Luthadel Garrison

The Luthadel Garrison was a standing force of twenty thousand well-armed, well-trained troops. Its primary duty is to maintain order in Luthadel.
== Organization ==
While stopping rebels is the sort of thing the Garrison was created to do, they were also responsible for guarding Luthadel's wall and gates. However, no one ever attacked Luthadel during the Final Empire.
Most soldiers in the Garrison are skaa who sold out to the Lord Ruler in exchange for a better life. They mostly recruited men outside mainstream society, and occasionally hired part-time soldiers when there were riots somewhere. Garrisoners are mercenaries, which means that they would attack friends and even relatives when ordered to. Their job requires that they keep up an intimidating face, which makes them not very well liked.
While doing patrols, they kicked at beggars to make sure they were truly invalid, harassed wandering workers when they weren't working, and made a general nuisance of themselves.
The Garrison did nighttime patrols.
Garrisoners wore full armor, with breastplate, cap and black cloak. Captains like Sertes bore a few extra stripes of color and gold-colored bits of metal on their shoulder.
Their fortifications are close to the Steel Gate. The complex had a defensive appearance and was guarded by hostile looking soldiers at the gates. Large spikes were mounted on the wall that ran around it, and the buildings within were bulky and fortified. During skaa riots in a city, malcontents generally hit the local garrison pretty hard, hence the fortifications.
== History ==
When Yeden hired Kelsier's crew to assist the skaa rebellion in taking over Luthadel, the Luthadel Garrison was one of their major impediments, as they couldn't take the city while the Garrison was active.
Ham was a frequent visitor and often sparred with men of the Garrison. He once brought Vin along with him to show her some tricks in pewter Allomancy. However, they were occupied at that time and didn't have time for sparring.
When Yeden ordered the skaa rebels in the Arguois caverns to attack the Holstep Garrison, the Luthadel Garrison and the Valtroux Garrison were sent to reinforce them. By the time the Luthadel Garrison arrived there, the Valtroux Garrison had already taken care of most skaa rebels, so the Luthadel Garrison relieved the Valtroux Garrison and stayed there to search for remaining rebels, but they dismissed the part-time soldiers like Ham.
During this time, only ten percent of the Garrison stayed behind to guard Luthadel, which wasn't enough to prevent the Collapse from happening.
In the New Empire, the Luthadel Garrison served Elend.
== Known members ==
* Captain Sertes
* Bevidon
* Ham (part-time soldier, actually spying for the skaa rebellion)
* Goradel (Kredik Shaw palace guard)

Lux (book)

Lux: A Texas Reckoners Novel is a novel set in the universe of The Reckoners. It was developed under Brandon's Mainframe production company, which is focused on audio originals. It was released as an Audible original on July 22, 2021. A print version is planned at some point in the future.
== Synopsis ==
==Summary==
Jax, a young Texas Reckoner, engages in a confrontation against the Epic Wingflare. The story then goes back several years to Jax's backstory, in which the Epic Lovestruck kills his beloved older brother. Jax is then recruited by Prof, who introduces him to the Reckoners and takes him to the Reckoners training facility. Jax is personally trained to be a Reckoner by Zeff, the head trainer there. After an operation goes awry, leaving Zeff dead, Jax and the remaining Texas Reckoners decide to infiltrate the flying city of Lux, ruled by the High Epic Lifeforce. 
They climb up into the city, disguising their weapons and gear using a motivator. Lux is kept in the air by an Epic called Wingflare, and the Reckoners sneak a motivator into the power grid so they can wrest control of the city from her. They try to assssinate Lifeforce, but they are betrayed by Briggen, a member of their team. They neutralize the other Epics in Lux. They confront Lifeforce, who has given himself Wingflare's powers through scientific experimentation. Jax kills Lifeforce after figuring out his weakness. As he dies, Lifeforce injects a serum into Paige, one of the Reckoners. As Lifeforce dies, Lux slowly drifts into the sea. Paige awakes weeks later, with a mean attitude and dark thoughts. She hears a voice in her head, telling her that it is the demon that had lived inside Lifeforce. It calls itself Deathrise.
==Development==
In 2019, Steven Michael Bohls mentioned that he was working with Brandon on an expansion to the Reckoners universe, and had been given quite a bit of autonomy on the project. It was conceived as both a spinoff and a sequel of the original trilogy, following a different team of Reckoners. Steven anticipated writing three novellas for the audio original format that would then be consolidated as a sequel in print. 
Brandon mentioned a planned Reckoners project for Mainframe in 2020 and again referred to the project as a trio of novellas. In late 2020 and early 2021, Steven posted a few updates about the development process on social media; the working title was Deathrise. During the revision process, the team decided that the pacing of the three novellas worked better as a single novel. The novel is intended to stand alone; it has some time overlap with the previous Reckoners books, but reading them is not a prerequisite.

