Defiant Defense Force

The Defiant Defense Force, or DDF, is a military force responsible for the protection of the Defiant League, the human settlers on Detritus.
They normally maintain twelve flights, having four on duty with one or two on patrol in the air, four on call, and four in deep reserve at any given moment.
Their leader, Admiral Judy Ivans (callsign Ironsides) also acts as leader of all of humanity.
== Ship Models Used ==
The DDF uses a variety of starfighters, each built for a specific purpose. While some ships, such as the Poco are traditionally used in dogfights against Krell, other ships like the Val are used for reconnaissance. The most common destructor type used in DDF ships is the 138 Stewart destructor and generally cap out at speeds of Mag-10.
== Flights ==
A Flight at the Defiant Defense Force usually consists of 8-10 pilots who have graduated from the flight school. At any given time, 1/3 of all starfighters and pilots are down in the deeper caverns in case Alta Base is bombed, so the DDF can rebuild. Each flight has a flightleader, who is responsible for coordinating the flight and relaying messages from Flight Command. Each flight ideally has an even number of pilots, so that each pilot can have a wingmate.

Defiant League

The Defiant League is the collection of cavern city-states which make up the human population of Detritus, the survivors of the Defiant fleet. They named themselves Defiants after the flagship of their old fleet. Not all humans that live on Detritus are part of the Defiant League, with some of the old clans continuing to rove the planet as nomads.
The Defiant League consists of a number of caverns including Igneous Cavern, Vici Cavern, Bountiful Cavern, and the Deep caverns. The cave network is known as the United Defiant Caverns.
Workers wear jumpsuits, with different colors denoting their professions.
Prior to the Battle of Alta, the humans lived in small clans that populated different parts of the planet as larger groups could be detected by the Krell. Each clan was made up of individuals that could trace their lineage back to a specific ship or crew from the Defiant's fleet. After finding Igneous, some of these clans began to create starfighters and Alta Base was constructed. The defeat of the Krell at the Battle of Alta allowed for the many groups of humans on Detritus to join together forming the Defiant League.

Delbahad

Delbahad is a holiday in the Rose Empire.
By the reign of Emperor Ashravan, the celebration of Delbahad had stopped. While Shai was Forging a new soul for Ashravan, the Heritage Faction reinstituted the celebration of Delbahad hoping to sway public opinion in their favor. Shai thought this was foolish; if she failed to Forge a soul for Ashravan, the arbiters of the factions would select the new emperor, not the people.

Delius's son

Delius's son is the son of the Lord Admiral, Delius, and serves as his steward.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He has long blond hair and wears a light blue coat. He is quiet and doesn't speak very much.
== History ==
He showed Kenton, Aarik, and Ais in to see Delius. After they left he explained the politics of the kelzin to Delius and said that many of them are Kerztian, the ones who are not are usually Ker'reen, and that in general the kelzin hate the sand masters.
During his time as Lord Admiral, Delius had his son buy up a large fleet of ships in his own name, since he was not allowed to own property. He had his son carry around with him documents, that when signed, would transfer ownership of the fleet from his son to himself.
He traveled with Delius, Kenton, Khriss, and the rest of their group to Lraezare to visit the Shipowners' Circle. When Lokkall and the Shipowners' Circle voted Delius out of his position he gave Delius the documents, which Delius then signed, transferring ownership of his fleet of ships, twelve of which were in Lraezare at that time, to Delius. Delius then told his son to order their fleet to blockade the port of Kezare for the next month and he said that he will.
== Trivia ==
* In the prose he was named Delin.

