deep disinclination to be in the same class as non-Rithmatists.
== Notes ==
Johnst

Johnst is a farmer in the Elendel Basin.
== History ==
In , Johnst was arrested for using explosives to destroy a dam near Corbeau. His sabotage left dozens dead, flooded the region, destroyed crops, and caused grain shortages. Johnst claimed that he only wanted to ruin his neighbor's harvest, and that the explosion was larger than he had intended.
He behaved erratically during his trial and was unable to remember the names of his children. His lawyers tried to claim that he had gone insane, but he was sentenced to be hanged. Afterwards, he refused a final meal and asked that the execution be over with quickly. His grave was desecrated two days after his burial, allegedly by those who lost family in the flooding.
Marasi and MeLaan deduced from his story that he had been killed and replaced by Bleeder. They postulated that she had used him to try to sow further chaos in the Elendel Basin.
== Notes ==
Jokasha Monastery

Jokasha Monastery, sometimes referred to simply as Jokasha, is the home of the Devotary of the Mind, a scholarly group of ardents on Roshar. It is considered a peaceful and desirable location, with many ardents spending half their lives trying to get transferred there.
== Location ==
The monastery is in Jah Keved, on the western slopes of the Horneater Peaks. It lies in a forest and has protection from the violence of the highstorms. The relatively weak storms make the area lush, but humid. Despite it's humidity, the western slope of the Horneater Peaks only receives rain at the passing of a highstorm.
== Structure ==
The Jokasha Monastery is made up of a lower building and a higher building connected by a tree-lined pathway. The buildings are adjacent to the forest and ardents are free to study outside. The upper building contains a library attached to a long hallway open to the outdoors. There are open windows and reading desks to work at.
== History ==
Although Jokasha was thought of as a peaceful place, there is more bickering and politicking than outsiders would expect. The atmosphere was further disturbed with the advent of the Everstorm. The location had previously been protected from the worst violence of the highstorms, but the Everstorm destroyed some of the surrounding forest. This led to impassioned arguments among the ardents, including the master scholars. Some, like Bettam, claimed that they needed to move the monastery to a new location before the entire area was wiped out. The ardents studied the wind speed and travel speed of the Everstorm to learn more about it.
It was also one of the locations where the Dawnchant was studied and translated. This research was started before the Everstorm came, when Navani sent a key based on Dalinar's visions. Ellista's study disproved Fiksin's claim that all Dawnchant books originated at the same location, instead explaining that it was the written language of scholars used across Roshar. She theorized that Dawnchant fell into disuse and was replaced by other written languages after a Desolation. Urv realized that the Covad Fragment was an example of a transition period where the Dawnchant was used to phonetically write a different language. 
Since the ardents were on the cutting edge of Dawnchant research, it is likely that Jokasha Monastery was one of the Veden monasteries that began translating ancient Dawnchant texts, including the Eila Stele.
== Notes ==
Jom

Jom is a cobbler in Kholinar.
He broke his arm before the Siege of Kholinar. 
Grund knew of Jom, and suggested to Veil that Jom would be a good candidate to give extra food to, along with many other candidates. However, the Grips killed all of Grund's friends for the food and terrorized anyone who received food, so it is possible Jom is now dead.
== Notes ==
