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. To view an earlier version of the wiki without spoilers for a book, go to the Time Machine!

It has been suggested that this page be merged into BioChromatic Breath#Drab.
The information on this page is much better suited to be included on other pages.

Drab is the colloquial name for anyone in Hallandren without a Biochromatic Breath. Terms such as Dull or Faded One are also used.[1]

They become susceptible to diseases that those with Breaths cannot catch. There are also a lot of minor effects caused by the lack of Breath. Drabs cannot be detected by those with Breaths. A person's allure decreases, as does the strength of their immune system. Emotions seem to also be numbed to an extent. A Drab is also incapable of Returning.[2] Many Drabs spend their time trying to earn enough money to buy back a Breath, others--such as some of those that had their Breath given to a Returned--however, cherish their status as a Drab.

If someone is made into a Lifeless before Endowment Returned that person, Endowment's gift of a divine Breath would come down, strike the Lifeless, and 'all kinds of craziness' would occur. They would end up as a 'drab god'.[3]