Delta Squadron

Delta Squadron is an elite special ops squad led by Hershel Black. They have preformed many missions together, including demolition jobs, extractions, and assassinations. They are led by Hershel Black.
== History ==
At one point, Delta Squadron was given a mission in Siberia. They were tasked with stealthily approaching a Russian satellite and hacking it, and they were dropped off a long distance away from the target. On their second night, Calamity, the bright red star in the sky, began glowing brighter than normal and pulsing. Paul Jackson, a young member of Delta Squadron, collapsed and began spasming and muttering to himself. He fell into a coma, leaving the others unsure of what to do. Later that night Jackson awoke, and when Hershel asked him questions, he refused to answer. Jackson said he didn't take orders from Hershel or anyone else, claiming that he was "free". Hershel gave the order to attack the facility in the morning. 
They made their attack on the satellite the next morning, but things went wrong and the guards were alerted. Jackson revealed his new Epic powers, blasting the guards with yellow energy blasts. He started shooting energy blasts at the satelitte, and vaporized O'Brien's arm in the process. The members of Delta Squadron, horrified and afraid, threatened Jackson and leveled their guns at him. When they opened fire on him, the bullets did no damage and only left Jackson enraged. Jackson killed almost all of Delta Squadron with energy blasts. Only Hershel survived, since he was the only one not to fire on Jackson. Jackson flew off, blowing up the station as he went.

Deluse Couvre

Deluse Couvre was an author during the Final Empire on Scadrial.
He wrote numerous books, including Book of the False Dawn--a book that any Keeper could quote, as it damned the Lord Ruler's leadership blunders over the centuries.
Deluse went on to write even more damning books about the Final Empire, and though he never blasphemed against Allomancy, the Steel Ministry made an exception and executed him anyway.

Dem

Dem is a messenger boy in Meridas Amaram's army on Roshar.
Dem is a small boy of around eleven or twelve. He was presumably drafted into Meridas Amaram's army, and served as a messenger boy in Sheler's company. Due to low recruitment, he was placed in a "deep reserve" squad along with Tien and other messenger boys. He and the rest of the boys were not meant to see the battlefield, and received almost no combat training.
During a battle with Hallaw, Sheler's company suffered heavy losses but were ordered not to retreat. Dem and another messenger boy were sent to Varth's squad for support. They were put in outdated leather armor, and could barely hold a spear; Dem's companion suggested that they run away. Varth quickly realized that they would be useless on the battlefield, and decided to place them in the front of his formation as a distraction. Tien saw the two boys and volunteered to help so that they would not be alone.
As the enemy charged, the squad pulled back, leaving Dem, Tien, and their companion exposed. The boys were immediately slaughtered, but Varth's strategy worked, as the disruption to the enemy's momentum allowed for a counterattack. Amaram and his cavalry then swept in and wiped out the bunched-up enemies. Varth realized that the boys and many other men had effectively been sacrificed in order to make Amaram look good.

Den

Den is a member of the underworld in Urithiru on Roshar.
He was part of a group of old acquaintances who approached Ishnah asking for money once she began drawing a stipend as a Lightweaver, supposedly to help get them out of the criminal life. Instead, they used her funds to buy gambling dens, hire goons, and set up a protection racket. Den threatened an unknown man in the course of their schemes.

Dendrolith

A dendrolith is a type of tree on Roshar.
==Characteristics==
Dendroliths have gnarled, sturdy, stone bark.
==History==
After Shallan Davar began trying to infiltrate the Ghostbloods, one of the tasks assigned to her by Mraize was to retrieve something from a hole in an unusual tree next to a pathway in Sebarial's warcamp. Shallan sketched the tree, but she was unsure of the species. She thought it might have been a variety of dendrolith based on its bark, but it had long, thin fronds that were more similar to those of a dalewillow. She also mentioned that the fronds could retract, like other plants on Roshar such as frillbloom. Iyatil soon informed Shallan that the package in the tree contained additional instructions about her mission.
== Notes ==
Deniers of Masks

The Deniers of Masks are a group of people from southern Scadrial. They are likely the Maskless mentioned on the Scadrial map.
They are implied to avoid wearing the masks commonly worn by the people who live in the South. The Deniers are dangerous for some unknown reason, and Allik Neverfar believes that the Bands of Mourning could be used to fight them. This term does not refer to the inhabitants of the Elendel Basin and the surrounding areas, as the Southern Scadrians simply refer to them as barbarians.

