Seventeenth Shard

The Seventeenth Shard is a mysterious organization that is speculated to be influential in the overall Cosmere.
== Beliefs and Objectives ==
Its members have a non-interventionist philosophy, believing that the Shards were split up for a reason and that people shouldn't dabble in mixing them. The organization's name was very deliberately chosen. They watch the planets of the cosmere but do not approve of getting involved with or assimilating into another planet's society. They believe interfering will merely exacerbate the conflicts between the Shards. While they have goals beyond chasing down Hoid, those goals are not yet known.
== History ==
=== Roshar ===
Despite their non-interventionist policy, members of the Seventeenth Shard accidentally brought the common cold to Roshar.
In the Rosharan year 1173, Ishikk the Purelaker was acting as a guide and informant to three members of the Seventeenth Shard who were looking for Hoid. Ishikk does not know they are worldhoppers or even their names, though he nicknames them Grump, Thinker, and Blunt. By 1175, the group had given up on finding Hoid and had left Roshar.
* Grump has the distinct linguistic pattern of Dulas from Sel and is the Elantrian Galladon. 
* Thinker has a scar across his scalp and is Demoux from Scadrial. 
* Blunt is Baon from Taldain.
These three possess a device that lead them to Iri at the time of the Fifth Journey to leave Roshar alongside the Iriali.
== Relationships ==
; Hoid
: The Seventeenth Shard has an antagonistic relationship with Hoid. Because of their non-interventionist policy, they do not approve of Hoid's actions on various planets. They are worried that his actions will interfere with their overall goals. As a result, they are trying to chase Hoid down and stop him in some way. Hoid is not worried about his pursuers, and is quite dismissive of them. 
; Ghostbloods
: The Ghostbloods and the Seventeenth Shard are not working together. The Ghostbloods actively try to recruit members of the Seventeenth Shard, particularly the field agents. The Ghostbloods seem to have been successful at least once, as Iyatil was a member of the Seventeenth Shard before she joined the Ghostbloods.
== Known Members ==
* Aslydin - Demoux's wife on Scadrial
* Demoux - A soldier and Seer from Scadrial
* Galladon - An Elantrian from Sel
* Baon - A soldier and sand master from Taldain
* Iyatil - A former member from Silverlight with Southern Scadrian ancestry; left to join the Ghostbloods.
==Trivia==
* Most members of the Seventeenth Shard, including Demoux, use a method that significantly slows aging, but doesn't stop it completely.
* Brandon does not have a book currently planned for them, but they will play a large role in future books.

Shaday

Shaday is a Highlord and member of the Kholin army in Alethkar on Roshar.
==Attributes and Abilities==
As a Highlord, he is presumably a lighteyes of the third dahn. He is a high-ranking military leader, as he discusses strategy with King Elhokar, Azure, Adolin, and other Highlords.
==History==
He was part of a strike team that attempted to retake the Oathgate during the Siege of Kholinar. Shaday held out hope that the Voidbringers and members of the corrupted Palace Guard would turn on each other, but Elhokar dismissed the possibility. Although a few individuals made it to the Oathgate, the Kholin army was overrun by the Singers. Shaday's fate is unknown, but he was likely killed or enslaved along with the other defenders of Kholinar.
== Notes ==
Shadow

The term Shadow is used on multiple planets in the cosmere. It can refer to either:
*Cognitive Shadow, a general Cosmere term referring to spirits that exist primarily in the Cognitive Realm
**Shade, Cognitive Shadows on Threnody that are often simply called "shadows"
*Deepwalker, giant sea predators in the oceans of First of the Sun that the locals refer to as "shadows"
*Alternate past or future versions of a person that can be seen through Allomantically burning atium, malatium, gold, or electrum on Scadrial (e.g. "atium shadow", "gold shadow")
Shadowdays

The shadowdays refers to history before recorded memory on Roshar.
== Definition and Usage ==
The exact definition of when the shadowdays ended seems uncertain and differs between people. The majority of people seem to accept them as including the era of the Silver Kingdoms and the height of the Knights Radiant and ending after the Last Desolation, although it is possible some consider them to extend past that point. Renarin states that there was a time after the shadowdays when the Knights Radiant still existed. However, Dalinar comments that the Recreance is old enough to nearly be part of the shadowdays.
Based on these comments, it is likely the shadowdays are generally considered to have ended sometime between the Last Desolation and the Recreance.
== Art and Literature ==
There are very few surviving pieces of artwork or writing from this time, leading to the lack of knowledge about them. Much of the knowledge of that time comes from fragments, such as a copy of a copy of a mosaic. The Way of Kings--which survives only in translation--is the only complete text from the shadowdays prior to the translation of the Dawnchant, but lost texts like the Eila Stele were rediscovered along with the Dawnchant's translation. The carved pillars in the Kholinar Palace's eastern hall is art surviving from this time.
== Powers and Weapons ==
Some of the hallmarks of the shadowdays are mythical weapons and powers. The Honorblades were forged by Honor and used by the Heralds in fighting Voidbringers. The true nature of the abilities of the Knights Radiant during this time, including Surgebinding and glowing Shardplate, are also mythical to most Rosharans.
== Notable People ==
Notable people who are believed to have lived during the shadowdays include Derethil, a king, and Nohadon, the writer of The Way of Kings.
Raboniel also lived during those days, and she is able to recount to Navani what her grandmother told her after seeing the humans first arriving on Roshar from Ashyn.

