'''Jost''' is a [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] man from [[Hearthstone]] in [[Alethkar]] on [[Roshar]] who grew up with [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|sa1|16}}
Jost was born into a typical Hearthstone family of the fourth or fifth [[nahn]]. His parents are farmers, and his father spent time as a soldier.{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa1|44}}
As a child, Jost worked in the [[lavis]] fields outside of Hearthstone with the other darkeyed children of the village, helping to keep the polyps free of [[
In {{Rosharan date|1166}}, he got into an altercation with Kaladin. Kaladin inadvertently made several comments that antagonized Jost, and [[Laral]] further agitated the situation. Jost claimed that his father should have been awarded a [[Shardblade]] after killing a [[Shardbearer]] in the [[wastescum skirmishes]], but someone else took the Blade while he was unconscious. Kaladin suggested that Jost's father could not have possibly won a Shardblade in the fighting since the [[Reshi]] people were not known to have Blades. Jost took this as Kaladin calling his father a liar, and he challenged Kaladin to a fight with wooden staves. Despite the fact that Jost had trained in the staff and Kaladin had never wielded a weapon before, Kaladin landed several blows and only lost the fight because he hesitated to hurt Jost. This was the first time that Kaladin realized how much he enjoyed using a weapon, and he asked Jost to train him further. Jost admitted that Kaladin had done well, but declined to train him, saying that [[Lirin]] would not allow it and that Kaladin should go be a surgeon.{{book ref|sa1|16}} The memory of the fight and the excitement that he felt while wielding the staff stuck with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa1|25}}
