Exel

Exel is a member of the Reckoners cell based in Babilar. Exel gathers information from the inhabitants of Babilar, and is recognized by people in the city. Much of this skill in this can be assumed to come from his experience as a pre-Calamity government agent. As a former mortician, Exel visits funerals and often makes morbid (but well-natured) jokes about how someone would look as a corpse. He is described as an extremely large man by David.
After Prof's prevention of Babilar's destruction and subsequent corruption from overuse of his Epic abilities, Exel was brutally crushed to death, along with Val, by their former leader's forcefield abilities.

Exeltec

Exeltec is a biotech firm founded five years before the death of Panos Maheras. The company is originally owned by ten investors, with Nathan Haight, the largest investor, serving as CEO. Stephen Leeds later temporarily buys the company, before selling it to Yol Chay.
Soon after Exeltec's inception, the company released their primary product, a drug that helped patients with Parkinson's disease. A year later, however, a competitor developed a better drug and Exeltec lost most of its revenue. Despite years of funding, its next three products all failed on the market and the company made no economic progress. As Exeltec grew increasingly desperate, they gained a reputation for "moral ambiguity and espionage," and were subject to four separate investigations; by the time of Panos' death, three had been closed without conclusive findings and the fourth—for cutting corners in overseas manufacturing—was ongoing.
Increasingly desperate, Exeltec hires Zen Rigby to steal Panos' body, hoping it will lead to a new drug that will save the company. During his investigation into Panos' death, Stephen Leeds aggressively pursues the company and has Yol Chay manipulate it economically so that the value of its shares will plummet. This enables Wilson to buy sixty percent of the company's stock on behalf of Stephen, which allows Stephen to vote himself president of the company and order Zen Rigby to stand down. Stephen has no interest in running the company, however, and forced Yol to buy the company from him in return for helping with the Panos case.

Expanse of Vibrance

The Expanse of Vibrance is a location in Shadesmar that corresponds to an unknown planet.
It is bordered by the Nexus of Imagination.
The Expanse of Vibrance is commonly thought to correspond to the world Nalthis, due to the importance of color in that planet's manifestation of Investiture, Awakening.

Expanse of the Densities

The Expanse of the Densities is the Rosharan term for the Selish subastral of the Cognitive Realm. After Splintering Devotion and Dominion, Odium pushed their Investiture into the Cognitive Realm. Due to the contained nature of the space, that Investiture is in an incredibly dangerous and highly pressurized state, similar to plasma. This Investiture fills the region as a deadly storm known as the Dor and is the reason Rosharans call the region the Expanse of the Densities. It strains Hoid's resources to safely travel there, but he has done it on occasion. As a result of this high concentration of Investiture outside of the Spiritual Realm, there may be noticeable time dilation in the region.
It can be accessed from Devotion's Perpendicularity near Elantris, the other Perpendicularity on Sel, or by traveling there from another region of the Cognitive Realm; it is adjacent to the Nexus of Truth on the Rosharan map of Shadesmar.

Expanse of the Vapors

The Expanse of the Vapors is a location in Shadesmar. It is bordered by the Sea of Lost Lights and the Nexus of Imagination.
The Expanse of the Vapors leads to Scadrial.
In Mistborn: Secret History, Kelsier goes to the Cognitive Realm on Scadrial, and describes everything that doesn't have Investiture to be made of 'thick, shifting mists' that coalesced in the same shape as everything in the Physical Realm. This is likely where the Expanse of the Vapors gets its name. As part of the Scadrian subastral, mist obscures everything and metals glow with a brilliant light. The counterpart to bodies of water is smoky stone where mysterious plants grow and the counterpart to solid earth is a misty, vaporous substance.

Expulsion

The Expulsion is an ancient event in pre-Rosharan history. 
==Vorin Doctrine==
In Vorin mythology, it marks the defeat of the population of the Tranquiline Halls and their exile to Roshar by the Voidbringers. Following the Expulsion, the Voidbringers followed mankind to Roshar and the Desolations began. It is unclear why the humans lost the war in the Tranquiline Halls or how they traveled from there to Roshar.
==Historicity==
The humans who first settled on Roshar arrived from Ashyn--another inner planet in the Rosharan system. While the exact reason for their migration is unknown, Honor implied that they needed a new home after destroying their previous planet with the Dawnshards. Firestorms had raged across the surface of Ashyn and the very stones melted in pools of lava, due to altercation between an empire made by Odium's favoured people with access to Surges and an opposing Kingdom set up by people who had been granted the power to resist the imperialist nation. According to Honor, the sky burned. The Eila Stele, an ancient singer text, claimed that the humans were welcomed to Roshar by their gods despite access to "dangerous powers, of spren and Surges." The stele further claimed that the humans had betrayed them, as subjects of their own god--Odium, and ultimately implied that the humans themselves were the Voidbringers, come to conquer Roshar. The myth of the Expulsion seems to be based on these events.
Ishar, who had some access to Elsecaller-like abilities opened a portal to Roshar following a tone.
Rats could make the transition, but dogs, due to their sparse numbers, died out after a few generations.
== Notes ==
Extes

