Mainland

The mainland is a landmass (presumably a continent) on First of the Sun, a planet in the Drominad System.
==Geography and Ecology==
The mainland lies "across the seas" from the Eelakin Islands, but within sailing distance.
The mainland's natural resources appear to differ from those of the Eelakin Islands and the Pantheon. Food on the mainland is more plentiful than it is in the Pantheon; even trappers occasionally visit the mainland seeking provisions and supplies. The mainland also has animal species that differ from those found on the islands. It does not have the deadly beasts of the Pantheon such as deepwalkers and nightmaws, and Vathi was able to immediately identify Sak as a mainlander bird species.
==History==
Little is known about the mainland outside of its interactions with the residents of the Eelakin Islands. The Eelakin people were once simple wayfinders. Over time, the islands were "tamed" and their society became industrialized (with the notable exception of trappers who still live in the Pantheon). As Eelakin society progressed, the residents had increased contact with the mainlanders. Many Eelakin began using mainlander names for their children instead of traditional names.
One of the notable consequences of this contact was that mainlanders learned of the magical talents bestowed by Aviar. They placed significant demand on the Eelakin to capture Aviar and provide them to mainlanders for sale or trade. Aviar were formerly very expensive and rarely seen on the mainland, but prices began falling, likely due to increased supply from mercantile concerns such as the Northern Interests Trading Company. This increased demand even further, and the companies began working on ways to find and capture more Aviar.

Makh

Makh is a well-known darkeyed wrestler in Kholinar on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
==Appearance and Personality==
Makh is a tall, powerfully built man with enormous arms. He is bald and has dark green eyes. Makh can be an angry and aggressive man but he is not foolhardy, and refuses to fight Dalinar Kholin out of fear for his own well-being. 
==Attributes and Abilities==
Makh was presumably a highly skilled fighter, as he was rumored to have been undefeated. 
==History==
In 1151, Makh was set to fight in a featured freeform bout in a firemoss den when his opponent cancelled due to illness. Makh was enraged, arguing with the lighteyed organizers about the cancellation, until Dalinar Kholin suddenly challenged him to a fight. Makh was stunned and quickly refused the request, due to his fear that Dalinar would permanently injure him. Dalinar was surprised, and Bashin and Havar told him that he had recently maimed multiple people in a tavern fight, although he did not remember doing so.

Makkek

Makkek is a darkeyed criminal in Bavland on Roshar. He owns Szeth for a short while before being killed by one of Taravangian's assassins.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Makkek is a short, lean man, although he grows more plump before his death. He's extremely ambitious and self-confident, to the point of recklessness, and has no problem flaunting his wealth. He has a flair for the dramatic, even when it's highly impractical. At the same time, he's extremely paranoid, and has no compunctions against having people who stand in his way killed. This being said, he does not demand that Szeth murder everyone even remotely connected to his target, though this might be a matter of carelessness rather than mercy.
Like all Bavlanders, he has a habit of saying "I" as "Oi".
== History ==
Makkek was a part of a group of footpads operating in the town of Ironsway in Bavland when they killed Took, Szeth's master at the time. When Makkek noticed Szeth holding Took's dead body, he called him over, intending to quiet him if the need arose, but while searching Took's belongings, he picked up Szeth's Oathstone. Upon learning how it worked, he decided to keep it. Shortly afterwards, he ordered Szeth to kill his fellow footpads in order to keep the Oathstone's existence a secret.
For some time afterwards, Makkek had Szeth assassinate his rivals and act as his bodyguard, building the Shin's reputation as a deadly shadow -- and his own reputation as a criminal mastermind by association. He moved to Bornwater, the largest mining town in Bavland, and used Szeth's skills to suborn or destroy pretty much every business and criminal in the city. This allowed him to amass considerable wealth, which he flaunted with silk clothes and numerous lovers. His ambitions stretched further, as he intended to move to Kneespike, the residence of a local lord. Throughout that time, Szeth never told him about having a Shardblade, although Makkek eventually began to figure it out after rumors of burned-out eyes began to spread.
At one point, a man named Gavashaw opened a tavern in Bornwater and ignored Makkek's demands, having the favor of the lord in Kneespike. This prompted Makkek to send Szeth to kill him; however, the Diagram had been waiting for such an opportunity. As soon as Szeth left to kill Gavashaw, their assassin murdered Makkek and took the Oathstone, then brought it and Makkek's head to Szeth.