Denise Carlson

Denise Carlson was a laboratory assistant for the Phone Company who worked in their research facility on Evensong.
==Appearance and Personality==
She is thin and has short, dark, curly hair. Jason Write describes her look as extremely innocent and "passably attractive". She is straightforward and calculating.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Although she held a relatively low-level position in the Phone Company's facility, Denise was presumably intelligent and had some knowledge of the PC's research and operations.
She had shown some cytonic ability and was in the middle of her training. She had met Jason Write on several occasions.
==History==
===Disappearance===
While living and working on the Phone Company's distant Outer Platform known as Evensong, Denise disappeared under unknown circumstances. The Phone Company's Central Operations on Earth downplayed the incident; the United Intelligence Bureau assumed it was a simple mugging. However, the PC was actually quite concerned about the disappearance and sent Jason Write to investigate. Evensong was several months away from Earth, and by the time Jason arrived, Denise had been found. However, she seemed to have suffered amnesia as well as the loss of her motor skills and had been admitted to a mental hospital.
===Death and Replacement===
Jason, who had met Denise several times in the past, immediately noticed several strange things about her. She did not exhibit the usual symptoms of someone with amnesia, and could not remember anything at all. Her speaking ability returned very rapidly, but her physical issues defied explanation. Jason was confused by Denise's unfamiliarity with simple human concepts like anger and the taste of salt. After further investigation, he realized that she had an affinity for bright red lights and used unusual hand gestures, both characteristics of a cytonically advanced alien race known as the Varvax.
Jason connected Denise's disappearance to the supposed murder of a Varvax ambassador named Vahnn and realized that their minds had been switched using cytonics. Vahnn was a Varvax dissident and had taken over Denise's body hoping to learn more about human weapons of war, which were far superior to those of other alien races. Vahnn (in Denise's body) was taken to PC headquarters on Earth. Denise's consciousness was presumably destroyed when Vahnn's original body was incinerated after the swap.

Dennison Crestmar

Dennison Crestmar is a High Duke in the High Empire.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Dennison is moderately tall and has sleek black hair. His facial appearance is completely identical to that of Varion's, who he was cloned from. However, the exact appearance of either Dennison or Varion is unknown. He is a generally pessimistic person who engages in a fair amount of self deprecation. He constantly compares himself to his brother and thinks himself a failure as a High Officer. He regularly engages in sarcasm to hide his own self-disdain, though he is also cynical and insubordinate, specifically to his father, Sennion Crestmar as well as Admiral Kern.
== History ==
Dennison was cloned from Varion as a countermeasure against him should he rebel, but Dennison's tactical ability was very lacking. He received near-failing marks at the Academy, and kept losing battles and cementing bad battle strategies in his brain due to the multitude of people wanting to beat Varion's brother, for Varion was the most skilled. After he graduated from the Academy, he was sent to command battles against rebellions out in the Reaches. His tactical aptitude, like always, was terrible. He was eventually assigned to learn under High Admiral Kern, and though he was a squadron commander in name, he spent his year on the Stormwind training by hologram. Two months after this, he went to Kress to attend the greeting of the "hero" Varion. It was here that Dennison learned that he was a clone of Varion, and it was also here that his father Sennion was killed by him. After this, Dennison retreated to the Stormwind. He then requested an audience with the emperor to find out whether he was really cloned, which was granted. Dennison finally had his fears confirmed: he was but a defective clone. Dennison then took his responsibility as a squadron commander to heart and boarded his own minor command ship, the Perpetual.

