The '''Ghostbloods''' are a secret organization found on many planets in the [[cosmere]]
Members are required to get a tattoo of three overlapping diamonds{{wob ref|4598}} somewhere on their bodies.{{book ref|sa2|64}}{{book ref|mb7|20}}{{file ref|Shadesmar Spren.jpg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Shadesmar Spren}} The symbol bears a resemblance to the three-petal shape of [[Marewill flowers]].{{book ref|mb7|28}}
== Objectives ==
=== Scadrian Ghostbloods ===
The Scadrian Ghostbloods are devoted to protecting Scadrial at any cost, and due to this came into conflict with the [[Set]] and [[Autonomy]].{{book ref|mb7|47}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}}
=== Rosharan Ghostbloods ===
{{sidequote
|Power, portable, easily contained, renewable. You hold the energy of a storm in your hand, Veil. That raw energy, plucked from the heart of the raging tempest. It is tamed—not only a safe source of light, but of power that those with … particular interests and abilities can access.
== Hideouts ==
They own a tenement building in [[Highprince]] [[Sebarial]]'s warcamp on the [[Shattered Plains]] that has a basement. In it there was a display of trophies that [[Shallan]] saw, including several enormous [[gemheart]]s, a tusk was probably from a [[whitespine]], an eye socket that looked like the structure of a [[santhid]]’s skull, a vial of pale [[Sand (Taldain)|sand]],{{wob ref|9288}} a couple of thick hairpins, a lock of golden hair, a [[Yolen|Yolish]] branch of a tree with writing on it,{{wob ref|5331}} a silver knife, an odd flower preserved in some kind of solution, and a chunk of pale [[Aether|pink crystal]] that looked like it might be some kind of gemstone.{{wob ref|12314}} There were also shells that Shallan vaguely recognized. There were no plaques describing any of these mementos.{{book ref|sa2|43}}
The Scadrian Ghostbloods have hideouts in Bilming{{book ref|mb7|39}} and Elendel{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}} .
== Structure ==
The Ghostbloods operate across multiple planets within the [[cosmere]].{{book ref|sa4|64}} They operate within a strict hierarchy, as a group of hunters without structure would turn on each other too easily. They do not strike against their own. They do not negotiate upward.{{book ref|sa4|30}} It is common for a master to spy on their pupils.{{book ref|sa4|13}} [[Ialai Sadeas]] warns [[Shallan]] that the Ghostbloods will watch her to ensure she doesn't rise high enough to learn secrets that could hurt them.{{book ref|sa4|7}}
Upon joining the Ghostbloods, they share everything they know and the member can influence decisions. Mraize warned Shallan that if she were to break ties with the group, she would be hunted. He and his babsk would not hunt her, but all they could do was discourage others.{{book ref|sa4|13}} Members are not to share secret information with anyone outside of the organization, doing so would result in the assassination of the offender, due to the danger it can pose to the organization.{{book ref|mb7|47}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}}
[[Thaidakar]] is not on [[Roshar]] and only comes as an avatar
