For the legendary ship, Wandersail, and the associated myth, see Wandersail.

The Wandersail is a large, three-masted frigate on Roshar. Its namesake is the mythical ship captained by Derethil in the legend of the Wandersail.

History

Vstim had the Wandersail built in the shipyards of Klna City, which sheltered the ship from the Everstorm. It was engineered with high-tech fabrials which provide greater stability during storms.

During the True Desolation, Vstim gave his fleet of merchant ships to Queen Fen for the defense of Thaylenah from an imminent invasion, however he reserved the Wandersail. On the day of the Battle of Thaylen Field, Vstim offered the deed of the ship to his former pupil Rysn, along with a captain's cord and a promise to finance her first expedition. Rysn initially turned the gift down, however it is likely that she reconsidered after surviving the attack on the Thaylen Gemstone Reserve.

Trivia

• Brandon is writing a Stormlight Archive novella named Dawnshard with Rysn as the main character. He considered calling it Wandersail but wanted to avoid confusion with the ship from Hoid's story. The novella is set between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War and will include Rysn traveling to Aimia, presumably on this ship.
