Bordin

Bordin is a darkeyed footman in the employ of Dalinar Kholin on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Bordin is a young darkeyed Alethi man, with short dark hair and prominent eyebrows. He usually wears the colors of House Kholin.
Bordin is one of Dalinar's most trusted footmen; Dalinar assigns him several important tasks that require a high level of discretion.
== History ==
Dalinar kept Bordin stationed in Kholinar for several years during the War of Reckoning. The Ghostbloods were aware of Bordin and believed he was tasked with spying on Aesudan while the leaders of House Kholin were at the Shattered Plains.
In late , a madman--actually the Herald Taln--was apprehended in Kholinar, and Bordin secretly escorted him to the Shattered Plains. During this period, an unknown party (not Hoid) swapped Taln's Honorblade with a regular dead Shardblade. Hoid (posing as the King's Wit) accompanied Bordin for the first few days of the journey from Kholinar before insulting him and running off into the hills; Bordin said the madman was a better companion than Wit. Upon arriving at the Plains, Bordin reported to Elhokar and Dalinar, informing them of Wit's strange actions and explaining that Taln had readily dropped the unbonded Blade that he was carrying.
===Deceiving Amaram===
Dalinar had grown suspicious of Amaram, and used Bordin to test the Highmarshal. On Dalinar's orders, Bordin went drinking with some of Amaram's guards and sowed rumors of treasure that the madman claimed he had hidden in the area. He then hid Taln's Shardblade in a nearby cavern and monitored Amaram's actions. As a precaution, Dalinar feigned illness and bonded the Blade before it was hidden. Amaram heard the rumors, and Bordin accompanied him to the cell in Dalinar's temple where Taln was being held. The Ghostbloods had gotten wind of the situation, and Mraize sent Shallan to infiltrate the cell; she was there when Bordin and Amaram arrived and planned to sketch their portraits for Mraize. Amaram attempted to interview Taln but got nowhere, while Bordin reinforced the rumor of a hidden cache of Blades. Amaram was eager to find the Blades, and compelled Bordin to help look for them.
Meanwhile, Dalinar asked Amaram to look into Bordin's claims as a test to see if he would conduct a legitimate investigation, also giving him more time to come clean. Amaram's men did retrieve the Shardblade; when he lied to Dalinar about it, Dalinar finally understood the scope of Amaram's betrayal. Amaram's actions also lent credence to Kaladin's account that he had stolen an unknown Shardbearer's Blade and Plate years before. Dalinar confronted Amaram and revealed Bordin's role in the plot; Dalinar summoned the Shardblade he had bonded to prevent Amaram from attacking him. Dalinar stripped Amaram of the position as head of the Knights Radiant, but he did not have him executed.

Borea

Borea is an honorspren who serves as the first mate of the ship Honor's Path.
Borea had some sort of encounter with Nightblood or had heard of his passage through Lasting Integrity. In 1174, Borea was on the Honor's Path when they took Sylphrena and her companions aboard. Azure spoke to Borea and explained to her that her weapon was a Shardblade that required no spren to be made. Azure told Borea that in exchange for the return of her weapon, information on Nightblood, and eventual passage to her destination, she would explain to Borea how her weapon had been crafted. Borea drew Azure's Blade herself and was investigated by her. Borea expressed shock that Azure had a Shardblade that required no enslavement and agreed to the deal.
Like Notum, Borea wears a stiff and no nonsense uniform.
==Trivia==
*Borea's name, like that of a number of other honorspren, is derived from real-world linguistics related to the wind. Specifically, she is named for Boreas, the Ancient Greek god of the North Wind.

