Difference between revisions of "Shinovar"

The '''Shinovar''' (Otherwise known as the '''Shin''') are a race of humans on the world of [[Roshar]]. The Shin live far to the west, beyond the [[Misted Mountains]] that break the torrent of the raging [[highstorm]]s. Because of this, the part of the world the Shinovar live in is a vastly different place, as the creatures there have not the need to adapting to survival in the highstorms. The land they live in has been described as "Slow" or "sluggish" compared to the rest of Roshar.

 

 

== Culture ==

Only the [[Truthless]] are considered lower than warriors in the Shin culture. At present, there is only one Shin Truthless, and there are not likely to be more in the foreseeable future. Truthless are exiled from Shinovar, and required to live the life of a Shin warrior outside of Shinovar. They are required to have a master, but are not allowed to seek or avoid a particular master, freely sharing information about their servitude to any who asks (assuming that a current master has not given contradictory orders). While the precise nature of the offense that makes one Truthless is unknown, it seems likely that claiming a [[Shardblade]] is crucially involved, as the only two things that a truthless cannot be commanded to do are to end his own life and give up his Shardblade.
