Shaod

Shaod is a term describing the process of being converted into an Elantrian. The word is based on the Aon Shao which means transformation or change.
== Lore ==
The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night. The people it chooses are seemingly random (though not completely) and may be from any age or class in society. The Shaod only takes people from Arelon or Teod, and occasionally Duladel. It is suspected that this is due to AonDor's close Connection with Arelon and its geography in general. A person needs to have some genetic ties to Arelon and be in Arelon to be taken by the Shaod. Immediate proximity to Elantris or Elantrians does not increase one's chances of being taken by the Shaod. A non-human could become an Elantrian.
There is an upper limit to the number of Elantrians there can be at a given time. There are ways to reverse the Shaod.
== Physical Effects ==
Those affected by the Shaod are transformed into Elantrians: they have brilliant white hair, silver skin, and seem almost to shine. Their bodies are able to heal quickly and they have superior strength, speed, and mental abilities, as well as access to the AonDor. If the Shaod strikes a pregnant woman, the unborn child becomes an Elantrian.
=== Incomplete Shaod ===
During the time that the Shaod was unable to complete itself, the Shaod caused those affected by it to have grey skin with "sickly black patches" and caused their hair to fall out. Their bodies became unable to heal and so continuously accumulated injuries. It is possible to mimic some of the physical characteristics of the failed Shaod (Hrathen does so through the use of a crafted poison).
== History ==
After the Reod, the Shaod could not complete itself because the geographical region around Elantris had changed from the configuration depicted in the Aon Rao formed by Elantris and its surrounding cities, altered by the appearance of a chasm after the Reod. The incomplete transformation rendered their bodies unable to heal. In the years following, it was therefore considered a curse to be chosen by the Shaod. Those stricken with the Shaod were treated as dead (complete with burial wrappings and a funeral offering of food) and exiled to Elantris, where they would accumulate eternally painful injuries until they succumbed to the pain. When Raoden added a line representing the new chasm to Aon Rao, the Dor was able to complete the transformation of those stricken by the Shaod, transforming them into full Elantrians.

Shaor

Shaor was a young girl who became an Elantrian before Raoden did. She was head of one of the city's three gangs, and her men were known for their wild brutality.
Upon seeing Shaor, Raoden recognized her as Soine, the daughter of Duke Telrii who had claimed she died of dionia. She had been bald and had worn a wig of golden hair. When entering Elantris the priests had not bothered to remove the wig, thinking it was her real hair which had yet to fall out. Because of her supposedly golden hair, she was worshiped by men who had gone mad in Elantris.
When Raoden formed New Elantris and Shaor's men were restricted of their food supply from new Elantrians, they killed Shaor and took her wig to Raoden, to express their new allegiance to him.

Shardhammer

A shardhammer, also known as a warhammer is an enormous battle hammer that can only be wielded by someone in Shardplate. Contrary to what its name might suggest, it is not an ancient magical weapon like Shardplate or a Shardblade, but rather, a more modern creation. Dalinar's warhammer is described as having a haft as "thick as a man's wrist" with the front of the head being larger than a man's fist. It could barely be lifted by two men and was carried on a cart. A Shardbearer's hammer is a common weapon for someone who owns a set of plate, but no Shardblade.
== Notable Mentions ==
Dalinar used his warhammer to dig a latrine ditch as he contemplated stepping down as Highprince. 
Sadeas recalls an incident one year after the assassination of Gavilar in which he slaughtered a large number of Parshendi with only his hammer.
When Adolin posed as Dalinar to meet with Eshonai on the Shattered Plains, Teleb wore a Shardhammer strapped to his back.
On a plateau run where Adolin assists other highprinces in a failed attempt to collect a gemheart, Jakamav carries a shardhammer as a member of his team.
During Adolin's duel-gone-bad, Elit wears the King's borrowed Shardplate and fights with a Shardbearer's hammer.
Before either had Shardblades, Dalinar and Sadeas both use warhammers as their primary weapon. Specifically during the battle of The Rift.
During the Battle of Thaylen Field Hrdalm uses a warhammer while battling a Thunderclast with Adolin.

