{{DISPLAYTITLE:''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''}} [[Derethil and the Wandersail]] is a story that [[Hoid]] tells to [[Kaladin]] the night that [[Maps]], a fellow [[bridgeman]], dies. This is also the night that Kaladin find out about the effects [[Stormlight]] has on him, and [[Teft]]'s suspicions are confirmed. The Wandersail is the boat that Derethil traveled on in the story, which was built to sail the seas during [[Highstorm]]s, a thing no other boat had done. It was nearly destroyed, shipwrecked on an island in the middle of the ocean, by a giant whirlpool where ''it is said the sea drains'' and later it is mentioned that it was fixed in the [[Uvara]] shipyards. Eventually, Derethil and his remaining crew left on the Wandersail, using the momentum of the whirlpool to get them away from it. {{vehicle \|image=Wandersail by Ryland Malcom.jpg \|type={{cat tag\|watercraft\|Ship}} \|captain=[[Derethil]] \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[~~Category:~~The Stormlight Archive]]▼ }} {{for\|Wandersail (1174 ship)\|the Thaylen merchant vessel}} The '''''Wandersail''''' is a legendary ship on [[Roshar]]. It was captained by [[Derethil]], who had the ship built to travel through [[highstorm]]s. The ship sailed into the open ocean in an attempt to find the origin of the [[Voidbringers]]. It was shipwrecked on a ring of islands in the middle of the ocean that surrounded a giant whirlpool "where, it is said, the ocean drains". ▲[[Category:Stormlight Archive]] Derethil and his men met a people known as the [[Uvara]], or the People of the Great Abyss. The crew of the ''Wandersail'' were welcomed by the Uvara, and the ship was repaired in their shipyards. Eventually, Derethil and the crew uncovered some disturbing aspects of Uvara society and quickly left the islands on the ''Wandersail'', using the momentum of the whirlpool to get them away from it. They were accompanied by a single Uvara woman named [[Nafti]].{{book ref\|sa1\|57}} == Historicity == The story of Derethil and the ''Wandersail'' is told to [[Kaladin]] by [[Hoid]].
