Nightblood (book)

Nightblood is the working title for the sequel to Warbreaker. It is currently on hold, and probably the cosmere book most in jeopardy of not being written, besides maybe a Threnody novel. It probably will have to wait for the Elantris trilogy, Mistborn Era 3, and potentially Stormlight Archive 6 to be written, as those projects are consuming much of Brandon's time.
At one point, Brandon was planning on publicly releasing drafts as he wrote, as he did with Warbreaker, though it is unclear if that is still the case.
It will not feature all the characters from Warbreaker; the original plan was to center the story on Vasher, Vivenna, Nightblood and further develop their characters. Characters like Susebron and Siri may get some updates, but would not be the focus of the book. Brandon also plans to introduce new characters; a recent outline also includes a married couple that, for political reasons, acts like they hate each other.
The book would focus heavily on the story of the Five Scholars, including how Vasher became cosmere aware and travelled to Roshar, as well as his history with Denth. Vasher and Vivenna would be attempting to stop Yesteel, who recently learned how to create Awakened Shardblades and attempted to start a second Manywar. Jewels and Clod might join him, while Tonk Fah could feature, but would likely go in his own direction.
There are several questions about Nalthis and its magic that Brandon has mentioned addressing in the book, including the origin of the Idrian royal family, how other regions of Nalthis interact with Returned, and how Vasher suppressed his divine Breath.
Chronologically, it should be the cosmere book that immediately precedes The Way of Kings and should help explain how Nightblood got to Roshar, though Vasher's arrival on Roshar will occur between this book and The Way of Kings.

Nightmare Flight

Nightmare Flight is a group of DDF pilots. Callsign: Nose is flight leader of Nightmare Flight. The Flight graduated in the class prior to Skyward Flight. At least one of the Flight members flies a Poco. 
== History ==
Nightmare Flight were on rest and relaxation down in the deep caverns when Skyward Flight was first called into duty, they later relieved Skyward Flight after they acted as decoy reinforcements.
As part of their training, Skyward Flight was paired with Nightmare Flight for a routine debris tagging mission. During that time, Spensa and FM were offered positions on Nightmare Flight by Nose after he witnessed their skill with light-lances. Afterwards, the group was attacked by the Krell and meant to receive reinforcement from Riptide Flight. Before those arrived, however, Spensa was shot down, forcing her to eject and avoid crashing.
Later, Nightmare Flight participated in the Second Battle of Alta.

Nightmaw

Nightmaws are enormous bird-like predators native to the island Patji in the Pantheon on First of the Sun.
==Appearance==
Nightmaws are bipedal quadrupeds, standing on powerful back legs that bear most of their weight; they look somewhat similar to feathered dinosaurs or giant birds. They have long necks and would be as tall as a tree if they stood upright, but they instead they lean forward in a predatory posture. Despite their large size, the nightmaws are also very fast. A nightmaw's two clawed forelegs hanging low, tearing up the ground when they move. They have a gruesome head with a razor sharp beak that is as tall as a door. A nightmaw's skin is leathery and bumpy, like a plucked bird.
== Behavior and Abilities ==
Nightmaws are nocturnal. Many of a nightmaw's normal senses are relatively dull, as they are almost completely deaf and blind; however, their sense of smell is incredible, and they have the ability to track minds by detecting the Cognitive activity of their prey. This makes them extremely dangerous predators. They are also clever, for beasts; in fact, some think nightmaws have begun to realize that humans make use of the mind-shielding Aviar and can only be tracked by scent.
When out at night, a trapper's only options are to avoid them or die. Nightmaws' thick skin is nearly impervious to regular bladed weapons, although it is vulnerable to larger gunpowder-based weapons such as Vathi's spear cannon. The nightmaw's skill at hunting makes it the apex predator on at least Patji, although it is uncertain if they exist on any of the other islands of the Pantheon.
Nightmaws call out with a horrible screech when they detect prey or are attempting to scare their prey. One of their chief prey are herds of krell, which often sleep beneath Aviar nests to keep their minds hidden from the nightmaws. A nightmaw's screech can scare away the nesting Aviar, revealing the locations of the sleeping krell. A dying nightmaw may also screech in a different way, quieter but more horrible and chilling, which may call other nearby nightmaws.
== History ==
When Vathi and Sixth of the Dusk crossed Patji at night to prevent employees of the Northern Interests Trading Company from engaging the machine from the Ones Above, a nightmaw came across their trail. It followed them, bursting out of the trees and surprising them. However, Vathi shot it with her spear cannon, mortally wounding it. In its death throes, its call attracted other nightmaws from across the island. Dusk and Vathi fled up the canyon to Patji's Eye, pursued by the other nightmaws. Trapped in the pool, Vathi and Sixth lashed one of the blooming flowers from Patji's Fingers to a spear and fired it from the gun. As the flowers mimic Cognitive activity, the nightmaws were distracted by the flower and followed it away, allowing Dusk and Vathi to escape.