Extes is a man from Vorin mythology on Roshar.
According to the myth, Extes sacrificed his son to the Voidbringers in exchange for knowledge about the day of his death. He was punished by being made immortal, and then having his arms torn off every day. This tale was well-known in Alethkar, often told among the darkeyes.
His story was one of many involving men made immortal and then tortured for eternity. This is potentially related to the Heralds, who were immortal and tortured in Damnation after every Desolation.

Fabrisan

Fabrisan is likely a scholar on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
Fabrisan discovered a problem that was considered to be either incredibly difficult or impossible to solve. This problem was termed Fabrisan's Conundrum. For some reason, a solution to Fabrisan's Conundrum had the potential to help the world. On one of King Taravangian's most intelligent days, he solved Fabrisan's Conundrum. It seems that he did not share his solution.

Fadrex City

Fadrex City is a major trade hub in the Western Dominance of the Final Empire, several months' journey from Urteau. It is located near Chardees. There are a number of canals in the area, including the Conway Canal.
The city's natural rock formations make it much more defensible than the larger western city Tremredare. Some of these rocky shelves are used as natural city walls, and are mostly dark red and orange in color. It contains one of the Lord Ruler's storage caches.
After the Collapse, Ashweather Cett makes the city his capital. He takes all of the known Allomancers with him when he marches against Luthadel, taking mostly from Houses Gardre and Conrad. During the Siege of Luthadel the Obligator Aradan Yomen rises to power. He reimposes the social structures of the Final Empire, throwing balls for the nobility.
The city is besieged by Emperor Elend Venture for the cache. The siege ultimately results in an alliance between Venture and Yomen.
== Notable Residents and Families ==
* Lord Aradan Yomen, obligator and self-appointed governor of Fadrex City.
* House Cett, a noble family which took Fadrex City after the Collapse, only to lose it to Aradan Yomen.
* House Orielle, a ball that Vin and Elend Venture attended was hosted in Keep Orielle.
* House Patresen, a relative house to House Elariel.

Fafen

Fafen is a princess of Idris, the third child of King Dedelin, with elder siblings being Vivenna, Ridger, and her younger sister being Sisirinah. Of the three sisters, Fafen is the middle sister in almost every way. She is midway in height between Vivenna and Siri, and less proper than Vivenna, though not as careless as Siri. 
Fafen is a monk of Austrism, and so she wears white robes and is required to have her hair completely shaven off. Her duty, as with all monks, is to grow food for the needy, do tasks around the city, and provide for those who could not provide for themselves. Fafen made the choice to become a monk before her tenth birthday, and has devoted herself to this task ever since. It is tradition that noble or rich families are obligated to send a child to the monasteries. Siri is happy that Fafen is the monk in the family and not her, and she said she would have gone crazy living as a monk. Fafen also had a curvy figure, which attracted men around Bevalis, but her status as a monk kept suitors at bay, as they would have to become monks if they wished to marry her.
Fafen had taken lessons in court life and politics in case Vivenna died before marrying the God King of Hallandren. When Siri was sent to Hallandren instead of Vivenna, Fafen believed that Vivenna would inherit the throne of Idris instead of Ridger.
Fafen had a tendency to avoid thinking things through unless she was confronted with them directly, which meant that people often had to engage her with blunt comments to get through to her.

