\|books=[[Oathbringer]] }}{{spoilers\|book=sa3}} '''Riino''' is an [[Elantrian]] (once [[Hoed]]) and a ~~man~~member of the [[Ire]]{{wob ref\|9414}}{{wob ref\|9415}} from [[Sel]] who serves as a lighthouse keeper and oracle near [[Kholinar]] in [[Shadesmar]] on [[Roshar]]. His name derives from [[Aon#Rii\|Aon Rii]]. Riino is a follower of [[Shu-Korath]], or at least has been heavily exposed to it, because he swears by Domi. He is bald and [[Kaladin]] is convinced that he is a [[Shin]]. Riino seems to be fairly [[cosmere]]-aware, mentioning being [[Investiture\|Invested]], [[Heightening]]s, and [[Surgebinding]].{{book ref\|sa3\|97}} == History == Riino becomes an Elantrian at some point before the [[Reod]]; he eventually becomes a Hoed, repeating a mantra of "Beautiful, once so very beautiful...", referring to the lost beauty of Elantris and the Elantrians. He survives until [[Raoden]], ten years after the Reod, realizes what his mantra means and attempts to get information on [[AonDor]] from him. Riino displays just enough rationality and memory to direct Raoden to put him into [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]], where he appears to dissolve.{{book ref\|elantris\|25}}{{wob ref\|8649}} When Kaladin, [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], and [[Azure]] accidentally enter Shadesmar, their travels bring them to Riino. Kaladin meets him first on a scouting mission, and Riino introduces himself as the Rii Oracle and offers to tell Kaladin's fortune during a [[highstorm]]. He has a large sphere filled with Stormlight that shows Kaladin visions during the highstorm when he puts his hand on it. Riino is surprised that Kaladin can see using the sphere, and guesses how Kaladin has access to Investiture. After Shallan, Adolin, and Azure arrive, Riino negotiates prices with them on supplies, and helps them get a ship to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref\|sa3\|97}}▼ ▲In fact, he is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]] and eventually takes up a post at a lighthouse. When Kaladin, [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], and [[Azure]] accidentally enter Shadesmar, their travels bring them to Riino. Kaladin ~~meets~~attempts ~~him~~to sneak ~~first~~up on aRiino, ~~scouting~~who--possibly ~~mission,~~using ~~and~~an enhanced [[Heightening\|life sense]]--detects him anyway.

Riino is surprised that Kaladin can see using the sphere, and guesses how Kaladin has access to Investiture. After Shallan, Adolin, and Azure arrive, Riino negotiates prices with them on supplies, and helps them get a ship to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref\|sa3\|97}} == Appearance and Personality == As a Hoed, he is small and extremely wrinkled; Raoden thinks he appears to be "a thousand years old".{{book ref\|elantris\|25}} When Kaladin and the others meet him, he has retained the wrinkled skin and also has the bald head common to Elantrians. Kaladin thinks he is [[Shin]]{{book ref\|sa3\|97}}, presumably because, as an offworlder, he lacks the epicanthic fold seen in most [[Roshar]]ans but the Shin. He displays a flair for showmanship; in his role as a fortune seer, he delivers a dramatic speech to entice potential customers into paying for fortunes, and confesses that he quite enjoys doing so. Once he realizes that Kaladin is not there for a fortune, however, he becomes businesslike and helpful, setting the travelers up with transportation and supplies.{{book ref\|sa3\|97}} == Notes ==
