Brightlord Roshone is a lighteyes in Alethkar on Roshar. He is the citylord of Hearthstone.
Appearance and Personality
Roshone is middle-aged, with a short, grey-streaked beard and an angry expression. He has light yellow eyes that seems to blame everyone and everything for his banishment [1].
He wears a sword and a takama, but seems a little too old and flabby to be a true soldier. Roshone was not important enough to have stewardship over any of the highprince’s lands. [1]
He is vindictive towards Kaladin's family, and Dalinar Kholin considers him a petty man.
By the time of the true desolation, he seems to soften, probably because of guilt. He dresses out of fashion and wore a wooden foot on his right leg. [1]
History
Kholinar and the Roshone Affair
Roshone owned several silversmith shops in Kholinar, and used his connection with Elhokar Kholin to further his own interests. He had become a confidant of Elhokar, who was then the crown-prince of Alethkar, in charge of overseeing the country while his father was away at the Shattered Plains. Roshone convinced the prince to arrest two elderly darkeyed silversmiths, his business rivals and Moash's grandparents, on false charges, where they died in prison awaiting trial. Upon discovering what had happened, Dalinar initially wanted to strip Roshone of his rank and wealth, but political pressures forced him to instead exile Roshone to "a place he couldn't do any more harm".[2]
First years as Citylord of Hearthstone
Roshone had been shipped to Hearthstone as punishment for the deaths Moash’s grandparents. He becomes the new citylord of the town, where the previous citylord, Wistiow, had died.[3].
From the very beginning, he suspects that Lirin stole spheres from citylord Wistiow, and so treats Lirin and his family badly. Though there is a debate between Roshone and Lirin, it doesn't bring him a satisfying result.[4]
Eventually Roshone and his son Rillir go on a whitespine hunt where both of them are badly injured. Lirin, Hearthstone's surgeon, does save Roshone's life but can't save Rillir.[5] When Brightlord Amaram, a distant cousin of Roshone, comes through the town to recruit, Roshone takes his revenge by deciding that Tien has to join the army.[6] At this event, it is obvious that the daughter of former citylord Wistiow, Laral, who was supposed to marry Rillir, would now marry Roshone.
After the Everstorm
Roshone’s manor survived the Everstorm and he sheltered the village in it. The parlor became a surgeon’s triage room, with mats laid out on the floor bearing wounded.[1] He was indeed married to Laral, who claims to be happy with the agreement, and seems to be in charge of the town, as the soldiers need her approval and not Roshones to follow Kaladin’s orders.