Nightstorm Flight

Nightstorm Flight is a group of DDF pilots. There were nine original members of the Flight, including Nedd's two brothers. Both of them fly Sigo-class fighters suggesting that this ship may be used by all members in this squad. Their fighters are painted blue, which helps distinguish which flight they are.
Nightstorm Flight participated in the fight over the first falling shipyard. During the battle, Vent and his brother flew into the shipyard and unfortunately died while inside.
Nightstorm Flight was present in the battle against the Superiority when Brade summoned a delver outside Detritus.
== Known members ==
* Vent
* Nightstorm pilot seven
== Notes ==
Nightstorm pilot seven

Nightstreet Gang

The Nightstreet Gang is a criminal organization that operates near Ironstand on Scadrial.
== History ==
By , the Nightstreet Gang was a known and established gang in the area around Ironstand, though the Elendel constabulary did not seem to be particularly aware of them. They typically targeted cities in or near the Roughs, though Constable Matieu of Ironstand felt they were getting bolder and beginning to hit targets closer to the center of the Elendel Basin, likely because there were not enough resources available for them to take in the areas closer to the Roughs. They are led by Donny, a koloss-blooded. They do not wear masks, likely because they are already known criminals and have nothing to lose.
In Cladence of , Kelesina Shores—at the direction of Edwarn Ladrian—hired the Nightstreet Gang to attack Waxillium Ladrian in the hopes of distracting him from his pursuit of the Set. The gang did so, attacking the train that he, Wayne, Steris, Marasi, and MeLaan were taking to New Seran shortly before it reached Ironstand. The gang was well-equipped for this attack; they used a chemical weapon to incapacitate the guards protecting an Erikell payroll shipment, had something similar to gas masks to protect themselves and a Coinshot, who broke open the armored cargo car and fought Wax, attempted to use dynamite to blow up the train's coal tender, and were accompanied by Irich of the Set, who used a primer cube to disable Wax's Allomancy.
Despite these resources, however, the gang seemed to be unaware of the true purpose of their mission, as they attacked the entire train, focusing on securing the Erikell payroll shipment, rather than attacking Wax specifically. Indeed, they seemed surprised at Wax's presence and their tactics suggest they were expecting his car to be full of rich people who would easily turn over money rather than Allomancers. They also seemed to be inexperienced at robbing trains; rather than forcing the train to stop, they attack it from horseback, as if they are more familiar with how train robberies happen in stories than in reality.
As a result of their inexperience at robbing trains and lack of preparations for enemy Allomancers, the attack went incredibly poorly for the gang. Though some members did manage to successfully escape with the Erikell payroll early in the fight and others, including Irich, escaped by jumping into a river next to the tracks, Constable Matieu believed that over half the gang was killed or captured and that the captured members will give him a good lead on the rest of the gang.
== Known Members ==
* Donny, the leader, a small, spirited koloss-blooded man.