Shadows Remembered

Shadows Remembered was a book on Roshar full of children's tales about the Voidbringers. The unnamed female author had been curious about the folktales of the darkeyes and had spent years collecting them.
It was a thin, red book with a hogshide cover. It is likely an older work, as a copy is kept in the Palanaeum, shelved in the same room as Dialogues.
Shallan Davar noticed that Jasnah Kholin had been reading the book, piquing her interest; Shallan later visited the Palanaeum to look for it because she thought it would probably be a philosophical work about a historical murder. After finding the book, Shallan was disappointed by its seemingly mundane content. However, Jasnah's notes indicate that she did not dismiss any mythology about the Voidbringers, as there was always a possibility that folktales could contain elements of truth.

Shale

Shale is a Machineborn knight living in Alornia, and best friend of Emperor Kairominas. He is happily married to Sindria, and has five children.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Shale's appearance and personality are heavily influenced by his Concept, the dashing knight on horseback. As such, he often wears full plate armor, even while lounging, and loves action and adventure. He's grown bored during the 50 years of peace that the State's unification brought, and prefers doing things "the old way," such as traveling on horseback rather than using Kai's flying platforms. Shale also enjoys joking around, often participating in banter with Kai or Besk.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Having served as Kai's bodyguard for many years and going on many adventures, Shale is a very experienced swordsman. Though his skills are never truly shown, his past accomplishments speak to his level of expertise.
== History ==
=== Before Unification ===
Shale has been friends with Kai for a very long time. He journeyed with the Liveborn even before Kai became Emperor. Some of the adventures they went on included fighting barbarians, searching for hidden treasures and secrets, and even slaying dragons. During this time Shale and Kai grew very close, and when they discovered a draught of immortality, Shale was one of the few who Kai shared it with. Shale even had to carry Kai fifty miles through the desert once, after the two got stuck within the Tendrils of Sashim. It is implied that Shale blames himself for the death of Molly, Kai's wife, who died forty years before unification.
=== After Unification ===
Shale has stayed by Kai's side, acting as a personal guard whenever Kai leaves his castle. He also chose to settle down, getting married and having five children. Shale accompanied Kai to investigate the first Border State that appeared. He aided Besk in trying to convince Kai to conquer the State, as he felt the hardy natives would make good subjects, and the metal with which they fought could replace the enchanted swords currently in use.

Shallan's mother

Shallan's mother is a Veden lighteyes on Roshar and a member of House Davar. She has stark red hair and green eyes.
She was the first wife of Lin Davar, and birthed Helaran, Balat, twins Jushu and Wikim, and Shallan.
After Shallan began manifesting Surgebinding abilities at the age of eleven, her mother and an associate attempted to kill Shallan. They arrived at the Davar estate and argued with Lin, and Shallan's mother referred to her as "one of them". Lin and the associate scuffled; Lin injured the man with a knife that Shallan's mother then grabbed as the two men grappled. She attacked Shallan, but Shallan's bonded Cryptic, Testament, manifested as a Shardblade that Shallan used in self-defense to kill her mother.
Lin, who had witnessed what happened, locked the Blade in a box and Shallan abandoned her spren. Lin spread rumors that he had killed his wife and her lover in a jealous rage. Keeping the secret of these events in order to protect Shallan presumably contributed to Lin's dangerous instability and the eventual fall of House Davar. The Davar children also developed mental health issues related to their mother's death and their father's subsequent rage, including Balat's fascination with death and Jushu's gambling addiction. In particular, Shallan's mental health was strongly affected by the guilt of killing her mother, leading to the suppression of many of her childhood memories. When she met Hoid at the Middlefest Fair in , she allowed herself to briefly picture her life if her mother had still been alive, remembering her mother's voice and believing that she would have taught her philosophy and drawing.

