Tashikk
Ethnicity Tashikki
World Roshar

Tashikk is a kingdom in southwestern Roshar.[1]

It borders Liafor, Yezier, Azir and Emul. During the Silver Kingdoms era it was part of Makabakam.[2]

The people of Tashikk wear one-sheet wraps.[3]

Tyn used a spanreed to communicate with the Ghostbloods via an information relay station that was located in Tashikk. [4]

A major city in Tashikk is Yeddaw.

Religion

The Tashikki worship the god Tashi -- also known as the God of Gods and Binder of the World[5] -- who has an enemy named Nun Raylisi, the latter being the reason why the Tashikki wear shiqua.[6] Additionally, there is a group of entities in Tashikki belief known as the Nine, who together with Tashi, appear to have bound the world.[7]

Darkness expresses some familiarity with Tashi as an individual, and speaks of him in the present tense, indicating that the god is likely based on a living entity.[7]

In Yeddaw, the last of the ten varieties of pancake made during the Weeping is dedicated to Tashi, though unlike the other nine, it is not physically made, and is more of a thought in memory of Tashi.[8]