Lux (city)

Lux, formerly Sugar Land, Texas, is a flying city ruled by the High Epic Lifeforce. An Epic named Wingflare keeps the city in the air, and an Epic named Cloudbreaker controls the weather in Lux, keeping it warm and livable despite the high altitude. A fourth Epic, Languish, has the power to negate other Epics abilities, effectively keeping the city safe from other Epics. Lux's last known location is over Sweetwater, Texas.
Lux flies over Texas, looting and pillaging towns. It has a well founded reputation as a floating paradise, and every few months it drops ladders over a city to allow new residents to climb into the city. Lux is filled with neighborhoods and parks, and when the Reckoners first climb into it there is a carnival going on. New Lux residents are assigned their own house upon entering the city. There are no cars, and many people use bicycles to get around. People entering Lux are not allowed to have any weapons, or anything that could be used as a weapon. This includes guns, knives, and even belts.
A large portion of the city's power is provided by windmills.
== Landmarks ==
=== Palace ===
==== Throne Room ====
Lifeforce's throne room is thoroughly decorated with gold, including the chandelier, decorations, and banisters. The floor is marble inlaid with gold, and the room is decorated with golden pillars and a grand golden staircase. Lifeforce's golden throne is elevated so that people have to look up to meet his eyes.
==== Lab ====
Lifeforce and Parik have a lab underneath the palace where they store information on Epics, as well as their DNA samples. The room is filled with electronically activated steel cupboards, each one labeled with an Epic's name. Another group of cupboards holds confiscated items. Each Epic drawer contains a file on that Epic, blood samples, and often pieces of that Epic, such as fingers or hair.
==== Chrysalis Hollows ====
The Chrysalis Hollows is the special sectioned off area of the lab where Lifeforce preforms his most important experiment. It is separated from the rest of the lab by a large red door, on which is written the words “rise anew”. The door is locked with both a keypad and a handprint scanner, only permitting Lifeforce and Parik to open it. Inside, numerous Chrysalis chambers line the walls, each one shrouded by a pane of frosted glass, which turn clear upon Lifeforce's touch.
=== Raven Tunnels ===
The Ravens operate out of a system of tunnels underneath the city, near the power grid. They get their assignments from the Raven command center there. The tunnels also go all the way to the bottom of the city, providing a series of holes in the bottom. During raids, Wingflare flies the Ravens out of these openings to attack.
== Notes ==
Lyndip

Lyndip is Allomancer Jak's spirit guide on Scadrial. Jak claims that Lyndip appears to him during moments of great danger or difficulty. She has the appearance of a talking crow, but Jak suspects that she is one of the Faceless Immortals. She purports to follow and speak for the Survivor, and Jak regards her as sent by him.
Handerwym, Jak's Terrisman steward, has never seen Lyndip and cannot confirm her existence. He suspects that at least one instance of Lyndip's appearances was a hallucination. He has also pointed out that the Faceless Immortals are a feature of Pathism, not Survivorism, but Jak does not seem to care.
==Trivia==
*Brandon has not confirmed whether Lyndip is a kandra, an Aviar, or whether she even actually exists.
== Notes ==
Lyon

Commander Lyon is the leader of the Tower Guard in Urithiru on Roshar. He is a Knight Radiant of an unknown order.
He formed a Nahel bond with an unknown spren a month before the singer invasion of Urithiru. Like the other Knights Radiant, he fell unconscious when Raboniel partially corrupted the tower's defenses.
== Trivia ==
* Lyon was named after Howard Lyon, who created multiple pieces of art for both The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn series.
==Notes==
Mab