Boriar

Highprince Boriar is a highprince of Jah Keved.
== History ==
Highprince Boriar was one of several highprinces that participated in the Veden Succession War following the assassination of King Hanavanar by the Assassin in White.
One of Boriar's rivals was Highprince Valam. Boriar was likely one of the seven factions that fought for control of Vedenar. Boriar was defeated and killed, although his manner of death is unknown. The newly crowned King Valam, unaware of Boriar's death, wondered what Boriar and the other highprinces would make of Valam making King Taravangian as his heir. Taravangian informed Valam of Boriar and the other highprinces' deaths.

Bornwater

Bornwater is a mining town in Bavland on Roshar. Szeth lived in the town for a short time before he served Taravangian.
== Geography ==
Bornwater is located in Bavland, an autonomous region at the base of a mountain range that is technically within the borders of southwestern Jah Keved. It is the largest town in its immediate area, although it could still be considered a "backwater". Nearby settlements include the smaller town of Staplind. The closest larger city of note is Kneespike.
== Landmarks ==
The town is well-protected from highstorms by a large cliffside to the east that forms a natural lait. The local citylord owns a well-guarded three story mansion with cultivated gardens on the east side of town, although he does not reside there.
== History ==
In , a Bav criminal named Makkek came into possession of Szeth's Oathstone. He realized that Szeth could easily eliminate his rivals so that he could seize power and wealth. After taking over Staplind, Makkek moved on to Bornwater, and ran the largest gambling den in town. The local citylord learned of Makkek's rise to power and sent another criminal named Gavashaw to Bornwater to serve as a rival. Makkek ordered Szeth to assassinate Gavashaw, but when Szeth arrived at the mansion where he was staying, a masked agent of the Diagram showed him the severed heads of both Gavashaw and Makkek. The agent also held Szeth's Oathstone, and gave him a new list of high profile targets, including King Hanavanar of Jah Keved.
== Culture ==
As part of Jah Keved, Bornwater is a Vorin region. However, some of the residents are very lax in following traditional Vorin social decorum; a prominent gambling den exists in the town where alcohol and firemoss are common. Despite these improprieties, certain aspects of Vorin culture are embedded in the residents. They do not bet on games of chance that could be considered "predicting the future". Although women in the gambling den often leave their safehand exposed, this is still seen as a provocative and flirty act.
Despite the town's location in a lait that is well-protected from highstorms, the architecture still follows cultural tendencies, with long flat roofs that slope gently to the east.
== Politics ==
Bornwater is an industrial town that is likely ignored by the Veden government, like the rest of Bavland. Although the eastern part of the city has a wealthier neighborhood, the city is not the type of place where prominent lighteyes choose to spend their time. Even the citylord seems to take a hands-off approach, since he lives in the larger town of Kneespike.

Bountiful Cavern

Bountiful Cavern is a cavern on Detritus, near Igneous. The cavern was initially settled and populated by the crew of the Antioch gunship. Despite its name, Bountiful Cavern is not responsible for food production.
Kimmalyn's family lives in Bountiful Cavern and are descended from the original Antioch crew. At least a portion of the caverns inhabitants are trained as gunners for the DDF, including Kimmalyn and her parents. It is implied that the DDF keeps some sort of watch over the pool of gunners in Bountiful Cavern, as skill with the anti-airship (AA) guns can be transfer to a cockpit, making this cavern a good potential source for new pilots. Kimmalyn's recruitment to the pilot program was highly talked about amongst the gunners of Bountiful Cavern, even after she dropped out from Flight School.
Although those raised in Bountiful Cavern appear polite and mild mannered, they are good at subtle insults and jabs. People from Bountiful Cavern have an accent distinct from the people of Igneous. Kimmalyn often uses the phrase 'bless your stars' which may be used regularly by people this cavern. Kimmalyn's propensity to talk of the Saint may also be common within the cavern.
== Trivia ==
* The phrase 'bless your stars', commonly used by Kimmalyn, is likely based on the southern US phrase, 'bless your heart'. Both phrases are used in a variety of circumstances to convey expressions that range from sincerity to mockery.

