Kwati

Kwati is a corrupt government official who lives at the Purelake on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Minister Kwati is a tall and beefy man. He wears a Marabethian wrap and an Azish coat, and is identifiable as a nobleman. He speaks the Azish language and has an overbearing, haughty attitude. Although he lives in the Purelake region, it is likely that he is originally Azish.
== History ==
Ki referred to Kwati as the "high minister" of a small town on the northern border of the Purelake, presumably in Marabethia. A coalition of rulers had agreed to allow the Order of Skybreakers to perform law enforcement functions in the area. The local population consisted of nonviolent Reshi people, so criminals were not usually executed. Instead, convicts from across the region were sent to a prison facility in the town administered by Kwati, who was paid tribute to run the prison. He gave the prisoners forehead tattoos to make them easily identifiable.
When some of the prisoners escaped, Kwati sent a message via spanreed to the Skybreakers, asking them to find the criminals and kill them, since execution was the penalty for escape. The Skybreakers arrived in a few hours, and planned to use the situation as a test for their squires. Once they arrived, Kwati complained that it took them too long.
Szeth found and killed one of the escaped criminals; the convict was emaciated and smelly, and told Szeth that the criminals did not have outside help in their escape. Szeth returned to the town and observed the prison, which was extremely dark inside and had a repulsive odor. He also noticed that there was only a single guard posted in the entire prison. Szeth confronted Kwati about the conditions in the prison, and Kwati tried to dismiss him. However, Szeth persisted, accusing Kwati of pocketing the money intended to fund prison operations. The lack of guards in the prison allowed the prisoners to make weapons in secret, and to form their own economy wherein weaker people did not get any food.
Szeth correctly surmised that Ki was already aware of Kwati's embezzlement. The Skybreakers had not acted sooner because technically Kwati had not committed a crime until the prison conditions became so bad that they motivated and enabled the prisoners to escape. Deducing that Kwati was also guilty was part of the Skybreaker test; after Ki confirmed that Kwati was set to be executed, Szeth killed him using Nightblood. This completely destroyed Kwati's body, as well as his soul.

Kyle Walters

Kyle Walters is the President of Walters and Ostman Detention Enterprises.
He is an older Caucasian man with flecks of grey in his beard. He is somewhat pudgy. He purchases an unnamed gaming company in order to create virtual reality prisons because of the extreme cost it took to upkeep even a single inmate($30,000-60,000); whereas doing it through his VR system costs only $10,000.

Kyndlip Ternavyl

Kyndlip Ternavyl is a resident of Bilming on Scadrial. She is the owner and editor of The Two Seasons broadsheet. She is of Terris heritage, giving her darker skin and kinky hair.
At some point, Kyndlip married and had children. She either started The Two Seasons or became its proprietor some years prior to the Set's endeavor to impress Autonomy; being sympathetic to Elendel interests, she sent staff to Elendel on at least one occasion and interviewed Marasi Colms. In , Kyndlip made a comment unfavorably comparing Bilming's mayor Gave Entrone to a boar. She was subsequently kidnapped by the Set, taken to the caverns underneath Bilming, and placed with other political dissidents. This prompted her family to search for her, appealing to the mayor himself in their efforts, and to publish a notice about her disappearance in the Seasons. While in captivity, Kyndlip took notes on the things she saw and heard. Giving her notebook to Marasi when she, Moonlight, and TwinSoul discovered and freed the group of captives, Kyndlip urgently warned them about the existence of an army put together by the Set and directed them to find the Community. TwinSoul took the group of former captives and guided them back to Bilming. It is likely that Kyndlip later gave evidence against Gave Entrone.