Mab is a cook from Idris on Nalthis.
She was born in Idris, but left to live in Hallandren during her teenage years, eventually becoming a reputable courtesan in T'Telir. She gave her Breath to a customer with whom she had fallen in love, and he left her afterwards. When she was a Drab, she began to have more trouble finding work, being eventually forced to run a poor whorehouse, while using old contacts to acquire clients. Once she had earned enough money, she bought another Breath and left to go back to Idris, becoming a cook in the kitchens.
She is Siri's friend and maternal figure. She takes a traditional view on religion, gently chiding Siri for being excessively ostentatious in her spontaneity. According to Siri, she has a tendency to fret, and a wisdom to her which goes beyond her cooking abilities.
== Trivia ==
* Brandon originally intended her to accompany Siri to T'Telir but it undermined Siri's loneliness. 
== Notes ==
Maben

Maben is a chambermaid on King Taravangian's staff. 
==Appearance and Personality==
Maben is short and particularly trustworthy. She is aware of Taravangian's boon and curse from the Nightwatcher and is sympathetic to his condition and his age. She tries to help him stay healthy in any way possible, bringing him nutritious meals and checking for signs of illness. On days when Taravangian is intelligent but lacks compassion, Maben does not take his insults and dismissals personally.
==Duties==
Taravangian employs a number of maids, but Maben directly attends to him and his living quarters and is also referred to as his "room servant". Maben cleans Taravangian's bedroom and brings him food and drinks. She also performs any other miscellaneous tasks that he spontaneously assigns to her. Due to the nature of her duties, she is commonly present during meetings of high-ranking members of the Diagram, and they do not hold their tongues around her. She is presumably Taravangian's most trusted house servant, and commands at least a modicum of respect, as she is bold enough to contradict Mrall.
==History==
Maben accompanied Taravangian on a trip to the ruined city of Vedenar at the end of the Veden civil war. She attempted to serve Taravangian breakfast on his ship, but was stopped by Mrall, who wanted to immediately administer the king's daily intelligence test. She protested, but was overruled by the king, and set out the meal after the testing was complete. 
She was present in Urithiru with Taravangian and was charged with cleaning his quarters there. During one of Taravangian's highly intelligent days, he somewhat manically forced Maben to stop cleaning and go measure a potential gardening space outside of his balcony. Maben later tried to serve Taravangian food, but he was poring over the Diagram and became annoyed by her interruption, calling her an idiot. Maben disregarded his anger, leading Taravangian to ask Mrall if executing her was an option, which Mrall denied. 
She continued to attend to Taravangian in Urithiru. Other members of the Diagram such as Adrotagia, Malata, and Dukar usually ignored her presence at their meetings.
At the last meeting before the Diagram was disbanded, Maben gave Taravangian a gift containing some of his favorite jams from Shinovar. He acknowledged the work that she had done for him, saying that the Diagram could not have succeeded without people like Maben.
== Notes ==
Machineborn

The Machineborn are the native sentient life in the States of the Wode. They are artificial intelligence "NPCs" used to fill out the population of each Liveborn's state. They cannot leave their home state.
All Machineborn have a Concept, the central premise that describes their character, which can be hacked by both the Wode and Liveborn. Examples of Concepts include chancellor Besk's cleverness, Shale's insistence on wearing armor, and Chief Letmere's pragmatism.
== Notes ==
Macil

Macil is a chromium Misting (aka a Leecher) and one of the women captured by the Set on Scadrial.
== History ==
Macil was kidnapped by the Vanishers and delivered to the Set to be a part of the Community. The Set told her that she had been chosen by random lottery to be saved from a catastrophic ashmount eruption.
After Armal Rioted Gave Entrone's shame. Macil Leeched his Allomantic reserves so that Armal may tie him up. Marasi and the Allomancers of Wayfarer drained the perpendicularity just before Autonomy's forces could enter Scadrial through it. After resting, Marasi led Macil and the other Allomancers out of the caverns and into Bilming.
== Notes ==
Macob