Bow of Hours

The Bow of Hours is a legendary bow in Unkalaki culture on Roshar. When someone is able to draw the bow, it heralds "years of change".
==History==
According to Cord, her father Lunamor was able to draw the bow in the Horneater Peaks at the start of the new millenium. She mentioned that spren helped provide Lunamor the strength needed to draw the bow. She also referred to him as "the Fal'ala'liki'nor", although it is unclear how this title was related to the bow.
Lunamor's ability to draw the Bow of Hours may have been related to his use of a grandbow during the Battle of Thaylen Field, but he appeared to consider that incident a violation of an unknown oath, and did not discuss it any further.

Breachtree

Breachtrees are a plant native to Roshar used to make textiles.
==Uses==
Breachtrees produce a type of cotton. The cotton can be spun into fabric. The fabric is versatile, and can be used to make clothing ranging from coats to robes. It is likely also used to make shift dresses. The fabric, which sometimes has a scratchy feel, can be dyed.
==Cultivation and Economy==
Breachtrees are cultivated as a textile crop in Jah Keved and possibly in other parts of Roshar. The harvested cotton is traded as a commodity.
==History==
Kaladin had a padded brown breachtree coat as a young man.
In , Brightlord Revilar forced Lin Davar to trade breachtree cotton and raw shum at an incredible discount to gain much-needed influence with Revilar.
Zahel wore a shabby tan breachtree cotton robe tied at his waist with a rope when he fought Kaladin in Urithiru.
==Trivia==
*Breachtree was spelled "breechtree" in the first printings of Rhythm of War.

Breaknaught

The Breaknaught is an armored train car constructed in the year on Scadrial.
It was built by House Tekiel in response to the Vanishers' previous raids, which affected their stock prices. Not only is the safe welded onto the car, but the steel walls are six inches thick. There is a cutting-edge timed locking mechanism on it that cannot open for twelve hours after being closed, designed according to the locks on House Tekiel's bank houses. It was advertised as being completely impenetrable to regain the faith of their investors, but Wax knew this would seem like a challenge to the Vanishers and decided to use it to set a trap.
Prior to its maiden excursion, the carriage was on public display at the Evergall Trainyards. Wayne staged a distraction to allow Wax to board, while preventing the eight guards who were supposed to board from getting on. While en route to Doxonar, Wax rigged a bomb on the door and set up a net trap inside the car to try to capture Miles Dagouter. The Vanishers swapped the entire cargo compartment with a replica provided by the Set, with Wax still inside. This went exactly to Wax's plan, as they then took the Breaknaught with him inside it back to their base. Miles had also correctly guessed the presence of Wax inside the car. After the Breaknaught's door was yanked off in the Vanisher's workshop, the fight began.

Breakneck

Breakneck is a game played by the Vorin peoples of Roshar during the Era of Solitude and True Desolation. It is played fairly widely, both in gambling dens and among common darkeyes.
== Rules ==
Breakneck is played with stones and involves throws, tosses, and draws. Although it is a betting game, players do not directly wager on the aspects of the game that involve random chance. Instead, due to the Vorin fear of predicting the future, they bet on the hand that they hold after all the throws and draws. 
There are three known types of throws in breakneck. The first is known as the tower and is made up of three pairs; this is an outright loss. The queen, composed of two trios, results in an outright win. The final known throw is the butcher, which is made of a trio and a pair and could either win or lose, depending on your other throws and the throws of the other players.
== History ==
Kaladin and his family played breakneck during his youth in Hearthstone.
Szeth observed games of breakneck in a firemoss den in Bornwater and found the Vorin attitudes toward the game rather odd.
Veil was very skilled at breakneck and played it in bars at Urithiru, betting on chips. She developed a reputation, and few people were willing to play against her. She became embroiled in a game at Jez's Duty on the day of Jor's wedding celebration after she went looking for a barmaid.