Shallow Crypts

The Shallow Crypts is a port settlement on the southern edge of the Frostlands.
The Shallow Crypts is considered to be a very dangerous city by sailors who know it well. The city itself is unremarkable in appearance. It is surrounded by several similar sister cities in the same region. Due to the location of the Shallow Crypts, there is a commonly traveled corridor running through the sparsely populated Frostlands that connects the city with the Shattered Plains and the Alethi warcamps. Even in this corridor, it can be expensive to run a caravan to the Plains without sufficient wares. The people of the Shallow Crypts often trade slaves to caravans of merchants, who transport them to the Shattered Plains for sale. The city also does some trade by sea, managed by the harbormaster.
Tvlakv visited the Shallow Crypts in 1173 after selling Kaladin into slavery. The Wind's Pleasure intended to take port in the Crypts before it capsized after the attempt on Jasnah Kholin's life. Soon after leaving the city, Tvlakv's caravan intercepted Shallan after her ship sunk, and Shallan made him return to the Plains without much in trade beyond his slaves.

Shan Elariel's steward

Shan Elariel employs a Terrisman steward at Keep Elariel in Luthadel during the Final Empire on Scadrial.
==Appearance and Personality==
Shan's steward wears a tinningdar, presumably in the colors of House Elariel. He wears a great deal of jewelry, although there is no direct indication that he is a Feruchemist. Like all stewards in the Final Empire, he is a eunuch. Vin notes that he does not have the same "spirit" as Sazed, and that he always maintains a flat expression. He has a faint Terris accent.
==History==
Shan's steward was present at the ball at Keep Elariel when Vin first used her "Valette Renoux" persona and met Elend Venture. After Elend was seen talking to Valette, the steward was sent to her table with a request (or rather, a demand) from Shan to join her. As Shan met and demeaned Valette, her steward took her dessert plate to the kitchen to be washed. When he returned, Valette noticed that he surreptitiously walked to the table where she had been sitting, looking at some books that Elend had left there. Valette awkwardly excused herself from Shan's table to go interrupt him. The steward saw her coming and smoothly moved on from the table as if nothing had happened. Vin learned that some of the books discussed rebellion against the Lord Ruler, and that Shan likely sent the steward to investigate because she had suspicions about Elend's political leanings. The steward later accompanied Shan to another ball at Keep Lekal.

Shanay-im

The shanay-im, translated as Those Ones of the Heavens and often referred to simply as Heavenly Ones, are a brand of Fused who can use the Surge of Gravitation.
== Abilities ==
The shanay-im are Fused who can manipulate the Surge of Gravitation. These abilities are similar to the Basic Lashing used by the Windrunners and Skybreaker. Shanay-im are often seen manipulating the gravitation vector of both themselves and other bodies and objects, resulting in abilities such as flight, reduced weight, and sending their enemies flying off into the air. The Fused accelerate more slowly than Surgebinders when using Gravitation. This is due to them expending less energy and does not have to do with the gravity of Braize. Over a large span, Fused will go faster than Surgebinders. Fused can only Lash themselves once. These Fused are able to enter space, but cannot travel far, since they would require a large amount of Voidlight to heal due to the lack of air and pressure.
== Culture ==
Shanay-im usually wear extremely long robes, trailing behind them several feet. They utilize long lances suited for aerial combat, with aluminum coating to block Shardblades. The lances also incorporate raysium to drain Stormlight from Radiants.
When fighting Windrunners, they hold an honorable tradition of one-to-one dueling. They raise their weapons to those they wish to duel, and engage upon consent from the Windrunners. The rest of their members float about and do not interfere with the duel. The Windrunners play along with the tradition, as the Windrunners have a smaller number and this prevents them from being ganged up on. This tradition does not extend to normal soldiers.
=== High Chambers ===
After the Fused capture Kholinar, the shanay-im oversee the construction of a line of twenty large spires in the city. The columns are narrow pillars of stone that are about one hundred feet tall. They each have a guardhouse at the bottom that controls access to a wooden staircase that winds up the pillar. The design of the spires is reminiscent of an ancient stone pillar in Narak; they look precariously balanced, yet they are able to survive highstorms. At the top of each spire is a room known as a High Chamber that is open on two sides and has no railings at the edge. These chambers serve as living quarters for the most important of the shanay-im; their Voices typically live in the guardhouse. They have other servants that attend to them, including a stormsetter that is charged with packing up the shanay-im's possessions before each storm. Lesser shanay-im live in conventional housing.
== Notable Shanay-im ==
* Leshwi
* Hnanan
* Rine
* Jeshishin
* Abidi
* Vatwha
== Trivia ==
* The name shanay-im may derive from the Hebrew word "shamayim" (שָׁמַיִם) (IPA: ʃəˈmajim or ʃaˈmajim), which means "heavens".. "-im" is the Hebrew masculine plural suffix, hence the singular would be "shanay" and plural "shanayim". (The word "shamayim" is indeed in the plural, hence the translation "heavens", and "shanayim" as "Heavenly Ones"). 
* The Hebrew word Shnayim (שְׁנַיִם) means "two." This could potentially refer to the fused being two entities.