Macob is the head of a caravan of merchants on Roshar.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is an older man with blue eyes and a beard. He wears a felt cap. Shallan is unable to place his accent, but believes that he is neither Alethi nor Thaylen. He seems to have a genial disposition even in grim situations. He is a high-end merchant and has a distaste for slavers.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Macob is a trademaster, although it is unclear if this refers to the title as used in the Thaylen tradition. Although he tries to negotiate with Shallan, he capitulates easily when she makes demands of him. He is particularly respectful towards her after learning that she has a Shardblade, and he assures her that he can be discreet. He is able to competently lead a large caravan that includes families with small children.
Macob employs Tyn, an associate of the Ghostbloods, as a scout and guard captain. However, she had recently conned her way into his caravan by exaggerating her experience, and there is no indication that Macob knew of her other activities.
==History==
During their journey to the Shattered Plains in , Shallan, Tvlakv, and his mercenaries spotted smoke coming from Macob's caravan after it was attacked by bandits. These bandits attacked the caravan with firebrands, setting some of the wagons on fire and then pulling back (allowing the caravaneers to fatigue themselves putting out the fires) before attacking again.
Tyn approached Shallan's caravan and informed her about the danger of the bandits. This led Shallan to convince Vathah and his band of deserters to fight on her behalf. They joined together with Macob's caravan and were able to defeat the bandits, although some lives were lost in the process.
Macob subsequently worked out a deal with Shallan wherein they would travel to the Shattered Plains together while under the protection of "her" men; in exchange, he would provide her with supplies throughout the journey. The supplies included a chull and fine lighteyed food and clothing. Macob learned that Shallan had a Shardblade after she used it to kill Tyn in self-defense, and he parted ways with her after reaching the warcamps.
== Notes ==
Madam Penfor

Madam Penfor is the matron of Pashadon Hall, a female dormitory of Elendel University on Scadrial.
==Appearance and Personality==
Wayne—who is antagonistic to Madame Penfor—describes her as unattractive and built like an ox, with hair that curls like horns. She wears a small hat as part of her efforts to keep up with the current fashions in Elendel. She likes to consider herself part of Elendel upper society, and is likely of noble descent. She has a stern demeanor and is not easily intimidated, leading Wayne to refer to her as the "Tyrant of Pashadon".
==History==
Wayne had to meet with Madam Penfor every month when he visited the university to bring Allriandre her stipend. She monitored the entrance to the hall and was familiar with Wayne, whom she considered a scoundrel and miscreant. She had previously told him not to return to the dormitory because he distressed Allriandre, but he always persisted. On one occasion, she seemed prepared to physically fight him if necessary; he instead bribed his way past her using tickets to Lady ZoBell's party that he had stolen from Wax and Steris. After accepting the bribe, Madam Penfor allowed Wayne into the visiting room and warned Allriandre that he was drunk, although he immediately sobered up using feruchemical gold.

Mai

Mai is a seon bonded with Riika. His name, which comes from the Aon Mai, means "honor."
Mai always read Riika a story at bedtime, or she could not sleep. He was taken to Teod with Sarene during the Invasion of Arelon, from where he communicated with Ashe and told him that Sarene was surrounded by Dakhor monks at the docks.
== Notes ==
MaiPon

MaiPon is a sub-state of the Rose Empire on the planet of Sel. It was absorbed into the Rose Empire long prior to the events of The Emperor's Soul.
MaiPon is the homeland of Forgery. Because Investiture on Sel is concentrated in the Cognitive Realm, and thus dependent on geographic location, the power of a Forgery diminishes the further a forgery is from MaiPon, similar to how the Elantrian Aons function. All Forgeries include a lithograph resembling MaiPon on the reverse side of the stamp.
The MaiPon are descended from the same people group as the JinDo; they diverged long ago. They are commonly mistaken by other cultures as being identical. The MaiPon use chopsticks, known as MaiPon sticks, as eating utensils. The sticks were later adopted in JinDo culture.
== Physical Traits ==
The MaiPon are short of stature, have dark brown skin and fine features.
== Religion ==
The early MaiPons worshiped meteors, which they call the souls of broken gods. These meteors would be carved to bring out the shape of the gods. It is believed that the history of carving was responsible for the invention and advancement of Forgery. Wan ShaiLu is from MaiPon, and is a follower of the God Beyond. It is unclear if the religion is common in MaiPon or unique to Shai.