Brekv

Brekv is a Thaylen sailor on Roshar. He works on the crew of a scouting vessel captained by Smta.
When Yalb spotted the First Dreams in the distance, he climbed up to join Brekv, who was manning the eel's nest, to ask him what he could see with his spyglass. Brekv told Yalb that the ship was not flying a banner and asked if he wanted to report it to the captain.

Brell

Brell is an officer in the Imperial Fleet of the High Empire.
About a year prior to Varion Crestmar rebellion against the empire, Brell was assigned to flagship in the Fleet as Dennison Crestmar's XO. When Dennison performed poorly in a battle, loosing over half of his ships, Brell remarked that Dennision "really is an idiot." Dennison overheard the remark and replied that he probably should punish Brell for insulting a High Officer, but that he wasn't inclined to punish someone for speaking the truth. Dennison did, however, tell Brell that the empire must consider Brell to be a relatively incompetent officer, since they "wasted" him on serving under Dennison.

Brettin

Captain Brettin is the constable-general of the Fourth Octant constabulary precinct.
== Appearance and Personality ==
The constable is a terse man who brooks no intrusion by civilians into his investigations, police matters, or dangerous situations, such as firefights. Even in the case of Lord Waxillium Ladrian, who successfully defeated the Vanishers in a gunfight without a single civillian casualty, Captain Brettin believed that Wax should not have involved himself. He shows serious concern about the safety of the citizens of Elendel and displays an awareness of the problems that the powerful can make in an investigation.
Brettin also holds himself with authority, willing to butt heads with other constables over questions of jurisdiction and ongoing investigations. However, he seems to be argumentative and have something of a short temper. As he gets angry, his face grows noticeably red.
Captain Brettin has a poor memory for names, and is constantly mixing people up. Nothing is known about Brettin's appearance, although he presumably wore the brown uniform of a constable with a domelike hat.
== History ==
Several of the Vanisher robberies happened under Captain Brettin's watch. He was under enormous pressure to capture the men responsible. Captain Brettin was one of the first responders to the attack on the Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner by Miles Dagouter and the Vanishers. He debriefed Wax after the fight and told him to stay out of police business and stop undermining his authority.
Later Captain Brettin was tricked into letting the Vanisher prisoners be interrogated by Wayne, who was disguised as the fictional Captain Guffont Trenchant from the Seventh Octant. Due to Wayne's use of a time bubble in the interrogation room, Brettin missed Wayne's conversation with the suspect and believed that Wayne had failed to gather any usable information.
Some time after this, Captain Brettin was killed in an unrelated matter. Harmony, seeing an opportunity, sent TenSoon, a kandra, to retrieve Brettin's corpse and impersonate him. Tensoon did not have the opportunity to observe Brettin prior to his death, and so it was an imperfect impersonation. Those who knew Brettin could detect something off about him. TenSoon used Brettin's bones to submit a backdated request to the Senate for a citywide deputized forbearance for Wax. This freed Wax from any charges incurred during his investigation of the Vanishers, as well as granted him powers of investigation and arrest. He informed Wax of this action after Wax and Marasi's final confrontation with Miles. Afterwards, Brettin, still being impersonated by TenSoon, retired soon after Miles' execution, and presumably his bones were laid to rest. 
Due to Brettin's early retirement, the position of constable-general was open. A former constable named Claude Aradel was appointed to the position. Aradel had retired because he had reached the silent ceiling of promotions a non-noble could receive. As ten years had passed since Aradel's retirement, attitudes had changed and it was considered less important for a man to have noble blood to hold a powerful position.

Brianlia

Brianlia is a listener on Roshar who accompanied Eshonai to the feast in Kholinar on the night of Gavilar Kholin's assassination. 
When Eshonai tried to urge some parshmen at the feast to enjoy themselves and stop being subservient, Brianlia attuned the Rhythm of Skepticism and told Eshonai that parshmen couldn't imagine what it was to live a normal life, and that they could only see themselves as property to be bought and sold.