Kyril

Kyril is a Fused who performs inspections in Celebrant in Shadesmar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He has the marbled skin of a singer. He is stern and overbearing, and has a very short temper. Like many Fused, he may not be completely sane.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Kyril's brand of Fused is not clear, but he is capable of flying, implying that he may be a shanay-im. 
== History ==
Kyril was among the Fused that was freed from Braize towards the beginning of the True Desolation. He and another Fused, who was noted to be insane, were assigned to regularly visit Celebrant to inspect ships and ensure that local spren officials were continuing to obey the Voidbringers properly.
Kyril had been visiting Celebrant for several months by the time he arrived there to track down the group that had fled Kholinar through Shadesmar, including Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Azure, Syl, and Pattern. Kyril examined Captain Ico's ship and found traces of human habitation there, including remains of food and a hydrator. He attempted to threaten Ico for information, but accidentally started a fire instead.
After leaving the blazing ship, he stormed into the office of the dock registrar. He encountered several members of Shallan's team, but she was able to avoid detection using her Lightweaver abilities. Kyril demanded to know why he wasn't informed of humans arriving in the city, but the registrar covered for the group, only replying that Kyril hadn't asked him for the information. The Fused ordered the registrar to put out the fire, then told him he would be sacked. He left and flew towards the city market searching for the humans. After the group reconvened, they boarded the Honor's Path, despite Syl's status as a fugitive among the honorspren. Kyril returned to the port, but did not approach his quarry, seemingly afraid of the honorspren. He saw the group board the ship, but he did not follow, instead flying away in a different direction. He presumably relayed what he had seen to his superiors, as the Fused subsequently engaged in a large-scale pursuit of the Honor's Path.

Lady Gardre

Lady Gardre is a member of the Elendel Senate on Scadrial. She served on the Governor's Council. Steris Harms suspects her to be the Set's spy.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Lady Gardre is a plump woman. She is a reasonable and rational politician, much less of a war-hawk than her other counterparts in the Council. 
== History ==
After Steris informed Governor Varlance about a threat to the city, he established a Governor’s Select Council to investigate the issue. This Council included Lady Gardre, Lord Cett and Lady Hammondess. Throughout the Council's discussions, Steris suspected one of them to be a spy for the Set but could not decide who. When the Council unanimously declared that war with Bilming was inevitable, Steris surmised that Gardre was most likely to be the spy, her reasonable nature a front for Set's subterfuge.
With a bomb threat on Elendel imminent, Gardre excused herself from the council shortly before they decided to use the Bands of Mourning. She seemingly did not return. This and Steris' deductions hint that she was actually the spy, but it is not explicitly confirmed.

Lady Lentin

Lady Lentin is a woman in Elendel on Scadrial.
She was present at Winsting Innate's auction, which was attended by crime lords and corrupt nobles; based on her title, she presumably fell into the latter category. She was killed during a shootout that resulted in the deaths of all of the auction guests. During their investigation of the crime scene, Wax and Wayne concluded that she was probably the first person killed as part of Bleeder's plan to sow chaos in the room.

== History ==
She was one of the important women at Aradan Yomen's ball. In order to begin understanding the local politics, Vin confronts her in front of her group of women with a claim that she is planning to abandon the city. Vin then makes clear that she has earned her reputation, citing her killing of Shan Elariel, and says that she and Elend Venture will conquer the city and will have little use for those who opposed them when they do. Vin abruptly leaves, and Patresen's group of women soon abandon her for Vin.
== Trivia ==
* Brandon's friend Janci Patterson helped him get the scene with Patresen right, and so got to rename the character. She chose to name the character after herself, thinking it would be cool to be "the girl who gets spurned by Vin."
== Notes ==
Lady ZoBell

Lady ZoBell is a noble in Elendel on Scadrial.
==Attributes and Abilities==
She is presumably wealthy, as she owns ZoBell Tower, a twenty-story skyscraper in the Fourth Octant of Elendel. The penthouse of the tower, which spans the entire top floor, contains an elegant ballroom. She is also well-connected among the Elendel elite.
==History==
In , she hosted a red carpet party in her penthouse attended by many nobles from Elendel and other cities in the Basin. Governor Replar Innate was scheduled to give his spring dinner and policy speech at the party. Security was increased at the tower due to a recent assassination attempt on Innate, leading to some guests being turned away. Although Waxillium Ladrian and his crew encountered Bleeder at the party, there was no indication that Lady ZoBell had been aware of Bleeder's presence.
==Trivia==
*She is named after Kaylynn ZoBell, from Brandon's writing group.