Denocax salve

Denocax salve is an ointment used by surgeons on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
Denocax salve can be used to encourage skin growth on wounds, such as skin that has been stripped away by prolonged exposure to a highstorm.
After surviving his judgement by the Stormfather in 1173, a semi-conscious Kaladin thought that he should apply a denocax salve to his wounds.
== Notes ==
Denshil

Denshil is a singer on Roshar. He serves as the head of farming for the listeners.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Denshil has a scrawny build, despite wearing workform. He has black and red patterned skin that appears rough and coarse, as if it were marblework.
He is not comfortable engaging in subterfuge, and becomes very nervous when he conspires with Venli without the Five's knowledge. Venli is able to easily manipulate him by preying on his fears.
== History ==
Denshil had at least two children, including a daughter.
During the latter years of the War of Reckoning, Denshil served as the listeners' head of farming. Venli, under influence from Ulim, had resolved to protect her people by rediscovering stormform. She needed help to execute her plan, and recruiting Denshil was key. Denshil's position as a farmer gave him access to uncut gemhearts, since they were used in listener farming techniques. Ulim taught Denshil how to cut the gemhearts into faceted gemstones similar to those used by humans. Denshil told the other farmers that this cutting method allowed more efficient storage of Stormlight, which was true. However, as part of Venli's plan, Denshil secretly cut extra gemstones and hoarded them for Venli's future use to capture stormspren. Denshil was reluctant to help Venli, particularly because the gemstones were sorely needed for agriculture. However, Venli repeatedly used bleak predictions of the future to appeal to his deep-seated desire to protect his children and the other listeners.
By late , Venli wanted to accelerate her plans. The war had raged on for years, and Eshonai's interactions with the humans had both angered Ulim and caused Venli to feel envious. Venli told Denshil to hoard even more gemstones; when he balked at cutting them even smaller, Venli once again claimed that they were saving his daughter from subjugation or death at the hands of the humans. He relented, but requested that Venli tell the Five about her plans. She lied and said she would do so, and Denshil left to cut a recently captured gemheart.

Dent

Old Dent is a vendor on Scadrial.
Dent sells fried potatoes from a roadside cart near central Elendel. He cooks the potatoes to order, and they are served in a small or large pouch with an optional sauce. He is familiar with Wayne.
Wayne passed by Dent's cart while it was very busy and helped him serve the customers (while also sneaking a few potatoes for himself). Dent observed Wayne manipulating one of the customers into "trading" him his wallet.

Deral

Captain Deral was an Elisian man who traveled with Duchess Khrissalla and her party to Dayside.
== History ==
Deral and his lieutenant were killed by Baon while on the journey from Elis, while the three were scouting ahead. Baon lied about the incident to Khriss, saying that the border patrol had killed the two men while giving the three of them chase. Jon Acron confessed apparent inconsistencies in Baon's tale to Khriss, and Baon later confessed to killing them when Khriss observed that the two pistols he carried were taken from Deral and his lieutetnant. 
Later, when Acron is revealed as an assassin from Skathan, Baon returns and explains what really happened. He says that Deral was a fool, and that he was planning on selling Khriss to the Dynastic border patrol. Baon says that he took no pleasure in doing so, but was forced to kill them in order to ensure the safety of his and Khriss' missions.

Dereth

Dereth is the founder of the Shu-Dereth religion. Though his Fjordell name is more well-known in modern times, his original JinDo name is DeHwo.
Dereth lived in JinDo anciently and studied as a disciple of Keseg along with Korath. Keseg taught Dereth and his other disciples about unity, founding the Shu-Keseg religion. When Dereth and Korath left JinDo to teach in the lands to the north, they interpreted his teachings differently, which led to the foundation of Shu-Dereth and Shu-Korath. Dereth took Keseg's teachings about unity to mean that people should be united through obedience.
He presumably wrote the Do-Dereth, one of the holy books of Shu-Dereth, although over the years its text has been altered at least to include references to Jaddeth.

