Mammoth starpod

The mammoth starpod is an enormous creature with dozens of long white tentacles. It inhabits large asteroids or other bodies of rock, making its home there and using its tentacles to snare food. Its appearance resembles that of a giant flower. Each arm has feeler tubes on it, which they use can grab food. It eats mostly minerals and space matter. It is not good at identifying objects, and sometimes will not realize that it has grabbed something it doesn’t want to eat until it’s already in its mouth. Mammoth starpods go through a molting season, and are particularly hungry as the molting season approaches.
The starpod’s tentacles are several kilometers long and several wingspans wide. The tentacles are whitish in color, with smaller purplish stalks growing up the middle of each one. The starpod’s mouth has thousands of long ivory tongues arranged in circles around its mouth. They look like teeth, but are flexible and wavy. It uses these to help pull its prey in.
The Superiority is interested in mammoth starpods, and has set up a research station to study at least one of them.

Mandra

Mandras are a type of spren on Roshar. In the Physical Realm they are called luckspren, chasmspren or apaliki'tokoa'a. In Shadesmar, they are used for transportation.
==Appearance==
===Shadesmar===
Mandras have triangular shaped heads, which are the exact same shape as those that are found near greatshells in the Physical Realm. They come in a variety of sizes; the ones used for pulling ships in Shadesmar are much larger than luckspren that appear in the Physical Realm. Their bodies are long, sinuous with multiple sets of legs and multiple sets of undulating wings along their bodies. The wings move at a regular rhythm.
===Physical Realm===
Luckspren have the appearance of tiny, blue, arrowhead-like fish that dart around the creature they're swarming in the general direction of its travel. The shape of their heads correspond to the triangular heads of the Mandras. Luckspren are often found near greatshells, chasmfiends, skyeels, anything that is lighter than it appears to be. They appear in swarms around Skyeels. When they disappear from the physical realm it is like a small plume of smoke rising into the air.
==Abilities==
Mandras are the spren who bond with greatshells, chasmfiends, and larkin, preventing them from being crushed under their own weight. This was discovered by Bavamar with mathematical calculations. Mandras from different locations can be different sizes and strengths, and a greatshell may need to return multiple times during their lifecycle to bond additional mandras so they can continue growing. Mandras seem to avoid the rules of physics and their wings are not the source of their locomotion. They can be pushed to exhaustion.
Mandras have a tendency to vanish, called "dropping". This occurs when they get pulled into the Physical Realm. They cannot be removed from human population centres for long as they begin to waste away and die. Why this happens is unknown to the Reachers who use them to pull their ships.
Mandras are seen to be used in Shadesmar to pull ships by Reachers, honorspren, and most likely any other ship crew as every ship in Celebrant has them. They are harnessed with a set of pulleys on either side of their body. To steer them in either direction the sailors shorten one of the pulleys and tie it off on cleats connected to the sides of the ship. The Mandras hooked to the honorspren ship have golden harnesses and they employ more than just two, having Mandras attached to wings on the side of their ship.
Because of Mandras' tendency to "drop" the sailors always employ at least two Mandras so they do not end up stranded. Once the ships have docked the Mandras are detached from the ship using long hooks and lead away. Adolin wonders if they are attached to the stern of the ship to pull them from the docks but given that Adolin is Alethi, a people who are infamous for knowing little about sailing, this is to be taken with a grain of salt.
Mandras do not seem to like fire. Their sailors try to control and move them away when Ico's ship is burning.
==Mythology==
Legends tell of luckspren leading to treasure.

Mantiz

Mantiz is a city in the Western Dominance of the Final Empire on Scadrial.
== Geography ==
Mantiz lies in the far north of the Western Dominance, and is of a respectable size for the area. 
Only one of the Ashmounts, Torinost, lies near Mantiz. This means that a bit less ash falls there than in Luthadel, but because nobody has organized an effort to clean it up, the city is almost drowning in it.
Mantiz has four massive keeps breaking its skyline, one of them being Keep Shezler.
== Architecture ==
The buildings in Mantiz are rounded, have no corners, and are rarely symmetrical. The buildings have an organic feel, look unfinished, and are constructed of stone with hardened mud outside. Like in other places in the Western Dominance, some of the buildings in Mantiz have irregularly shaped windows.
== History ==
During Kelsier's Mistborn training with Gemmel they visited Mantiz, at least long enough for Kelsier to get in touch with the local underground. On a certain night they infiltrated Keep Shezler. Inside Kelsier fought with and killed Antillius Shezler, another Mistborn, and afterwards he freed Shezler's skaa prisoners and took his notebook containing rumours about an eleventh metal.