Malad-son-Zent

Malad-son-Zent was a Shin soldier during the Last Desolation who fought at Aharietiam. He wore lavis fiber wraps with hogshide sandals and fought with a bronze tipped spear.
Dalinar Kholin took the place of Malad in one of his earliest visions, in which he witnessed another Shin man discover the abandoned Honorblades.
== Notes ==
Malal

Malal is a singer on Roshar who is one of Leshwi's soldiers. They are known to Venli and have moral qualities that set them apart from the type of soldier who serves Lezian.
Venli noted that Malal and Rothan were some of the singers who did not participate when Lezian and his troops began attacking the defenseless Radiants and civilian humans in Urithiru.
== Notes ==
Malan

Malan is a lighteyed Alethi military officer on Roshar.
== Appearance and personality ==
He is described as tall and stately. He wears a matching steel helm and breastplate, with a dark blue uniform that identifies him as a ranking officer in the Kholin army. He is dutiful and appears to faithfully adhere to military procedures, as he is seen saluting "crisply" in the midst of a deadly battle. He is trusted by Dalinar.
== History ==
He is a captainlord of the Cobalt Guard assigned to protect Adolin Kholin. He participates in the Battle of the Tower and encounters Kaladin, who tells him to retreat. However, he refuses to leave Adolin. Instead, he leads the Cobalt Guard as they follow Kaladin to rescue Dalinar from the Parshendi Shardbearer, Eshonai.
After the Battle of Narak, Dalinar mentions that he would have assigned Malan to investigate the murders of Torol Sadeas and Vedekar Perel in Urithiru if he were still alive. It is not clear when exactly he was killed.
== Notes ==
Malasha Seveks

Malasha Seveks is a lighteyed woman on Roshar who was courted by Adolin Kholin.
==Appearance and Personality==
Malasha is likely Alethi since she was present in the warcamps in the Shattered Plains. She wears her hair up in braids and is considered to be very nice looking.
She is curious about war and asks Adolin if she can accompany him to the battlefield; she becomes annoyed when he will not let her come. Dalinar considers a woman desiring to watch the fighting to be "unnatural". Malasha's interest in war is indeed unusual given Adolin's description of her as "rather religious", since the Vorin work Arts and Majesty expressly defines combat as a masculine art.
==History==
Adolin started courting Malasha in shortly after Janala Lustow grew bored of him. Malasha was religious, and Adolin liked her enough to spend time listening to readings from The Arguments. However, Malasha started to grow cold towards Adolin after he refused to satisfy her curiosity by taking her with him on a plateau run. Adolin still seemed interested, but also became intrigued by Danlan Morakotha. Malasha and Adolin broke up a short time later.

Malatium

Malatium is an alloy of atium and gold. The exact use is unclear; it allows an Allomancer to see either who another person was in the past, or who they could have become if they had made different choices. This metal is referred to in legend as the Eleventh Metal. It is described as being silvery white in color, similar to porcelain.
== Allomantic Use ==
Malatium acts as a counterpart to atium, in that it allows an Allomancer to see into another person's past.
Flaring malatium allows an Allomancer to see not just a malatium shadow of a person, but seems to give them a glimpse into the Spiritual Realm, allowing them to see a vision of a past event in another person's life by seeing their Connection and their past.
Malatium is different from other Allomantic metals in that, when it is burned, the Allomancer does not draw upon the power of Preservation. Instead, its effects are powered by Ruin's Investiture in the atium of the alloy.
== Feruchemical Use ==
Malatium, when used by a Feruchemist, has unknown properties.
== Hemalurgic use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, malatium steals some unknown trait or quality.
== History ==
While learning Allomancy from Gemmel, Kelsier infiltrates Keep Shezler and, after defeating the Mistborn Antillius Shezler, comes across Shezler's notes theorizing about a possible eleventh Allomantic metal. Even after becoming Harmony, Sazed could not find any prior legends about an eleventh metal and concluded that the legends were likely fabricated by Ruin to help drive Kelsier's plan to kill the Lord Ruler. Between Shezler's apparent mental instability, which might have allowed Ruin to speak to him, and Ruin's ability to manipulate text, it is entirely plausible that Ruin could have been behind the creation of Shezler's notes. Furthermore, Gemmel, the person who directed Kelsier to Keep Shezler and drew his attention to Shezler's notes in the first place, showed signs of being manipulated by Ruin, suggesting that Ruin was indeed intentionally leading Kelsier to the notes. Ruin later claimed that he was in fact responsible for manipulating Kelsier into "discovering" the metal.