Lady ZoBell's party

Lady ZoBell's Party is an event that takes place in ZoBell Tower in Elendel. 
This is the first party held in the penthouse of ZoBell Tower and was planned around the governor’s spring dinner and policy speech. Invitations were sent to the upper crust of the society, both in Elendel and beyond.
As Steris predicts, the coach attendants at the entrance of the tower were not properly prepared to handle all of the traffic and it backs up significantly. This is complicated by increased security due to the assassination attempt on the governor earlier that day. As a result they are turning away anyone who is not specifically on the guest list, even if they have procured an invitation. 
Wayne and Marasi both end up on the list of people who are not to be let in under any circumstances. Wayne uses a time bubble to sneakily examine the guest list and determines that he should impersonate Professor Hanlanaze. Marasi aids him in this disguise.
While Wax and Steris are talking to Governor Innate, Bleeder begins to talk mentally to Wax. The conversation includes a threat to Wax's father, who Wax takes to mean Steris's father. After carefully studying the movements of everyone else in the room, Wax concludes that Bleeder is impersonating a particular waiter. There is a scuffle in which Wayne tackles the waiter and is dog-piled by the governor's guards. The waiter escapes in the confusion and Wax spots him near a window. Bleeder tries to distract Wax by mentioning Lessie, but Wax shoots at the waiter anyway and misses, hitting a window instead. The waiter smashes the window and leaps out. Wax follows.

Laird

Prelan Laird was an obligator of the Canton of Finance on Scadrial during the times of the Final Empire.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Like all obligators Laird is bald and wears a dark gray robe, but the complex tattoos around his eyes mark him as more than an ordinary obligator, namely a prelan. Laird has a lordly air, he doesn't bother to bow back to lesser noblemen or to dismiss servants.
== History ==
He visited Camon to arrange a transportation deal. Camon, who acted as 'Lord Jedue', tried to swindle the prelan by setting up a contract he wouldn't live up to. Laird was suspicious of Camon's too good to be true offer, but after repeated Soothings by Vin he said that he was willing to propose Camon's adjusted offer to the council again.
It is likely that Laird felt Vin's Soothings, as obligators are trained to recognize this, and Camon's follow-up appointment with the ministry was planned with High Prelan Arriev who was better suited to decide if either Vin or Camon was an Allomancer.

Lait

Laits are areas of Roshar that are protected from highstorms by rock cliffs or outcroppings.
==Characteristics==
True laits are not susceptible to rapid erosion and last for many years. Although laits vary widely in size, the rock formations at the top must be at a certain angle to provide effective shelter. Crem buildup may actually increase the effectiveness of a lait. Laits have good drainage that prevent flooding from storms. Flora and fauna tend to be abundant in laits, due to the protection that they provide. Laits all face in the same direction due to the consistent path of highstorms; Kaladin realizes that this strength is actually a weakness in the face of the Everstorm.
==Use==
Many settlements are built in the protection of massive laits, including Kharbranth and Bornwater. Laits are desirable places to live, and sometimes attract wealthy residents. Laits have been used as natural shelter for many millenia; the town where Heb and his family lived during the Heraldic Epochs was situated in a lait.
Legend holds that Kharbranth's bells were first erected to alert people to the arrival of a highstorm because the city's lait provides such effective shelter. Szeth remarks that people from eastern Roshar engineer their houses to deflect highstorms out of habit, even within a lait.
The Fourth Bridge took shelter in large laits during breaks in its endurance testing over the Steamwater Ocean.
==Trivia==
* The term "lait" is a transliteration, rather than translation, of the Rosharan name for a place where the storms are blocked. Lait is also presumably used as a transliteration from the Listener language, as Eshonai uses the same term.

Lak

Lak is the currency of all nations in Dayside on Taldain. They are coins that vary in color, made of rare and valuable semi-precious gemstones, cut into a circular shape. Lak are referred to by their color, and when no color is mentioned, blue lak are presumed.
The average daily salary for middle and upper-class worker is two-hundred-fifty lak, often given as fifty green lak or twenty-five red lak.

Lake Alonoe

Lake Alonoe is a body of water located near the center of Arelon on the continent of Opelon on Sel, created by the flow of rivers from the southwestern mountains. The Aredel River flows from it and empties into the northern Sea of Fjorden. It is among the largest lakes on the continent and fed the Aredel River.
Lake Alonoe, along with the Atad Mountains, the northern coastline, and the Chasm, is one of the four essential parts to Aon Aon. It is represented by a dot in the center of the Aon.