Manuel Estevez

Captain Manuel Estevez was a Spanish explorer. He explored the American Isles in search of gold with a group of other explorers. He is one of the first European explorers to discover chalklings
== History ==
His group crossed into a strange, narrow canyon Zona Arida Island. They found a group of small, human-shaped pictures on the canyon walls. Primitive figures, like ones left by cave-people. Estevez and the others made camp for the night. After the sun set, the pictures on the walls began to move. In a report that Estevez made of his expedition, Estevez described the drawings in detail. He wrote that the drawings weren’t scratched or carved, but drawn in chalk. He did drawings of the figures in his log, which survived to modern times. 
Joel Saxon read the Estevez report during his investigation of the Scribbler, and was intrigued by one of Estevez’s drawings, which depicts a Shadowblaze.

Maod

Maod is a member of the Ire's guard.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Kelsier notes that the Ire's guardsmen have fair skin and speak the same strange tongue (presumably Aonic) as the Elantrian members of the Ire, implying that the guardsmen are also Selish. Maod's presence outside of his own world qualifies him as a worldhopper, although he is likely able to exist in the Ire's fortress due to a special connection from the building to the Dor. 
== History ==
Maod was one of several guards assigned to watch duty on the roof of the Ire's fortress in the Cognitive Realm when Kelsier approached during his search for a way to stop Ruin. Although Kelsier had learned how to make himself nearly invisible, Maod was still able to spot him sneaking up to the fortress wall. However, he lost sight of Kelsier in the darkness before Kelsier entered the building.
Maod believed that he might have seen a shade (a Cognitive Shadow from Threnody), although his captain was skeptical. The captain and Maod reported the sighting to Alonoe, who used a special device to check for Threnodites in the vicinity. Since Kelsier was from Scadrial, the device did not detect him, but the guards were told to remain on high alert.

Maps

Maps is a member of Bridge Four on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
Maps is flat-faced and balding, and has thick eyebrows and a bushy beard. Although he is initially apathetic like most bridgemen, he becomes gregarious and well-liked, and is able to put other people at ease. 
"Maps" is a nickname that comes from a birthmark on his chest that he swears is an exact map of Alethkar, although Kaladin does not see the resemblance. His real name is unknown. 
==History==
Maps was among the members of Bridge Four that Kaladin met in his early days as a bridgeman. He was not one of the first to accept Kaladin's leadership. However, he was drawn to camaraderie and soon became one of Kaladin's supporters. After Kaladin's judgement in the highstorm, Maps gave a brief speech addressing Bridge Four. He expressed support for Kaladin and presented Rock with his razor; the other bridgemen appreciated him speaking up. However, he was skeptical when Kaladin later brought up the idea of an escape attempt.
Maps continued to become more relaxed and friendly around the group, and encouraged others to talk. He was among the bridgemen that figured out that Sigzil was a Worldsinger, and asked him to tell the men a tale while they were on chasm duty, much to Sigzil's chagrin.
He died during the fifth battle in which Dalinar and Torol Sadeas cooperated, taking a Parshendi arrow through the lung and into his spine. Kaladin attempted to perform emergency surgery, but was unable to save him. He was one of the people that Kaladin thought about before swearing the Second Ideal of the Windrunners.

Mara

The name Mara may refer to three distinct people: one in the Stormlight Archive, one in Skyward, and one in Mistborn Era Two. 
* Mara (Roshar) - Apprentice surgeon to Lirin in Hearthstone
* Mara (Skyward) - Pilot on Detritus and Cobb's instructor
* Marasi Colms - Occasionally called Mara by Wayne
Mara (Skyward)

Mara is a female pilot on Detritus. She is a wise woman who is good at consoling people during times of loss and grief.
Cobb refers to her as 'Old Mara' -- it is unclear if she was an older woman, if this was a nickname, or if he is referring to the amount of time that has passed since he knew her.
She was Cobb's instructor in his youth, and at some point she passed away. Mara's role in teaching Cobb implies that she was a member of the DDF.