Malchin

Malchin was a warrior on Roshar during the Heraldic Epochs. He attempted to become a member of the Order of Lightweavers, but was unable to do so.
==History==
Malchin is said to have been a skilled warrior who wished to become a Lightweaver. Malchin wanted his Radiant oaths, the Immortal Words, to be straightforward. However, the spren of the Lightweavers (known as Cryptics) required their bonded Radiants to speak personal "truths" in order to progress beyond the First Ideal, and Malchin did not have enough self-awareness to do so. It is not clear whether the Cryptics declined to bond with him at all or if he bonded a Cryptic and then failed to progress, but he did not become a Lightweaver.
==Significance==
Malchin is only known from Words of Radiance, which was written at least hundreds of years after his lifetime, so the historicity of his story is not known. If it is accurate, he likely lived near the beginning of the Heraldic Epochs when the nature of the Nahel bond with Cryptics was not well-understood. Malchin's story illustrates the fact that not every individual would be suited to join a given Order of the Knights Radiant.

Malise Gevelmar

Malise Gevelmar is a lighteyes from Jah Keved on Roshar. She is the second wife of Lin Davar and the stepmother of his children, including Shallan.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Malise is short and plump. She has "buttonlike features" and black hair with blonde streaks.
She is the youngest daughter of Brightlord Gevelmar. House Gevelmar is rural and not particularly notable. As a member of the nobility, she has some disdain for those of lower dahn. She is generally non-threatening, but is capable of significant anger. 
== History ==
Shortly after Shallan's mother died, her father married Malise and she moved into the Davar estate in Valam princedom. Around that time, the Davar family was going broke, the oldest son Helaran had deserted the family, and Lin was increasingly unstable, often throwing things at his servants or beating them severely. Over the next few years, Lin's sanity seemed to gradually decline despite the discovery of valuable quarries on Davar lands.
Malise initially accepted Lin's story that Shallan's mother was killed by her lover in a murder-suicide, but later questioned whether this was true after Lin began battering her. When Lin later ordered Rin to assassinate Lin's own son Helaran, Malise vehemently protested. Lin became enraged and beat her, breaking her arm and imprisoning her in her room. Shallan tried to arrange for Balat and Malise to escape the house, but shortly before the planned escape, Malise revealed the plan and Lin killed her with blows to the head. Balat confronted Lin, but Lin severely injured him and attempted to attack Eylita. However, Malise's death prompted Shallan to give Lin wine poisoned with blackbane, which incapacitated him. Shallan was forced to kill Lin and the family discovered the broken Davar soulcaster, setting events into motion that resulted in Shallan seeking an apprenticeship with Jasnah Kholin.
== Relationships ==
=== Lin Davar ===
Malise is sent to marry Lin by her father in an arranged marriage, and they are married less than a month after meeting each other. Approximately six months after her marriage to Lin, Wikim notes that Malise cries every other night. Lin beats Malise, scaring off one of Shallan's tutors named Hasheh. Lin's behavior causes multiple tutors to quit, and Malise is stuck looking for replacements. As things devolve in the Davar household, Malise regrets the marriage. She tells Shallan that there is a "beast" inside Lin and that he cannot let things go. She believes he will ultimately kill the entire family.
=== Shallan Davar ===
Malise oversees Shallan's studies despite her own lack of education. Since the Davars cannot retain tutors, Malise wants to teach Shallan, but she is not equipped to do so; her family ignored education like many rural Veden houses. She is able to read women's script but has little knowledge about history or other subjects. Like Shallan's brothers, Malise harbors some resentment that Shallan is the only one in the family who avoids Lin's wrath. Shallan feels like she barely knows her stepmother despite years of living together, but does feel protective of her.

