'''Rebsk''' is a term for a shipmaster or owner that originates from [[Thaylen]] merchant ships on [[Roshar]]. It is capitalized if used as a title.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}}
A rebsk hangs a symbolic captain's cord with their colors to denote their position. When a rebsk is present on their ship, the captain follows certain formalities, such as welcoming the rebsk on board and asking for an indication that the voyage can officially begin.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} Traditionally, a respected rebsk may begin a voyage by taking a turn at the helm, although they are not otherwise involved in sailing the ship.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}}{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}} The captain defers to the rebsk in matters of planning the route and any on-shore expeditions; they also keep the rebsk apprised of any issues that may arise during the journey.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}}{{book ref|sa3.5|5}}{{book ref|sa3.5|12}} Although the captain is generally in command of the operation of the ship, it is within the rebsk's rights to give orders regarding the crew.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}}
