Seld
World of Origin Roshar
Universe Cosmere

Seld is a series of books on Roshar with at least fourteen volumes. It was among the many literary works that Jasnah Kholin consulted during her research of the Voidbringers and Unmade. Seld's authorship is unknown, but it wasn't written in Alethi; one of the people who translated it was Gashash-son-Navammis, who was considered a trustworthy source by Jasnah. The single known quote, however, was questioned by Jasnah, and she was considering translating it herself.[1]

Story[edit]

It is unknown what these books are about specifically, they do however reference the Voidbringers in some way.[1]

Quotes[edit]

Born from the darkness, they bear its taint still, marked upon their bodies much as the fire marks their souls.

—I consider Gashash-son-Navammis a trustworthy source, though I'm not certain about this translation. Find the original quote in the fourteenth book of Seld and retranslate it myself, perhaps?[1]
