'''Zyardil''' is a [[Sleepless]] living on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
Like other Sleepless, Zyardil is made up of a swarm of small creatures known as hordelings that share a hive mind, making its consciousness effectively immortal.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} The hordelings can be selectively bred to provide the swarm with enhanced abilities.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Zyardil seems to be one of the older swarms on Roshar, and is likely thousands of years old. It communicates with other swarms using a sharp, punctuated buzz. It is extremely knowledgeable about both the past and present of Roshar.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
==History==
Zyardil was one of the swarms that remained loyal to [[Yelamaiszin]], the First swarm. It was therefore involved in protecting [[Akinah]] after the [[Scouring of Aimia]], and participated in votes held among the twenty loyal swarms regarding important decisions.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
During the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'''s [[expedition to Akinah]], Zyardil was involved in a discussion with some of the other swarms about how to stop the humans. It expressed disappointment that the discovery of the ''[[First Dreams]]'' had renewed interest in [[Aimia]]. Unlike Yelamaiszin, it did not believe that [[Dalinar]] would destroy the Sleepless because he had made the decision of [[Honor]]. Zyardil believed that killing the crew of the ''Wandersail'' was a bad idea since they were on an exploratory mission; it believed their deaths would result in more expeditions to the islands. It encouraged Yelamaiszin to listen to younger swarms like [[Nikliasorm]] regarding the best way to deal with the humans.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
