}}
'''Artmyrn''' is a [[Thaylen]] book merchant from [[Kharbranth]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|8}}
 
He is friendly towards his customers, primarily as a sales tactic. He speaks to [[Shallan]] with a condescending tone.{{book ref|sa1|8}}
 
==Attributes and Abilities==
Artmyrn recognizes Shallan as [[Veden]] and speaks to her in her native tongue. Although he is a slick salesman, he is actually knowledgeable about the books he sells. Shallan suspects that Artmyrn is literate (unlike most men), but hides this ability from his customers since it would be considered crass in [[Vorin]] culture.{{book ref|sa1|8}}
 
==History==
 
Artmyrn was a bit taken aback, and his attitude became more candid. He and his wife brought Shallan some historical and philosophical books that interested her, such as ''[[Eternathis]]'' and works by [[Placini]] and [[Shauka-daughter-Hasweth]]. After he quoted Shallan a surprisingly high price, Yalb burst into the store claiming that he worked for [[Barmest]], a rival merchant. He called Artmyrn a swindler and claimed that Barmest could offer a large discount on similar books she had supposedly been looking at in his store. Shallan was surprised, but managed to play along. Artmyrn was incensed, but the ruse worked, as he cursed Barmest while selling the books to Shallan for a significantly reduced price.{{book ref|sa1|8}}