Sharefel

Sharefel is a listener on Roshar and a leader of the First-Rhythm family.
==Appearance and Personality==
Sharefel is an older malen, and his skin pattern is predominantly black. The color of his Shardplate is unknown, but it is described as "glistening". He speaks with a soft voice, often to the Rhythm of the Lost, and commands a great deal of respect among his family.
==Attributes and Abilities==
The First-Rhythm family is said to have noble heritage, and Sharefel serves as the head of the family. Even when Eshonai first feels the strength of warform, she approaches him with reverence.
He becomes a full Shardbearer at an advanced age, but he adheres to the listener tradition of only using the Shards to hunt greatshells.
==History==
Sharefel's early history is unknown. He notes that he sang the "old songs" of the listeners (such as the Song of Listing) for a long time, hoping to rediscover how to take on warform.
Circa , the First-Rhythm family conquered one of the eight proper listener cities of the Shattered Plains, and the defeated family relinquished the city's Shardplate and Shardblade to Sharefel's possession. Sharefel took up residence in a hut near the front of the city. The hut was close to the drums, and was one of the family's strongest and best-maintained structures.
On the day that Eshonai and several others first successfully adopted warform, Sharefel was quickly informed about the breakthrough. Venli insisted that Eshonai and the other warforms personally speak with him as soon as possible, as one of the other listener families had come to try to win the city. Sharefel was pleased by their accomplishment and asked how they had done it; he was surprised to learn that the key to the form was painspren, since they fled during highstorms. Eshonai informed him that they trapped the painspren using a human method, and Sharefel said he would soon take on the form himself. However, he believed it was time for a new Shardbearer, and asked which of the new warforms would take his Shards. Melu was the most eager to take them, but as Thude held her back, Eshonai realized that a fight might break out over the choice. She instead asked Sharefel to wear the Plate when they went to speak to the invading family as part of their intimidation tactics. He agreed, although he insisted that he would not attack them.
His fate during the War of Reckoning is unknown. Eshonai came to own a full set of Shards, but it is not clear if they came from Sharefel.

Shash

Shash can be three different things:
* The first letter of the Hallandren alphabet on Nalthis.
* On Roshar, shash is the name of two different glyphs:
** See Glyphs/Index#Shash (Lightweaver) for the glyph used for the Herald Shalash, the Order of Lightweavers, and the number six. As the number six, shash is also used as the name for the sixth month of the Rosharan calendar as well as the name of the sixth gas giant from the sun of the Rosharan system.
** See Glyphs/Index#Shash (dangerous) for the glyph meaning "dangerous" that was branded onto Kaladin's forehead.
* A gas giant in the Rosharan System

Shasta Smedry

Shasta Smedry (aka Ms. Fletcher) is a Librarian. She married Attica Smedry, gaining his Talent for losing things, and is Alcatraz's mother.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Shasta has a tendency to wear simple, plain clothes. She has long blond hair, which she wears in a bun. Like many Librarians, she wears a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.
While working undercover as Ms. Fletcher, Alcatraz's caseworker, she acted quite unpleasantly toward him, often criticizing Alcatraz. However, she is shown to care about her son when Alcatraz uses his Truthfinder's Lens on her, and during the events of Siege of Mokia, they have a discussion like two equals. While interacting with other Librarians, she is curt and businesslike. She is serious most of the time, but on occasion displays a very sarcastic sense of humor.
Shasta appears to be ashamed that she doesn't have full control over her Smedry Talent. However, she typically keeps an unflappable demeanor and is able to brush off most criticisms.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Shasta has the Smedry Talent of losing things by virtue of her marriage to Attica, although she isn't able to control it very well. Nevertheless, she manages to use her Talent to great effect at least once.
Shasta also demonstrates considerable skill at sleight of hand on multiple occasions. She is very intelligent and excellent at turning situations to her advantage, thinking on her feet, and commanding authority.
== History ==
Shasta married Attica Smedry, despite the objections of Attica's father Leavenworth, who believed she was only manipulating Attica to get his Talent. Together, Attica and Shasta researched the origins of Smedry Talents and the Sands of Rashid. Shasta gave birth to Alcatraz in Nalhalla and shortly after, she and Attica separated.
After Alcatraz's birth, Shasta left with him for the Hushlands and acted as his caseworker, Ms. Fletcher, keeping her true identity secret from him. On his thirteenth birthday, she arrived to steal the Sands of Rashid, which had arrived for him earlier that day. A few months later, she found out through an unknown means that Attica had gone to the Library of Alexandria. Shasta notified Leavenworth and pursued Attica to the Library herself, claiming his Translator's Lenses.
Shasta brought the Lenses to Nalhalla, where she plotted to steal a book from the Nalhallan Royal Archives (Not a Library!) using Transporter's Glass. The Lenses were taken by Alcatraz, but she managed to retain possession of the book, which she later burned. She was captured by the Mokians during the Siege of Mokia, and stayed there willingly until she left with Alcatraz, Leavenworth, Kaz, and Draulin for the Highbrary. There, she was knocked out by Attica.
== Trivia ==
Her first name is likely a reference to Mount Shasta in California. The name Fletcher is likely a reference to Fletcher Mountain in the Rocky Mountains.