Malli

Malli is a worldhopper and a scribe on Roshar. She is married to a Scadrian worldhopper named Felt.
==Attributes and Abilities==
She is able to use a spanreed and write in women's script. Dalinar and Adolin both trust her, as she is assigned to be the primary scribe on at least two important journeys, including one that required significant discretion.
==History==
In approximately , Malli and Felt accompanied Dalinar Kholin on his expedition to the Valley to visit the Nightwatcher. She was part of a small group that traveled from their ship to the Valley, serving as its scribe. She was present in Dalinar's stormwagon when he exited the Valley; she sent a message via spanreed to the Alethi ship that he had returned. Dalinar also asked Malli to tell the sailors to find him a copy of The Way of Kings in the port, so he could hear it read to him again after having Evi erased from his memory.
Malli and Felt moved to Urithiru at some point after the Battle of Narak. In , they were selected as members of the diplomatic mission to Lasting Integrity in Shadesmar. Malli, who was working in the quartermaster's office, again served as the mission's scribe. She traveled with the team through Shadesmar, sometimes looking after Mayalaran on Adolin's behalf. She was one of the few members of the team that remained in camp outside of Lasting Integrity during Adolin's trial.
After Dalinar and Mraize's deaths, Felt remarked that he and Malli would have to find someone else to serve, if their age didn't get the better of them.

Mallory

Mallory is, likely, a fictitious character created by Tress on Lumar.
Tress mentioned Mallory alongside Kaplan and Marple when she was lying to Crow about having family on the Oot's Dream because she wanted to run away from the Crow's Song. She wanted Crow to believe that she had cause to tell people that the crew of the Crow's Song had killed all the people on the Oot's Dream and thus were deadrunners. Crow gave her the opportunity to do so at Shimmerbay, but Tress ultimately opted to stay.

Malmahan

Malmahan the Uncalled is a Dark One on Mirandus.
== Appearance and Personality ==
=== Appearance ===
Malmahan has short brown hair generally parted to the side, with a very pronounced eyebrow ridge that keeps his blue eyes in darkness. He has a chiseled face and hollow cheeks beneath distinct cheek bones.
== History ==
=== On Mirandus ===
Malmahan rose as Dark One in Mirandus. No Destined One appeared to challenge his power and he nearly destroyed the Kingdoms of Light and Mirandus. Illarion, the Destined One from the previous cycle, went to fight Malmahan because Illarion refused to wait for a Destined One to match Malmahan. Illarion ended up victorious, but in reality, Illarion somehow sent Malmahan to Earth.
=== On Earth ===
Malmahan assumed the name of Mr. Caligo in his time on Earth. He killed at least one individual each year for the Peragator, a device which would allow him to return to Mirandus. He killed twenty-eight individuals in total, of which the police knew of fifteen. He was eventually arrested after the work of a detective and a true crime podcast. He hired the law firm of Mitchell and Young for his criminal defense. One lawyer at the firm, Lin Yang-Tanasin, visited Malmahan in jail, who was kept in solitary confinement. The guards warned Lin that Malmahan was a dangerous criminal and that she could only communicate with him nonverbally, which she rejected. She was still refused sharp objects and instructed her to sit throughout the visit. The guards brought Malmahan out, wearing a muzzle. Malmahan explained to Lin that a man said something extremely racist, so Malmahan bit his tongue out. Malmahan wished to plead guilty for his murders, and wanted to help the police find his other victims which they had never found. Malmahan wanted the state to execute him as quickly as possible.
At his trial, the court denied his request for the death penalty. Malmahan then used his abilities as Dark One and used the hatred all of the members of the court to possess them. Only Lin remained unpossessed. Malmahan grabbed a gun and forced Lin to shoot him dead. He explained that the Peragator required one last death: his own. However, he couldn't kill himself to activate it. He threatened to murder every single person Lin ever loved, and she shot him. This transitioned both Malmahan and Lin into Mirandus. It also caused Paul Tanasin, the current Dark One, to travel back from Mirandus to the courthouse where Malmahan's trial took place.
== Trivia ==
* During the epilogue, Malmahan's speech bubbles switch from the standard black text on white background, to white text on black background.