Nightwielder

Nightwielder is a High Epic that is part of Steelheart's inner circle. He is the one responsible for Newcago's constant darkness. 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Nightwielder is tall with short hair, and is thought by David to be of Japanese descent. He is described as only being "half-there," although when he is corporeal, he looks frail. He typically has a pool of dark mist around him, although he can easily turn this mist into solid tendrils of darkness, which can be seen moving through the air. In his full glory, Nightwielder appears to be clothed in night, with darkness writhing around him. 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
===Epic Abilities===
;Incorporeality: He can pass through matter and no weapon can harm him while in this form. Nightwielder is almost never seen in corporeal form.
;Darkness: Nightwielder is powerful enough to keep the entire city of Newcago dark except for the light from Calamity.
;Dark mist: Nightwielder exudes a dark mist that pools around him. The mist can be controlled by him and be given solid form, for example, a spear that can impale someone.
;Flight: At a few points in Steelheart, Nightwielder displays the ability to levitate and fly. This ability appears to go in tandem with incorporeality. 
=== Epic Weakness ===
Nightwielder becomes corporeal whenever he has UV light shining on him. This doesn't affect the large-scale darkness. It has been theorized that this is due to him having had skin cancer at some point before he became an Epic.
== History==
During the unexpected encounter in Diamond's weapon shop, David confirmed his suspicion that Nightwielder's weakness is UV by pretending to have accidentally activated a UV camera. Uncertain whether this was deliberate or not, Nightwielder chose not to attack. Nightwielder was killed by David Charleston's exploitation of his weakness during the Reckoners' assassination of Steelheart. 
== Notes ==
Nightwind

Nightwind is a fungus on the Pantheon.
Its spores are an effective deterrent, and are cultivated by trappers. The spores can be trapped by pouring water over the fungus.
Dusk cultivated a patch of the fungi for years on Patji, and while Vathi she made her way towards Dusk's safecamp, she poured water over the nightwind fungi to prevent its spores from spreading.

Nikolin

Nikolin is a wealthy patron of the First Central Bank on Scadrial. He has a very good credit history and has never missed a payment.
== History ==
In around , when Waxillium Ladrian was twelve years old, his uncle Edwarn brought him to the First Central Bank to teach him about banking. Edwarn and Wax observed two men seeking loans, a tall, clean man named Nikolin and a dusty poor man named Jendel. Nikolin had come seeking a loan to finance the purchase of a new boat, while Jendel was seeking a loan so he could lift himself and his family out of the slums and into the middle class. Nikolin was annoyed that he had to come to the bank in person, rather than sending a steward.
Edwarn told Wax that most banks would only lend money to Nikolin. However, he had instituted a policy wherein the First Central Bank would loan money to riskier debtors, but with unfavorable loan terms such as extremely high interest rates and potential wage garnishment. Edwarn had also marketed aggressively to people that would not normally qualify for a loan. Edwarn and his colleagues had effectively invented subprime lending in Elendel.
== Notes ==
Nilto

Nilto is a man in Kezare also known as the "Lord Beggar". 
His face appears disfigured and is covered in wrappings. He is an acquaintance of the Darksider Loaten. Ais believes that Nilto is the crime lord known as Sharezan.

Nissiqqan

Nissiqqan is a scribe in the city of Yeddaw in Tashikk on Roshar. He is the deputy scribe of immigration on duty at Hauka's post on the day that Lift arrives at the city. 
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is an older man with a furrowed face and a cleft chin. He is seen wearing glasses and a yellow shiqua, and carries folders containing various forms and documents. He likes to be out in the sun. He is very knowledgeable regarding local taxes and ordinances, but is willing to overlook petty crimes if appropriate reparations are paid. He displays a measure of benevolence in his concern for refugees. 
He has some infused spheres, which are rare in the area at the time; Hauka plans to trade him some interesting information for the spheres so that she can read at night.
== History ==
He and Hauka reviewed an unusually well-dressed farmer's papers, and concluded that he was actually smuggling in grain that was raided in Emul. Nissiqqan suggested a triple tariff, with the money going to help feed refugees.
Lift suddenly appeared; she brushed past him while evading Hauka, and he dropped his folders.
== Notes ==
Nistar