Maraga Dulcet

Maraga Dulcet is the editor-in-chief of the Sentinel of Truth broadsheet in Bilming on Scadrial. She and Tobal Copper uncover the truth about the Set's actions during the time when the group is trying to prove Scadrial's worth to Autonomy.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Maraga is a short woman with a husky voice and greying frizzy black hair. After the death of Tobal Copper, extreme worry causes her to lose weight, giving her a distressed look with bags under her eyes. She dresses in rumpled clothes, without taking much care for her appearance.
She is excited to meet Wax because of his supposed friendship with Jak, and she is not overawed to be found in his presence. She loves larger-than-life tales and is eager to print sensational stories that other papers pass over.
== History ==
Maraga completed her journeymanship in the news business at the Times in Bilming, and at some later date she became the editor-in-chief of the Sentinel of Truth. Around , Tobal Copper approached Maraga with claims that his employers were building a bomb. Though she was skeptical at first, Tobal began to bring her more and more evidence until she was convinced he was telling the truth. By , Tobal and Maraga met nightly in the basement of the offices for the Sentinel of Truth. Together, they pieced together evidence of the Set's work in creating underground bunkers, a rocket, and high powered bombs. They recorded their findings by scratching them into metal sheets. Tobal told Maraga that he suspected one night he simply wouldn't show up to their daily conversations; when that day came, Maraga became paranoid and hid out in the office building. Two weeks later, Waxillium, Wayne, Marasi, and Moonlight found the address to the office in Tobal's rooms and confronted Maraga. She showed the group all of the evidence collected in the basement.
When their meeting was interrupted by Telsin's arrival, Wax advised Maraga to flee to the countryside to live with family there. However, as she didn't have any family in the countryside, Marasi arranged with Moonlight for Maraga to seek asylum with the Ghostbloods at their location in the Knightbridge district of Bilming.

Maratham

Maratham is a palace organizer in the Kholinar Palace on Roshar.
On the night of Gavilar's assassination she brought word to Navani that Gavilar had told the listeners they could bring their drums but that they didn't have enough room for them. Navani told her to use the extra soldiers in the palace that night to set up a second, more exclusive feast in the upper hall so that they would have more space to work with.

Marco (Reckoners)

Marco is a resident of Babilar and a friend of Missouri Williams.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is short and has short, extremely curly light brown hair with a moss-like look to it. He feels comfortable in crowds and disagrees with the Reckoners' worldview, holding a peacefully fatalistic attitude towards the state of the world.
== History ==
Marco was hanging out with Calaka, Infinity, and Lulu at the party in Babilar when Mizzy approached and introduced David. Shocked at David's reaction to Infinity's offer to spray paint his clothes, Marco called him weird. Mizzy then stole his drink; after the group raised a toast to Steve, he grabbed some grapes instead and began tossing them to the others. He commented on Edso's improved music. When David protested that he should be thinking about what Obliteration did to Steve, Marco and the others condemned the Reckoners, believing that their resistance only provoked the Epics and made things worse for ordinary people. They talked about the music for a while before Lulu gave Marco her drink and left to dance with David. He later told Mizzy that Regalia had poached one of Revokation's personal surgeons from Great Falls.

Mareshe

Mareshe was an Elantrian from Sel after the Reod. 
==Appearance==
Mareshe was taken by the shaod and deposited in Elantris. He was the first person Raoden saved from Shaor's men. Asked about his profession he told Raoden that he was a jeweler, a craftsman and an artisan. Raoden assigned him to make shoes for the Elantrians which wasn't an easy task. Due to Elantrian's unhealing wounds they had to fit their bearers perfectly to avoid blistering. The lack of raw materials further complicated the task. Mareshe used leather from old book covers to make shoes.
Mareshe may have been Arelene because he thought that Raoden looked familiar.
Mareshe followed Raoden and became his friend and confidant. When Sarene began charity work in Elantris for her Widow's Trial, Mareshe pretended to be Aanden.
During the Invasion of Arelon, Derethi soldiers and Dakhor monks attacked New Elantris. When Galladon passes through later he spots Mareshe with an enormous, ragged hole torn in his chest, making him a Hoed.
== Notes ==
Marewill flower

