The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy.

The Ones Above is the colloquial name for a space-faring group that visit First of the Sun.[1]

Technology

The Ones Above have incredibly advanced technology. They have space ships, and the natives of First of the Sun believe that they "live in the Stars". They have small handheld devices that can map out the current locations of the Aviar. It has a limited range. They also have a large device that can locate Aviar and print out a map marking where they are with dots. The large device can also translates languages, including the language of the Ones Above. It does not need a power source. They have other devices that they are not willing to show the people of First of the Sun.

Goals

They visit many people in many other planets. They don't trade with the people of First of the Sun because that would be comparable to an adult negotiating with a child. However, they want to trade with them and as a result will occasionally give them devices such as the Aviar trackers in the hopes that they will develop faster. They intentionally leave documents such as blueprints in their machines as if on accident so that the people will develop faster.

Other appearances

We have met them, presumably on another world.[2]