Lake Luthadel

Lake Luthadel is a body of water northeast of Luthadel, along the River Channerel.
Due to its proximity to the ashmounts, Lake Luthadel is a sludgy mixture with more ash than water. The canal workers of the area devote their lives to keeping the lake and the river navigable by watercraft. Being both full of ash and located next to a city of hungry skaa, the lake is thought to have little to no fish left in it.
== In the Cognitive Realm ==
In the Cognitive Realm, the lake is more solid than the land surrounding it. Its flat surface rises a few inches high and seems to be made of a smoky stone. Plants, with mist rising from their leaves, grow abundantly on the solid stone.
It is on this lake that Kelsier meets Khriss and Nazh.
== Notes ==
Lakstone

Lakstone is a mineral mined on Taldain. It is used to make lak, the currency used in Lossand. It's metallic silver in appearance, and can be broken down into small shards.
Delius once financed a lakstone mine at Vey's suggestion, hoping to make a fortune. He eventually went bankrupt and had to sell the mine to Vey, who hit a seam of lakstone only a week later. The profits from the mine were enough to make him the Lord Merchant in the Lossandin Taishin.

Lamentation Winebare

Lamentation Winebare is a horse thief in the Forests of Hell on Threnody.
== Appearance & Personality ==
Lamentation has a long and slender neck and a potato-shaped head.
He speaks with a Lastport accent, and is a very jumpy, sweaty, and nervous person, most likely due to his past crimes as a horse thief.
== History ==
At some point in the past, Lamentation steals some horses, earning him a tiny bounty of two measures of silver.
Later, under the name of Earnest, he speaks to Daggon in Silence's waystop about the White Fox. Lamentation buys Daggon drinks to get him to tell stories about the White Fox, such as how he caught Makepeace Hapshire. Daggon assures him that the White Fox would not go after such a petty criminal as Lamentation.
Some time after Silence's capture of Chesterton Divide, Lamentation takes work on a homestead. However, he pays to spend each night in Silence's waystop because he cannot get used to how the homesteaders allow shades to float around the homestead, and even inside the buildings.
Lamentation has a cousin who claims to have seen the shade of Silence's husband guarding her waystop.

Lanacin

Lanacin the Surefooted is a historical figure on Roshar.
He is said to have killed a Shardbearer and won a Shardblade. He was presumably Alethi, as there is a monument to Lanacin in southwest Kholinar.
Kaladin knew of his story, and believed that the stories of men like Lanacin and Evod Markmaker indicated that opportunities for darkeyes had decreased over time in Alethkar.
Either Lanacin the Surefooted or Evod Markmaker actually poisoned a Shardbearer to obtain their Shards, although this isn't well known.

Lancer

The lanceryn (singular: lancer) are a type of greatshell native to Aimia.
The lanceryn were originally the Ancient Guardians or Guardians of Ancient Sins, tasked with the keeping of the Dawnshard underneath Akinah. Like all greatshells, the lanceryn were enormous. It is likely they could fly and bonded mandras. They, like the modern larkin, had the ability to feed on Investiture. At the fall of their species, the Sleepless took over their role protecting the Dawnshard. Some hordelings had bred with lanceryn prior to their fall, thus passing on the ability to feed on Investiture, albeit in a limited manner.
It is commonly believed that the lanceryn died off during the scouring of Aimia, to the dismay of those who had harvested their gemhearts. They were the last creature known to produce gemhearts of large size prior to the discovery of the chasmfiends on the Shattered Plains. However, it appears that the lanceryn live on in some way in larkin. The Sleepless Nikliasorm believes that Chiri-Chiri, a larkin, is an Ancient Guardian in her own right. It also says that lanceryn are now called larkin. They are "kind of the same species." Although there is some relationship between the two, it is unclear as of yet exactly what that relationship is.
In the undersea caverns of Aimia, there is a room containing six greatshell skulls made of carapace, presumably belonging to lanceryn. They appear to turn to face Rysn while she is in a nearby cavern.