Marewill flowers are a type of flowers that existed on Scadrial before and after the Final Empire. Marewill flowers are blue-white colored.
== Mare's flower ==
After the Ascension of the Lord Ruler, the world had no flowers. However, Kelsier's wife, Mare, was fascinated by Classical Scadrial, and collected pictures of the old era. She held a piece of paper that had an image of a flower on it, which perplexed both Kelsier and Vin, who had never seen the strange plants.
After Mare died, Kelsier kept the paper with the flower and used it as a symbol of hope.
Later, after Kelsier's death, the picture of the flower was passed onto Vin.
During the Final Ascension, Sazed used the image of the flower, along with other Larsta descriptions of the plants, to help restore the world from the damage of the Lord Ruler. He left the original image of Mare's flower to Spook in one of his books, which would later be called the Words of Founding.
== After the Final Ascension ==
Marewill flowers were located in the Field of Rebirth, on a hill leading to the statues and tombs of the Last Emperor and the Ascendant Warrior. They were named by Spook. 
The Marewill flower was chosen as the basis of the Ghostbloods' three overlapping diamonds insignia.
Hoid has been known to wear clothing with the Marewill flower in a repeating pattern.
== Notes ==
Margel

Margel is a skaa woman from the Eastern Dominance of the Final Empire on Scadrial. She is the mother of Spook and the sister of Clubs.
==History==
Margel lived with a young Spook and other skaa in a dirty shack. Spook often ducked out of the house to run around with the other skaa children, learning eastern street slang in the process. Margel's husband, Jedal, blamed her for Spook's lack of discipline.
Spook Snapped when he was only five years old. Margel presumably soon discovered that he was a tin Misting; Allomancy was known to run in their family. She sent for her brother, Clubs, in the hopes that he would take the boy so that he would not be killed due to the Lord Ruler's stringent laws against skaa Allomancy. Clubs used forbidden routes and spent a significant sum to travel to Margel's home from Luthadel. By the time Clubs arrived, other skaa (including Jedal) had learned that Spook was a Misting and were prepared to kill him to avoid the wrath of the Steel Ministry. Clubs offered Jedal money in return for taking Spook; Jedal was angry with Margel, but she convinced him to accept the offer, and Spook left the family forever. Margel was not a good mother to Spook, but she felt that this was the most she could do for him.
== Notes ==
Margothian District

The Margothian District was a former district in an unknown octant in Elendel. It was presumably residential. During the case of the Vanishers, the Margothian district no longer existed, instead being absorbed into the industrial quarter of its octants. Then, its residents moved away.
Wayne, when wanting to look at the Breaknaught, pretended to be an old woman named Abrigain, and mixed an accent from the Margothian District.
== Notes ==
Mari Hammondess

Mari Hammondess is a member of House Hammondess on Scadrial. It is unknown if she is the head of House Hammondess during , or if she simply acts as the representative of House Hammondess on the Elendel Senate.
== Appearence and Personality ==
Mari Hammondess is considered to be attractive. She has a small gap between her front teeth, of the sort men may describe as cute. She also has flawless skin, delicate features, and long eyelashes. Mari is knowledgable about Basin politics, and she is at least somewhat of a war hawk. She believes that Elendel should attack the Outer Cities while they can still win. However, after realising that there was a bomb pointed at Elendel, she immediately made arrangements to flee, valuing her and her family’s own lives above those of the civilians.
== History ==
Mari was the acting senator for House Hammondess during . She presumably voted on the Elendel Supremacy Bill, although it is unknown whether she voted for or against the bill. Mari likely voted in favour of Steris Ladrian’s proposal for a Select Council to deal with the issue of the Outer Cities. Afterwards, she was appointed to this council, and left with the other members to a private meeting. During this meeting, Mari considered it necessary to launch a preemptive strike against the Outer Cities, believing that if they waited, they would lose their advantage. After receiving a message detailing the presence of an Outer Cities’ bomb that was pointed straight at Elendel, Mari decided to immediately flee the city, along with her family.
== Notes ==
Maria

Maria is the IRL/Snapshot liaison officer who texts with Chaz and Davis while they are in the Snapshot. Chaz and Davis talk to Maria in the back of the 42nd precinct, where the snapshot teams and Maria work, to get the information they don't want to ask IRL Maria. When threatening Snapshot Maria for information, Chaz gets frustrated and then shoots and kills her.
== Appearance & Personality ==
Maria is described as a prim woman in her early fifties, with dyed black hair, and wears glasses that she stubbornly keeps by refusing to get any corrective surgery. Davis says that she has never and wouldn't ever lie to him but has held back the truth on multiple occasions. Chaz describes her as a hottie.