Fain

The fain or fainlife is a class of lifeforms on Yolen. Fain creatures generally have six limbs.
Two of the three sapient species from Yolen, the Sho Del and dragons, are fain; the Sho Del fill the same niche in the fain ecosystem that humans fill in the normal one. Another form of fainlife is Tamu Keks, bones that are somehow similar to singer gemhearts and can be used for inter-Realm communication in some way. Fain flora is bone-white and Tanavast describes fain animals as likely to be timid upon encountering a significant amount of color for the first time.
Though it originated on Yolen, the fain ecosystem has spread beyond that planet in significant ways. Knowledge of its existence is not uncommon among cosmere-aware people after the Shattering of Adonalsium; when discussing how Ruin and Preservation used the Yolish ecosystem as a model for Scadrial, Khriss is able to mention without further explanation that "of course" this means the non-fain parts.
== Unpublished Works ==
In The Liar of Partinel, the fainlife had rapidly grown to cover much of the planet, though humans eventually learned to keep it in check with something known as a trune ring; trune was the name given to the regular, non-fain ecosystem. A type of fainlife known as skullmoss heralded the advance of further fainlife. Its leaves would sometimes drift across a trune ring and some cities would gather them up and burn them, though this was not strictly necessary. Merely interacting with the fainlife was safe and some cities even used fain wood for construction, but eating any amount of fainlife was deadly to humans.
In Dragonsteel Prime, the Yolish version of the Shattered Plains was the only connection between the fain and non-fain parts of the world. At the Shattered Plains, Sho Del fought humans for a material known as Dragonsteel. According to Jerick, at least some Sho Del had also made it past the Shattered Plains and killed civilians, and had attempted to kill his king. In this draft, Tamu Keks were long, thin bones that came to a point at both ends that could be found on Sho Del; Jerick was able to sense the power coming off them and warned one of his companions not to touch them.
In the non-canonical work The Traveler, fainlife is described as looking like ordinary flora, though the plants and land overtaken by it are bone-white.
== Trivia ==
* The Sho Del, dragons, and Tamu Keks are some of the few things from Dragonsteel Prime that are still part of the cosmere.
* When writing Rhythm of War, Brandon debated whether to have the communication box that Mraize gave to Shallan contain a seon or a Tamu Kek, but eventually settled on making it a seon because they have personalities whereas Tamu Keks are just bones.
* The fainlife ecosystem was built from Brandon thinking about what sort of ecology would likely give rise to dragons and about what other evolutionary strains would exist in such an ecology.

Faithful

The Faithful are those who believe that good Epics exist, ones who will use their power for protection rather than domination. The term comes into use after Calamity and the Epics arrive and begin terrorizing humanity. The Faithful think that there will eventually be "superheroes" who will stop the evil Epics.
Blain Charleston (David's father) and Abraham are known to be among the Faithful.
David initially thinks people with such faith are foolish: his early life at Havendark Factory teaches him to be a realist, but to be one of the Faithful requires a certain idealism. However, he eventually comes to believe that Prof is a hero despite being an Epic, though this belief does not transfer to a broader hope for Epics in general.
In the alternate universe, the Faithful include Epics who use their powers for good against evil. These Epics include Blain Charleston, Firefight and Tavi.
The symbol of the Faithful is described as a "stylized S shape"; Abraham always carries a pendant in that shape. When David travels to Babilar, Abraham also gives him a pendant as a gift, and David often thinks about it afterward. Although it could not explicitly be described as such in the books for legal reasons, the symbol is meant to be the real-world Superman logo.

Falksi

Falksi is a darkeyed Azish woman on Roshar.
== History ==
Falksi was Brightlady Janala Lustow's handmaiden. During Brightlord Adolin Kholin's date with Janala, she waited with Tibon and Marks, two members of the Cobalt Guard, while Adolin and Janala were inside the leather-working shop, speaking with Yis and Avaran.
When Janala and Adolin exited the shop, Falksi was annoyed that Adolin had not arranged for a palanquin to carry Janala.

Fallen World

The Fallen World is a place on Threnody.
Threnody is known to have two continents, the larger of which was lost to the Evil under unknown circumstances. The term "Fallen World" may refer to this lost continent. The Homeland—the origin of the ancestors of Silence Montane and possibly the other Forescouts—is also mentioned as a place lost to the Evil; Homeland may be a synonym for Fallen World or it could be a specific part of that continent.
If the Fallen World does refer to the continent lost to the Evil, it is dangerous to visit. Expeditions in the Physical Realm have disappeared, and it is also holds peril in the Cognitive Realm.
Daggon claimed that the White Fox had been to the Fallen World, although his stories were often apocryphal.

Falna

Falna is a planet in the High Empire.
It is an important planet, near the core of the empire, and is home to an imperial fleet. By the end of the Reunification War, however, the empire's forces were stretched thin, as they had been pushing outward to hold their newly re-expanded borders. As a result, Falna was one of the ten locations Varion Crestmar attacked in his rebellion against the empire.
When Dennison Crestmar analyzed the attack on Falna, he correctly predicted that Varion would push the imperial gunships there into retreating, thus breaking their firing lines and opening a gap for his fighters. After the High Emperor gave Dennison permission to transmit fake reports of the battles to Varion through a bug in Varion's klage transmitter, Dennison made it look like one of the imperial gunships had gotten off a lucky shot, breaking Varion's fighter line in just the wrong place and allowing the imperial fighters to rally, resulting in an unlikely but not unreasonable defeat for Varion.