Shauka-daughter-Hasweth

Shauka-daughter-Hasweth is a Shin philosopher on Roshar. She may be the sister of another Shin scholar, Ali-daughter-Hasweth.
She was one of several that Jasnah asked if Shallan had read during her evaluation for wardship. Shallan had not heard the name previously and felt incredulous surprise that there were Shin logicmasters. Later Shallan bought a thin, green volume written by Shauka-daughter-Hasweth from a Thaylen book merchant, Artmyrn, who admitted to never having heard any of her works read, saying: "I didn't realize that there were any Shin philosophers of note."

Sheler

Brightlord Sheler is a commander in Meridas Amaram's army from Alethkar on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is a lighteyes of the fifth dahn. He is very arrogant and self-righteous, even as a prisoner.
== History ==
In , Sheler commanded a company fighting for Sadeas princedom in Meridas Amaram's army during a battle with Hallaw's forces. A group of his soldiers became outnumbered while defending a hilltop and were suffering heavy casualties, but Sheler ordered them to stand their ground. One of his squadleaders, Varth, sacrificed several messenger boys as a distraction, including Tien. Sheler was presumably acting on orders from Amaram, who wanted Hallaw's forces to bunch up so that he could ride in with his cavalry and rout them; he placed his own glory above the lives of his men.
Sheler later moved to the border to fight the Herdazians, and he learned their language over time. Using the invasion of his homeland by singers as an excuse, he robbed and murdered Herdazian civilians and abused their women. When he was taken captive by the Herdazian general Dieno enne Calah (aka The Mink), he demanded the "right of ransom", but Dieno told him that he had forfeited that right by committing war crimes. Instead, Sheler was given three options for punishment: beheading by the women that he abused, being tortured with a hammer and hung from a cliff with no protection from the highstorm, or wrestling "the hog". He chose to fight the hog, assuming it was a pig, and began to formulate plans to seek vengeance on the Herdazians for humiliating him. He was doused in a foul-smelling oil and left shackled on the beach as the Herdazians used a horn to summon the hog, which was actually a huge sea creature with enormous claws. Sheler saw the creature break the surface of the ocean while the Herdazians placed wagers on how long he would survive; his ultimate fate is unknown.
== Trivia ==
*Sheler's company uses a black glyphpair with shesh and lerel.
*Sheler states that he is cousin to the highlord, presumably referring to Meridas Amaram.
*The description of the hog is similar to that of large greatshells such as the yu-nerig.

Shelldry

Shelldry is a game played in the Final Empire on Scadrial. The rules of the game are unknown, but it requires four people to play.
Milen Davenpleu and Lords Rene and Tyden played the game together. Milen once failed to show up to a scheduled outing, preventing the game from proceeding. During a ball at Keep Hasting, Milen had an obligator witness his promise to play the next day in order to reassure the other men that he would not brush them off again.

Shewrman

Lord Shewrman is an infamously bad party guest in Elendel.
Shewrman is a stocky man with long hair. He is a bore when sober, but he is usually a drunken buffoon. He is the least-likable person in the upper-society of Elendel, according to Lady Steris Harms.
He attends the Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner; his invitation was intended to be seen as an insult to those who did not receive one.

Shiki

Shiki is an Unkalaki drink on Roshar.
==Characteristics==
It is brown in color, and mixed in large metal bins and chilled overnight. It is served cold from a large pot or cauldron.
==History==
Lunamor once tried making shiki for Bridge Four. Bridge Four mostly declined to drink the shiki, choosing to drink beer instead.
During a training session in Narak, Lunamor tried making the drink again. Huio added some lazbo to a batch, annoying Lunamor. However, Lunamor was surprised to find that the spices complemented the drink perfectly, and it became a very tasty drink. He had the members of Bridge Four try the shiki again and this time they loved it, partly because it was so refreshing after they had exerted themselves during the training.
== Notes ==
Shiloh