Nistar is a nightform Regal on Roshar. Nistar translates into "mystery".
== History ==
During the singer occupation of Urithiru, Lezian posted Nistar and Urialin to guard the Radiant infirmary where Lirin and Hesina worked, likely at Raboniel's suggestion.
== Trivia ==
* Their name likely comes from the Hebrew word "nistar" (נסתר) which means "hidden".
== Notes ==
Niter

Niter is the head of the Cobalt Guard in Alethkar on Roshar during the War of Reckoning.
==Appearance and Personality==
Niter is a tan-skinned lighteyes, and he wears a short black beard. He presumably wears the dark blue uniform of the Cobalt Guard. He is naturally suspicious, although Dalinar notes that this is not a bad trait in a bodyguard. He is excited by the prospect of watching a Shardbearer in action. Zahel thought of him as a good man.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Although Niter is lighteyed, he is of a low dahn. He served the Cobalt Guard for years, presumably working his way up to become their captain. He is personally acquainted with the leadership of House Kholin on the Shattered Plains including Dalinar and Adolin, who hold him in high regard. He is also friends with Zahel and likely worked with him often due to the Cobalt Guard's training in swordsmanship.
==History==
It is not known when Niter became head of the Cobalt Guard, but he was part of the group for a number of years. The Guard was well-run under his leadership; the members were exceptionally brave and loyal.
He was present when the Kholins received a messenger from Highprince Thanadal declining a meeting with Dalinar. Niter personally helped intercept the messenger and had the Cobalt Guard clear a space around Dalinar and Adolin so that they could discuss the message. Dalinar then asked Niter to retrieve his Shardhammer and Niter seemed to think that he was going to do something impressive with it. Dalinar thought Niter would probably be disappointed since he planned to use the hammer to dig a latrine ditch.
Prior to the Battle of the Tower, Niter and the Cobalt Guard helped Adolin prepare for the battle. They brought him his Ryshadium, Sureblood. Niter presumably died during the battle, as most of the Cobalt Guardsmen were killed fighting alongside Dalinar and Adolin after Sadeas's betrayal. Zahel later said that he died keeping the Kholin men alive.
Niter was succeeded as head of the Cobalt Guard by Kaladin, who had great respect for the Guard and integrated the few surviving members with Bridge Four. 
Dalinar mentioned that Niter was among the few people he would have trusted to investigate the murders of Torol Sadeas and Vedekar Perel in Urithiru if he were still alive.
== Notes ==
Nlent

Nlent is a squat Thaylen guard on Vstim's caravan. He and Kylrm accompany Rysn when she goes onto Relu-na to trade. When they come across Axies on the way up, Nlent warns Rysn to stay away from him, showing some knowledge of the abilities of Aimians, though it is tainted by superstition. He carries a charm of courage on his wrist: a small item that has no magical properties but serves as a reminder to the wearer to show courage and passion. 
== Notes ==
Noodle Pupil

The Noodle Pupil, later known as the Noodle Princess, is a noodle restaurant in Kilahito on Komashi. It contains both tables and a bar, the latter of which has heated circular nooks carved into the wood to keep the bowls of noodles warm. In addition to noodles, the establishment also serves rice, which is used to soak up leftover broth. While Design runs the establishment, she offers discounts of prime number percentages. Without a discount, a bowl of noodles generally costs two hundred kon.
== History ==
The Noodle Pupil was founded by Design, a Cryptic from Roshar who bonded with Hoid. After arriving on the planet, Hoid froze in time due to protections he put on himself to stop his memories from being tampered with again. Design started the shop with help from the assistant cook Namakudo, and attracted lots of nightmare painters who would visit after hours or during breaks. During the month that Yumi and Nikaro were swapping bodies, they visited many times. During one visit, Designed lengthened Nikaro's Connection to Yumi. On another visit, Design used a fabrial of Hoid's to check Yumi's spiritweb and found that her Investiture was off the charts, that she had had memories removed, and that she had very few connections. It was here that Nikaro recruited his friends to fight off the army of nightmares that was coming. Once Hoid was unfrozen, Design willed the shop's ownership to Yumi and Painter, who later renamed it the 'Noodle Princess.'