MaiPon sticks

MaiPon sticks are an eating utensil used in JinDo. Based on the name, they likely originated in MaiPon. They come in pairs, with one stick having a sharp pointed tip and the other having a flat shoveled end.
Sarene had never used MaiPon sticks before arriving in Arelon, and had trouble eating with them when Kiin made HaiKo for her first meal in Arelon. Kaise found this to be unbecoming of a princess.
Something similar to MaiPon sticks are used in both Torio and Nagadan on Komashi; when telling the story of Yumi and Painter, Hoid refers to them as MaiPon sticks for the convenience of his audience.
== Notes ==
Maib

Maib is a Rosharan Purelaker who lives in the village Fu Abra. She is quite fond of a rare fish, kolgril, as she believes it will help provide relief for the arthritis in her fingers. 
She is a talented cook who regularly provides food to Ishikk, hoping to put him in her debt so he feels obliged to marry her. The pair will trade items back and forth in order to try and level the debt that they each owe to the other. Ishikk seems to hold some feelings towards Maib and considers settling down with her someday, however, is not yet ready to give up his life as a roaming fisherman. 
Her house is the closest the village has to an inn. It can be found in the middle of the village and provides food and, presumably, accommodation to foreigners. Like many Purelaker buildings, some, if not all, of the floor is covered in several inches of water. Maib has a table in her inn that is raised slightly higher and has accompanying footstools to accommodate for outsiders who do not wish to keep their feet in the water. 
Her home was used as a meeting place between Ishikk and several members of the Seventeenth Shard, who had tasked the fisherman with trying to find Hoid.
== Notes ==
Mailey

Mailey is a seven year old girl in Urteau who got taken by the Citizen. She got rescued from a burning mansion by Spook.
== History ==
When the Citizen took control in Urteau, Mailey's brother, Franson, left her with a woman so he could join the underground. This woman, however, sold Mailey to the Citizen because of her noble blood from her father's side.
At Franson's request, Spook rescued her from the Citizen's executions in which he imprisoned ten people with noble parentage in a burning building. Spook fought with and defeated the guards at a secret exit, but the last one standing grabbed Mailey and held a knife to her neck. When Spook told one of the escaping prisoners to lock the secret exit from the outside, the guard let go of Mailey, upon which Spook took the young girl in his arms and jumped out of the burning building in front of the watching crowd, and fled to get Mailey to safety.
== Notes ==
Maindew

Maindew is a corporal of the Elendel constabulary in Claude Aradel's precinct.
Maindew always made a point of saluting his superior officer. However, Aradel seemed to view his constant saluting as sycophantic and instructed him not to bother saluting while indoors, since they were constantly crossing paths. Nevertheless, Maindew saluted Aradel while he met with Marasi in his office. Aradel threw some wadded-up broadsheets in his face in order to discourage him, and Maindew apologized.
== Notes ==
Mainframe

Mainframe LLC is an entertainment and production company founded by Brandon Sanderson and Max Epstein.
Mainframe is focused on the production of spoken word entertainment, including audio original novellas, novels, and dramas. Recorded Books was a launch partner of the company's. Most of Mainframe's works will also be printed in a prose format.
Brandon and Max founded the company after realizing how difficult it can be to get projects completed in the film/television space, leaving some of Brandon's ideas unused. He partnered with Max, who has experience in Hollywood, to create their own company where they could produce original works and also extend the universe of some of Brandon's existing series. Brandon's work in this area may lead to a full-fledged film production company in the future.
==Projects==
All of Mainframe's projects to date have had Brandon's involvement, but he has collaborated with several other authors.
* The Original, coauthored with Mary Robinette Kowal
* Lux, a Reckoners audio original coauthored with Steven Michael Bohls
* Sunreach, ReDawn, and Evershore, audio versions of the Cytoverse novellas coauthored with Janci Patterson
* Stephen Leeds: Death & Faxes, a serial podcast-like extension of the Legion universe with a writer's room and Max Epstein as "showrunner"
* Dark One: Forgotten, an audio drama coauthored with Dan Wells