Shiloh is a sword used by Jax. It is a sword from the U.S. Civil War, presumably a Model 1832 foot artillery sword. It is 25 inches long, double edged, has a 4 inch crossguard, and has a hilt made of solid brass.
Shiloh was originally owned by Dan, but Jax took it with him when he joined the Reckoners after Dan died. When Jax arrived at the Coop, Shiloh was taken from him by Zeff, who said that the sword would be returned once Jax could actually use it. After Jax became skilled with practice swords and eventually struck back at Zeff, Zeff gave Shiloh back to him.
During the infiltration of Lux, Jax uses Shiloh to try to kill Lifeforce after the original plan fails. Lifeforce uses the stolen power of the Epic Shiversting to shatter the sword, and the pieces are later sent to Parik's lab. When the Reckoners pass through the lab while retrieving their things, Paige collects the broken shards of the sword. Once at a safe house, Paige welds the pieces back together, repairing the blade and giving it to Jax as a suprise gift. That is when Jax decides on Shiloh's name. During their final confrontation with Lifeforce, Jax realizes that his weakness is silver and loops Dan's silver ring onto Shiloh, then uses the boomerang watch to stab Shiloh into Lifeforce, killing him.

Shimmerbay

Shimmerbay is a port city in the Emerald Sea on Lumar, and is located far from Kingsport.
Crow decided to sail to Shimmerbay so Tress could "escape" when she tricked Crow into thinking that she--if she had the opportunity--would tell the king's men that the Crow's Song crew killed everyone on the Oot's Dream, and thus are deadrunners. At Shimmerbay, Tress decided to become a pirate and joined the Crow's Song as their sprouter.

ShinDa

ShinDa is a popular board game that originated in JinDo, which was played throughout Arelon and Teod on Sel during the Late Era.
Kiin and Raoden played ShinDa in King Iadon's throne room every afternoon. This made Iadon uncomfortable, because Kiin had refused a noble title to spite Iadon's system, and Iadon could not remove them without violating his own law that every lord and every invitee of Raoden, the crowned prince, was welcome in the throne room.
Every MaeDal, King Eventeo and Lord Eoden played ShinDa in Teod.

Shiqua

A shiqua is a garment worn by the Tashikki on Roshar.
==Design==
A shiqua is a long single sheet, wrapped around the entirety of the wearer's body from head to toe, winding around arms and legs individually, sometimes also being wrapped back around the waist as a skirt. The garment is worn by both men and women. The fabric used in a shiqua is usually a solid color such as yellow, black, or brown. To create the garment, the fabric must be draped and tied around the body in a distinctive way. Cloth wrapped around the body haphazardly will identify the wearer as a foreigner. Arclo has learned to correctly wrap a shiqua, as it helps him conceal his true form. Adolin noticed at least one spren in Celebrant wearing a shiqua with trousers, an unusual combination.
==Cultural Significance==
The shiqua has a religious purpose: to cover up the wearer's body from an entity named Nun Raylisi (Rayse), the enemy of the god Tashi. Tashikki people almost always wear the wraps, even in far-off lands such as Kharbranth. Within Tashikk, it is considered less necessary to fully cover the body, because it is believed that Tashi protects the residents there. People therefore sometimes adjust the shiqua to expose their head and face within their homeland; they may also pull up the shiqua to allow more movement in their legs. Some Tashikki do wear other types of clothing; the Tashikki ambassador to Urithiru notably wore a flowery suit to the first meeting of the monarchs.
== Notes ==
Shishi (Roshar)

Shishi is an entity mentioned by Evi Kholin, who attributes the mysterious circumstances by which spren do or do not appear to Shishi.
It is unclear who or what Shishi is. It may be a being of Iriali religion or folk tradition; perhaps a different name or aspect of their deity, the One. Evi is Riran but she is known to believe in the Iriali concept of the One, and she considers the mysteries of the natural world to be given to humankind by Shishi. As she later states that all mysteries are resolved once people rejoin the One, it's possible that Shishi and the One are separate entities.
Evi is also known to believe in some aspects of Vorinism and uses unique Riran names for the Heralds, such as "Yaysi" for Jezrien and "Kellai" for Kalak. Additionally, Ishar is sometimes refered to as the Herald of Mysteries, so Shishi could refer to him. It could also refer to another Herald, such as Shalash.
== Trivia ==
* Shishi sounds similar to the Chinese word 事实 (Shìshí), meaning "fact", which may or may not tie in with it being a giver of mysteries. It's also the same as the Japanese word for "lion".

Shiversting

Shiversting is an Epic. She had the ability to shatter metal objects, and possibly other things. The power leaves a slight black discoloration on the shattered pieces. With Parik's help, Lifeforce uses Shiversting's DNA to steal her power. Lifeforce later uses Shiversting's power to shatter Jax's sword. The power caused black veins to spread throughout the sword before it shattered. 
== Notes ==