Malmahan's Folly

Malmahan's Folly is a tower in the Blackened Lands on Mirandus. It is located near the Backflow and the Warfields of Karkun. 
It is clearly related to Malmahan the Uncalled somehow. The tower was burned seven times, and its structure still remains. There is a legend that Malmahan's soul still is alive at the tower.
When Paul Tanasin first arrived on Mirandus, he and Feotora traveled near Malmahan's Folly.
== Notes ==
Malop

Malop is a member of Bridge Four on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He has thick, black hair and a bushy beard. His hands are both tattooed with a glyphward. He isn't considered very smart, and he has limited knowledge of the world beyond Alethkar.
==History==
During Kaladin's first run leading Bridge Four, Malop was one of the last men to get into position.
He was killed by the Parshendi during the Battle of the Tower. He suffered a severe axe wound to the arm and subsequently lost too much blood. Kaladin regretted being unable to save Malop, Jaks, and Narm during the battle.
Malop was one of the many people that Kaladin remembered being unable to protect while he was trying to swear the Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners.
== Notes ==
Maltese

Maltese is the capital city of Nightingale124 and is also used as the name for the State itself. It is a Communal State and is used as a meeting place for Liveborn.
== Setting ==
The entire State is set in perpetual night and it often raining, though the natural weather is never more intense than a drizzle. The exception to this is when someone hacks the programming and makes use of something that does not belong in the State, at which point the weather increases in intensity. The State is described as being based on western cultures of early twentieth century Earth.
== Technology ==
Much of the technology is from the early twentieth century. Maltese has trains, cars, handguns, and skyscrapers. The State does allow some technology from other eras, with Liveborn capable of keeping any of their personal Boosts, as well as wrist phones.
== Politics ==
Maltese, being a Communal State, has no native Liveborn. As such, Liveborn can compete with one another for the local Machineborns' favor, elections being held once every two years. The Liveborn have turned this into somewhat of a game, taking advantage of the non-lethal nature of the handguns as well so that anytime a Liveborn is hit by one of the pellets that the handguns fire, the Machineborn in Maltese cannot see them for two weeks. This "penalty" is detrimental when campaigning for Machineborn favor. Those Liveborn that visit but don't participate are considered wildcards.

Malwish Consortium

The Malwish Consortium is a nation state on Scadrial located upon the Southern Continent. It is a confederation of five South Scadrian nations under the Malwish banner.
== History ==
Originally, the Malwish Consortium was five separate nations; they later banded together upon the discovery of the Elendel Basin and their taking of the Bands of Mourning. As part of this merging, the other four nations adopted the banner of the Malwish nation.
The tensions between the Malwish and Elendel Basin grew stronger during the six years of the unification of the South because Wax gave the Bands of Mourning to the kandra, and the Malwish believed that they were the rightful owners of the Bands. 
Wax worried that news of the Consortium forming would make Elendel politicians believe that the Elendel Supremacy Bill was needed more than ever.
The Malwish sent Admiral Daal as an ambassador to Elendel. When the select council received Wax's message about the bomb the Set sent to Elendel, they decided to use the Bands of Mourning to push it away. Admiral Daal said that the Bands would have to be surrendered, since this would break their treaty. When Adawathwyn tried to use the Bands and discovered that they were drained, Daal said that this still met his terms for exchange and took them. After that, he fled Elendel.
Six months after the detonation of the Set's bomb, the tensions between the Malwish and Elendel were growing even stronger because the Basin felt that the Bands were taken unjustly and the Malwish claimed that the Basin had shown aggression by even considering using them. There was talk of closing borders to Northerners. 
Two years after the detonation, the Basin sent Marasi Colms as an ambassador to the Malwish Consortium.
== Economy ==
At first, the Malwish consortium and the Elendel Basin establish tenuous trade relations. While the Malwish consortium does appear to have trade-focused airships, most trade with the North still goes by regular ships. However, following the Bands of Mourning being drained, the consortium bans most forms of trade with the North, especially that of harmonium, as well as all tourism.
== Notable Malwish ==
* Allik Neverfar - a member of the crew of the airship Brunstell. 
* Jordis - captain of the airship Brunstell. 
* Daal - the ambassador of the Malwish Consortium to Elendel.