Derethil

Derethil was a western king on Roshar, who ruled during the Desolations He had fair skin and light eyes. He fought the Voidbringers alongside the Heralds and Knights Radiant.
After a Desolation, he commissioned the ship Wandersail and sailed westward, seeking the origin of the Voidbringers. He set off into a highstorm, and after sailing sometime through the storm, they found themselves crashed on an island in an archipelago surrounding a whirlpool. The island's people called themselves the Uvara, the People of the Great Abyss. They nursed the survivors from the Wandersail back to health. The Uvarans punished all failure of any type with execution at the command of their emperor. Derethil discovered that the Uvaran emperor was dead, which caused chaos and rioting among the Uvarans because they had to take responsibility for the brutal murders that they committed in his name. They escaped on the Wandersail with Nafti, the crew's guide and caretaker.
The story of his travels to the isles of Uvara was told by Hoid to Kaladin, possibly using Yolish Lightweaving.
This story deals heavily with taking responsibility for one's actions, and has parallels to Szeth's turmoil, who was forced to go through an almost identical realization during the Battle of Narak. It also parallels Kaladin's choosing to blame various sources, such as lighteyes or the Almighty for his misfortune.

Derytatith

Derytatith was a mountain in Terris during the Final Empire. It was one of the lower peaks in the Terris mountain ranges.
Travel to Derytatith is impeded during parts of the year.
In an attempt to save their lives, Sazed lied to Vin and Elend and convinced them that the Well of Ascension was located at Derytatith. He encouraged them to leave Luthadel and seek out the Well, arguing that their absence from the city would allow for a peaceful transition of power when Straff invaded. The pair agreed, setting off towards the Terris mountains the next morning, not realizing that Sazed believed that the city would fall and had fed them lies in order to spare them.
== Notes ==
Desh

Desh is a kingdom in southwestern Roshar during the Era of Solitude and a member state of the Azish empire. The people of Desh are referred to as Deshi.
==Geography==
Desh is a small nation that is situated at the foot of a mountainous area in western Roshar. It borders Azir to the east and Yezier to the south. Shinovar lies to the west and Babatharnam to the north, but they are separated by the mountains. During the Silver Kingdoms era, Desh was a part of Makabakam.
==Politics and Culture==
As a member of the Azish empire, Desh formally recognizes the Prime Aqasix as its emperor. In practice, the member states of the empire are generally self-governing, although they follow Azir's lead in international matters and maintain deference to the emperor through certain cultural customs.
People from Desh were common visitors to the Tashikki city of Yeddaw. Lift characterizes their clothing as "rural" in appearance with lighter colors, similar to clothing worn in Alm. Many of Desh's inhabitants are nomads, who travel between various waystops. Such waystops are typically marked by stone obelisks.
==History==
During the Silver Kingdoms Period, the land that would come to be known as Desh was part of the kingdom of Makabakam. Though Makabakam eventually lost authority and collapsed, causing various cultural groups and nations to form in its ruins. At some point during or after this event, Desh was formed.
At some point prior to 1174, Desh came to be a member state of the Azish Empire. 
Lift visited Desh in her past and enjoyed it, as few people had tried to kill her during her time there.
One of Desh's ambassadors was in Azimir when Noura told Dalinar that the Makabak empire would join his coalition against Odium.

Destined One

The Destined One is a hero from Earth who rises up to oppose the Dark One, leading the fight against them on Mirandus.
== Powers and Abilities ==
The Destined One has the ability to reach worlds outside of Mirandus, while remaining bound to Mirandus. The Destined One can travel to and from Earth, as Illarion does where he works for Mitchell and Young. They can create a portal to allow other people to travel between worlds as well. Their magic is said to edit the words of the Narrative itself, despite the Narrative being self writing.
== History ==
Prior to the rise of Malmahan the Uncalled, for every Dark One's rise, a Destined One rose up to fight and defeat them. With Malmahan's rise, no Destined One rose up to oppose him, and so Illarion took it upon himself to defeat a second Dark One, the first Destined One to ever do so.
With Paul Tanasin's rise as the latest Dark One, Illarion proclaimed Kraisis as his successor after Gosovic would not allow him to fight a third Dark One. However, Kraisis was the first Destined One to fail, as Paul defeated him in combat and bound his soul to bring forth more drull.