Far Dorest

Far Dorest is a city in the northern Roughs. It is north of Faradana and east of the True Madil.
Far Dorest had a single lawkeeper for its entire, large population: Jon Deadfinger, a lawkeeper from Far Dorest who worked with Miles Dagouter and Waxillium Ladrian.
For the murder Wayne committed, Jon set Wayne to be hanged in Far Dorest.

Far Peninsula

The Far Peninsula is a location in the far north of Scadrial during the Final Empire. Kelsier possessed a small bar of the "Eleventh Metal", malatium, and he told his crew that he found it near the peninsula. He also claimed that he knew of people living near the Far Peninsula who remembered the name of their kingdom prior to the Ascension; they also maintained that the Lord Ruler could be killed with the Eleventh Metal.
The location of the Far Peninsula is unclear. The only sizable northern peninsulas visible on maps of the former Final Empire appear to be located in the Crescent Dominance and the Farmost Dominance. However, available maps do not extend to the northern coast of the continent, and it is possible that there are other peninsulas in the Terris Dominance or elsewhere.

After the Parshendi assassination of King Gavilar Kholin, Highprince Vamah called on Farcoast to join him in fighting the War of Reckoning on the Shattered Plains. As many as one in every two men from Farcoast that were of fighting age joined the cause. Spirits were high for the war, and those who did not enlist often had their bravery questioned by their fellow citizens. Red, a man from Farcoast, enlisted with five of his friends, although all of them but Red were killed in the fighting.

Faridai

Faridai is a singer on Roshar.
He was one of the listeners who took stormform before the Battle of Narak. During the battle, he joined a line of his comrades that were singing a song to summon the Everstorm. Venli saw the Alethi forces approaching and tried to convince him to leave, but he was in a trancelike state and barely acknowledged her. Shortly after Venli left, the human forces led by Adolin indeed reached the line of listeners and easily slaughtered them. Faridai presumably died during this assault.

Farmer

The Farmer is a leader among the Shin on Roshar. He wears a many-colored robe and is referred to as colors-nimi by Szeth. During an invasion by raiders before the True Desolation, Szeth asks him how he knows what is right or wrong. He responds by saying that the difference between humans and animals is that the spren move the animals, and there is no good answer. Szeth is not completely satisfied with this answer and continues to search for a moral guide. Later, after Szeth kills for the first time, the Farmer encourages Szeth's family to send him to train as soldiers as well.

In , The New Ascendancy reported on a robbery that had taken place in the mansion the night before. It was robbed by members of the Set, who left a reverse gold symbol painted in red on the wall. This was the sign of Ape Manton, whom Waxillium had imprisoned years before in True Madil, and it was planted on the mansion by the Set in an attempt to trick Wax into chasing after Manton.

Father Bin

Father Bin is a Survivorist priest from Elendel on Scadrial.
After Waxillium Ladrian and Steris Harms agreed to marry, Wax sent a formal request to Father Bin asking him to perform the ceremony. Later that year, prior to the mistdawn sermon, the rogue kandra Paalm disguised herself as a Pathian priest named Larskpur. She nailed the still living Father Bin through his eyes to the wall in the chapel and then covered him over with a draping. After people arrived for the service, Paalm started ranting, telling the Survivorists that Kelsier was a false god who had cared only about himself, before revealing Father Bin's corpse. By doing so, Paalm exacerbated tensions between Survivorists and Pathians, pushing Elendel further toward rioting. Waxillium later discovered both Larskpur's bones and a bloody mallet, which he presumed had been used to kill Father Bin, in the back of Chapaou's coach.

Faultline

Faultline is a powerful Epic who initially works for Steelheart. She is a thin woman who wears her hair in a bun. 
== Attributes and Ability ==
Faultline has two second-tier abilities--moving softer earth and turning earth and stone into sand--which combine into a first-tier power. She is powerful, but fragile, as she has no prime invincibility.
It is also known that Faultline can appear to make earthquakes, by softening the earth and pulling back on it, though it is never shown.
== History ==
Faultline was seen using her powers when she sent the First Union Bank deep underground by turning the earth into sand, and letting it sink. She also created a cushion of earth around the bank as it sank, ultimately protecting it.
Faultline later challenged Steelheart, attempting to take over Newcago. Steelheart dealt with her personally, and killed her.

Feast of Light

A Feast of Light is a gathering, party, or event that at least honorspren, and perhaps other varieties of spren, go to.
It is unclear what such a feast entails. Judging from its name, it could involve Stormlight.
On a Reacher ship, Captain Ico gave Adolin Kholin clothing to wear, such as a waistcoat and a jacket, which he adapted to his needs and fashion sense. Once Adolin was dressed, Ico remarked that Adolin looked like an honorspren going to a Feast of Light. It is possible that since Adolin appeared like a lord, that a Feast of Light is a high society event for honorspren or spren.
